Members David Bruce Posted November 29, 2017 Members Report Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) This is a custom case for a leatherman tool that I did recently. It's 5 oz. Hermann Oak that I wet molded on a wooden last that I made. It' has a hand tooled floral/engraving style design and initial. I used Fiebing's Medium Brown dye and Angelus Matte Finish. I also used a hidden magnetic closure to show off the tooling. It's lined with calfskin and hand stitched.

Members Stetson912 Posted November 29, 2017 Members Report Posted November 29, 2017 This is awesome. How did you tool that? What size tools? I would think you would need something fairly small. Quote
Members Rohn Posted November 29, 2017 Members Report Posted November 29, 2017 That is very beautifully done! Your magnet closure interests me and also I'd like to know how the belt loop is attached. Quote Rohn(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)
Members David Bruce Posted November 29, 2017 Author Members Report Posted November 29, 2017 Thanks, I used a few different Barry King tools for this along with a modeling tool. The belt loop is attached with brass rivets that are flattened so as to not interfere with the tool.

Members KingsCountyLeather Posted November 29, 2017 Members Report Posted November 29, 2017 Beautiful clean detailed work! Quote
mikesc Posted November 29, 2017 Report Posted November 29, 2017 Beautifully done. Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" .. ( Don Henley and "some French painter in a field" )
Members Tpc Posted November 30, 2017 Members Report Posted November 30, 2017 This is really lovely work. I have made a couple myself but I've not been able to get the bottom corners anywhere near as clean as yours. What's the best way to go about it? T Quote
Members battlemunky Posted December 1, 2017 Members Report Posted December 1, 2017 Man, that wayyyyyy outclasses the Leatherman for sure. It is the $5,000 dollar rims on the $500 dollar car. That ain't your fault. Wonderfully clean and well executed. Quote
garypl Posted December 1, 2017 Report Posted December 1, 2017 Really nice job on the tooling and the molding! Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
