hello,
here are the first 5 things i have made.
the first 2 were made on an introduction to leather working course. firstly a pouch with a bit of a gusset. this is on my desk at work and holds mints.
2nd, a wallet i still use until i make something else with a money clip inside.
there was a couple of months gap until i got some tools and scrap bits of leather.
3rd. a train pass holder. happy with it, although the window vinyl was too thin at .25mm and also doesnt like contact adhesive. have since bought some vinyl at .5mm thick and some permanent double sided tape, to make an improved version
4th this was taken from philips video on a card wallet, although this has card slots on both sides. like the blue suede interior, although would be better with thinner leather. will make another one when i get some thinner leather.
5th, a coin holder quite happy, although will make some improvements. so happy to get the gussets stuck in first time with contact adhesive, didnt realise that one is suede side up, the other side is suede side down, also the gussets open to 60 degrees, i think this is too much, so maybe alter the design to be 40 degrees
. looking at photos, one side has a bit of a point. anyway, will probably make another.
i seem to be getting lots of marks on the leather, not sure if it is my nails? will have to look at that.
hopefully this weekend will look at a notebook cover, when i get it designed, or a wallet.
hope the links below work
paul

Great work Paul! Thank you for sharing some of your projects with us.
If it's easier for you, you can upload images directly to your post through the camera icon at the bottom 👍
Cheers!
Nicely done, Paul! These look a lot better than my first projects -- no contest. Thanks for sharing these images.
thanks, will do a few tweaks to it, especially with the opening of the gusset, and post up again. will spend a bit more time with the sanding blocks on it to try and get it rounder too. got a few things in the pipeline. just need to get the designs done and mocked up at work when i get time before committing to leather.
Your works are looking really nice Paul! I like the coin pouch 👍 great job!
