Members Hairic Posted December 31, 2020 Members Report Posted December 31, 2020 Hey guys Just going to Start a thread so I can post projects up and not have to create multiple threads, I'm Still new after dabbling in leather for about 4 years now, But Ill post Thing's I have done and let me know what you think. First is Just some tooling practice As I just dont do it enough, I also am trying to none traditional tooling (avoiding flowers and scroll work). This went left to right the first time I had tooled in well over two years to the next day to the day after that, The far right one didn't come out to bad, I was mostly trying to get better with my swivel cuts and I think I was able to make it look much cleaner. Any who Have a look. Quote
Members Hairic Posted December 31, 2020 Author Members Report Posted December 31, 2020 This is a saddle bag that I made for my Harley a while back so these pics show the dirt and junk I got on it because I did not seal this or anything, Design is actually super simple, I was proud of the stitching I did as its all hand stitched, Had a few mess ups but was actually happy with the results. Don't think I have the pattern any more which kind of sucks Cause I had allot of people ask to buy it when it was new. Anyway more to come. Quote
Members Hairic Posted December 31, 2020 Author Members Report Posted December 31, 2020 This is a purse I made awhile back aswell, Made it for my wife, used a small tool to do all the scales, took awhile but did come out pretty cool. Design flaw was that the flap was cut to thin so the sides flaired out and could dump things, I had attempted a draw string on it that failed horribly so i removed them. Made it about two years ago and its still looking good. Quote

Members JayEhl Posted January 11, 2021 Members Report Posted January 11, 2021 Not a flaw. Just learning experiences. Experience is the best teacher. Just don't give up!! Quote
Members Woodshed Posted January 12, 2021 Members Report Posted January 12, 2021 I think the tongue is fabulous and artful. If the flap needs to be held down, maybe a hidden magnet clasp or such would do? Looks great! Quote
Members Hairic Posted January 13, 2021 Author Members Report Posted January 13, 2021 Made this little doodle pad for an artist buddy of mine, Had planed to tool it and make it all fancy but I didn't because my tooling just needs work. I made the pages inside about 2 years ago and have just been holding on to them for that long, decided to use some scraps and whip him up something quick. Another one I wouldn't sell as it has to many imperfections but I think it will be good for him to use in everyday life and not worry about it getting destroyed. Quote
Members JacobEricksonnn Posted April 5, 2021 Members Report Posted April 5, 2021 Looks very cool. You have an amazing style! Quote
