Tooled Bird Lanyard

[Tooled Bird Lanyard]

Thanks for the compliments, if need be, I could throw it around the neck of a moose and lead him out.

[Pub Glass Koozies]

Very nice!!! Great detail on these!!

I used sno-seal, heated the piece in the oven, liberal amounts of sno-seal, repeated this process 4-5 times, I hope it is waterproof but I am not sure. The strands are made of para cord, all the loops are sewn and wrapped with waxed linen thread and then the ends were covered with heat shrink tubing. The whole process is trial and error. Thank you again for the inspiration.

This will probably end up as a gift for my father-in-law, as of yet it doesn't have a home so maybe I will just keep it.

[Tooled Bird Lanyard]

You are probably right, but I have been wanting to try tooling a moose, and one of these lanyards, killed two birds with one stone and now I have somewhere to put them. Thanks for the kind words.

This is my first attempt at one of these, serious thanks to LeatherLauren for the great idea!!! Critiques/Comments always welcome, thanks for looking.

[I Have No Way To Work. Tooling Is Too Loud.]

Have you considered one of the swivel knife bevelers? They are available at Springfield Leather for less than four dollars, it wouldn't totally eliminate the tapping but would offer your family some relief, lol. Some of the members here have had success mastering this tool and might be able to offer tips.

[My First Saddle]

I don't know anything about saddle construction, but all I can say is WOW!!!! Great work.

[A Couple Of Guitar Straps That I Made]

I personally have enjoyed the numerous posts, it was good to see the variety of projects you have completed, in my opinion, it is a forum to show off your work and you have done so. Everyone has the choice to look or not. I personally have viewed most of them, carry on posting and keep up the good work.

[Ipad Cover And Wallet]

I love the design, good work and welcome!!!

[Christmas Tattoo Wallet]

Really cool, great attention to detail.

[Bible Cover]

Stunning, your friends will be thrilled.

[Latest Project]

Thanks for the kind words, I used Craftool stops 904 & 903 and a snap setter for the dots. Necessity is the mother of all creation, lol.

[Fly Rod And Reel Case]

Cool idea, nice work!!

[Latest Project]

This is a gun sling I made for a friend, let me know where I can make improvements going forward. Thanks for looking.

[Watch Cuff]

I use the pro finishes, smell terrible, doesn't last long though and so far they are holding up great on my dogs collar. Nice strap by the way.

[Tooled Tank Bib]

Thanks for the warning, gonna redo the bib the way I want it this winter so I will keep that in mind

[Gucci Eat Your Heart Out....]

Fantastic work! Doesn't much matter where you got the design, your execution is wonderful!!

[Tooled Tank Bib]

The bib is constructed of two layers of 5-6 oz leather glued and hand stitched together. Thanks for the kind words. As an added detail I also stitched the baseball style lacing. My other obsession, until I started working with leather I didn't think I would find a hobby that hurt the wallet as much.

[Tooled Tank Bib]

Made a basic bib, no pockets, etc. wanted to see how it would hold up in the extremities. Comments, critiques welcome. Thanks for looking.

[3D Skull Leather Bag]

Looks great! What a wicked idea!!

[Newbie In Canada]

Thanks for the kind words, I will work on the beveling, haven't figured out the steady technique I see in all the videos, still one mallet blow at a time, lol

[Newbie In Canada]

Couple of pieces I am working on, bike seat and dog collar. I have been at this for two months and figured I would post these to get some feed back to make sure I am headed in the right direction.
