Can you get me the dimensions or pictures next to a ruler? The spring clip is actually cheap and easy to get.
I’m certain whatever you create will be outstanding!

Super cool. I need to see what you end up making!

It does not look like much but I have the pattern made for the blade putter cover. Next step will be to transfer this to a piece of leather and cut it out. Date night with my wife so might not happen tonight.

On another note, I've started working on the mallet cover pattern as well. I do have a question though. What would you guys like to see? If I tool a design into the leather do you want to see video of that (if I can make that possible) or just a bunch of pictures of progress along the way?

Asking for a friend, how about a gimp mask!

All I can think about is The Average Joes walking out in the leather and Jason Bateman say, “That’s Rad!”Is this an official request captain?(if we show up at Al's house wearing them he won't let us in)
Don't know how I missed this thread first time around, but really looking forward to seeing this project take shape!
To answer your question above, progress pictures along the way would be very cool, a video would be really interesting to see the process.

Looks like a whole lot to me! Getting that template done is a big part or the process!
How did you decide on a flap closure? Magnets or snaps?

I typically use snaps but I have a magnetic clasp that I am planning to use for this. I plan to transfer the pattern and cut the leather tomorrow. I will try to get a picture of the magnetic clasp tomorrow.
I’d like to see what you come up with.

I just realized I missed your first question. I was looking at a standard putter cover and by design with the cushy internal lining and with a simple strap across the back (or embedded magnetics) it offers some protection if the putter is dropped. With this being all leather with no lining I want some protection if dropped so I went with the flap. Plus, I know blade lengths differ so there won't be a friction fit and the putter may move around more inside it.

Really looking forward to see how you incorporate the magnetic closure... I typically use snaps too and really want to have a way of using magnets effectively. I even got a magnetic badge assembly in hopes that I could use it somehow later.
Ah, good call. I forgot that you weren't going to be using any sort of lining.
Any consideration to at least gluing in some fleece?

Got it.. Going to mock it up as well!
Man I can't wait to see the progress & final product!
You and me both! I really enjoy leatherwork... something about it is just so satisfying.
