Members Sceaden Posted February 14, 2017 Members Report Posted February 14, 2017 Outside of a tooling pattern I think this was my first project. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Posted February 14, 2017 I was curious so I dug into my attachments from a few years ago and found this picture of my first 3 projects. They are in order from left to right. I have to give old grierwolfe from grierwolfe customs a nod for helping me get started. My large sheath was built following his tutorials on YouTube. I didn't know anything about this when I started. 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.
Members AussieMade Posted February 14, 2017 Members Report Posted February 14, 2017 This is my third belt I made after getting back into leatherwork after making a belt and knife pouch 16yrs ago and never getting pics of them, and have unfirtualtey lost them over the years. Still wear this one as it is nice solid 10oz leather. Stitching is a terrible beige colour. I left the edges un-burnished as I like the way it looks. Quote

Members Sceaden Posted February 14, 2017 Members Report Posted February 14, 2017 Thanks! My first full project was a notebook cover for my mom's birthday. I started leatherwork because I wanted to make a few accessories for my muzzleloaders and a year later it had escalated way beyond that and I finally made some of the accessories. :-) I didn't get into it for a business but I have sold almost everything I have made and have a few orders pending.

Moderator immiketoo Posted February 14, 2017 Moderator Report Posted February 14, 2017 Ok, I'll play. My first holster and a more recent one. My first ever carving wont load for some reason. Quote Learnleather.com
Members Sceaden Posted February 14, 2017 Members Report Posted February 14, 2017 Sorry Mike, I don't see much improvement :-P Quote
Members Mhicks Posted February 14, 2017 Members Report Posted February 14, 2017 The argument could be made this is my second item but it was the first project I started and it took me about 2 months to finish it and in the mean time i did something else small but I can't remember what it was. Leather camera bag with removable insert. Quote
