I'm pleased with it.

My pop gave me this fluorescent light. It was my grandfather's work shop light.
Picked up a few dollar store bins to improve my "shop". (Blue bins).
Stitch practice....
Not to bad.

Aside from the autistic paint job with neetsfoot oil and edge paint that went in like a retarded monkey, I say it's not so bad. It adds character.
I will sell it for -5 dollars at this point. Lol.

Leather wax on 325 ink. Consider my products now? Fuck Ridge, over priced. Lol

An autist would have nailed that. It might have taken two days, but it would have been PERFECT.
looks like you're about to shoot up with that bro ;)
Simple card wallet. Or cash. I'll probably use it to separate my cash from main wallet. If some scallywag comes to jack me, I can chuck it this while I pull dat heat, my problem solva.
Hand cut, hand stitched, waxed natural full grain leather with waxed/burnished edges. Copper rivets cause why not.
Im still practicing on stitching machine @Dame and LK sent me, my stitching on that looks like a prom night dumpster baby abortion, this ain't so bad, needs work still.

Dicking around in shop
Scrap 3/4 oz natural veg tan leather, saddle stitch, hand dyed edges/burnished and oiled with neatsfoot oil/waxed and tan coated.
Just a sleeve for stitching forks.

Rolled edge.
So, I take tip of leather, skive (shave it down till it's foldable), glue and saddle stitch it.
A few wallets I want to do require skiving and rolled edges. So, I'll practice first.

Sabine wanted me to make a wallet for her husband, Gary.
She wanted her first initial and Gary's first, with a heart in the middle.
These 3 things were tooled into leather.
What is wrong here?
Fuck me, had to recut that piece, re dyed, wait to dry.

Simple key chain. 4/5 oz natural veg tan leather, fold over, hand cut, glued, hand saddle stitch (still trying to get good at sewing machine).
Hand dyed with oxblood red dye, edges were hand sanded, burnished, finished with wax and copper rivet.
Not too bad. I'll make more.

Both wife and kid are under the weather so I took the day off to take care of them, our dogs, and our granddaughter.
Had some time to myself so I took advantage of it to drill some holes, countersink said holes, deburred, and chamfered the exit holes for a cheek riser that was not staying put to my AK-V's folding beam section for the stock.
Afterwards the thought occurred to me to see about either making my own, or getting someone to make me a similar cheek riser but not from polymer and instead wood to get that old school blend feel to it.

Spitballing...you know those "Remove Before Flight" flags you see, something a lot of people now sport?
1. What's your price for those?
2. How many here want one?
3. Add a Shadowspear or some logo near the key ring end?
What's your cost and where do I send the money? I'll pay for the material and you pocket what's left OR designate a charity and I send them whatever split you request.
I'll pay market value and not flinch or whatever percentage you desire to the charity of your choice. We can negotiate, what do you want? I'll take delivery 3 months from now, don't care. I'm in.
I doubt I'm the only one.

I'm in. I'd drill a hole in chamber flags and would use it for this purpose.Spitballing...you know those "Remove Before Flight" flags you see, something a lot of people now sport?

^^ Like that.
My man...
@Muppet, basic Capitalism. I think you have a market. If I wait 6 months for mine so as to not stress you, I'm in. Make me 100 out of 100 a year from now, I'm still in. What can I do to help?
