Nice work for your K-Bar

Monica, Really, really nice workmanship ! I especially liked seeing the mandolin bag. but all of your work is both beautiful and well done. By the way as a foot note to you; I talked with our Tandy David and he says Hi, and does in fact, remember you from your name ! Keep up your great work !

Im with them, I like it too ! The black Johnny Ringo look, is kind of a refreshing look , not always seen as much as are other colors ! Nice workmanship in this piece too.

I think its a slam dunk !! Especially for a first time attempt. Super, Super workmanship, even without the human model (girlfriend) in it, it has very nice lines, so when and if, we get to see it modeled, we won't be seeing the insides anyway. hoho keep up the good work !

I like the look of this sheath, it has style and function, nice work !

Fredo, You do some nice clean work Your ideas came through loud and clear, ! Ilke the suntan too. Oh, and thanx for the mini description breakdown, thats always informative.

I think your work is very clean and neat, good luck on your endevours. Not a member of face book sorry !

Leprachaun, First and foremost Congratulations on your Marriage, As far as your Dad's new Fathers day billfold is concerned, Super great work. !!! I especially like the yellow saddlesoap burnishing idea ! Looks very clean and smooth. I'll try that myself. I liked the lil bit of extra leftover around the card pockets, looks nice, stronger somehow. And lastly the brown stitching looks appropriately done. Really nice work !!! I like it, and Im sure your Dad will be extremely happy to carry it, and be proud of it !!!

I too wish, I was that well versed in tooling, and for that matter design as well. Just like Monica I liked the 1st, but then straight on through the 8th picture as well. Super nice work !

I too say, Super great work on your first project. Nicely done !

Welcome to the best leather site on the web, and Thanx for posting Now your in the Fire, Your first project is indeed a success ! Even though the bug has bitten , do another project soon. were all waiting to see number two, Good job !

Sweat cuffs for my Biker friend. I just wanted to THANK my friends on LWN for their help with my concerns for this project. I have completed what I hope will be a good solution for him. and that it will be a positive influince on his wrists. I first made a 3-4oz veg tan lining strap the size of his wrist, Then using terry cloth I sewed a sleve to go over that strap. Next I made the outer strap from Latigo, just long enough to go over the inner, but still tight enough for support. And, using Velcro I was able to hold it all together at various points, so the inner strap will be removable in order to remove the sleeve for washing when needed. I used Gum Tragacanth to smooth it down on the inside, slicked it down. (minus the terry (haha) I put a few holes on top for some air circulation then, I laced the edges and gave it all a coat or two or three of Ossie. Inside and Out ! I don't have pictures yet, but, when I can figure out how to reduce the size of most my pictures. I'll post them here. Thanks my friends for your valuable input, your time, and your interest. _______ Wild Bill46

A realistic new looking wallet. minimum, sleek, and inviting !

Im with them, I like it, New Orleans voo doo and all ! Nice job.

Started a reply , then went back to the picture of your work, to have another look, Don't know what happened to my first reply it was gone, So here goes again. I was saying, I think as usual. your work is always a super sight to behold. This is no different ! Double loop lacing looks great, tooling looks great too ! I like it !

Yeah Joe, Im still impressed with your level of skill, for a relative newbee, you've come a very long way, in a short amount of time. I like your wallet, and the color is phenomenal looking, Is your stitching hand stitched ? or machine stitched ? either way its very pretty, and even ! Keep on keeping on Man. Wild Bill46 By the way, I be-frended you the other day !

I too, have to concur, This is an excellent rendering of the idea (last two pictures) . Your hand stitching is a thing of beauty, and I understand your pride in wanting to do it this way. (Maybe I can come to you sometime for pointers, Hugh ocean between us for soooo many learning trips. lol) I also really like the two buckle idea, more comfort I would guess ? not to mention other gear, etc. Nice work !

Hippie, Thank you for your explanation of what a sporran actually is. I had never heard that word or name. I'll try to remember it. Your piece is a great work, congratulations ! I don't were a kilt , but I would be happy to ware that.

Welcome, And your right, this is the best leather place on the net. ask away were all here to help one another ! Please excuse my ignorance But, i'm not quite sure just what a sporran might be ?? At any rate WELCOME !!!

Thanx Cheif, I appreciate your kindness !

This looks great Chief, I have seen some here and there however, as you say, not many. But your workmanship looks great ! and attention to detail looks great too ! I've got to make myself one sometime in the near future for when motorcycling in these mountains. Would you mind if I copied your design should I ever decide to make one ?

Again Hunio, beautiful as usual !

Joquarter Yes, As already stated, The idea for tools -tooled into a belt is a great idea for many occupations. really unique there. same for the buckle, I'll bet the lucky recipient will be happy, and overjoyed !.

All look nicely configured, thought out, and executed ! I admittedly don't know much about masks, but I know art when I see it !
