Members azrider Posted October 30, 2008 Members Report Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) I have done a few projects with leather in the past few years, and did some as a kid and in boyscouts. I have been having a lot of fun with it, but am still very much a beginer. I do love the fact that no one has a belt or wallet like mine, and am really looking forward to more projects. Here is a wallet I finished about 6 months ago. It is a Tandy kit, and is well broken in now. My current project is a belt. The blank was purchased from tandy, and I messed around to come up with this pattern. I am going to put a sealer on the raised edges, and then us antiquer on the rest of the belt. I was very excited to see some posts of people doing motorcycle seats and bags. When I put the bike up this winter, I am going to build some bags and recover the seats. Looking forward to learning a lot here. Edited October 30, 2008 by azrider Quote Drygulch Leatherworks- Baldwin City, Kansas www.drygulchleather.com

Members azrider Posted November 1, 2008 Author Members Report Posted November 1, 2008 Thanks for the welcomes! I have not really done much with any leather working in the last few months, so tonight I pulled out my stuff and finished stamping the belt I started a few months ago. I also made a key ring with a basket weave pattern. I have never been able to get the spacing right on that tool, and the post in the stamping section helped. I forgot how much fun this is.
