Members Airth Posted June 6, 2016 Members Report Posted June 6, 2016 I haven't posted in quite awhile, but wanted to show a little progress thanks to those I've conferred with here. Attached is a "steampunk" styled phone holster/wallet sized to fit an iPhone 6+. It's all hand cut, tooled and sewn out of veg-tanned 4-5 oz leather, and finished in tan gel antique. The front pocket is large enough to hold an ID, some cards and cash, so it's essentially a minimalist wallet one can wear on their belt. Thanks for looking, and thanks for your feedback! Quote
MADMAX22 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Cool, great job on the tooling. Looks time consuming (not that any tooling isnt). I really like that backgrounder, use it whenever I get the chance. Quote
Members Chief Filipino Posted June 6, 2016 Members Report Posted June 6, 2016 Nicely done! Did you use the stamps for the gears or are those all hand cut/tooled/etc? Also how did you get the background on the inside of the gears? I am very impressed! Quote
Members bob21804 Posted June 6, 2016 Members Report Posted June 6, 2016 Very, very nice. I really like that a lot. Beautiful work. Quote

I use a single chisel punch to cut them, as the smaller ones are too fine for a swivel knife. The backgrounder is just angled sharply for the interior of the gears. Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
