Nice work

Roon blackening and finishing after wet mold I realize it's not the only way to do things it just works for me sorry for all the pics just wanted to show you how it works hope it helps .

Dyed after wet mold and did some toning around the edges on the belt and holster but not to dark I don't like the dark toning look.

Holster before dye on left after dye and finish on right.

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying to do. let it dry somewhat on the mold with air movement like a fan you don't need heat just the fan then remove the mold let it dry some more then revisit the mold once more make sure it's good don't wet again just put the mold in dry.

I've made a lot of things. Wet mold then let it dry, then dye and let that dry, then wipe it real good with a cloth, then three or four light finish coats, this has never failed me, its all the drying time things must be very dry before the next step so if you have a lot of work you can set things aside while you work on something else. And all I just said is just my opinion, because it works for me. Hope it helps you.

Those are some good thoughts Chuck cant say I've ever herd of a gardenian LOL are they from the Gardenieae tribe. Anyway this morning I made a wonderful French press coffee with toast butter and molasses that coffee aroma stayed all day. First name came to mind for me was Dion O' Banion .

So if I say Gardenia who is the first person to pop into your head LOL,

Yes sir a lot of how we think has a lot to do with what we see everyday and that's a conversation for another day LOL.

After work I would put some of my chickens in the garden, have a cigar and a glass of brandy then just sit and relax for an hour or so. The stress of being self employed . Beautiful Barred Rock chickens a very calm breed.

Wow what an idea! now I'll be looking for a pair that sounds like a fun project . Looks good Frodo.

Wow beautiful work my friend

Mine to Mom made lots of them!

The girl next door brought home a guy from south America home one day said he was her new boyfriend he lived with her 3 or 4 months then one day she said can you get rid of the rabbits they were her pets he said sure she went shopping he killed the rabbits and cooked them up when she came home he asked her if she wanted some she thought him to be a savage she came to my house screaming crying in shock telling me what an animal he is when I told her rabbit is my favorite she was Devastated I just don't get people like that she being a psychologist and all you would think well forget that. Mine to Mom made lots of them! Mine to Mom made lots of them!

Nice work Chuck your a very talented Man.

Very nice but I think that makers stamp could have went on the other side but that's just my opinion .

Hope that mix works good for you it looks great here.

Sorry my friend just mixed it to be sure it's around ten parts yellow to 4 parts green 1/2 drop black this mix gives a nice avocado green wow nice color.

I think start with yellow about 4 parts then green about1.5 parts the one drop of black. Hope that helps .

Nice job on that love that texture looks great.

I use acid brushes for contact cement or the latex they work fine, for hot hide glue I use an artist brush with a wood handle and more bristles .

that's beautiful LOL LOL LOL

It's not so much what it means, it's what it says about the fabricator .

Curves that are not tangent to the rad make me nut's but that's just me .
