A friend gave me a "Viking Chair", I have also seen them called "Bog Chairs". Anyway, I did a little Viking themed leather embellishment for it, you know...to dress it up. Hope you like it!

Had a go at a handbag for my wife. I like how the tooling turned out, but after that I think it kinda went down hill. Made a cool little pigskin liner, when the bag was sewn up, the liner was a bit too big so out it came! Better luck next time I guess!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I had some really crappy Tandy leather that was on clearance I bought sight unseen. I didnt want to use it on any GOOD projects, so I threw this little chalk bag together using what I had. Basically, it is for a running club where the hare goes and lays a trail of chalk, and everyone follows it, then drinking and debauchery follows. Anyway, here it is!

I like it a lot. Simplistic and has an old world feel to me. Well done!

I like how the lining turned out. How did you get it formed so well with the parring? What is the padding made from?

Great job! Love the design.

I like it! Simple design. Somewhat minimal and clean.

And it's done. Finally.

Mostly Fiebings, except the yellow. That was Angelus. I have let Eco Flo ruin too many of my projects! Thanks for the compliments!

Background dye gave me some problems, but pressed on. Got to try out some paste antique for the first time and I really like how much easier it is to handle. Outer layer mostly done. Now to add two more layers of leather for stiffness and see her up!

I agree about the HF stuff. It is definitely NOT Craftsman Pro quality. As in all things, it depends on the application or intended use. I find that I dont need a top of the line Badger airbrush to dye stuff. First, because using an airbrush takes a lot of finesse and practice to be proficient, you really need to almost use it everyday. Second I only use my airbrushes to cover larger areas to get the airbrushed effect. Great for blending from light to dark with a more even appearance. For my application, my HF airbrush suits me currently. If I ever try to get detailed I will probably get a higher quality airbrush, but I have destroyed three that I can think of because I was not a proficient user of them. Hard for me to justify paying that kind of money for something I rarely use and will probably ruin again anyway! Just my $0.02!

First round if color down. I am liking the contrast so far.

Love these! I like how unique they chair structure is as well as your leatherwork! I hope to see more of these in the future!

Here is the main part of the belt. Tooling done, getting ready for dye. The skull patch will fit in the middle area.

Finally got around to making a weight belt for myself. Here is my progress thus far.

Yeah, you kinda need both pieces for it to work right! LOL There are canned air systems too, but for your money, best to get the compressor!

Pennypower, If you have a Harbor Freight close by, they have air brushes super cheap. They work generally the same as ones that will cost 4 times as much, so it may be worth it for you to learn on before you decide you like the air brush method. Good luck!

Beautiful work!

This is so sick...In a good way! I love it! Great job!
