Thanks TRH, easier to get the cards out with the extra cuts. Never used that stamp before, picked it up shortly before leaving. I try to pick up a new stamp every time I go to Tandy, thought this one was interesting. I think the stamping could have came out a little better, but I was on the road for half the month so not too bad for the situation. Mobile leatherworking kits FTW!

You have a number for that stamp? I can't find it on the site. I really want to try it out.

Thanks,

Tom Hodder

I'm still in - technically, I've still got tomorrow to finish,right?...and the %@@#$%^@$%&@%@$% wallet is fighting me every step of the way.

It occurs to me that having a motorized sewing machine would be very very handy when doing french edges.

Combination of TBoyce's pattern and KK assembly.

Things 'right' with this - pattern pieces work well, I had some decent leather to use to start with.

Things 'wrong' with it- my small sewing machine crapped out after assembly of the right side pocket panel. It's got french edge binding the card pockets and forming the cash pocket.

The left side.....crap-tastic. The Boss was used to complete the sewing, and having the wrong machine definitely shows. The thread used in this is 207 top and bottom, and is just too large for the application. Likewise, when I sewed on the edge binding, the binding material itself is too thick. That said, the edges alone should stand up to years of hard use, so I may remake this one when I get a more suitable machine for this type of work.

In short, this wallet fought me from the very start...but since I said I would...I did.
