Anyone else here into leather work?
I've been admiring a lot of the small batch leather goods and accessory cases popping up on instagram on various EDC related threads/hashtags and my brother recently got into it... making a few small things and then a large camera case.
I recently bought an S.T. Dupont cigar cutter that did not come with a case - and while they sell some with cases, they do not sell individual cases.... so I've started up trying to make my own after a bit of googling.
I've got a few different pieces of leather the right size in different colors of ostrich and just bought some waxed thread to hand sew it but have not made much progress beyond that. I thought I'd try to avoid buying an awl to punch holes to thread through and thus far I'm failing to make big enough holes with my various devices. Anyone into this type of handiwork and have any insight to share or photos of things you've made?
