rdb Report post Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) I spend a great deal of time making little things for people, that they can't replace. This customer had a little pouch for his cards, but it was falling apart, and needed to be replaced. He keeps about 5/8", or so, of cards in it. So here it is. For some strange reason, it just feels good to have in your hand. Horsehide, about an hours time of figgering, sewing and cutting. Nothing here to really show off, but you can use this thread to show off YOUR simple items, replacement projects, or whatevers...

Regis Report post Posted June 12, 2009 Nice peice. And, it does look like it is simply comfortable in the hand. Is that garmet leather or? Regis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted June 12, 2009 Thanx Regis, It's garment/chap horsehide. I found one side at Zack's about a year ago. It was left over from when Harley made chaps from horsehide. Last piece he had. I spotted it right out, and have used it for over a year. Down to about 5 square feet now. If anyone knows where to get another side, let me know....

Spider Report post Posted June 13, 2009 This is simple but looks nice. For a member that has some mad skill with leather this is a humbling thing to show. Thank you for keeping it simple sometimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post Posted June 18, 2009 Doesn't have to have fancy tooling, juicy braids or nutting like that because it looks perfect in execution and probably you achieved what you had envisioned for it to be and that makes it awesome. I really like it!! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKRay Report post Posted June 18, 2009 Cute little pouch, Dave. Those sort of things always take longer than anyone thinks to make them look that nice. Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveBrambley Report post Posted June 18, 2009 That is very good, I do like the turned (folded) edges. Did you use a machine or by hand to skive the leather? Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted June 18, 2009 Thanx Spider, Tom, Ray, Dolphini, and Steve! Neither Steve...It's thin enough for the one fold over the lining, and a good pounding, but when I use it for wallets, I need to skive it (on glass) by hand, to get over all the cc pocket liners. I sometimes botch that. Sure do wish I could afford a skiver, but that's next years list, along with a flatbed stitcher, and a clicker, and a stand up riveter, and a press, and a PONY!, and a .....
