This is extraordinary. Makes me feel pretty shitty about what I do with my own free time honestly.

So wife's Coworker's boyfriend's friend catches gators in Florida for the government. The boyfriend found out I do leather work and he told me he will get some from his friend. I didn't think he would follow through, but a few months later I got an alligator and a 30 feet python lol. Not sure how to use snake skin yet, It's very different. Anyway hope you enjoy the video of the process. If you get inspired to make your own, don't hesitate to ask me any specific questions. Oh, and there is a reason why I didn't stitch the whole thing, you should if you decide to make your own.

Good day

You could make a very impractical tie out of the snake skin?

I became a nerd so I can go to work with a t shirt and jeans. I don't like ties. I wore one on my wedding and that's it. I don't even wear them in my interviews.

Nice project, but it kind of made me feel sorry for the gator too, poor thing gave his/her life for a watch strap

I know. But I guess they kill them anyway in Florida for population control or people wokld be losing arms and legs more than usual over there. But yes. I was also sad and so was my wife and kid. Poor guy. He just wanted to live and eat.
