Old Coin purse

Update 3rd May 2018.
       So happen during housekeeping got hold on an old coin purse fabricate around year 2000. It was one of the first few project.

This is my first project on coin purse without using diamond chisel to punch hole and use normal needle to sew and using normal thread material.

Rear view, using sewing machine to sew belt strap.

This is how my first few project done with limited knowledge and skill and limited tools to compare with current coin purse.

Compare to current coin purse there is a lot of difference. The difference is where I learn to improve and pay more attention as i move forward.

It very obvious as I learn new skill and method with correct tool the out come is very great changes.

Another older design coin purse project built during year 2016 era there are some
improvement but lack in the correct skill set on punch hole and stitches.

Some new idea for key chain for the strap instead of rivet have try out using thread .

Note the strap where the ring is attached use stitches and it less bulky compared to use of riveting method.

Book Mark project

19th April 2018.

I am doing some housekeeping and transferring the book mark project from "Trying to make small gift".

  New project book mark "heart shape".

Mixture of leather material

Different stitch type for book mark











A very simple book mark project, cutting a 2 cm strip of leather and fold to required length. The folded part is stitch together to hold the two leaf which act as a book mark

Intentionally leave the original leather edge shape as part of design. As each design are unique in shape and pattern. it depend on how you view this design for book mark. Of course you can choose to cut whatever shape that suit you.
Design and pattern depending on each individual preference to suit their taste for bookmark design.

Very simple design and easy to make and very practical for use.

Of course if time permit might want to emboss with pattern on the leather surface.










End of project for today..

Update 24th Feb 2018.
              Experiment with new book mark.
It make up with two different leather strip and join together.

Some of tools use for making this book mark.

 Use a clamp to hold two piece together with the help of glue. To prepare for the step is punch mark for stitching purpose.

 Use marker pen to draw line on project. Make it easier to align and prepare to punch hole with tool.

 Use punch tool, to minimize knocking sound when use typical method. However in this case because the leather material is not to thick or heavy have use a self make wooden rod to make it easier to grip and punch hole with hand.

Update 9th April 2018.

 Sharing some tips on burnishing on soft edge of project.
It is better to have paper as the base when doing burnishing of the soft edge of project. The purpose of the paper is to protect the matt, as due to intense burnishing the matt grid line will wear off  I have glue a small piece of scrap leather on a small holder for this purpose. Instead of using finger to hold and rub against the project edge.

2018年4月9日更新。

  プロジェクトのソフトエッジを磨き上げるためのヒントを共有します。

プロジェクトのソフトエッジを研磨するときは、ベースとして紙を使用することをお勧めします。 紙の目的はマットを保護することです。激しく磨き上げるとマットのグリッドラインが摩耗してしまうため、この目的のために小さな革の切れ端を小さなホルダーに接着しました。 指を使ってプロジェクトの端を掴んだりこすったりするのではなく。

=======================++++++++++++++=====================
Update 13th April 2018.
Sharing one project after burnishing done. The result is mix and might be insufficient sanding the surface before burnishing work start.

2018年4月13日更新。

バニシング完了後に 1 つのプロジェクトを共有します。 その結果、混合が発生し、バニシング作業を開始する前に表面のサンディングが不十分である可能性があります。

This part is preparation for making band.
Use a sharp knife to scrap part of the leather surface to create rough surface to apply glue.

On the other end is to remove part of the surface and prepare to apply glue.
Do take note it is the reserve side to remove part of the surface. It serve as dual purpose a) to reduce thickness at folded part and (b) as part of the gule process to clean area.

Use of backing material to punch hole with awl tool

Notice this small band was measure to required length and the end part are glued together after cleaning and scrapping to required thickness. See above procedure

use an awl tool to punch hole number #1 and #2

Insert thread from inner side and exit outside (Number #1)

Loop thread to number #2 hole,

Tie up a knot using thread on inner side. This to terminate thread .Cut off access and terminate it. Normally to terminate this knot is to trim close to surface and use lighter to terminate joint.

 Update 16th March 2018.         Some tips for luggage tag parts.

Slowly cut a line when approaching the end and stop. Note use a marker pen to make it easier to guide the knife when cutting a line.

The same goes to the other perpendicular line
and cut until both line meet. This how the corner edge is cut.

 Tools required to perform this action.
Note the paper is a template to be use as a guide for the points.

Use of steel ruler as guide and recommend to have sharp knife for this action.
I had tried to sharpen the knife with very fine emery paper. As the edge wear off very fast. Once the knife edge is dull you have difficulty to cut clean hence it best to sharpen the knife.

Use of steel ruler to mark point base on the template guide. An awl tool is use for marking point on leather. Use a marker pen to make it  more visible for cutting process.
