Kevin King Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 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.

Contributing Member rdb Posted February 5, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 5, 2008 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. Quote Web page Facebook

Mike Craw Posted February 6, 2008 Report Posted February 6, 2008 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. Quote My choice early in life was either to be a piano-player in a whorehouse or a politician.

Members CitizenKate Posted February 6, 2008 Members Report Posted February 6, 2008 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. Kate Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted February 6, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 6, 2008 Kate..they are both beautiful. Never regret...lol That second one shows about 6000% difference...wow..in one year! Quote Web page Facebook
Ambassador abn Posted February 6, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted February 6, 2008 Following on to Kate's post, here's a key fob I created in 2006, and the same design executed about six months later... Quote
