finished up the second half of a folded bifold order today, lots of cutting since I've yet to get a clicker die made up. pretty happy with all of them though, nice and straight/even

Working on a new card wallet design too, gotta pick snaps out

I love how everything is done assembly line style Corter.!

[corter]

Thank you! Finished up the card wallets for the order yesterday

And packed up stuff for shipping today. Not a bad week's work

[raWorkshop]

Card wallets and money clips with with keyrings were some of the most requested things at the street market I sold at. Ladies love them.

I came across this website the other day. Corter, what do you think of this passport wallet design?

haha, that's my design right there give or take. looks like they released it February 1st, I've had it designed for a few months now with photos online. Should have at least wrapped the inside pocket around back for the ticket slot. Mine will out price theirs by over $40, no biggie.

Love that inlaid coin, it looks super sharp. well done.

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

[corter]

did this one for a friend today. I have a meeting tomorrow to finally get snaps made, so I'm really happy to be able to design things with snaps- never been a real big fan of plain line 24's. Also plan on keeping the key loop for the next collection I design, really like how it can be used for key rings or attaching chains. Kind of appeals to many different types.

Kuroba, so nice - can't wait to see more.

Key loops are a nice feature. I've been playing around with them myself and dig the feature.

[hai-san]

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

[zissou]

Looks like I found a saddlery shop that will rent time on their clicker press! Now, I just need to have dies made...

Made this long wallet for a buddy of mine that does silver work. He wanted a lot of card slots, but other than that was good with what I did for design. He made the conchos, his chain. Took the photo after he used the wallet for a few days.

Kinda the same old mid-length, but I really liked this color combo:

My version of a postal bag, all done. One piece body while keeping the traditional riveted gussets, then the flap is stitched and riveted because that's a very structural part of the bag. I added a handle for briefcase type carrying, all that's left is to make the shoulder strap.

Thanks. The inlaid concho design is definitely not my original design though. I remember seeing it done before, although I can't recall where and by who.

That accent and decorative stitching is brilliant. I will be filing that under my collection of inspirtational pieces. Been quite a while since I had a new addition. Well done

Thanks! It's W&C veg, hand dyed.

[TheBlackGoat]

Thanks lazy! Its you that inspired me to try out some decorative stitching.

[lazybum]

^Exactly whats awesome about the internet. Such a great platform for ideas to bounce, mate and morph.

[froople]

^ Assuming you live in Singapore (me too), since in your shop that it says free shipping there. Real nice and can't complain about free shipping. Will def look into buying a few pieces!

also, will the leather 'age' so to speak?

glass door shattered when i pushed it closed, deep puncture in the webbing between my thumb and pointer finger. out for a week, which suuucccks

[raWorkshop]

Rough. My shoulders are still giving me hell, been reading up on ergonomics and I think I need to drop my work bench about 4 inches. The downtime was well timed for a move, got a new house/workspace and have rehabilitated some non-shoulder destroying machinery. Back to jeans!

Shoulders are my weak spot lately too, something about pulling those needles through hundreds of times every day.

Sorry to hear about the hand, Eric. At least it's only a week! Call it a vacation, I'm sure you need one.
