New To This Hobby. This Is My First Project.

Recommended Posts

So I got into this hobby after a friend of mine leather tooled a rose design into a chopper seat. Then I asked him to make me a guitar strap for my Taylor. Now my friend is really talented in this stuff but he's really busy with other things in life to get leather projects out in a reasonable manner. I figured I could give it a go and thought I would really enjoy the hobby. This is my first project. I got the idea from a beer koozie on instagram and then just made my own. It's rough around the edges... I got anxious to finish it and could have spent more time on certain parts but I think it still turned out pretty well. I made this for my for my roommate who is moving out soon. We work offshore on ships. Hence the helm, and M is his last initial. We both play guitar together so I put some music notes on there. I'm sure nobody will recognize the helm and M but it's a design from a BMX company. Madera. It's a smaller division of Profile and they make stems, hubs, and sprockets. I like it. I'm looking forward to making my own guitar straps in the future!

Hey 5Alive ...............................

Firstly, Welcome, to the best leather forum anywhere !

Secondly, Coinsidently I'm in the same spot you are in.

I'm beginning to make some Christmas presents,

their exactly the same COOZY design as yours, and the same insulation products as yours look to be.

I like your lacing somewhat better than what I had in mind to do too !

Good luck in this, and all your leather working endivours.

I'll try to post my completed project when completed.
