My leatherwork is improving

[jackcbr]

Now I'm no maker, and never will be, but I enjoy making things and am really getting into leatherwork.

i promised my brother-in-law that I would make him a sheath for the Leatherman we got him for Christmas (yes, I am aware of the date, but we are just closer to last Christmas than we are the next). Anyway, I've spent today working on it and am quite chuffed with how it turned out.

really thought this one through, rather than design it on the fly, like I do with my sheaths. Made a card board template, grooved out for the stitches and everything.

Anyway, thought I'd share with people who understand the satisfaction and joy of applied skills.

Thanks for looking

Lol. But feeling a bit more confident in maybe doing something similar for the Christmas box on here this year.

Thanks for all the comments.

How very dare you. No southeast Asian children were exploited in making this. But I do have very small hands, so can see why you would say that

Sorry Jack, I'm on too many Forums Gucci = smart bit of kit, as in " That's a Gucci knife/axe " or "That Rev's a bit Gucci "

Good work there Jack. Bet your brother in law will be pleased with that.

 

[jackcbr]

He was. Dropped it round tonight, but gutted I can't find my makers stamp. Finally done something worth putting my mark on and I can't find the blooming thing.

 

[spandit]

I'm sure whoever made the stamp would find it no hassle in getting you another one

What are the stamps made out of bud ????

 

[jackcbr]

Some sort of metal alloy. They are really good. Also thinking of getting a hot brand made up so I can stamp wood too.
