WrightJnr Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Love it. Things that are made are SO much better than things bought. Well done!!
Barry Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Very CoolNow you need to tool a nice Colnago Clover Leaf
coppi Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Great stuff...........handmade stuff with love and care is best
Hairy Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Time to do the closure flap. Measure, cut, rivet the brass press studs in place. That's a beautiful hammer, DJRLovely work, and I agree with CPT, that hammer is a real looker!
matthieup Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Lovely. Every brook saddle owner dream I'm sure... Requires vey special leather work skills though. I've got a lot of leather of cut from a couch recovering that I would love having the skills to turn into a pouch, bag, laptop bag... You just made me want to Google that

Hairy Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 DJR ... where can one find a comb punch? I have previously used a nail to punch holes on a marked out bit of leather to create a cell phone cover. Cell phones have become alot bigger, so now it serves as a pen holder, yet still retains the cell's shape. Leather is a fabulous material.

Woodheads, the oldest business in Cape Town and a real old world institution. For anything you could ever need for leather work. They should have what you need. For a smallish job you need a finer rather than a course punch. If Woodheads don't have exactly what you need, then see below: http://www.woodheads.co.za/contact The ones I use were made by a guy from the Cape Knifemakes Guild. They are far superior to anything I ever saw in a shop, but I don't know his name. He sells them at their annual show. Perhaps contact them and they can tell you who he is. They are a close knit lot who know each other. Their next show is in November. See link below. http://capeknifemakersguild.com/?page_id=2 For thin soft leather a good awl with a flat blade works very well. It just takes longer to measure and make the holes carefully and even. For thick leather a punch is the only way.

Barry Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 For when things get really out of hand? Guess that's one tool pouch that won't be in your hand luggage flying up for 947 best you put the co2 back and just tell security you have bombs in your bag
