Easy enough to knock up a basic ring type as I can use PVC tube to mold the leather around, does it require a flap to cover it?

Drawing up some templates for a rifle scabbard and custom dog collar at the moment.

Nah leather with a flap to protect the lens,
If I wanted one that is similar to the Maglite one
I think I'd splice one from some rope

Give me a bit of time and will knock up a template for 1, as you know I have a bit on my plate and a few other orders to finish first.

No rush sort that other stuff out first that far more important at this stage.
I'll get some measurements to you regarding head size of torch and body diameter.
No rush don't stress

Collar is coming along nicely, pita marking and punching out the stitch holes though.

Got some Celtic pendants available for $12.00 each including postage.

Cross on the right I multiples, only a couple of the others.

Again, $2.00 from each sale goes to the Wheels For Hope Charity.

Just finished the 1st trial run on a smartphone case, pain in the butt and came up better than I thought.

This particular 1 is for the smaller smartphones but can do up XL which should take types like IPhone 6 (+ not sure of yet), galaxy note etc.

This 1 has the basic belt loop but can add press studs or belt clips if anyone is interested.

For those that haven't been following the escapades on the OD thread.

Here are some progress pics of the custom rifle scabbard being made.

Steers head is transferred either with a swivel knife or a modelling tool and then gradually filled in with various stamps or shaders.

This is the finished steers head with border now being stamped and stitching holes finished.

You can see the overall length of the scabbard by the size of the steers head.

Once the border is finished, it will be dyed in an antique saddle tan which is a similar colour to scabbards back when they were a more popular, cowboy / mustering era.

For anyone that is interested in one, they start at $100 plus postage and will vary depending on any extras chosen.

Dying complete and ready for lining and stitching
