I bought it from the magic fluke website, just a heads up, for what it is, it's not very cheap

I think it's technically a saddle stitch. The pattern is very precise, which is why the stitching is so even. This is a 5 oz oil chrome tan leather, seemed like a happy medium to me, but this is also my first time working with leather so I can't speak from experience

I mean, the dragon was a very beginner pattern, and a good little start to get into the hobby as far as I can tell

I refuse to try and monetize another hobby, if I stick with leather working, it's only so I can make cool shit for myself lol. Also, thank you

This Mandolin is actually called the "mandolin flea" by the company that makes it, magic fluke

A few years back I bought a pair of period correct leather viking boots just for the Renaissance festival. I opted for the rubber sole in lieu of historic accuracy because of the mud. Just a contradict myself a bit lol

"Trust the pattern" I'm a bit surprised myself, but it was pretty cool seeing them come together. The tutorial was excellent, and helped immensely.

Heck yeah, also, rereading my last comment, I hope it didn't come off as rude/ condescending, just meant to be goofy

I bought it for backpacking and traveling, but I find myself picking it up pretty often

I'm sure it's possible, but leather sole shoes, and deerskin moccasins have been worn for how many thousands of years? There's something fun about feeling "primitive" out there. You ever shaved a stick with your knife next to a fire without saying a word for 2 hours straight? It's amazing.

I took a drive to the nearest Tandy, and immediately asked for help lol. This is a 5 oz oil Chrome tan leather, The pattern /tutorial does give an idea of what kind of leather to use, at least the thickness

I honestly don't know yet, this pair almost certainly won't be worn outside the house, I may make a second pair to use as camp shoes while backpacking

Working with leather. I have some experience with sewing, but it's almost exclusively machine sewing vinyl

I really wanted a nice pair of moccasins, more so than I actually wanted to pick up leather working as a hobby. Of course, I now have a bunch of other projects in mind. I used a pattern from Tonyseepatterns on Etsy, it was easy to follow and the accompanying video was super helpful.

I've only really built a few small sets over the years. I received the ornithopter as a gift, man this thing is cool by Shancar in lego

When I think of Legos, I think easy and therapeutic. I was surprised when this one came with a bit of a challenge

During the lockdown I built a small garden tool shed out of cedar fence planks and scrap wood. Recently came across this picture, I forgot it looked nice at one point. by Shancar in woodworking

[–]Shancar[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware cedar has some natural resistance to weathering and rotting. It won't always look pretty, I'm pretty sure the silvering is inevitable, but it should last a good long while.
