BillinOK Report post Posted February 8, 2010 I made a bunch of these, including for myself. This was one of about 20 that I made for a customer. I made several that were basketweave. I made these in all designs. They're fairly simple to make using 2-3oz leather. I bought large quanties of switch and socket plates. Roughed the surface of the plate for the cement to hold better. Had to use caution tooling and stamping because of the 2-3 oz. I oversized the leather, and rubber cemented it to poster board. Did the tooling and finishing right there on the poster board. Punched the screw holes. Then removed the poster board, cleaned, and cemented to the switch plate. I cut out the switch hole then touched it up. After the cement had dried good, I trimmed the excess leather off with a razor knife, then touched up the edge. Used clothes pins to help hold leather down along edges.
