THE BIG RED VIKING

Welcome to the addic...er I mean forum, lots of great people and information.

Very nice, I wish my stuff was half that good.

Yes it does! I am buying a different stool and cutting as much of the legs off as I can to lower it down.

Great job, better than my first and second holster! Keep it up I learn something new everyday.

PIcked this up at Harbor Freight this weekend, I typically stray away from there but this bench had good reviews on and off their site. Find a 25% off coupon and you can get for around $120+. The only thing I don't care for are the holes on top but I will plug them eventually.

After doing some research I found they are used in gold leafing as well and the one I acquired is fairy old.

Hey hey, thank you Bruce. Very cool.

I acquired this with some leather tools this weekend but haven't the faintest clue what it is other than maybe a creaser. Wood handle, brass neck and I'm not sure what the heck the tip is made of. Says made in Germany on handle, sorry for the pictures good camera is down. Any help would be greatl appreciated.

Welcome. Look forward to seeing your work. Beautiful knives, did I see a small blurb in Blade magazine about his knives awhile back they look familiar?

Just had to put this in the show off section. A friend of mine called me and said he acquired a few leather working tools and asked me if I was interested, naturally I said sure not expecting much, boy was I wrong. He brought me over a 150 Craftool stamps, a rawhide mallet, 2 hole punches a bunch of templates, and several other tools and pieces of buck skin. All the tools appear to be from the 60's and 70's maybe a few newer/older ones. There is a Al Stohlman Craftool How to Carve Leather book from the 1950's, Lucky 7 from 1955 and Lucky 8 from 1957 and a Leather Braiding book by Bruce Grant 1961. I gave him $100, I think I did OK.

Looks cool.

Thank you. Bike was built by caseyandersonmotorcycles.

That looks awesome. Great work

Here it is on the bike.

That is awesome.

Thought I would give my $3 poly maul a shot today and here is what I came up with. The one on the right with the wooden handle was the first one and since I had left over cutting board I made another with leather disc handles.

Thanks to all. I will try and get a picture of bike tomorrow

Wow that's great I really like the design.

Thank you. It's open on the bottom.

A friend of mine makes custom bikes and asked me to make a battery cover as he didn't want the ugly battery to stick out. Here's what I came up with.

MOVED TOPIC

I am looking for a Tippmann Boss sewing machine, my fingers are finally tired of hand stiching. If anyone has one or good lead on one please let me know. I have been bidding on them on EBAY and searching craigslist, but keep getting skunked. Steve.

Very nice. That looks like it might be a 45-70 round, tell me more.

Looks cool. Great way to show your pride. Makes me want to make one to go with my shirt and bumper sticker.

very very cool. I love carving skulls. That one is nice, well done.
