rdb's "open thread" has got me motivated to start a thread i've been wanting to see for a while.

I'd like to see your first......whatever.

Whether its your first project period, or your first seat, wallet, saddle, purse, belt, sheath, etc.

I'll start with my first wallet.

I still have my first project ever (a seat) and will post a little later.

So, come on, lets see em. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

The second kick from a jackass is of no educational value.

okay...but i can't find my first, but i did find some early pix from way back when...1975. Considering what they were making in them days, i think I was ahead of the box by a couple days. I think that guitar strap is still around somewhere. The ship has been my mousepad all these years...it's too dark to show any image now....lol. The stitching was done on an old twin needle with one needle out. Note the old fashioned "button hole" pockets, I still love those.

There is a thread in "Show Off!!" under My First Saddle where I posted this photo, but this is the first saddle I ever made. It was my daughter's wedding present in May of 2006.Saddles_386.jpg

My choice early in life was either to be a piano-player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference.

Wow, you guys have some really nice "firsts". Just goes to show how much talent we have here.

I happen to have handy in my "outgoing attachments" folder a photo I took of one corner my first chess board... I was resuming leather work after about 25 years of inactivity. I also have another photo of one I did with the exact same pattern about a year later. I really cringe when I look at the first one.

Following on to Kate's post, here's a key fob I created in 2006, and the same design executed about six months later...
