Members Mattsbagger Posted April 2, 2017 Members Report Posted April 2, 2017 Made up a proper style wallet. Whole thing is 3oz. Driving saddle tan. Quote
alpha2 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Posted April 2, 2017 Nice! Great stitching. I didn't realize you were in Colorado. Quote So much leather...so little time.
bikermutt07 Posted April 2, 2017 Report Posted April 2, 2017 It's about time!!!! Looks great , other Matt. 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.

alpha2 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Posted April 3, 2017 Still, that's a propper Roper! Can't tell from the pic, are those trays made from sewing the upper to a thicker piece as a base? Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members Sceaden Posted April 3, 2017 Members Report Posted April 3, 2017 Very nice! Is this MakeSupply's pattern? Quote

Members Jvineyard Posted April 5, 2017 Members Report Posted April 5, 2017 Very nice! Here's some hunter themed long wallets I made. Quote
Members Sofaspud Posted April 5, 2017 Members Report Posted April 5, 2017 Love the hunters wallets. Great dye work. How did you do the art work? I have a guy at work who wants a bunch of shotgun slings with ducks on them, I was planning to carve them, but I really like the look you got. Quote
Members Mattsbagger Posted April 5, 2017 Author Members Report Posted April 5, 2017 Hijacking my post.lol Quote

I actually figured out a really good process for transferring printed images. I print the image at work (Not inkjet but the toner kind of printer). Then tape it to the leather and use a cloth dampened with Xylene (available at home depot). Then I dab the image with it a few times letting it dry in between. I also rub with a spoon and even cover with a scrap piece of leather and cobble hammer the image in. With practice it looks like it was printed on there! Quote
