    Where can I order one :mrgreen:

    No seriously, that's awesome. I really like it. Do you do leatherwork for your job or is it just a hobby?

    Thanks so much for the complement! :D

    Leatherworking is a hobby now, but I did it as my job for about a year. My former employers still let me use their shop outside of business hours, which is how I get around the $10,000-of-machinery-problem. I don't want to think about how long this would have taken me with nothing but hand tools.

    It took a TON of work and while I wish I could sell them, I don't have the time I'd need (already working 6 days a week). You also really don't want to know how much they would cost.

    I've been thinking about that, too. I'm going to rivet a nameplate on at some point, I think. I just haven't decided if I want to make it from leather or get something metal like a dogtag.

    Yeah great!
    I need one too...
    If I were you I'd have 2 of them, one like that and one extra extra small, just for the A1 (and maybe a spare battery or a charger). Why? The A1 is beautiful 'cause is that small, wouldn't want a bag making it look bigger :) (at least when not really needded).

    Could the OP please upload the original pictures from this post? I hate how this forum deletes all of the pictures after only a few months. Thanks!
