    Impressive work as always! Like keplerts I'm curious about the tool you used on the back side.
  2. LederRudi
    Wow, that's a lot of lace! Thanks for responding!
  3. LederRudi
    Nice! I'm thinking about doing a conquistador belt. For a start I`d use paracord I guess. A lace of how many times the length of your workpiece would you say you'd need?

    VOOSH! (Viennese colloquial exclamation that espresses awe and admiration). I dont't even feel qualified to add my two cents here! Perfect work! I'm especially impressed with the use of what seems to be a bargrounder!

    Thank you for the consoling words, guys! The design didn't look bad on paper but the execution definitely lacks the precision I can see in your celtic design, Bob, and in your shirtfront, Tom!

    Nice to meet another Eli Wallach fan here!

    Simply WOW! Relatively thin leather I guess but astounding depth! And very impressive details like that rope! Something to aspire to... ...although I wouldn't wear that shirtfront (my wife would arch an eyebrow or worse), I'd put it behind glass.

    Clarification: Design that I cover with resist (celtic knots and other) to make it stand out, always appears somewhat "dirty" when antiqued. Pic: hebrew initials with hand of Fatima. I produced additional smears when I applied Supersheene on the hand's background...and had to make another birthday present.

    Those are pieces of art! But FOR SECURITY REASONS YOU SHOULDN'T LET FIREARMS LIE IN THE OPEN ON YOUR STOOLS! (Means: they - especially the 1851 Navy - look like you could grab and shoot them!)

    Great notepad cover, Bob! I like all about it: design, background, lacing and clean natural look´. Antiquing always (at least when I do it) makes the the workpiece look somewhat "dirty", so I converted to "clean natural" recently, and like most converts I emerged as a zealot in my new belief, calling down damnation on the impenitents but lauding your work!

    Very nice pieces of scrap leather! Finally a color photo of the Stohlman S&W.357 design, makes me want to try my hands on it myself. Wish I could carve that well!

    Thanks for the info, Rohn!
  13. LederRudi
    I like them too! You've put in a lot of effort! The original dates from the early 20th century I suppose?

    Nice and clean as always! Very crisp and precise basketweave! How do you treat the backside of your belts? Every sealing that I've tried tends to cracking. I also tried leaving the backside natural...and ruined a belt sweating profusely in tropical climate

    I like it a lot, design, leather and execution! Very inspiring! A duffelbag will probably be my next project: a gymbag for my wife. But I'll avoid the excess work that the hiphugging asymmetry must have caused.

    Thank you, Bland and Bob! Got the basketweave straight finally, and I'm satisfied with this one. But I still find it difficult to prevent single imprints from "escaping" inthat they appear darker or deeper than the rest.
  17. LederRudi
    Thank you for the info!
  18. LederRudi
    Nice Ensemble! Nice and clean lacing (how on earth do you draw a guideline on hair-on?)!
  19. LederRudi
    Rohn and Bruce, thank you for the nice comments!
  20. LederRudi
    I'll put my two cents in here: STUNNING! After looking at your wallet I hardly dared to post my own stuff!

    Birthday present for an Israeli friend with her hebrew initials. Outside and pockets 4-5 oz, liner 3-4 oz. UV-tan and oil. Looks actually better than the pics.
  22. LederRudi
    Thank you for the elaborate response!
  23. LederRudi
    After the initial shock has worn off I'm actually beginning to like your golemorous roll especially the labeling with denomination and sample imprints. Such a roll would spare me to sift through two large bouquets of stamps and not finding the one I need because it's the only one stuck in upside down. I also like the absence of dead seriousness in your post and Kiwican's lawyerly elocution. It made me chuckle and brightened up a dull November morning.
  24. LederRudi
    Great sheath! I like especially the contour of the opening. I've erperimented lately with friction sheaths, so I'm curious about the leather thickness and how you treated yours after wetforming (baked? dipped into hot bees wax?)
  25. LederRudi
    Thank you for the kind words, Wild Bill. For backgrounding I used Barry King's bargrounders which aren't easy to use (alignment, moisture content) but I thought I'd give it a try and in case of failure I'd flatten out the imprints with a Tandy tool. I'm actuallally satisfied with the outcome, although I need more practice of course and probably stronger glasses.
