My First Projects - Pint Glass Cozies And A Mora Sheath

Recommended Posts

Hi All - just got into leatherworking after watching many vids and eventually springing for a leatherworking kit with just about everything I need. Thought I would post up a few pics of my first projects.

My first one - I made a pint glass cozy for my wonderful VW van mechanic. Not only does he continue to work miracles on his customers' beloved vans, but he is also a big fan of The Grateful Dead and good beer. So I made him this (I went for the vintage, "shopworn" look):

Then I made a Scandanavian-style sheath for my small, Mora Classic 2.1 knive. I finished the leather in olive oil. I also sanded the red handle paint off the Mora and hit is with some olive oil as well:

And now I have decided to make a bunch of pint cozies for my buddies with whom I kitesurf - so we can drink our post kitesurfing session beers in a more sophisticated manner, albeit rustic..:-) I included some "non-slip" basket weave stamping.

Oh maaaan! I just noticed in the photo I posted that I left the "L" off the logo for my friend Greg's cozy! Oh well - I will just tell him that his is "unique".

For earlier stuff - you are doing great !

Glad to hear you are enjoying your hobby/skill, I know what you mean. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with orders and when I finally get back to it - I just grin as I make nice things.

Keep up the great work !!
