Men like sharp stuffs... These are a collection of self-made tools for my leather work. Tools bought from shops are good, but they are not really cater to my hands and my works. They are made of normal hardened steel and industrialized plastic. They are simply cold and no life. There is no sense of belonging. These are self-made to my own needs. Handles are all made of hard wood. They were not treatmented,but after using for a few days, it already became so shiny. The steel for blades is superb, much harder than the normal m/steel. Especially while doing the skiving jobs, trimming the Tough leather is just like slicing the sashimi... Wow!

They are one and only, not for sell... :-)

Multi Card Holder oil tanned

Another multi card holder, with oil tanned cowhide. All edges were carefully skived to even thickness by hand. The skiving itself tooks about 3 hours... that is a Tough work! But it really helps to maintain the thinkness although some areas are 5 to 6 layers of leather...

iPod Casing 160G the old and new

Nubuck turns up so beautiful after it is seasoned. Look at the one newly made on the top and the one used for about a year and a half. you would fall in love with it and appreciate as it has been tagged along with you, acompanying for a while...

There are 2 things are really difficult, one is that during hole punching, the alignment of the perforation needs to be extremely precise, one wrong, the whole thing gone... The other is the skiving of the ClickWheel portion. to maintain the sensitivity of the Wheel, I have to trim it to about 3mm, too thin, the strength of the leather would be gone, to thick, the iPod does not work at all.
