A case that you posted a few months ago provided the inspiration for this project. ABN...very nice work...you've helped make up my mind on a project I'm working on now...I call it my Plinking Rig...holster, belt, Knife sheath, and pouch like yours to carry .22 rounds in....That style wil be perfect for what I have in mind....thanks for the inspiration! Question...I will be using a block of wood to form the leather around it, how do you keep the side panels in place while you stitch?? Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net
Ambassador abn Posted October 25, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted October 25, 2008 how do you keep the side panels in place while you stitch?? Well, the side panel consists of two pieces of leather: a rectangular piece of 4-5 oz. leather (i.e., what you see in the photo) glued to a slightly larger piece of 2-3 oz. leather (about a quarter-inch larger on all sides). The heavier leather holds the shape of the pouch and doesn't allow it to collapse. The lighter leather is turned up and glued to the pouch body. Then the whole thing is stitched together. Clear as mud, right? Quote

Members craftsman827 Posted October 30, 2008 Members Report Posted October 30, 2008 Great job Alex, Your work , as always looks VERY pro. Just one question ? What are the 3 spots for on the middle photo ? Are they just for astectes [looks] Anyway, the bag looks great! Quote
tashabear Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Are they just for astectes [looks] (psst... it's aesthetics...) Quote
Ambassador abn Posted October 30, 2008 Author Ambassador Report Posted October 30, 2008 Tom and Craftsman, thanks for the nice words. What are the 3 spots for on the middle photo?Are they just for astectes [looks] Yes and no. The single rivet under the belt loop anchors the bottom of an interior pocket. (It's also glued, but I wanted a little extra strength.) The other two domed rivets hold an extra piece of leather to the bottom of the case (on the inside), thus reinforcing it for heavier contents. Probably none of the rivets were necessary, but I do like the way they look, too. So maybe some aesthetic value did influence my thinking... Quote
hidepounder Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Vrey nice Alex...clean smooth lines. I'd like to see it the interior lined...maybe 2-3 oz calf?....it would be a nice finishing touch and easy to do. Looks great! Quote
