Switching tracks, from wood to leather.

Posted on by

So as some of you may know, I have moved down to Utah for a year and a half for a mission trip. I had planned to put the business on hold until I got back, but man, I failed at that. One of my problems is that I love making things, however I couldn’t bring my shop with me, or really any more than a few basic tools. So I moved into a new medium that needs a lot less (and smaller) tools: 

Leather! 

 

And since have gotten into making game pouches using leather burning.

 

 

 

 

 

Of course I’ve had a go at other things as well, such as this belt pouch.

 

The other thing I’ve been doing a lot more of is web related stuff.

So check out NoveltyTradesUSA to see everything I’ve got down here!

Making The Improved Bushcraft Possibles Belt Pouch.

Posted on by

In this post I will be going over how I made this bushcraft possibles belt pouch.

For this belt pouch I used 100% reclaimed leather.

The first step, as with everything, is to make a pattern.

Next is to cut it out in leather and punch the holes.

 

Then I sewed on the belt loops and finished the edges.

 

 

 

Next I sewed the gusset together.

 

 

 

 

 

For all of the sewing on this I used a strong wool blend yarn.

 

 

Last thing to do was to carve the closure.

So that’s that, but before we go here’s a few nice pics of the finished pouch.

 

 

Cheers 🙂

Making the mini belt pouch.

Posted on by

So I forgot to take any pictures of cutting it out or punching the holes, but there’s not much to see with that anyways.

My first step was to sew the belt loop on.

I started out with a bit of waxed thread, but I decided that it looked a bit thin for the hole size, so I went with a wool blend yarn.

Of course, not being one to take the easy path,  I decided to embroider a tree on the front.

(I swear, this thing took me week embroider)

With that over, my next step was to sew the wool on to the flap.

Next was to sew the front and back together.

 

And finally, I flipped it right-side out.

And there we go, a mini belt pouch.

At 3 1/4″ x 2″ when closed, you can’t put a lot of stuff in it, but I wanted to try a bunch of things before making bigger belt pouches.

 

Cheers 🙂

A leather checkers pouch!

Ok, so  for the second leather game pouch I went for a game everyone knows: Checkers!

For this one I chose black and frosted stones.

And of course, the best part is that it’s a little self contained pouch!

My first video!

My first maker video!

And I have to say that I’m pretty proud of it, not because it’s amazingly good or anything (it’s ok), but  because it was rather difficult for me to make.

So here’s a quick video of me making a leather pouch for a camp cook knife 🙂
