Continued Introduction

[Malabarmcgyver]

I just submitted my introduction, so I thought it made sense to show some of my projects as well.  These are not just leather, but demonstrates how I progressed to leather.  I'm just a beginner, so I know these could be improved, which I am continually attempting to do and one of the many reasons that I am here.

It looks like you've been busy with this 'new' hobby. Those projects turned out great. 

I really like the sling backpack on the right.

Thank you!  I made both of those for my wife and me specifically for a trip to Europe.  I used a XXL leather jacket that I got from Goodwill for a couple of bucks.  I am a little more confident now and have a decent inventory of leather from Weaver.

Thank you!  Many of these are from patterns.  I am working on an LV reproduction tote now for my wife and working from scratch has proven to be much, much more challenging.  I hope to be posting the finished product soon.

Have you seen this video from Corter Leather? I found it interesting on multiple levels, from technique and positioning of patterns as well as commentary on fair use of property you have purchased...

That video is not only interesting, but hilarious!  I have zero intention of selling fake LV stuff.  Thanks!
