Members thefanninator Posted October 21, 2015 Members Report Posted October 21, 2015 Really nice work. I also did a couple based on the style Petewon has done. I did not do the middle interior piece. My leather was some cheap calfskin from Springfield. I rushed the dyeing and finishing but I think the construction turned out pretty good. A few more to really nail them down. I'd like to use some thinner, nicer leather. Quote http://www.instagram.com/fannintexas/

Members thefanninator Posted October 22, 2015 Members Report Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks. Looking at yours I see a few things I can do to improve mine. I see how your bill pocket piece is shorter on bottom... I need to do that... that would help thin out the edge even more. What are you creasing with? I got the Regad electric creaser a while back and it has greatly improved my creasing. Things look much finer with that nice crease. Your edges are smooth. Nice.

I use a modified cheap tandy creaser (sharpened edge) think i'm going to buy Regad to. And tips for creasing. Tip for edge paint (Probably CT/Beraud) and a tip for watch straps. Quote
