leather belt loop key fob thingys

i made these for all my little brothers and a couple of my cousins for x-mas presents. each one is unique. all are hand sewn 2 layers of leather, hand tooled designs. some of the hand tooling was done with tools i custom made for the effect i was looking for. hardware is either solid brass (polished and aged), nickle plated, or randomly stolen from bags of my past. some snap open, others are permanently riveted closed

leather card holder wallets

i made these card holders for x-ms gifts. basically the same with some variation. each one has 2 card pockets on one side, and 1 card pocket on the other. there is also a "secret" pocket in the middle. hand tooled, and hand sewn.

pigment protector V-2.0

this is the second prototype pigment protector i made for a tattoo artist/ friend of mine. i think it came out great! it is much simpler than the first version. solid brass hardware and rivets. hand tooled logo at bottom. machine sewn border and burnished edges.

leather keychain

san jose pentagram for a friend. two layers of leather, hand sewn,simple tooled design

sportster points cover

made a points cover out of some copper sheet laying around at work. cut it to size, beat it with a ball peen hammer on the backside. flipped it over, pressed it flat. then i put it in a bowl of vinegar and salt for a few minutes. pulled it out, let it dry, then buffed out the high spots. repeat like 3 more times, drill holes for mounting- done. i think it looks good, too bad there are no actual points in there.

pigment protector prototype v1.0





heres some pics of the pigment protector prototype(fancy one leg apron) i am working on for my friends over at analog tattoo. this will help keep some of the ink off their legs while they tattoo siick tattoos. one of a kind. you will not see another one like it. hand tooled logo, hand sewn everything, brass hardware with aged patina, and adjustable straps that hook onto the belt loops or belt of your choice. many hours were put into this and im glad that these guys appreciate my work. v2.0 coming up later

leather belt loop key fob thingys









i made some of these thingys to put on your belt to clip your keys to. a couple are basic, one sided, no sewing. a couple have liners hand sewed inside them made of recycled leather jacket material. the other two are lined with the same leather used to make the outside and hand sewn inside. the ones with liners are more durable than the unsewn ones.

billfold wallet





i made this billfold wallet for one of my little brothers. he's gonna get it for x-mas. he wanted it black and he wanted the SF Giants logo. 2 pockets on right, id pocket on left. hand sewn. one of a kind

guitar strap

guitar strap for my daughters flea market guitar. my wife brought home the patterned fabric that i sewed to a canvas strap. then i made some ends for it and sewed them on. simple.
