Dead Miners

Today I would like to formally introduce you to The Conglomerate. A 16” x 12” messenger style bag with a detachable strap and handle on top to carry like a brief case https://www.instagram.com/p/CI8fm4aA6Cd/?igshid=1iy65dt5fgv0f

I’ve been listening to Monster Mash on repeat all day and it’s getting weird in here 🎃 . . #leathergoods #leather #edc #handmade #halloween #frankenstein #monster #leathercraft #hermannoak #cardwallet #quincymine #wallet #bespoke #design #logo #shopify #shopsmall #keweenaw #michigan #madeinamerica #upperpeninsula #coppercountry #getrichordiemining #deadminers https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-NvYXF52N/?igshid=1sfgc8ymgzi44

Another addition to my belt pose series.

I made this clutch based on a customer sketch this week. This is the second thing I’ve ever put zippers on . . #leathergoods #leather #handmade #handbag #leathercraft #hermannoak #clutch #wallet #bespoke #design #logo #shopify #shopsmall #keweenaw #michigan #madeinamerica #upperpeninsula #coppercountry #getrichordiemining #deadminers #mining https://www.instagram.com/p/CGp68FMF7v7/?igshid=1mo3wu46mlds4

My friend Jeff of @standup_signs painted this super rad helmet for me, shot and edited this video, and made the music in it. Sadly this looks like it was my last big hurrah for the season and I’ll be putting my bike away for winter this week. But I’ll hopefully have a functioning snowmobile this winter so I’m not too upset about it https://www.instagram.com/p/CGh4gxZhTjK/?igshid=1jovzzh9shur3

You’d never know there was something fishy about this one until you opened it 🤔 . . #leathergoods #leather #handmade #bifold #trout #leathercraft #customdye #hermannoak #wallet #bespoke #design #logo #etsy #shopify #shopsmall #keweenaw #michigan #madeinamerica #upperpeninsula #coppercountry #getrichordiemining #deadminers #mining https://www.instagram.com/p/CGfnH8fF2t8/?igshid=18889f3si2fqu

Just finished up these two black with white mist dye cash/card/coin pouches. They’re fairly compact but can hold a lot of stuff! . . #leathergoods #leather #edc #leathercraft #handmade #cardwallet #pouch #wallet #bespoke #design #logo #madeinamerica #upperpeninsula #coppercountry #getrichordiemining #deadminers #mining https://www.instagram.com/p/CGK18aSlCFb/?igshid=1j43742nwwa3j

Hey! So I did a poll a few weeks back on what kind of video you’d like to see and the @glowforge option won, so here’s most of the steps involved in making a Quincy #2 card wallet.

Friday fun fact: In the year 1899 @bugsysailor, inventor of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, declared that the first Friday of October would be designated as “Plaidurday” to honor those who have lost their lives mining our once most abundant natural resource, plaid. The great plaid mines are now all closed but to this day it’s still an internationally celebrated holiday . . #plaidurday #leathergoods #leather #edc #handmade #patch #leathercraft #customdye #hermannoak #wallet #bespoke #design #logo #etsy #shopify #shopsmall #keweenaw #michigan #madeinamerica #upperpeninsula #coppercountry #getrichordiemining #deadminers #mining https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2F0IQl5rH/?igshid=10umf49ig8ci

A very minimalistic approach to a pad for your mouse to live on. Made from natural @hermannoakleather that will develop an amazing patina over time . . #leathergoods #mousepad #magicmouse #handmade #shopsmall #leathergrinders #leathercraft #upperpeninsula #michiganmade #vegtan #hermannoak #madeinusa #bespoke #design #logo #stamp #keweenaw #shopify #coppercountry #getrichordiemining #deadminers https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0K33Dl_Ph/?igshid=1n0u4lx6qkzeg

I ordered some thick double sided cork a couple of months ago from a vendor in Portugal and it finally arrived last week. It’s basically the same thickness as the leather I normally use and I feel a lot better about it than the thinner stuff I’ve tried out in the past. Here’s a couple photos of the Centennial long wallet I made with it . . #corkgoods #cork #handmade #corkcraft #vegan #longwallet #dyed #splatter #wallet #bespoke #design #logo #shopify #shopsmall #keweenaw #michigan #madeinamerica #upperpeninsula #coppercountry #getrichordiemining #deadminers #mining https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxIT9dFJ8U/?igshid=evgpbntq7o7

Had the pleasure of making a belt mount sheath for this super rad hatchet from @motorcityaxe. Maybe one day I’ll get around to finally make one for my own hatchet 😅 . . #leathergoods #leather #axe #sheath #cover #leatherwork #hermannoak #stitching #punch #leathergrinders #saddlestitch #handmade #leathercraft #bespoke #design #logo #etsy #shopsmall #keweenaw #michigan #madeinamerica #upperpeninsula #coppercountry #getrichordiemining #deadminers #mining https://www.instagram.com/p/CFu-tJhlTUx/?igshid=recd6zkrhgo7

I made a belt mount hatchet holder this week and just happened to have also made a belt in the same color because apparently everyone is in love with the walnut dye 🥰 . . #leathergoods #leather #axe #sheath #cover #belt #leatherwork #hermannoak #stitching #punch #leathergrinders #saddlestitch #handmade #leathercraft #bespoke #design #logo #etsy #shopsmall #keweenaw #michigan #madeinamerica #upperpeninsula #coppercountry #getrichordiemining #deadminers #mining https://www.instagram.com/p/CFhknuMlhZ2/?igshid=1eh88xl9o53x0

Backpack numero uno is done! No name for it yet. It’s 12” wide, 16” tall, & 3” deep.
