SmokinP Report post Posted April 2, 2008 Well I been lurking about here for quite a little bit now. Never really had nothin to show that wouldn't make me hide my face in public. While nowhere near the quality of things seen here. I'm gonna let you see this one. Pretty simple cell phone holder. Didn't take all that long to make. Kinda suits me cause it's simple...no flaps or snaps or nothing. Secure enough to wear horseback but easy enough to get the phone out if somebody calls. Anyways, thanks for lookin.

Spider Report post Posted April 2, 2008 I love these so much. Simple but useful. Looks good too. Stitching is nice and tooling is cool too. Keep at it and let's see some more work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post Posted April 2, 2008 Nice and elegant piece! I like that the phone is a bit visible, I bought my last phone (that died yesterday, sob sob) with two things in mind: good mp3 player and stunning looks. about my phone that died I just like to add a little something I noticed the other day, I never used any cellphone holders, the phones just lay in my pockets, my fishing bag, my camera bag and all over the place but doesn't those phones that die always seem to fall out of ones hands after you picked it up?? I probably would have to lace it in my hands to secure it, lol. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmokinP Report post Posted April 2, 2008 I sure enough appreciate the encouraging comments. Pretty humbling to put your work out for the masters to see. I am getting a little better as I get time to work on things. There's been more than a few pieces that weren't quite fit for a camera lens. I look in on here most everyday. The work I see always just amazes me. Just so much natural talent put together with highly refined skills. But the thing that really makes this site a "must visit" is the willingness of folks to share their thoughts, ideas and hard earned experience. There's way too many of ya for me to shake everybody's hand so I'll just say a big thanks to you all. I've machined parts within tenths of thousands of an inch, moved machines weighing 100 tons, dealt with canterkerous horses and been on the business end of a woman's fury....but now this leatherworking - that's a challenge. Best regards to all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don101 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 Nice please explaine the brand and how you did it, did you do it freehand or do you have a small iron? Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmokinP Report post Posted April 2, 2008 The brand is just done freehand from pattern I made with AutoCAD. Nothin real fancy, I just cut it with a swivel knife and kinda widened it with a ball tool on a modeling tool. Then just used one of those black Sharpie markers to make it dark. The name is done pretty much same way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misfits Report post Posted April 2, 2008 I think it looks great. The barbed wire is nice and straight (not so easy to do) and the stiching is nice. Keep up the good work. I like the branding iron look John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
