iconoclasta_88 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I took the measurements for the vertical straps straight from the pics you sent me so not sure what to say there. I will double check them though as I could have done something wrong, I am not used to using metric. as far as the edges, I tried square ends but they looked funny. I looked at the pics again and it was as if they were almost square but rounded at the very tip. I tried to get that look but I guess I didn't get it right. I will square it off and see what happens. There is enough material that I can just snip off a little on the end of each one. ***I went back and looked at those pics again and the measurements are correct. I also took a close look at the edges and they do have a slightly rounded edge, both the IO pouch and the one from Rolf. My rounded corners may be slightly larger but realize I am doing everything by hand. Not sure if they had a leather punch pattern or what.*** Edited to add note Ok... Don't worry bro. If you use those for reference, then that must be correct. I have not studied those pictures as deeply as I'm sure you have, So I trust you. The pouches are coming out great...

Zadokk Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 no problem Juan, thanks for checking out the pics and asking questions. as far as the material, the front is made from 3-4 oz vegi-tan leather and the back is 8 oz predyed shoulder leather. It is the closest thing I can get from studying the pics. As far as the heat, it is all leather so it shouldn't do more than become a little more 'plyable' as most things do. I use a leather sheen on all of the leather to seal it so it should help protect it also. I don't expect any problems caused by the heat but if you discover a problem, please let me know and we will work something out. I have all the parts cut out and hope to get them dyed and sealed. After that, I will start the assembly process and see what they look like. I will keep you updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Any news on when these might be up for sale? I would like to buy one in time for C5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zadokk Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 I have run into a stitching problem so I was trying to work with a local shoe repair shop to see what they can do and for how much. I am having to wait till next week (tuesday probably) before they can get to them. Due to the way I have to assemble these pouches with the rivets, I am having trouble getting the stitching straight as I have to use a dremel to punch through both layers of leather. I am also brainstorming to try to figure out a way to get around the problem myself but kinda doing the family thing this weekend. When is the C5? Have a great 4th everyone.

Zadokk Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Juan, you will have the 1st set for sure as you have helped me a ton, just need to know how many of what type you want. I am going to start with the limited set that I have then I will start a production run and start a list of requests. Hopefully, more pics tomorrow.

iconoclasta_88 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Thx a lot bro! I will need 3. 2 of the vertical straps pouches, and 1 of the slant ones. But, since this is just a limited run, I will just sign in for the 2 vertical pouches and I can wait till you do the regular runs for the slant one. This will also help me with the money issue... hehehe. Again, thx a lot. Let me know how it goes! Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 i would love a set of these !how can i get 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zadokk Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Thanks for the feedback and help everyone. Here is basically how I see things progressing from here. First, let it be known that these will not be just rolling off the assembly line and construction may seem painfully slow but they are hand constructed. I took a couple of pouches to a shoe repair shop to see how they looked using their sewing machine and was not impressed at all - these 2 pouches will be sold as B grades to recoupe costs of materials. I hope to have 3 other pouches up for sell in the next couple of days. Once those are sold, I will start a 'project run' thread and will start filling orders as they come in, more about that later in the thread. A little about me and what I am dealing with on the home front - my wife just started a new job so we are trying to get settled into a routine that works for us and our kids. I have a 15 mo. old and a 2 year old so we are kinda busy in that reguards too. I say this to ask for a little patience and understanding. I am very excited about the enthusiasm I have received about the pouches and I look forward to working with you all. Just to keep things fair, I will post here a day before I put the pouches up for sell so everyone can be ready and have a chance at them.

Zadokk Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 thanks, I still have 2 to sell in the Sales forums. I will probably be starting a Project Run thread next week so you can be on the look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
