Go get some work done at Castro Motorsport! then he can put your money in his new wallet ;D

Chris picked up a black wallet with red contrast stitching and billfold detail:





He also snagged a 16oz belt in a dark chocolate brown with a nickel plated solid brass buckle and double copper rivets. For anyone wondering; 16oz is nearly 6mm thick!

Two tone green with black rub layering, finished in silver bonded T69




1mm Tiger thread using an over locking knot:

Red chromexcel with natural card slots.

Thought I would share a few of my favorites I made this month:

brandon I have another custom project in mind, I will get with you sometime this weekend to discuss it. kinda simple but it needs a few particular features that are going to make it a little more complex than just plain a plain ol pouch

[F34R]

Oh yeah...sexy time lol If someone told me last year I would be making wristlets...I would have laughed at them.

Wristlet that is a red outer shell with a black suede liner, 6 suede card slots and a brass zipper. Little details of a leaf punch out and a hammer zipper pull.
Stitching is hidden in a traditional internal style.




My GF wanted to get a wallet that doubled as a phone case, this is what I came up with:
Oil-tanned leather with a single card slot(holds many cards) and a metal button clasp.




I was approached by The_Fabricator on Instagram for a custom wallet that ALSO held a FN booklet. It features 6 cards, a 5" hidden back pocket and a hidden billfold behind the notebook.

If none of you are familiar with his TIG work, you should check him on out there! Best TIG welder I have ever seen, works on exotics all day.

Made a new wallet design today, it is for the select few that carry wallets in the front pockets. It keeps the wallet from tipping.



Got a request for matching door pulls for an e30, the leather comes from an e24 outfitted with cardinal red leather. Flipped the leather to show the suede side and flared some copper tubing for grommets. Double passes on each pull, I counted 560 stitches for this set.

Hey, just an idea, it'd be cool to look into making leather pull straps doors, either for race cars or a custom alternative to stock. Also, I would buy some leather "oh shit handles" if you ever made them.

I'll wrap door pulls if someone really wants set(passenger and both rears?)

I also make door pulls:

Looks outstanding, I got your other shots, I was just out of cell range till well after midnight Eastern, before I got them looking forward to seeing them in person.........

Here is a picture I forgot, it shows the pinned butt of the handle.


New Lanyards:

It is a few weeks shy of a solid 8 months of use, there is the proof! thanks for the update!

[F34R]

Here is your large sheath, Mr Sleeve:

Thick body to hold the blade away from the stitching, then I lined the upper with pig skin and hand stitched the whole thing in a circle and fastened together with two copper rivets. Built to stand the test of time, and thanks for the awesome progression shots!

I put the snap and blade facing for right hand use(can be used left handed well too if brought up in a upward facing blade draw).

[mrsleeve]

Brandon you do some great work yeah looks great and the pin location and size looks bad ass too. Thanks


Belt pouch you made me what 8 months ago. After seeing use EVERYDAY most of which is heavy construction related and a little back country camping as of late.

Where do I start...I picked a few of my favorite items made since my last update:

Since summer is right around the corner I thought to make myself some Roman style sandals, granted I am sure to see some mocking from these...don't care ;D


I love flip flops, but they are pretty much only good for walking. I added an ankle strap to keep the back solid to my foot. They are amazing.


Rubber soles to keep the leather dry and free of mud and such.


35mm film case for a forum member.






Case on the right is 20+ years old, owner has had it on his hip doing firefighting work for that many years, I was honored to do him a service.


Case for forum member Oliver.


Oil tanned handle that is saddle/overlap stitched.


New 15oz leather from Wickett and Craig!


It is 6mm thick ;D


Registration card:




Knife sheath for Mr. Sleeve's Wife


I still have to pin the handle, the person that made it did not know how? not sure.


Here is the side shot of the sheath, it is 2 layers of 10oz and 2 layers of 4.5oz, it is designed that way to keep the blade from cutting the stitching and a nice firm hold on the blade.
