Members Tubbyhh Posted October 28, 2011 Members Report Posted October 28, 2011 Newbie here... and haven't been pounding hide but maybe 6 months. Ordered a starter kit, did the usual checkbook cover, billfold, key fob etc... Started working on my own projects. Still just tinkering around, not selling anything as of yet, but once I feel that what I make is good enough to sell, I will. Here's a few things I've done... Holster for my .44 Mag. Archery arm guard Carving for a koozie Guitar Strap Shotshell pouch Another shotshell pouch for a friend Welding arm guard. Complete with a liner of fire blanket and a suede lining Knife sheath. I decided to make use of the brand on the leather for some character Knife sheath Trapper belt sheath More than likely I'll post up my future work on this same thread. Quote

Members HellcatLeathers Posted October 28, 2011 Members Report Posted October 28, 2011 Did you hand-stitch those items or use a machine? If it's a machine, which one? Your tooling is superb! Quote www.hellcatleathers.com
Members Tubbyhh Posted October 28, 2011 Author Members Report Posted October 28, 2011 Excellent workmanship on all the items. Thank you. Did you hand-stitch those items or use a machine? If it's a machine, which one? Your tooling is superb! Everything was hand stitched. Thanks! Quote
Members Tubbyhh Posted November 2, 2011 Author Members Report Posted November 2, 2011 Finished another welding armguard Complete with a layer of fire-blanket then a backing of suede Horizontal sheath for a skinning knife. I'm still trying to perfect my stitching... Quote
gringobill Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 If you've only been tooling and doing leatherwork for 6 mos. you are really making huge progress! Your work and tooling is really "clean," looking which is something that really takes a long time to achieve! From all the items you made, it's obvious you've really been working hard at it and it shows in the quality of your work. Keep it up! Bill Quote

If it is, you got the 1 in a 1000 that is somewhat symmetric l!!!! I think I got that from Hidecrafters... And yes, it's gotten off track a time or two... I need to find a "GOOD" one. Quote
