Members DustinSmith Posted January 23, 2023 Members Report Posted January 23, 2023 I made this clutch wallet for a customer 3 years ago and the zipper finally gave out, she just wanted a new zipper on it but after I saw it again I decided to make her a new one, thus is what 3 years of practice, patience and alot of curse words will get you, so anyone new to leather, don't give up!

CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 23, 2023 CFM Report Posted January 23, 2023 tell us about your build. What thickness leather you using? Is it lined? Quote

Members DustinSmith Posted January 23, 2023 Author Members Report Posted January 23, 2023 I'm using 4-5 oz leather for the shell, a floating canvas liner for the inside with 8 card slots on the inside, I'll post pics of the finished product as soon as she's all stitched up, thanks everyone! Quote
Members YinTx Posted January 31, 2023 Members Report Posted January 31, 2023 Incredible bit of tooling there! Nice! Quote
Members Outfitr Posted February 8, 2023 Members Report Posted February 8, 2023 Huge improvement! Nice work. I've actually thrown out some of my own projects that I was pretty happy with at some time. Quote
Members Beanwood Posted February 10, 2023 Members Report Posted February 10, 2023 Well, having not yet tried carving, I'd have been very happy with the 3 yr old version - but the latest is just wonderful. Quote
