I'm a "Jack of all trades, master of none" kind of person.
I really love working with my hands and I do it as a diversion. Good thing I work in IT...
In the last few years I have:
- Built an electric bass guitar (Which is actually playable. Used it on a recording last year)
- Soldered an amplifier
- Built three loudspeaker cabinets
- Sewn a bunch of costumes (period costumes, and normal clothing. done with a machine, because I'm a lazy fucker)
- Built 3 bikes
- built 5-6 knives and a hatchet (from metal stock, with hand tools. Can't afford a proper belt grinder...)
- ...
Yesterday I made this. I bought some leather for a project and wanted to try out my stitching. And since I cant afford a real @31trum wallet...

That looks great, have you got a website or any other photos of the items?

Thanks. No, I usually just make the stuff and forget to take pictures. As I have no intent of selling anything I don't have a website yet. I'm just lazy. There's some pictures of my knives in the knife porn thread though.

@kboy Thanks. I bought some of these 4 / 6 -pronged hole punches that look like little forks. Really good for getting the stitch line straight. The rest is a matter of even pressure and doing things the same way around every hole. There's plenty of room for improvement though.
