Handmade leather pipe pouch, the early years

[Cardinal]

Every time I look at these I like them more and more, you're making me really want to get or make a cover for the moleskin notebook I use at work. I've got a vision for it, it's the extra large, I'm thinking slots for the front and back cover, a pen loop, a business card pocket and some form of closure. I didn't consider I might be compelled to try a new hobby when I just started into cigars! Damn bums are bad influences all around!

Haha, GOOD influences! Think of all the useful things you could make!

You really could do that cover. The stuff I've done is probably a little rough to use at the office, but smaller, tighter holes and smaller thread would be doable.

WoW! What a project and a great job at it, that's for sure. I'm impressed!

Now.....if I can just keep my mind from wanting to try my hand at leather crafting...to add to my 654 other hobbies.

I want in line to buy one of those whenever you say the word! I've been wanting a leather pouch for my baccy and pipe for quiet some time, but everything looks too cheap or is not me "style" (I'm country) yet has a crazy price tag (being that I don't like what's available to begin with). But, this...is perfect!

Good job Tim!

Thanks a lot! These are really simply but they do look good, and if they soften up with use I'll be pretty happy with them. And if I ever get to the point where I'm confident enough with my work to sell anything I'll put it up here on the Bum first!
