Members Chad Prince Posted February 19, 2017 Members Report Posted February 19, 2017 A full leather pad folio for my son. Holds an 8 1/2 X 11 pad, has three pockets and a small pocket for cards. All hand stitched. And I laser engraved his name on the front. Quote
Members cradom Posted February 19, 2017 Members Report Posted February 19, 2017 Nice, clean lines. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 Very nice. 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 Wedgetail Posted February 21, 2017 Members Report Posted February 21, 2017 Very neatly done! Looks like a well thought out build too. What colour of dye is that? Ox blood? Quote

Members Wedgetail Posted February 23, 2017 Members Report Posted February 23, 2017 Oh wow, that would be one amazing notebook cover! Last forever, and handle any weather. Great gift. Quote
Members Famah Posted February 23, 2017 Members Report Posted February 23, 2017 Nice! That looks really great. I really love that color from W&C. The one thing I might do next time is stitch all the way around the closure piece, rather than just where it attaches. It would just be decorative, but I think it would tie in well with the stitching around the folio itself. Quote
ChicagoScreech Posted February 24, 2017 Report Posted February 24, 2017 Very cool, really like that color! Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 Can you tell us a little about the engraver? Is it easy to use, set up, etc? Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!!

Bikermutt07, it is a Full Spectrum hobby laser. It really is plug and play. If you have a program that prints, ie: word, adobe, ect., you can engrave with it. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 Sweet! 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 thepaul Posted June 29, 2017 Members Report Posted June 29, 2017 Very nice! Did you use something to reinforce the cover? A sturdy insert or something? If so, what material? Quote
