        Thank you, sir.  I used #14 as a bell.  The porcelain makes a lovely sound.  I attached a wire to a piece of felt-covered cardboard and hung it upside down.  You could strike it with your finger, but I used a felt mallet/drumstick.  You could also sit it on a coaster and put a candle in the middle.  The porcelain is translucent so the flame should create some interesting lighting effects.

            corporalclegg asked for a status update on this.  Stitching seems to be holding up great.  It was really easy to burnish the edge.  You can see a little of the original color around the stitching.  It's really hard to lose a lighter with this case on it.  Also people don't 'accidentally' take your lighter.  I bet this thing has saved me ten or twenty bucks by now

                            Nice. I've got a couple dog collars I need to make. This shit is so easy and cheap. You can make gifts for everyone.

                                    Thanks! Really, really appreciate that 🙂 In another world/life/something, I would love to be a craftsman, but as things are, I'll just have to stick with being a happy hobbyist!

                                    Seize the day and don't you cry.

                                        Hey Guys,
                                          I made few business card cases recently and I wanted to post them.  They hold up to 35 business cards and are held together with 4 rivets.  The 1st was a prototype made from some cool “quilted” leather I have and the last 2 are the “Natehate Silver/Gold Pack”.  I made these for him and his boss, with the idea that he gets the silver and his boss gets the gold!  Anyway, here they are…

                                          The first one took me a couple of weeks, finding out stuff, learning how to sew basically. I made a smaller handbag for my gf, that took me about a weekend. The last one took me about 2x4 hours of work.

                                          I just ordered some 21oz black canvas, planning to do a duffel for my gf and another briefcase for myself, all black everything with black leather and thread too. Stealth bags 🙂

                                          Like the card holders Moonshine! Prefer the veg-tanned ones myself. Nice work!

                                          Seize the day and don't you cry.

                                            I've been busy with leather too!

                                            Here's a dog collar I just finished today. All hand stitched.
