Hello, I am new here and as a "business card, I wanted to share my most complex work, it's a mask but there are a few techniques and materials that you might not know about, also some kinda complicated molding and I made a full video for how it is built. I hope you will enjoy it.

This is my latest bag. It's been about a year in the making as I had to put it aside for client orders. Finally took the time to finish the handles and put it all together. Fully turned briefcase with English suit wool accents. Entirely hand stitched as always. I made the handles out of solid brass and wrapped them with leather for comfort. One exterior pocket on the gusset for pens and such and one on the body for a phone or a pair of gloves. I had thought about building it with piping, but I'm glad I didn't on this one. I like that it's clean and understated. Comments and critiques welcome.

Little King Goods posted this stitching pony on his IG and had to order one. It came from Korea in about 2 weeks a little pricey for what it is, it is very nice and very portable. I am going to put some leather on the jaws love this design I think I might have to reverse engineer this in walnut or oak.

This is Spanish vegtan from my mate Martin, between 1,6mm and 2mm thick. I dyed it myself and am very pleased with my mixed new cognac colour, the dyes are Fiebings. I have featured a brogue punch hole designs....I love this it is like those fine English shoes. The tool makes 5 holes, you have to sometimes remove the small holes to go around corners..the only thing I do not like is the creasing on the leather on the fastening clasp after use...can thi be avoided at all?. Any suggestions. Charles -
Hi all, Here's a look at my first leather project in about 10 years, thought I'd share. I'm calling this a prototype due to it being pretty rough around the edges.

Small Roll Top Bag
AdamPCain posted a topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
My first attempt at a roll top bag I made it to carry my DJI Mavic drone, I learned a lot making this the most time consuming parts were the small parts. I need a sewing machine hand stitching is just to much for bigger projects. -
My most favourite thing to do when I have the time is make shoes! I have treated myself to some WALNUT Italian leather oxfords, hand stitched down sole and leather lined...yummy!

We have recently got into making watch rolls. I actually got to take a few pictures during the build so I wanted to share. Here is a link to a video of one of the rolls. https://www.instagram.com/p/BSMGbPNDULH -
Hello all, It's been a while since I have been here to show some of my stuff, but since I am now (almost) done with my very first saddle (stirrups and breast collar are waiting to be done), I wanted to post some pictures of it here... I have chosen DVDs and books as sources, I've made my own patterns, and since almost every saddle over here is more for recreational riders than the hard working cowboy, I have made some decisions considering weight etc... The Saddle is made for my wife, it is all handstitched, it's got a 16" Seat, Small Skirts, inskirt rigging, and features a rather simple border tooling :-)... I've had some problems here and there, but all in all, for my first saddle I am very proud... Alltough I am a little bit scared; feel free to critique whatever you may find odd or "special"... haha :-) Thanks, Andy

Well, I finally grew tired of using my substandard edge creaser. I thought of shelling out for the Vergez Blanchard model, but just couldn't part with the cash so I decided to make my own. Solid brass construction with beech wood insert. Threaded brass rivets hold it together and knurled brass knob for adjusting the width. Works like a charm and feels miles better that my old "Tandy" creaser.

This is my first attempt at a leather jacket. I used left over 3oz leather to construct this, trimmed it with 5oz veg-tanned, 100% wool lining and deer antler toggles. This all hand punched and stitched. Any feed back would be appreciated. This is also my first post and I haven't figured the best way of adding photos.

So I made a belt again. This time as part of a gift for my fathers 60ths birthday. As I am getting used to making this sort of belts I think I improved a lot from my very first one to this one, even if I made two little mistakes (happily I was able to remove them in an invisible way). I might finish of the belt-keepers edge a bit better, but besides that I am quite happy with the result. And actually his reaction just showed me that he likes it a lot, too. Made from cowhide (croupon), dyed and stitched bye hand using 8 SPI all around. The buckle is made of solid brass.

First post here, I figured I'd show y'all my progress since starting this craft a few months ago. The wallet with 4 pockets is my first of that design and I've been using it myself since making it (3 months or so ago). Since then I've learned quite a bit more about finishing the edges and have a much better idea of what I'm doing with that. Still working on getting my stitching to look clean though. I'm using one of the 4 prong punches from Tandy and can't seem to get really consistent results on the thicker projects (like wallets). Anyway, thanks for looking! -
This is a belt for a friend. She bought like 1 new belt/year, because she was used to this standart-crap-belts which started to disintegrate after about 10 to 11 months.... so the Plan of her husband was to give her a lasting belt she could enjoy "a little longer" and which looks better than the stuff before. I used some 2mm veg tanned cowhide lined with about 1,5mm, so the backside of those rivet-like pyramids would scratch her pants and would be visible plus a nickel plated brass buckle, handstitched all the way around. (I know that the stichting line isn´t perfect.... but I am just waiting for my pricking irons to arrive! Hope they´ll come soon) Hope you like it -
I woke up at 3 am the other night and decided to work on something I have never tried before. I created the design and pattern in Illustrator and then got to work. When I finished at 6:30 am, this was the product. I'm very happy with how it turned out for it being my first time trying an inlay. There are a few spots where the stitching is too close for the inlay vs. the outside. The leather is 2 - 3 oz Horween Natural Horsehide Chromexcel and the denim is a USA Chambray Swift 12 oz indigo raw denim. Thread is natural 4 ply from Royalwood. All of it his handmade except for the burnishing in which I used a cocobolo burnishing bit. Any critiques or recommendations for when I do more inlays in the future? I have some more denim, duck canvas and wool to try doing inlays with.
