Members opus56 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 15, 2015 I made another one w/ a few modifications. I added a pen holder and a small pocket to the interior, tapered the front flap and a closure. Quote

Members jsoulcrow Posted June 26, 2015 Members Report Posted June 26, 2015 Are you glueing the sides or does the strap hold the whole thing together? I love how the two strap bits are sewed together! Looks great. Quote

Members dogguy Posted July 27, 2015 Members Report Posted July 27, 2015 Amazing what kind of cost is this in raw materials? Quote
Members opus56 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 27, 2015 Amazing what kind of cost is this in raw materials? The oil tanned leather I buy from a local dealer in Utah runs about $95 for a side that'll at least 2 bags of this size w/ some left over. Then the rivets are a few dollars (from Tandy) and the double prong roller buckle was $4 from Tandy. So probably all said and done w/ thread, glue, and needles, I'd say $60 total in raw materials.

LOL...no, the shop I have was arranged for building guitars, but turns out it's a good work space for leather work too. Quote
