    Need to practice my cutting of letters. Overall not to bad.

    I think I did a good job on the 3 ID patch (the top one). The CJSOTF patch didn't come out as good. I think I will have my wife send me a finer tip pencil for the tracing. The one I am using makes wide marks on the tracing and makes it more challenging to get crisp lines.

    I did this book cover for the Officer in Charge of the Signal section that I am supporting. I made some mistakes but hopefully he will find it nice. On the circle I think I should have used a capler instead of drawing. I found I need to look at the pictures a little closer before I start tracing / cutting.

    Fun Sunday project - little designing, cutting, carving, stamping, and lacing. Used scraps sent to me.
  5. All, Thank you for the kind words. It is an honor to serve in the US Military. I have served in Active, Reserves, and Guard for 23 years now and still find it rewarding. I have already seen some good tips. I developed a pattern using 4 different stamps that I am putting on a belt. My next project is going to be a book cover. I am trying to determine what design I want. I have been doodling a lot in the evenings, trying to figure out how to get the details (examples eyes, details on cones, etc...). Just need to remember it takes practice and that it is art not science. Bob, I would like to learn to work on saddles and other tack. I may try to tackle that next winter after getting home. Horn, I live in Scio (just a little south east of Salem). When I am not wearing the uniform I work for BPA at the main office in Portland. All, Have a great day working with leather. May 2013 be full of happiness and success
  6. I just wanted to say hello and thank eryone for their posts. For the first time I have been trying different techniques and doing more tooling / stamping. It has been a nice way to deal with down time away from family and friends. I have read several posts and can't wait to try some new things.
