My leather pouches.

[Handmade Matt]

I've made some leather pouches for my EDC items. Leatherman in one, fenix E01 torch in another and the last for occasional use as a pellet pouch or flint steel and char cloth carrier.
What do you think?

Thanks mate.
I've just finished another one:

Very nice pieces Matt.

Try a smaller Sam Browne stud perhaps?

I like the SB fastenings,just a thought re aesthetics,I've a few pouches that just need the smaller ones.

a good bit of advice from tom there.

Now personally i like stuff thats just a little different aesthetically. To me its what appeals. ...makes it truly yours and not somebody elses idea of whats what.

I've used a fairly thick leather (2-3mm) if I used any smaller (shorter) stud it would've been even more of a squeeze I think..?

I actually had a bit of trouble with them (It's the first time I've used them) When I punched the hole and cut the slit it hasn't turned out very neat after using it a few times. Is it because it was still damp from the wet moulding do you think? Would it be best to wait for it to dry completely before doing it in future?

Thanks for all the awesome feedback guys. All the best.

Like these alot

Yeah I like these a lot too. They sorta look like they're exhibits from a museum. "This is what a typcial highwayman would have worn on his belt." It has that aged quality about them already. Really like those rounded off edges.

Very nice work mate.

Great work there mate and now you need to make a belt for them .

I like the Celtic pyrography too and I've often wondered how it would work on leather Have you tried it?

It works great!
I have a knife sheath in 3mm veg tan (undyed) that Firecrest did for me - supurb!

John, that looks beautiful. Firecrest has got some cool ninja pyrography skills
I will have to give it a try sometime.

Thanks buddy, everything I make seems to have that "instant antique" look and feel to it. I guess it's because I love old things and it comes out of me creatively.

I've made plenty of belts. You can see them on my blog (linked in my signature.)
I've played around with pyrography a bit writing Christmas wishes inside some belts I made as presents.
