      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.

                  Great work, Seawolf!  With the stitching and the rivets that thing is bullet-proof!
