Found a scrap piece of glue lami on a jobsite and cut it down to make this tool rest. 170 holes holes including two 2 1/4" holes for mauls. I definitely don't want to make another one. LoL!
Heya Solo. Thanks! Glad to hear you got his book. He's amazing and a really nice guy. If there is anything I can help with feel free to drop me a line. Looking forward to what you put together!
Pretty stoked to have won a 3rd place ribbon at the 13th Annual World Leather Debut!!
Was a big honor to share my work in a room full of amazing artists. Woo Hoo!
DJole: I'm not sure, they may be. I like their stuff somewhat but I still use a mix of acrylics. I do have some friends that color leather professionally that love Angelus paints!
Lavendara: Hey thanks!! =o] Erystawi: Thank you too! The green, yellow, and red are Tandy Eco~Flo dyes. The black is Tandy Pro~Stain (in the square bottle), and the white is Cova~Color. I live in California so we're pretty much resticed to using water based dyes only.
Thanks Odin! I'm out in California so we're kinda limited to water based dyes. I used Eco~Flow dyes and Cova Color acrylics (Tandy products). And for the metallics I used Lumiere by Jacquard. I really like their pearl paints too.
Heya Solo, thanks for the compliment! Very much appreciated. No, I don't use an airbrush. Although, I did get one for Xmas. It's just sitting there in the box. I'll get to it eventually. lol. But for now I just use Sable brushes. Yes, it's my design but I looked at a ton of stuff for reference. Lots of gears, particularly Swiss watches, corroded metals, and Biomech tattoo stuff as well. It's more of mesh of everything I suppose. I drew it all on tracing film which looks more like a blueprint now. You should totally do one. It's a lot of fun to work out the details and tooling and coloring!
