Now that you’re retired, it’s just high heels and leather all day long. I’m glad you felt comfortable enough to share that with us.

I hope this is a start to a very happy chapter for you.

 

Christian Louboitan’s tend to be a little snug around the vamp for me. Perhaps something with a rounded steel toe and a 2” Cuban heel? I think that would look nice with something strappy and off the shoulder.

 

Very cool.
and PS wow Steve, I’m catching up to a lot of action here.
All tgosr leather accomplishments are amazing, congrats on having more time to do stuff you enjoy so much

 

The blue ostrich strap would probably look at bit like my electric blue ostrich strap...great colour!

 

Looks like you cobbled together a pretty good repair...

 

Cutting belts off a double shoulder. Before and after. Belts done. Now for another watch roll. The next roll goes to a Canadian Watch Collector.

 

@Syrte @DaveK @JwRosenthal

Should we change this to “adventures in expensive briefcase making?”

I think not. Nice case but wow! Lotta money!

 

That doesn’t look like anything worth stealing at all

 

Lets go with “Adventures with too much money to spend”.

 

Yeah, this is another one of those completely tone-deaf offerings from
Dinky…but are we surprised?

 

Nothing stopping you from making your own version!

 

Those fancy Louboutin "escarpins" worth the work, aren't they? Haha!

 

You laughed at my braille watch that I made a pilot's strap for, but Dinky's tone-deaf alarm clock was an even more refined level of irony

 

I am making two more watch rolls like the last one that I made. One for a Canadian Collector. I am making one with natural leather and one just like the previous one. I am giving the natural leather a wood grain look. A bit of time on the burnishing wheel is all it takes.

 

Good lord, that's a lot of pieces on the go it will be rewarding to see it all come together. I love that moment, but it's also the point that I tend to rush things at.

The woodgrain looks dope, I've never seen it before

 

Yes. I am taking the rest of the day off!

 

Keep away from the FS section once you break out the contact cement

 

Thought I would share this here- courtesy of @DaveK for an upcoming milestone birthday (thanks for rubbing it in, man!) I was literally moved to tears when I opened the package.

And of course, with Snorkel’s

 

My goal was to make you feel bad about your birthday, but it looks like you’re determined to enjoy the occasion anyway

 

Can I take your watch pouch in the pool? Is it waterproof to 50m?
