Das Boot (Ice boot)

Made this (Green) boot for my buddy Bill. He gave me the paper bag prototype an hour ago, and I whipped up this first fabric boot. It's going to be lined inside with a trash bag, and then filled with ice and water. The purpose is to cool down a lower leg!

Running bag tote style

I made this fitness bag for my friend Megan. I sized it off my Nike running bag. The exterior is sunbrella canvas and it has a double thick canvas bottom for better wear. On one ext side is an open divided pocket, and on the other a full length zip pocket. There is also a zippered interior pocket. The bag is fully lines with a gold vertical stripe fabric. The top of the bag has a black belt which stiffens it up, and there is a single 3/4" side release buckle to hold things closed. There is a carry handle and adjustable shoulder strap. This project took me approx 3 weeks on/off. Hopefully it gets well used. If you're interested in a custom bag like this contact me!

Crampon bag

I just finished building a crampon bag for my friend Pam. These kahtoola crampons are very popular for trail runners, but they come in a cardboard box. It's a good idea to store sharp crampons in a sturdy container. I built this bag from river rafting material. I added a loop at the top for hanging, a drain grommet on the bottom, and a reflecto zipper pull. This bag should work well, I've done this style for crampons before. Enjoy the pics and contact me if you like one of these bags. Bobde1234@me.com

Wolverine Claws

Made a set of claws for my friend Bruce. He wanted them longer than the prev pair, so I added 3". I think the extra length is very nice. 1000d cordura exterior, fleece interior (skeletal fish this time). Also, a long external reflective racing strope, and cordlock/3mm rope for secure barend connection. Cuff stiffener. Custom embroidered wolverine claw logo to boot!

Cappuccino machine cover

Ok I didn't actually completely make this. I did, however, change it from a tarp to a cover. Maybe I'll make a more fine-tuned one later, but this will do the trick. It's a heavy vinyl, and I sewed the corners, gave it a webbing base, added grommets, an reinforced the holes up top and added a handle. I think it will last a while. The roaster who owns it is a very neat guy. Enjoy the pics!
