I picked up a couple of offcuts from Giles's scraps bin last week and made this iPhone case. Incorporating 25oz denim, old Wabash and herringbone.

Simon,

Very nice Simon.

[Simon]

Thanks everyone  I may make another; if I do I'll stick it in the FS thread.
I think I may go with a couple of snaps next time as the button has already caused me to miss a call.

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!

Hey Guys,

Here is my latest Field Notes cover.  This one is constructed with dyed 4-5 oz. veg tan leather with 4-5 oz. veg tan horse hide pockets.  The black stitching is hard to see, but it creates a subtle look that’s very “Darth”!

[Moonshine]

Made this one for my IH-homie, natehate.  Nothing fancy, just raw veg tan leather, brass buckle and Chicago screws, but that’s a good thing!

[Seul]

Yeah: that's a beaut, moonshine!..

[natehate]

I posted pics of the interior layers a few weeks ago:

Just finished the exterior layers last night.  This is now complete.  Colored pencil, oil pastel on paper:

[Moonshine]

Damn, Adam!  You need to post a video to show us all how you do that!  Outstanding craftsmanship!

[Guest]

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
