Handmade leather metal detecting pouch

[johnny the digger]

Just made my second version leather pouch and added a pin pointer sheath. This one is also for sale here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171302040081?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649.

Beautiful tooling! I'd hate to put dirty finds in that nice pouch.

Awesome pouch...just a bit too "pretty". That's not meant as a negative thing, but the gloss finish doesn't appeal to me. I would just want a dull gloss or even a open grain finish. You do outstanding work! I would love to have one, but as others have mentioned the price is a little steep. I know you probably have a lot of time in one of them, but I also think there's a sweet-spot price wise, where you won't be able to fill orders fast enough.

Keep up the good work! Great idea

Very nice, but not something one would use to get filthy dirty with who knows what... the $11 Garret bag is fine for me, Pin Pointer and digger have their own holders, when the bag gets to filthy with mud, it gets hosed off and scrub it down with a brush.. Not to mention nice leather adds even more weight.. Might have more luck with making remote caddies for over the arm of nice leather arm chairs.. Unfortunately you will have a very limited customer base that would be willing to pay what it would cost.. I had a couple of hobbies like this.. just about any type of art.. drawing and painting.. "You want how much?"... So I won't do commissions as once you pimp yourself out it becomes work.. and trying to sell stuff I did for my enjoyment doesn't seem to work either.. .. Good luck!

Since I did auto body and frame repair for 46 years, I would save all seat belt webbing and buckles, I buy carpenter's open grain leather work pouches at garage sales or on sale at Home Depot, and thread a seatbelt through the belt loops. I don't like the webbed belt that comes with the pouches from a store. The one I am currently using has worked for me for over 30 years, and has never been washed nor has it ever failed me.......nge
