My take on the classic Field Notes “Pony Express” leather pouch. Easily holds 3 notebooks and even one of the field notes pens. Large nickel snap, edges left alone (not burnished smooth). Oiled and a coat of leather balm. Thick leather. This small pouch is substantial. Will age beautifully.

Slowly shifting away from the m.b feed and to using RSS entirely. Also slowing shifting to posting to my site only with MarsEdit on my Mac. Feel like I’m getting closer to the golden age of 2007 :-)
Made a mini leather briefcase.
Pony Express…
Back in my woodworking days I used story sticks to record various notes and markings for projects I hoped to repeat over and over, making small holes with my dividers to save time in the future. I now do the same thing with my leather work, except instead of story sticks I call them Story Straps.
Latest custom leather project shipped out to my customer in the UK 🇬🇧 - a pipe case, complete with a satin lined pipe tobacco pouch and hand-carved matches in their own fancy pouch. Very happy with how everything turned out.
Pro-tip: stop reading/watching the “news” for two-weeks. At the end, if the world is still spinning, go for another few weeks, and another, and another :-)
Just found out I mixed two leather orders, one should have had the buckle the other should have had the strap loop. Will do whatever is necessary to resolve based on what each customer prefers, so no concerns from a customer service perspective, but I loath messing up like this.
Feeling clear about things at the moment, which is nice :-)
Planned to have a workday today but am too tired from the week…rest day it is.
Learned about keyboard haptics in iOS on the latest episode of Cortex. Enabled and I kinda like it…

Hit a good stride with making these leather oven mitts. Can now make the pair for my client, and get them listed for made-to-order requests.
