  1. Thanks, YinTx. The lady it went to said she cried when see saw it, so I guess I captured him.
  2. Thanks, 6-7oz leather mounted to 1/4" plywood.
  3. This is a clock face I was commissioned to do for a friend.
  4. Here's a pdf of the Antique Bronze procedure. Antique Bronze.pdf
  5. I’ll pdf mine tomorrow and see if I can post it for everyone
  6. https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/Antik Brass Effect by Iürgen Volbach.pdf?token=AWzNvbsQu_OMM5-c4NDrLR8hLz6iZUeIUuylFgy_SsiI-WgIJPdNRwoblyCBa_199Kx_bGk1ufBolukeBKytzcdbNw8xGksuyY0ool8mPfI8qpiQ_fKKlg7Dcckvm5Fo7jQP09scD28E92Hlb-sRSFBqeiYar6KdLUu2OmkJlTNUKw For those wanting to see how to do the antique brass affect.
  7. I had an old clock and decided to try something new. Saw how to do antique bronze coloring on a Facebook post from a guy in Germany. Turned out pretty cool I think.
  8. LederRudi, That's what I was thinking, Thanks.
  9. LederRudi, Thanks, I'll do that. Thought about adding the word "SIC" on band of the ribbon behind it also.
  10. Thanks, The back grounding on the picture of Jesus was three or four sittings. My hand/fingers couldn't do it all at once!
  11. Thanks everyone for the compliments. The leather is approximately 7-8 oz. He probably won’t carry 75 all at once, more like 50. Just put 75 as an estimate of size. 3 rivets on each belt loop, but I may need to beef it up. Will see after he uses it.
  12. Birthday present for one my sons. Shot shell beg with loops for a belt, should hold 75+ 12 gauge shells.
  13. Thanks for all the comments! And the jokes weren't bad either. I think mushrooms are the coolest looking plants and they make neat subjects to do in just about any form of art media. Thanks again.
  14. Thanks everyone. I think I'll do more two tone thread projects, it looks pretty neat I think.
  15. Thanks, I've had it for 45 yrs or so. It was my hunting knife, keeps a nice sharp edge.
  16. I have a Singer 29U171A machine and just got it working good with T-69 thread. I wanted to be able to sew with heavier thread, T135/v-138 bonded nylon and a 24/180 needle. The top thread keeps bunching up in the shuttle. I've checked the timing per my manual and it appears correct. Also have tried adjusting the tension of both the bobbin and top thread feed along with the presser foot settings. No joy. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Tom
