Leathercrafting Creations: PYC

[Marshall Deming]

I'll post again when I finish the pockets. For now I'm taking a couple days off to let my fingers heal. I am very happy with the fit but It was close and looking back on the job it was pretty risky. If I were to do it again there would be a couple spots where I would leave more of an allowance. specifically around the neck and hood. I put the slit in the wrong side of the sleeve but then I swapped the sleeves to correct the issue. It is very warm.

fitpics?

looks pretty good from 1st view...

good work there!

[Happy Hooligan]

Great belt. What kind of leather did you use?

[mr fluffernutter]

looks like somethings missing........

[JoeySullivan]

-Veg tan leather

-Deadstock rivet

Love the way some part shine while other are stainted

haha word, something is definitely missing from that belt picture

[f50fan]

haha the tongue thing slipped into the other side and out of view.

and its just a crappy tandy veg tanned strip.

Made a new version of the card case. I can't decide if I want to use it, though, because my first one aged so nicely:rolleyes:

[redX]

first design is a lot nicer imo

[f50fan]

i'd be afraid of accidentally bending that offhanging point a lot in my pocket.

but it is a very nice design.

although i'd probably take the original for its simplicity.

[Mr Black]

Can any of you suggest a good book that would teach me the very basics of leathercrafting. All these simple cardholders etc have really inspired me to give it a go. I've made some belts which are remarkably simple to do but fancy trying my hand at something that involves stitching.

Also want to try to plait a reign so if anyone can advise how that's done?

Thanks in advance.

^ get the art of hand sewing leather by al stohlman

also check out the free instructional videos on tandy

[nixon]

What all does the Al Stohlman book teach? I really don't see the point of buying a book for something as simple as stitching. I've always just used a saddle stitch.

I've never made a reign but I imagine you could just google lanyard (those plastic Napoleon Dynamite style ones ) weaving/braiding patterns and find something that would work.

Just made this for my lady, who is leaving the country for a long, long time today

I just ordered the Corter premium natural belt. I am very much looking forward to seeing it in person. I wandered all over Toronto the other day looking for an natural leather belt but I couln't find one anywhere.

I did the exact same just about a week ago, excited for it to come in as well. Only place in Toronto that carries a natural leather belt would have to be uncle otis with their tanner belts. And I appreciate the penfield offer superbev, not what I was looking for though

I am also very excited. No worries with the Penfield... just don't pay 290 if you get it. Remind the store (I am guessing Over The Rainbow or Decibel) that everywhere else has then 50% off. I tried out the Tanner belts at Uncle Otis and while nice they only had small sizes and I am not a small guy. Love that Corter does them custom sized to you.

[superbeveridge]

Just got my shipping confirmation from Corter. Wicked turnaround time!

I thought it was an old flightmaster too, but the case looks much too tall...
