  1. WOW, that's some beautiful work thank you for showing.
  2. what a great idea can't wait to sea them.
  3. Looks nice good luck with your new company I wish you the best.
  4. just for the heck of it I just looked online, wow that's fun it's loaded with art for that I did get excited when I saw the diving helmet I could see that on a belt cool stuff.
  5. At the tattoo shop bill gets three times more than John for the very same line drawing.
  6. This is artwork yes it took me three times as long but my artwork is 100 times more desirable. You can't compare artwork to brake work. Being the artist you are I'm surprised at the comparison.
  7. That's it nice looking belt and holster.
  8. Hate to say it friend but things like that have what's called a perceived value not fun to hear but it's true. It would be best if you created something that that's new or unique unfortunately your wallet is neither let's say your shop price is $25.00 dollars an hour x 10 hours labor = $250.00 your wallet has a perceived value of $50.00 that makes your wallet very hard to sell. In my younger days, I was a custom furniture and cabinet maker a decorator came it my shop he wanted a price for a bathroom vanity he showed me his drawing which had a lot of unique things about it I told him I would get back to him. Now, this vanity was only three feet long with a banjo top over the toilet. The next day I gave him a price of $3,500.00 dollars He said wow that seems like a lot of money I said it Is because that's a lot of vanity he said he could get a vanity at home depot for $300.00 I said ok that's good for them $3,500.00 is my price. He bought the vanity from me for $3,500.00 plus installation. The design of his vanity made it so unique it was worth $3,500.00 and he knew it. My advice to you is always getting what you need to get don't work for anything less. One thing I would tell people who wanted things cheaper is if I don't get all the money how can I do a good job for you?
  9. looks good Frodo
  10. No debate at all I'm just too dam lazy to do all that hand stitching I actually think it's better and I like to think of myself as the guy who would like to do hand stitching and I have all the equipment to do it but then when it comes time to do it I'm on the machine the most hand stitching I do is to close up the end of the machine stitch LOL.
  11. This is machine-stitched I think it looks ok
  12. That sounds like a deal to me good job Frodo.
  13. that's going to look really nice with the resist and antique what's on it now. as far as how much it's worth I think that starts with what you think it's worth and start to develop a price point from there factoring in all sorts of things like materials, overhead, time and time on a one-off thing needs to include design, ordering materials, and so forth sometimes it's about who is doing the buying and why anyway I would say not less than $50.00 Bucks But then what the hell do I know.
  14. Thanks for showing Frodo like to see the other one when it done
  15. I charged a guy fifty bucks for a key holder for his belt it only holds one truck key but he's happy with it he has had it for about four years now and wears it every day it's a very small case with no tooling no color $50.00 bucks with all that tooling on yours, wow not sure what it would be worth.
  16. how long did it take to make that and could we see a finished one you know completely done.
  17. Very nice work clean stitching and planned spacing can you tell us more show inside?
  18. that's very cool "He gave his harness bells a shake to ask if there's been some mistake " no mistake on this beautiful work.
  19. Kool looking job but on a job that nice no way would I let that dbl skip stitch go by sorry not pickin it would make me nut's .
  20. Yosemite Sam lives!
  21. looks good people have so many ways of achieving that belt loop it's always good to see thanks for showing and again great job.
  22. they look really nice I'd like to see the backside
  23. Beautiful workmanship the woodgrain on the cross, the colors, the stitching, detail, texture, and design are all top-shelf work and all for the greatest purpose.
  24. Nice job Chuck like always, I'm sure they will love them. The sewing looks great, and how you did those words pulls it together.
