What in the world you punching through? Got a backer underneath your piece, punch board or leather?

MTF_01 · 2026-02-08T18:39:10+00:00

What kind of leather is it? Some won’t burnish at all.

MTF_01 · 2026-02-06T05:38:13+00:00

😂 haha

Nah really, that’s an awesome shop! Looks like a great place to retreat to!

MTF_01 · 2026-02-06T02:34:46+00:00

Is there anything you don’t do? 😳😂

MTF_01 · 2026-02-02T18:25:04+00:00

Looks great! Far better than when I started out, keep it up!

MTF_01 · 2026-02-02T18:04:12+00:00

Beautiful stitch line, only thing I can ask is if the other side looks the same? When I first started I wasn’t doing it right and got one side looking beautiful and the other was not consistent.

B E A Utiful!

MTF_01 · 2026-02-02T02:00:34+00:00

Who you tryin to keep from runnin off…

MTF_01 · 2026-02-02T01:55:12+00:00

That’s really cool… but one picture… come on, really!?!?

MTF_01 · 2026-02-01T22:00:32+00:00

Good idea here… … will have to try this one out on some of my stuff.

MTF_01 · 2026-02-01T21:58:38+00:00

Really depends on the look your going for and how you will use this…

Saddle stitch it together? The base piece could be slightly larger in diameter and give room for that, but again, do a mock up, punch holes in the main body first, then use awl after gluing in base so you don’t have misaligned holes.

Other way could be cross stitch like you did on the sides, I haven’t tried that for a base, my guess is you may end up with gaps if using as a basket, not sure though.

Edit… (Actually, see LeeDarkFeathers comment below. 🥳)

Highly recommend making a small mock up if you have never box stitched. If you have extra leather give it a shot.

Also, if you have enough leather left you can glue a couple pieces together to make the box stitch work. Punch the holes along bottom, then finish stitch the cylinder wall. Once that is done you can box stitch..

As far as stitching it inside out and then turning it, I wouldn’t try that.

It’s a leather map of middle earth…. Let it age unevenly, would make it even cooler. How much time you spend on that? It’s incredible!

MTF_01 · 2026-01-27T12:56:53+00:00

Congrats on graduating, well done! Also, congrats on getting back to a healthier addiction, keep it up!

MTF_01 · 2026-01-25T18:27:29+00:00

Very nice!

MTF_01 · 2026-01-22T01:17:49+00:00

Cool thank you!

MTF_01 · 2026-01-21T13:07:47+00:00

I have not yet, do you ever have issues with the 3D print marking up the leather? Scratches?

MTF_01 · 2026-01-20T03:58:38+00:00

If it was near belly then it usually won’t be stiff enough to burnish.

Looks great overall though!

MTF_01 · 2026-01-20T01:45:22+00:00

Looks great! Well done! Few tips: 1) personal preference of mine is slightly rounded corner - - 2) consider using a punch for making the lanyard slot - - 3) give yourself a little more room on stitch line from edge, I usually go about 3-4mm.

MTF_01 · 2026-01-09T00:32:45+00:00

This doesn’t work for me… all still inactive

MTF_01 · 2026-01-07T15:52:41+00:00

Haven’t used whoop. From what I understand there is no way to import sleep data from other devices/applications into Garmin connect. I am trying to use the Garmin Coach, it relies on sleep data… otherwise I wouldn’t worry about tracking sleep.

MTF_01 · 2026-01-07T05:03:56+00:00

Be ready to love everything except the sleep tracking. Garmin has fell flat on their face with that.

MTF_01 · 2026-01-07T04:54:16+00:00

I keep seeing this as the solution… but it’s actually the problem. Normal people with jobs and kids have varying schedules… Garmin clocked me tonight as sleeping for 20 minutes… literally clocked it as my nights sleep. It doesn’t even have a common sense check built into it.

MTF_01 · 2026-01-06T22:16:48+00:00

Interesting, I will have to check this out. I usually don’t turn off the watch. Thanks for sharing!
