Hello from Franklin CO, Mississippi,

[Frodo]

Hello Ya'll  i am Frodo from Mississippi,  I am not a leather worker but am learning.

I joined to get a few tips from those that know what I do not know.. WHICH IS A LOT 

I am very good at making guitar, rifle straps from para cord, whips belts  just about anything you can think of. and i am wanting to incorporate leather into the mix

My first project was making a wallet using a utility belt.   CRAZY HUH?  3- 2 1/2'' wide strips held together by gutted para-cord

my second project was another wallet.using veg tan belly cut 

Any help you guys can give would be appreciated.

WOW! That thing is a beast!! It would kill a bloke if it fell out of a tree.

A few different ideas I have not seen before, and I like them all. The paracord, the 2&1/2" strips, the lines pattern, the orientation of the internal pockets ... its all good.

You have a wonderful name, and you spell it correctly also.  The ""Y" is for sissies.  LOL

the cord is gutted to reduce bulkyness [[SP} 

HEY. I have no IDEA what i am doing so i am not in a box, and I can not find the box. I just do what my strange brain says to do

All your work that I have seen so far, is excellent, so don't sell yourself short. You have a definite style that stretches boundaries. Well done.
