hollows-thats the way ive been doing it but i've got inconsistent results.

Joey- ill try that out,thanks!

^ I've been obsessed on finding a way to make a rounded rein without buying an antique rein maker

bummer - amazing stuff

Man I love this thread. I'm an apprentice to the internet, thanks to you guys. haha

Maybe you guys can give me some insight. I really want a slimmer key carry, since I loop this around my belt loops 75% of the time. I cant really take anything out. I keep 2 flash drives formatted for windows and another for windows/mac. I use them all the time, and my car alarm is pretty bulky. The rest is essential keys for my house and my sisters, so I can't really get rid of those either. Any ideas how to slim this bitch down?

i just made a latigo belt for two of my friends, and just realized that the buckle end was from the shoulders, and the end were bellies, explaining why it got soft. Is there a recommended part that belts are made of? I'm assuming the bends?

found a cheap alternative to the lacie key flash drives, it's solid and 16GB was around 10 bucks! It's pretty average speed but it's pretty sweet for what it is so far.

^ fancy knife.......what is that?

It's a bayha knife, I got because of a mini review hollows did on his tumblr, but more because of design and aesthetics than actual use though...I've been using a cheap boxcutter i got on sale from lowes instead lately

hai san,

The tablet case looks good! Nice design!

Thanks! The design isn't really original, i'm pretty sure someone in this thread or someone on etsy made one first

I made a case for my tablet and had a slot for a doane paper notebook. Stitching is off because I can't keep my hands straight to save my life but it's the best stitching I've done so far. Bigger whammy is that I seperated the pen and notebook with some stitching but it's too tight so no regular sized pens would fit

bought the book simontelder recommended, maybe i'll get the girlfriend to get me the japanese book for my birthday...

hey guys, coast is giving out a "free" (you pay 3.50 for shipping) Coast G10 flashlight for doing a survey

http://www.coastportland.com/surveyCC.php

A friend at work let me have his nano charger and two rechargeable AW's for free! Says he doesn't like dealing with charging t hem. He's a regional manager for a vendor that handles arcades and crane machines so he's constantly using his flashlight, bought 40 Tenergy disposables and carrys 4 with him at a time.

Also got myself a SAK super tinker, fell in love with the thing, definitely carrying in lieu of my spyderco now on as an edc blade.

you get that from goinggear.com? grabbed some 4sevens gear myself there last week - super keen for it to arrive

i got it from amazon 3 days before finding out about the sale. oh welll

and thanks f50 and branes, a lot of helpful info

AW rcr123a nano charger + AW rcr123a do it

got it, thanks. Is there a reason to get the AW oppose to, say, the charger + 6 x 750mah bundle for 24 bucks on amazon?

i remember reading around that boker's knives and the more meaty blades are very useful. Why is that?

finally got that mini 123, ridiculously bright! needa get a battery and charger

Here's my current rotation:

• Hollow’s Leather Snap Billfold w/ Aqua Stitching
  
• Rogue Territory Cherry Blossom Handkerchief
  
• Notebook with Self-made Leather Cover
  
• Pilot Hi Tec C (G Tec C4) Gel Pen
  
• Hard Graft iPhone Sleeve and iPhone 4
  
• Backup 1400 mah battery
  
• Square Reader
  
• Blissex Lip Balm
  
• Self-made Belt Snap Keyhook, McGizmo clip on car key and remote
  
• Corter for Japan Bracelet
  
• Nooka Watch
  
• Spyderco Sage 2 w/paracord Monkey Fist
  

Quark Mini 123 or Preon 2 next. Iffy about using CR123's. I want to swap out the Nooka with a Braun or Seiko watch someday.

didn't even know the spyderco sage 4 came out

Fuck, just when I thought three blades were enough..

looks great, corter! Love the key loop and the outside pocket

^ I agree, haven't seen it like that before.

I was looking for parking with my cousins and we couldn't tell if the curb was red no parking, so my cousin said he carries a flashlight. I was like damn, this high schooler more prepared than me! (still debating between a quark mini 123, AA, or a preon 2) He whipped out those fucking 9 led rubber flashlights you get from the microcenter checkout lines. smh, couldn't see shit.

Hey guys, I'm new to this. Started last month. I ordered stuff from Corter, Hollows, and Zissou for a while now and was so interested in the craft I made a sufu account and read this entire thread. Lots of creativity and help!

Here's three journals cover I've made. I really need to learn how to measure/cut better as well as burnish.

Three tries and I still keep making them too small to fit flushly

From newest to oldest.

My burnishing got a bit better since I've started. Even though I've made new ones, I find myself using my first one more. I think its because it's my first one and it's development character from the dye of my jeans. I used the cheap "manager special" leather from tandy's. Been mainly making keyhooks for friends but I really wanna make a midsize wallet in the future.
