Rivendell Bicycles s24o

The s24o is one of the coolest things I've heard of. Especially if you have a full time job, family, lots of hobbies, etc., but you still want to get out and have an adventure. More here.

Wallet repair

This wallet finally started to fall apart, so i repaired it with some stitches. My machine is very large and delicate things like this are very difficult.

Separation as the glue failed and the stitches were located too far to the edge. My stitches are inwards about 1/16" or 1/8".

My stitches look horrible and my thread is thick, but it is strong and will last another 10 years. 

This is how you're supposed to do it, by the master craftsman at Hollows Leather. Always beautiful. More here.

Closure detail

I want to be clear about this, I stole this closure idea from Mission Workshop. 

 I needed a backpack, so I bought one from their shop and it is the best backpack I have ever used.  The materials and construction are top notch.
