  1. What started as me polishing a pair of the boots I wear nine months of the year turned into a two afternoon project of bilateral heel repair. (My heels wear oddly as my legs are slightly different lengths.) What a pain in the tuckus. Appreciate your cobblers, folx. Shoes are awkward and difficult to work on. #shoes #LeatherCraft #cobbler #repair

  6. There's an arts fair I want to participate in but they need a photograph of me making my goods. I understand why they need this given there are so many people fronting as artisans for products made in China and elsewhere but I also value my privacy. Now I need to have someone take a picture of me, working in my studio, that shows enough of me for confirmation but not enough to make me uncomfortable. I'm not looking forward to this. #artisan #LeatherCraft #festival

  11. Slow day at the fair today due to light drizzle but we're still here. Moved stock toward the center of the canopy so it won't get damaged. It's a little crowded but not as crowded as it would be if we'd not sold a few big bags yesterday.
    There's a petting zoo across from us so at least there is free entertainment. #TownsendFair #LeatherCraft

  16. I like earning food but I think the highlight of my day was a seven year old who asked me what I was doing at my bench and I showed him how one tiny tool, stamped precisely next to another, over and over, make it look like the leather is woven. I showed him a finished bag with the design. He said, "Whoa." #MentorTheNextGeneration #arts #LeatherCraft #TeachTheChildren

  21. What. A. Day.
    I get to eat next month!
    It was a great audience for our leatherwork. Sometimes folks like our work but it's out of their price range, which I totally understand. Today people loved our work and didn't blink an eye at paying for the materials and hours of labour. We're so grateful! #fair #craftsmanship #LeatherCraft #gratitude

  26. One of my current projects is a holster for a 1911. I like this design because it can be used as a regular OWB or can be connected to a harness (which I am also making) to convert it to a shoulder holster.

  30. I just cut a leather template from an acrylic sheet so I can use it offline, but I think I prefer to cut the leather directly with the laser cutter.
    Meanwhile, the printer is pumping out Dumpling Clickers.

  35. Still waiting for the Glock holster and Hellcat magazine pouch to dry so I started working on the shoulder harness to go with my friend's 1911 holster. I rather like the setup of the set because the holster can be used horizontally on the shoulder harness or vertically on a belt.

    Did I mention I'm scanning my patterns and using the laser cutter to produce the pieces? I need to adjust some settings but I am pleased so far.

  39. Laserpolton testausta nahalle. Tekisi kovasti mieli investoida omaan laseriin - vielä pitäisi löytää siihen järkiperuste. Kiitos @tampere laseroinnin mahdollistamisesta.

  44. I stitched up an IWB (In waist band) holster that is molding to a Glock G17 model. I also got progress on a friend's 1911 holster. Not too bad for an afternoon.

  49. Making a prototype pancake dual magazine pouch. With how I designed it, it should be ambidextrous. This one is sized for my Springfield Hellcat, but I think I can size it up slightly and make it universal.

    The pieces were laser cut from 6oz veg tan leather.

  53. CW: Today... 2026 September 6 ... Was that progress?

    I don't know. Maybe a little. I did some stuff. I don't really feel that it accomplished much. Sister was here yesterday, and that didn't really help. I was so close to making real progress, but well it didn't really end up happening because she was here, and it was exhausting, and I couldn't really accomplish much of anything while she was here.

    It also left new stuff that was kind of in the way. I sort of got some stuff done, then it seems, I failed to make real progress. I'll get there. I guess...

    I got some
    #leathercraft done, not much but after having finished the previous bit, it was a big struggle starting the new bit.

    I realised that I did it wrong. It made things more difficult. Instead of using the one thread for one part, then the other for the other part, I used both for the first part. So I'm having to do the same for the second.

    Caught pretty much all of
    #Monsterdon tonight, and it was... well enjoyable enough. Maybe this week will be better? Not counting on it.

    A few days ago tried to play a Cuban CD (from Cuba), and it wasn't really playing (well it was very much not playing...) so pulled it and have been trying to rip it. Well it's been over 72 hour, and probably about 1/2 through. It's very slow, but the resultant file are working, so that's good...

    I think I'll head to bed...

    I am trying to convert egg shells into "egg shell citrate..." It's a right mess. But it is a mess because it's very actively doing it, which is bubbling up and going all over the place.

    Anyway, I'm going to head to bed.

    Thank you everyone. Take care.
