Members TomE Posted Saturday at 09:32 PM Members Report Posted Saturday at 09:32 PM I got tired of my stretchy work belt and phone clips that break, so I made a couple of accessories for my day job as assistant mucker at Maefield Farm. The belt is made from 10 oz Hermann Oak chocolate harness leather with a liner. The phone case is made from 5-6 oz "oil tanned" leather from the SB Foot Tanning Co. The case was constructed around a block of closed cell foam, glued and sewn at 10 stitches per inch. The edges of the belt and case are sealed with beeswax. Quote

Members TomE Posted 22 hours ago Author Members Report Posted 22 hours ago Thank you all for your kind remarks. I've learned a lot from the members of this forum. Sewing is almost as much fun as learning. Quote

Nice work! Dang how much training till you make journeyman mucker???? Is there a chance of advancement to fecal relocation specialist? You've got me thinking about a new career path.

Members Mulesaw Posted 6 hours ago Members Report Posted 6 hours ago Looking really good! You are exceptionally good at making those nice looking edges! Brgds Jonas Quote
toxo Posted 3 hours ago Report Posted 3 hours ago Great job Tom. Yesterday I tightened up the belt that came with the trousers and the buckle came off! I had to find my belt before I could go out. Quote
Contributing Member Samalan Posted 2 hours ago Contributing Member Report Posted 2 hours ago Nice job on those. I like the hand stitching just behind the buckle, and the edges are slicked nicely. Quote
