Beautifully crafted and eminently practical. The same moulding, filled with shot would make fine weights for holding patterns down too. 

I love the punch-work. Its like brogue got an upgrade.

Stay Safe.

Thank you.  These weights can be used for anything in your shop, including holding patterns and rulers etc.

Ah! I'm so dumb! I actually thought they were needle cushions because I've seen something similar, though not so proficiently made, used to store needles but it was just a lump of wadding inside and not very heavy. 

You've got me thinking now. I'll have to check what offcuts of wood I have that I can route a former out of to try that. Thank you for the inspiration.

Nah you aren’t dumb.  I’ve seen some of those needle thingies and I can see why you might think it.  I never had a use for them.  I just stick all my needles to a neodymium magnet on my bench.  Don’t have room or a need for a fancy needle holder

Thanks Chuck!  All hand punched, with care.  No machines here

Thread was purchased from Leatherartisanlab.com out of Spain.  Don’t remember the brand but you can find it on the interwebz.  Good stuff and tons of colors.  And thank you!

Nothing wrong with those!  I have some that are similar.  Very useful.

Thank you.  They are fun to make.  However, the soft bags are more useful in some situations.  It’s nice to have both.

Thank you!  I do use eco flo, but all of these are Fiebings.

I think I've asked before and have forgotten since, but what do you use for the weight inside? All are great as always, thanks for sharing 

[immiketoo]

Whatever heavy I have on hand.  These have lead and steel inside.
