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.

Thanks VonTannin! That's a great idea, I'll definitely give that a shot.

What ounce if leather are you using? I really like your work. Very clean. Hand stitched or machine?

Thanks a lot! it's about 4oz I think, a little thicker in some pieces. The side that all these are made from was 4-5oz.

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?

Yes, you're absolutely right. The tobacco does indeed flake out a little bit. I made another tobacco pouch for a friend that used a tuck closure instead and that worked much better (didn't leak at all). Another idea I had was to extend the front panel of the pouch up a bit, so that you could tuck it in and sort of cover the tobacco before snapping it shut.
