Members Instinctive Posted February 12, 2017 Members Report Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) I got tried of leaving my coffee cup on assorted tables at the farmers market so decided it was time to free up the hands and make a drink sling. I also wanted a project to try copper riveting for the first time. Made it with a shoulder strap and optional belt loop carry. Pattern drawn on my CAD system and prototype first out of craft foam which I am pretty sure is something I read about on this forum. While designed for my coffee cup I am very certain it will be more than suitable for a variety of beverage container. Lawn mowing will be a better experience this summer.

bikermutt07 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 Incorporate an I phone case and card wallet into that contraption and I bet you got yourself a big seller. Looks great. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Looks great. Yep bikermutt07. A couple more d-loops to clip stuff too and it becomes an an accessorized cup holder. Sort of a bag without the bag. There seems to be a trend toward minimalist carry. That may work. Quote Eric Fisher Fisher Custom Leather "A Retirement Project" https://fishercustomleather.wordpress.com/
bikermutt07 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 It's the solution to the man purse. If there is no flap and you can hang a beer on it, it's not a purse. Make'em in black and call them the "tactical koozie". TaDAA!!! Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later....

Members RoamingGnome Posted February 13, 2017 Members Report Posted February 13, 2017 In less than 24 hours this went from a lawn mowing accessory to an all out lifesaver perfect for carrying on a plane and keeping your trouserly flotsam and jetsam within easy reach! And now I must make one. Mine will end up weighing 15 pounds and looking like I drug it through a landfill with all the junk hanging off of it but TSA won't have to open up my bag to sniff around anymore. Slick design WRLC and thanks for the idea mutt! Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 That's what we're here for. Mine will have a life preserver and a parachute. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!!
