We were going to visit family abroad and the day before we were heading to the airport, I realised that I should have made something as a gift. Couple of weeks back I made a template for a simple key holder that I was planning| Silfer Works

After making my first leather project, the unnecessary case for my AirPods, I decided that it was time to go big! I’m not a big fan of carrying all my stuff in my pockets, so I often carry a crossbody fanny bag where I can| Silfer Works
I’ve been pulled in to the wonderful world of leatherworking, and to accommodate it in my workshop I’ve made some changes. The most important change is the introduction of a new chair!

As my son’s teddy got a fancy sombrero, I thought that now was my turn to get a hat! I got new maker’s marks laser engraved (I will post about these soon!), so I wanted to test the larger one on a small project. I don’t have a cap for the autumn, so now was...| Silfer Works

We are setting up a new On-Site IT support team at work, as apparently our support monkey was not doing good enough job. I decided that they need a proper sign for their desk which can show if they are in the office or not.| Silfer Works
My kids are still too young to handle a knife, so they can’t carve their own pumpkins. They first draw the design on the pumpkin before I carve it out. I always need remind them that the design doesn’t have to be perfect, and it might be that I can’t carve it out perfectly either....| Silfer Works
