  1. Beautiful job on that case Beautiful
  2. Love the color what's the finish if you don't mind me asking.
  3. Field testing the best possible thing you can do . Very nice job on that bag and turning the bottom over is a great idea. Nice work.
  4. 20 Years ago I did some work for a company that had 2 custom conference tables made at a cost of 14,000 each the first day they were in a guy walks in and throws his briefcase on the table not good the company had glass fitted to the tops your concern made me think of that the company was Digital Equipment
  5. I have done jobs just like this I would say It would need to be wet, one note taking the wood mold out can be a bit difficult .
  6. Thank you
  7. Those little pebbles are as hard as glass I ended up using shears and will grind to shape just wondering if someone has experience with this stuff.
  8. plumbers use something that looks a lot like that it clamps on the pipe between floors not saying that's what this is I'm more in agreement with wiz on this one .
  9. I like the one on the very bottom I would make the top fold over to the back then rivet to make a belt loop just incase he should want or need to carry it . It looks like a fun project good luck can't wait to see it when your done.

    Don't worry if they want to move it they will, lots of people have done that at first, Forget about it.
  13. That flower looks good but like Pastor Bob said the stitching looks very good did you drill holes for the stitching however you did it the clean lines look very nice.

    Unique nice work, I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the no border look, to me it makes it looks like it was cut from a larger piece of work that was used for something else. But that's just what I see. But then it is a very cool looking piece of work also the fact that the back is done is very nice no one ever dose that .
  18. I HAVE USED A BALL PEEN FOR THE VERY PURPOSE GOT A VERY COOL LOOK ALL THOSE BEAUTIFUL DISHES CAN LOOK REALLY COOL BUT IF YOUR NOT LOOKING FOR THEM THE BALL PEEN IS NOT THE TOOL NOT EVEN THE FLAT SIDE IT'S TO FLAT I USE AN OLD COBBLERS HAMMER WITH THE FACE POLISHED TO A MIRROR FINISH YOU CAN FIND THEM ON EBAY.
  19. WHAT'S IT BEING USED FOR ARE YOU PAINTING IT CARVING IT WILL IT BE VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL
  20. The lyf so short the Craft so long to lerne . Gustave Stickle Just do it, Learn as you go. and have fun!
  21. Welcome from BOSTON
  22. That's what I was thinking
  23. Can we see one of your designs, and what you would think would be fair compensation for the fabricator.
  24. Grind it to one bevel in one direction and that's into the bevel until you feel a slight wire on the flat side turn it over holding the flat side down on the stone very light pressure move it side to side until the wire is gone then the most important part strop with a leather strop charged with white lot's of people say green bar but in my opinion white is best be very carful not to roll the tool up at the end of the stroke one stroke on the flat side with the tool completely flat on the strop the bevel should look like a mirror don't do to much stropping get it to the mirror and stop you should be able to strop at lest ten times before you need the stone again and at that point the stone should take jus a few passes then strop again white bar is aggressive so not to much stropping I have been sharpening my carving tools this way for thirty years with the best results I can sharpen any one of my chisels to a razors edge in less than sixty seconds sharpening should be fast and easy hope this helps this is all IMHO.
  25. It looks like a tubular type I think if I were to make this I would use a solid copper rivet with a burr just for strength that's just IMHO
