  1. I haven't done any leather work in ages and I thought I'd try a mask to jump back in. Excuse the fairly goofy picture, my kitchen is a lousy photo studio.
  2. Thanks, guys!
  3. I don't suppose you could use an apprentice, eh? lol Fantastic work as always.
  4. These are really great. Nice and sharp. What tools did you use for the background and such if you don't mind me asking?

    Leather Rose

    Just a little side project for fun. Came out kinda pretty.
  6. These are really great. I love the look of the lacing.
  7. MojoGeorge: I'll see about getting some more pictures taken. Thornale: Thanks for the advice. This is my first attempt at something like this so I appreciate your help. How much bigger do you suppose it should be?
  8. There were a lot of "firsts" in this demi-gauntlet. First "construction" of two separate pieces, first use of chicago screws (which work much better than your average rivet), and first use of black and red dyes. I plan on adding proper straps to the hand and thumb but this is where we stand so far.
  9. Thank you!

    My 2Nd Mask

    I stuck this in the gallery a ways back but never posted it for thoughts and reviews. Today...we fix that! So...whatchathink?
  11. I too know the pain of a late night d4 to the foot. Curse the d4! That said, this is a cool idea. Very clean work.
  12. Definitely! Thanks for your suggestions and the link. That helps a ton.
  13. Hello all. At heart, I am a huge geek. And thus, I play a good amount of Dungeons and Dragons. I had an idea today to create a three-ring binder for my D&D stuff based on the Red Book of Westmarch from the Lord of the Rings. That said, I'm a little confused on how to do it. I've read some tutorials but for whatever reason the specifics are escaping my noobie-leatherworker head. Essentially, it would be a slightly floppy leather bound folder that would hold plastic sheets in a three ring binder. But I'm not sure of the best way to construct it (what leather thickness, how to attach the three ring clip bit, etc.) If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm new to this and the construction aspect is still taking some time to wrap my head around. Thank you!!
  14. Thank you! I enjoy making the flasks (except for the stitching. Stitching is not my friend.)
  15. Celtic/Barbarian Bracers: These were my first real attempt at carving, tooling, stamping, riveting, and...um...spiking. I think they turned out pretty well for a beginner's try.I learned a lot during the process. Leather Flask #2: This is my 2nd leather flask design.
  16. I'm extremely new to leatherworking but I've falling in love with all the of masks I've seen on this site so I thought I'd give one a try. I'd be great to hear what everyone thinks!
  17. Thank you, sir! I broke down and ordered a majority of my tools today. Time to start constructing my patterns and getting to work!
  18. Thanks but those aren't my projects! Just examples of finishes and stains that I like but I'm unsure of how to create.
  19. Today I took my first step into the great insanity that is leatherworking!
