Nice work !

I'm not sure what I like best blacksmithing or leather work God knows I love hammering that hot steel love it.

That's a classy piece of work.

Nice job as always Chuck you do need to start with the before and after pics though .

That's funny LOL now I see what was on some ones mind I had a friend who painted a very beautiful painting on the doors a black lacquer cabinet it was a Samurai in that garb they wore on a very colorful street looking up he sees a woman hanging out a window with a little red lantern he told me how the painting tells a story he said the woman in the window wanted to have sex and the man on the sidewalk was going to pay for it the painting was in fact very beautiful I have never found another better done than that he was an amazing artist.

Welcome from Boston Mass. Great looking work.

Like it nice work.

That sounds so grim not like your other work with the beautiful background and vibrate colors when I first looked at it my first thought was honey I'm home LOL.

I have that same hammer but it's like new the face nail grabbing marks are much deeper than yours but the same design didn't know what it was called thanks for that Chuck.

sometimes we do stuff just because it fun or we know how I polished my hammer just because I could do it in 5 min.

I think they figured if it's husband and wife they can sell one set of tools if it's just one or the other that makes room for another tool buyer but that thinking lost them a good customer or two I never went back to that store.

One time I had her to the point of almost being interested in leather work talked her into going to Tandy leather with me we signed up for a carving class it took months to get her just to go to Tandy with me on the way home the store manager called and said the store policy was they would not take husband and wives in a class would not say why just store policy I said ok you just lost 2 customers long story short she is no longer interested in leather work. LOL

A pic might be nice

My wife does puzzles on the dining room table when I walk through the room she'll say want to do some then giggles she knows I hate puzzles.

Beautiful gift that will last a lifetime .

It was smooth when I got it but then where I have a lot of metal working machinery part of which are 2 polishing lathes I figured I'd polish it took about 5 min like battlemunky say's you can do it by hand just as good and depending on certain things by hand can be even better take your time it's worth doing.

My hammer is like a mirror you could see your face in it I did and now it has a crack in it shit just kidding but it is like a mirror.

ya 5,000 of them LOL

That is cool it makes me want to try to make one it would take the whole cow to get around me. LOL

Nice work !

Yes the edging is very different and adds a great look.

Nice but the design does not look very German to me those oak leaves and acorns look pretty anemic look up Black Forest design oak leaves and acorns and get a feel for the real German Design the Black Forest design is nothing less than beautiful schonen Tag noch

That is very cool lot's of work in all that detail whenever I'm working on something difficult I'll think of this box and that thought will make my work so much easier so thank you for showing such a fine piece of work.

Nice work Stewart Beautiful pics Chuck.

Looks very nice
