Phone pouch with redesign card slot

I've been tinkering with the design of the card slot on the phone pouch lately. I wanted it to be more rounded and to have more finished look. It also needs to be more usable. I have made a few blanks but never had the chance to implement it.

Well that opportunity came a few weeks ago when my friend asked me to make a pouch for his Samsung Galaxy S2 phone. I obtained the dimension of the phone from the website and start building it, a bit wary of the size since I don't have the physical phone with me. He wanted a purple thread on it.  And by the way, purple is my new favourite color to match the natural veg-tan, the colour contrast nicely, not as strong as red does but much smoother.  

The leather is burnished with beeswax and edges sealed. Some pictures:

  1. Looks great! How do you cut the rounds on the corners so well? With scissors?

  2. Firstly I traced the round shape using the head on the copper rivet. Then I cut it in three different section with my headknife, following the curve closely. It will be rough at this stage. Smooth it up using sand paper/sponge. I dislike using scissor as it tends to produce inconsistent cut. Hope that helps.

  4. Hi there,

    To burnish the leather you need a block of beeswax and a canvas cloth. It's preferable if the leather surface is warm, just run the wax block on the surface, after all is coated use the cloth canvas to briskly wiped the surface, the heat generated will melt the wax. The leather should gain shine after this process.

    If I remember correctly, the dimension is 13.5 x 9 cm.

  26. เข้าเล่นให้บ่อยครั้งหน่อย ไม่ว่าจะเล่น คาสิโนออนไลน์ หรือ เกม slot ก็ตาม เพื่อกำเนิดความเชี่ยวชาญ แม้คุณจะเล่นไม่เป็นเลย และก็ ยังแพ้อยู่บ้าง แต่ว่าการเข้าเล่นให้บ่อยครั้ง จะช่วยทำให้คุณรู้เรื่องสำหรับเพื่อการเล่นเกมได้มากเพิ่มขึ้น และก็ ทำให้ชนะบ่อยครั้งขึ้นได้ หัวข้อนี้ก็เลยเกิดเรื่องที่ไม่สมควรละเลยเลย pg slot
