Envelope tote/backpack hybrid

Date 3 days ago

Some months back I bought a large piece of black chrome tanned leather without really knowing what I was going to make out of it. I usually haven’t been using chrome because of it being much weaker than proper vegetable tanned leather is, and the edge finishing is a pain….

Workshop v3.5

Date 3 weeks ago

I wasn’t planning to redo the workshop after only 8 months, but I found a sewing machine that was incredible and I couldn’t pass on that. On top of the sewing machine, I also got a leather skiver. So now I suddenly had two rather large machines that required more…

Top hat in red leather

Date 2 months ago

Yet another birthday present, this time for my big brother. He has a round birthday and I had to come up with something to give to a man that doesn’t need anything. But does he really have everything? No. He doesn’t have a red top hat! He is playing the…

Tour of the Church’s factory in Northampton

Date 2 months ago

Earlier, my wife surprised me for my birthday. She had gotten me a day’s one-to-one course with Nigel Armitage himself (armitageleather.com), but unfortunately he wasn’t available during our summer vacation to the UK. That will have to wait until our next trip over to UK from Denmark. After that she…

80th year birthday belt

Date 2 months ago

I had already decided that I’m done with belts for a while, but when I was trying to decide what to give to my father-in-law for his birthday I changed my mind. You can’t go wrong with a belt as a gift. I chose to make a rather simple design…

Small Rainbow Belt

Date 3 months ago

When I made my Skull Belt, my daughter asked if I’m going to make her a belt as well. I of course answered that she will get her own belt. And promptly forgot about that. As kids have an amazing memory, when they so choose, she has been reminding me…

Leather flower for Mother’s Day

Date 4 months ago

Already for couple of years I’ve been making different kinds of Mother’s Day flowers for my wife: anything from 3D printed ones roses, to laser cut wooden flowers that our kids coloured themselves. This year it was leather flowers’ turn. It’s a very simple construction with a combination of chrome…

Stitch flattening tool

Date 5 months ago

I realised that I didn’t have a tool for flattening stitches when I have tooled or creased the leather tight next to them. Usually I just use my small polished hammer but I didn’t dare to do this with my skull belt. I asked for advice in Reddit, and one…

Skull Belt

Date 6 months ago

I got some awesome brass stamps few months back, but I never had a chance to test them out. As I needed to have a new belt, I decided that now was as good time as any to try them. May I present to you: my first stamped leather project,…

Late Christmas gift for my mom – Small leather satchel

Date 7 months ago

The Christmas time is always crazy in my family. Both of my kids have their birthdays, and of course the whole holiday season doesn’t make it any less busy. I was planning to finish this satchel already for Christmas, but I simply didn’t have time for that. Now after my…
