LoneWolf1973 Report post Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I had found this one thread on a koozie but I made a pattern off the measurements and they didn't seem to work out (good idea though). So, I went to the drawing board and made one. It is a simple design that had to make a few mods in construction but I finally got one that I liked. I used a Craftaid for a wallet for the image on it. This is the biggest tooling project I have done in 30 years, since I got back into leather last year, and I found arthritis plays a big part (lol). Anyways, let me know what you think. I like it but if you see something that can be improved when I do another, please say so. I can take advice (lol). Also, I saw a thread on taking jewelry off and trimming your nails to prevent marks on your leather. Thank you. Also, like I had said on that thread, make sure your board underneath your project is clean as even the slightest things could show thru your leather. And another thread about casing leather, thank you, I was taught how to do that wrong. The article about casing made a big difference.
