I hope you guys don't mind me sharing all the videos, but I find them very inspiring. Here's another one:

I was also hugely impressed by The Putter and ordered kitchen scissors and nail scissors, and quite happy to wait as long as it takes I think that the internet has provided a (necessary) place for craftsmen to allow their continued existence, and hopefully inspire a new generation…

Well damn, just on the basis of that email, I'm going to order a pair or two.

[Giles]

Get them shipped to me Chris….

My wife's Moonshine purse/satchel after 6 months of hard use.

(unlike most postimage images, you can click through this image to get to the whole album)

When we got it we treated it liberally with Obenaufs Oil (not LP). Since then it's been carried daily.

My wife says she gets compliments on it at least once a week. I witnessed one of these last week and my wife still got a bit giddy about it - talking about the veg-tan leather and explaining wabi-sabi. It was kinda adorable.

Thanks again Bryan!

(BTW - she's been making noise about wanting a similar item but as a backpack. Stay tuned.)

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to post my 1st traditional archery quiver which turned out to be a fun project.  Nothing fantastic, just 3 pieces of leather held together by copper rivets and lace with a nice Coyote fur trim on the top!  The body of the quiver is made up of 9-10 oz. cow and the strap is horse hide, so it should withstand a bomb blast with little to no damage!  The pics came after a healthy dose of Neat’s Foot Oil and the natural leather should patina fantastically with use over time.  I just wish I would have had some cedar arrows for the photos!  Thanks for looking!

Hey Guys,

Haven’t posted in a while but I’ve been busy!  Shown are 2 of 3 custom sheaths I built for the custom deer antler-handled knives pictured.  The 1st sheath had already been handed over to the knife owner for review and acceptance to build the other 2 before I could get pics of all 3 together.  I used 9oz. natural leather, natural waxed thread, brass snaps and copper rivets; nothing extravagant, just 3 overbuilt sheaths that should last forever!

Here’s a custom Croc tail/Horsehide sheath I built for my Homie Matt in CO.  It will house his new Mayo folder and I hope he likes it!  And yes, that thick welt was a bitch to sew through!

Made some new cardcases, would love some feedback! Thinking of doing a couple bifolds with one of the designs.
