Well I had too much time on my hand so I started making swarf. Still in R&D, not sure what it's good for, but it does look cute :D

This is my best yet. Made the plastic for the body myself out of polyester resin. The nib and feed came from a Dupont Classique that had a cracked thread and was leaking ink. So I build this pen around it.

It's been a long time since I was last seen here :o Found a lump of rusty looking metal that looks like stainless steel so I cleaned it up and ground it to shape. After a bit of shaping and welding..... Forgot to take a picture of the complete belt when it was done. Couldn't wait to use...

I have been wearing hats for a few years now. So the itch to make one finally came :o There are flaws. For one, the hat don't fit! The cotton canvas shrank in the wash. So I am going to try again with a pre-shrunked canvas. Still in the process of shrinking. Comments are welcomed...

A pouch for your keys :D Made this one to try out the new hardware I've bought and also the two part rivets. Works really well. First time I am using steel hardware in my leather product. Given the choice, I would still prefer brass but they don't make these things in brass or at least, I...
