Hey Guys,
Here is a watch strap I made for a friend. It’s made from the same hide that a friend gave me from his gator kill back in the summer. This one turned out great and my friend is very pleased with the end result, which is all I could ask for! The only thing that was tough/hard with this build was the thread – it’s not the usual diameter that I use, so I had to double it so the stitching would look right. Hand stitching with 2 times the usual amount of thread was a pain!

Just found a shit ton of vintage NOS talon and lightning zippers for Scroogen.

If photos are acceptable, I can get that done with the next piece I'll be finishing in a week or two, I lack video capabilities unfortunately.
I've been working/writing on this piece of paper off and on for three years, lots of memories attached to it. Nice to see it completed, finally. Thanks for the interest my fellow Craftsman! That natural belt you made nate looks indestructible

a few weeks ago a forum member, mr. chuckdenim, asked me to make him a jacket of a sweet (think 14-15oz) japanese selvage denim that he get from a local jeans maker.
well, I can't say no because I like the challenge…will my old single needle machine do it?
design should be something like a type III.
freehand sketch of the design:
worked out a rough cut with the thought that length should be a bit longer than a normal type III.so I began working on the front part, the face of the jacket…
building the selvage inside chest pockets:
having so much fun on this project, I did a little personalization on the inside of the chest pockets…
thanks for looking and stay tuned..

prepared pocket flaps to be attached…
done.
button-facing not ready yet, but sweet clean look inside…
a piece of lost selvage floating around, needs to be sewn at the placket…
next step: the back of the jacket…
I may make another; if I do I'll stick it in the FS thread.
