cheepo63 Report post Posted August 24, 2013 Hi I have been busy making watchstraps for fellow watchsavants on a Swedish watchforum. Thought I share some pics of some of the things I made. Please feel free to criticize and comment anything you thing could be better. And finally a little cardholder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basically Bob Report post Posted August 24, 2013 The watch straps look good. I find the construction of the card holder really interesting at the card opening ... the leather being folded at that point rather than at the bottom. Looks great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knazim Report post Posted August 27, 2013 These look fantastic. What size/type of leather and thread are you using? What is the thread/inch count? The finish of your products is fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Regards KN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
