Members shinelightshine Posted January 5, 2014 Members Report Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Hey guys! It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I'd show you all what I've been working on. Recently I've finished a passport wallet, a couple glasses sleeves, a wallet, a key lanyard, a coin pouch, and a small tobacco pouch. Attached are some pics of the completed projects. Thanks for checking it out! -Nick Edited January 5, 2014 by shinelightshine Quote

Members r lenna Posted January 6, 2014 Members Report Posted January 6, 2014 That's Beautiful work. Nice stiching and lines Quote
Members Blak Smyth Posted January 6, 2014 Members Report Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Everything looks really nice with good stitching. I really like the passport wallet. One thing I noticed is the snap on the tobacco pouch is smashed crooked. The use of a shorter snap will prevent this. I had the same problem at first because I was using a longer snap, switched to a line 20 short and it worked perfectly. Here is a link to the ones that worked for me.

Members shinelightshine Posted January 7, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks a lot everyone . Everything looks really nice with good stitching.

I appreciate the tip with the snap. I'll definitely try out the shorter ones. I think I may have over pounded the snap as well on the tobacco pouch as well. Quote
Members VonTannin Posted January 8, 2014 Members Report Posted January 8, 2014 Very very clean work. Another tip when it comes to snaps, if you have a dremel or something similar in your shop, just grind down the post of the snap until its the appropriate length, then set it. Usually takes about 5 seconds on a dremel with a drum sanding head. If you cut or snip the post, it won't flare right when you set it, but grinding it doesn't effect the flare at all. Quote
Members Mikexd40 Posted January 8, 2014 Members Report Posted January 8, 2014 What ounce if leather are you using? I really like your work. Very clean. Hand stitched or machine? Quote
Members AndiH Posted January 8, 2014 Members Report Posted January 8, 2014 I won't comment on the quality of work since those with greater experience have. I do have a style concern with the tobacco pouch though. With only a snap closure doesn't some of the tobacco escape? Quote
