Members andrewsejlv Posted August 21, 2018 Members Report Posted August 21, 2018 Here are a few recent pieces I worked on, including some wallets, notebook covers, and some pads for a new stitching pony! Quote
Members Rohn Posted August 21, 2018 Members Report Posted August 21, 2018 Lookin' good! Nice stitching. Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted August 21, 2018 Members Report Posted August 21, 2018 Clean as usual. Very nice. Where did you get that stitching pony! I need a better one. I have the tandy one and it works ok, but has a stupid threaded barrel that goes through it and is too high, I can't fit certain things in it. Quote

Members Dunluce Posted August 21, 2018 Members Report Posted August 21, 2018 I love simple well made clean looking leatherwork like this. Well done. Can I ask what thickness leather this is? Quote
Members plinkercases Posted August 21, 2018 Members Report Posted August 21, 2018 Very well designed and executed. Quote

The stitching pony is from DreamFactoryKR https://www.etsy.com/listing/583248914/leather-clampleather-craft-toolstitching?ref=listing-shop-header-1 I love this thing, and couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Members chrisash Posted August 27, 2018 Members Report Posted August 27, 2018 Your attention to detail and finish is superb, anyone can make a simple thing, but few can make them perfect like you have done, I would be proud to own one and have no chance of making one myself to that standard. Life is to short Quote

Expand Generous offer, I'll take you up on it if you will take some type of leather in trade. Anything in that range you would be interested in? I have Horween, Wickett and Craig, Hermann Oak, etc., even could consider Barenia... YinTx Quote
bikermutt07 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Posted August 29, 2018 Great looking stuff. Can you tell us more about the laser. I had thought you were using a nice laser thru a co-op? And are you cutting out the pieces with the laser or just using it for stitching? Quote

Expand I was using a higher end Trotec laser for a while, but lost access to it when the local makerspace went bankrupt. I now use a cheap K40 with a few simple mods, and it's working great! In total I've got about $400 into it, and couldn't be happier. I can make a dedicated post about it if people are interested, but the basic list of changes is: - Added air assist -Added a steel mesh bed (removed existing bed) -Upgraded cooling pump, and using ice packs to cool the water going through the tube I use the laser for cutting the outline, cutting the stitching holes, and engraving.

Members Stetson912 Posted August 29, 2018 Members Report Posted August 29, 2018 I'd love to learn about the laser. Especially if it works well and is cheap. As I am a poor white boy haha! Quote

Members HamiltonLeather Posted September 2, 2018 Members Report Posted September 2, 2018 Wow, looks very nice. I love the design and two tone of your minimalist wallets. Definitely interested in the laser cutting. It looks so clean. Quote
