Hi folks,

just wanted to show off my new Steampunk bag and some other stuff.

SP bag is biggest thing i ever made and carved all around. was some heavy work :) I'm not entirely happy with it, but it turned out ok. espeacially when you know that there was edge kote spilled over the front lol :)

The Steampunk belt is for myself, it got that fancy buckle you can buy from tandy. very nice toy but quality is not very good. i used it every day for two weeks or so and of course i played with the movable gears, but they already start to losen. Other prob is, that the antique comes of in the beveled lines. never had that before. maybe because i used a plain beveler not one with texture? Any ideas?

The plain red is made to order for my mum. i like this crossing beltloop.

I ordered three different belt blanks from tandy to see their quality, So one was spare. I made the last belt out of it and will see if i can sell it for special price, because quality of this belt blank was not very good.

The wristband i made out of a piece of leather that was lying around.

Thanks for having a look, i appreciate any hints to get better.

Jonathan

Pretty interesting, looks nice

I notice some fuzzies on the edges of the bag. They need to be slicked down and burnished.

Thank you guys.its been a lot of work indeed :)

@tom: I will burnish the edges one more time. I wasnt paying enough attention to it... After I spilled the edge dye about the bag, I only wanted to finish that damn thing and did the remaining parts very fast... No good idea lol

Have a nice evening

no worry much about the spilled black....from where i sit , it adds a kind of "old used" stuff aspect ;)

even if some things need to be improved, i really like the result ;)

Thank you aurelie. Lucky as i am i antiqued before Edge dying and the antique was a little bit like a reit to the edge dye. I was able to wipe most of it off.

Steampunk is a niche in the fantasy literature. Its a little but like science fiction in 18th to 19th century, which means steam is more or less he only artificial power that was invented but it s imagined to be much more powerful than in the real world. Just combine steam power with airships and Jules Verne and if you like add a little bit of magic and workers and what you get is steampunk :)

Have a nice day

I love the steam punk bag, very original design and nice detail. Steam punk is definitely a cool and interesting niche, amazing what things like that sell for. The bag isn't too over the top, I really like it.
