Heavy duty tool pouch (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/leathercraft@lemmy.ca
 

Today I made a tool pouch thing out of really thick leather, far thicker than anything I've worked with so far (about 4mm). It was originally intended to hold my stitching chisels and was going to have two lines of vertical stitching to create 3 pockets but I really didn't take into account just how thick this stuff was and I didn't have nearly the right tolerances for it so I just didn't make the pockets.

This thing was tough. I had real issues in getting my chisels out after making the holes (especially on the triple thick section - even with just a 2-prong) and this has been the first project to draw blood - one of the first sets of holes I made with my 10-prong and as it released it flew back and scratched my hand.
