Happy Father's Day!!!

Today had been a great day for spending time with my RL dad.
Last night, I put together a leather multitool sheath case with flashlight holder. It's made of veg-tanned leather from a kit, so the parts are already pre-cut with snap fasteners and belt clips built in, and the stitching holes already punched. Before assembly of the parts, I texture tooled them with a nice simple basic pattern, and hand-stitched them together with waxed black/dark-brown twine thread using a needle awl. I spent several hours working on the project, and when I gave it to him this morning, he loves it! It means a lot to him that I handmade the gift, and he was impressed with the fact that I did the stitching by hand using the needle alone without using any other tool to stitch the pieces together with. That is a challenge to do, especially since the pieces had to be molded since they are not all the same dimensions.
I also gave my dad a professional 3D modeler pen, which looks similar to some of those new 3D modeling products for kids that you see on commercials these days, but this one is far more expensive and of better performance and quality, with the option of buying many more colors for modeling material. He tried it out today, and he let me have a go on it after awhile. I wrote "Happy Father's Day" with it. ^w^
Also, today, my dad and I spent time on the road together, just the two of us. I learned a few things from him during that time.
