First leatherwork - a wallet

[CaptainChaos]

I really enjoyed my first project, and will be doing more. Any clues for improvement would be appreciated!

I will use thinner leather for the next one's insides, it's no fun stitching through several layers of thick stuff..

Cool for a first project. You are right to be proud.

I aggree with Spider. I like the inside layout, easy access to most needed things.

Even though I use alot of plastic I allways seem to end up with piles of coins so it's good to have a place for those to. It's horrible with coins in the pockets.

Welcome to the forum Chaos, you will fit right in as there tends to be a fair bit of chaos here every now and again. Great looking wallet, how did you put the Electro Glide on it?

Thank you for the feedback!

That went to a friend, and he didn't want a coin pocket. He agrees with Faith no more: "Sense of security, like pockets jingeling".

The text was cut with one of those swiveling little knives, and beat with a hammer and background tool. I borrowed the tools, not knowing if I would enjoy this or not.

Chaos, that is the best description of how you did the lettering I have read on this forum. I'm glad it all worked out and that you enjoyed beating a dead cow with a hammer and tool.

Hope to see more of your work in the future.
