This was a challenge from one of my Facebook followers, I was suggested a stained glass bag!

Challenge accepted

That repurposed saddle one is cool, there's must be loads of old leather lying around. Since you do it so well you should definitely advertise as an upcycler.

Here's another cool one commissioned from one our very own!
, I was asked if I could make a Dungeons and Dragons dice bag which turns into a rolling table.

I used rivets to help stability and wet formed the sides. All artwork is original to the new owner which I etched with the laser etcher.

Seeing the start with the wallets to where you've got to - incredible ! Excellent work sir. Definitely a guitar strap customer in waiting !

Evening all
Here's a funky one,
Bell bottom satchel made from very thick butt split leather, with adjustable strap.

Def will last for ever,
I have started to not use other peoples patterns now, this was my own design in regards to shape and a zr and thinks it sits really well.
Every day is an improvement.

Daft name innit, it's 6mml leather that's split to make thinner sheets, but still really thick at 3mml, lasts forever but not as glamours as tanned hide, good for printing like above

Yeah, amusing name in the UK.
BTW, I was referring to the possible list of commissioners due to the cool skull 'n' crossbones look.

Thanks again Matt, it’s even better in real life

sev112 · July 2023

Mate, you have come on more than leaps and bounds - you now have a range of highly unique and hand made goods that I think are very sellable. I will be back in touch for something for my wife’ birthday if I can think of what kind of style she would like

I'm really glad! It was a great challenge! Don't forget I'll repair anything it needs regardless of age

Ah dude thank you! That's really appreciated, its certainly a journey, and unlike guitar one I seem to be getting better at this

Strangefan · July 2023

been very busy this week!

Kittyfrisk · July 2023

Dagnabbit! Can't see any of them I'm afraid. Hope it's just me

skullfunkerry · July 2023

These are fantastic! Still very pleased with my camera strap, it's the only one I use now

That black red & green mandala day of the dead bag reminds me of Jeffery West stuff, I absolutely love it.

I'll pop a review on Google for you too

BillDL · July 2023

OK @strangefan ; How did you organise your thumbnail images in a grid and make them open in new browser tabs?

I can see from the URLs that they are direct links to the actual *.jpg images in a folder tree like this:

https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/uploads/editor/ke/ ;

The norm for images uploaded to the site by Patreon subscribers and embedded in a comment is for the image files to be assigned a long alphanumeric ID and have URLs like:

https://tfb-user-images.eu-central-1.linodeobjects.com/21e521d5a686b8425e9ffb6c31c6d3d47d82585046c6b8a569

How did you do that?

Hey dude, does clicking on link string not open up a new page? , if not and if you want to see them they're on the main page of www.mjhleather.co.uk

Hi bill, usually they pop straight up on the thread but this time for some reason whne I uploaded them they didn't process at all on the actual thread, @digitalscream ; is that me or is it a bud?

digitalscream · July 2023

Hmmm...it's weird, they seem to have been uploaded and processed, but not inserted into the actual post - did you upload them all at once, or one at a time?

As @BillDL pointed out, they've been uploaded to the wrong place, which confuses me greatly...that's not even supposed to be possible, so it's definitely a bug of some sort. Do you remember exactly how you did it?

So I flicked the file icon, chose te files initially a few at once, but when I realise they didn't go into the actual post but below I started again with just one and it did the same

BillDL · July 2023

That's really mysterious, because the "uploads" / "editor" / "ke" folders on the web server are restricted. What should happen is that they are stored in a different location entirely, given sequential long IDs, and indexed by that long ID in an XML file that is more or less a database. You've managed to "hack" tFB. Yikes!

Howdy, Stranger!
