Hey Johann! Great looking briefcase. Love the colouring. Looks almost like some sort of texture, did you do the colouring and if so, how? I'm really curious to know what's going on with that braid at the bottom since it doesn't seem to go over the edge. Never seen that before. I've seen some of Rene Berends work and it's great. How nice to have such a teacher! Keep it up and keep posting! Tom

Thanks for the explanations Marcel. Really nice to see this one come forth since it's similar to tubes. You get to keep this one? The two tubes I made so far were gone so fast I had no chance to bring them out in daylight for photoshoot. I would have liked to keep em at least a day or two to just sit back and watch them for a while. Tom

Very nice Storm! Tom

Supernice Marcel! As I said before it has some resemblence to the rod tubes I've done but you also have choosen my favourite colour scheme so my mouth is watered and I feel like trying to do one but not anytime soon though. Got my hands full. What did you use on the inside to keep the shape and did you/ are you going to use a liner on the inside. Cue cases seem to be really thoroghly lined and with different compartments I think. That part seem a bit boring to me but it sure gives a nice end result. Simple and nice solution to where the D-rings for the strap is hooked up. Is the top piece of the cap wetmolded to shape before putting it together? Like to see close-up there aswell as one showing how you stitched the piece around the handles. Tom

Well I'm home from work now so I can join in for some and off course one or two *zip* ah that was good, now for number two... Tom

Nice, I really like how you went about with all those small silhouetted wolf desing and the paw print between them. Looks great. Nice buckle wolf too! Tom

Yeah, FISH ON Storm! Tom

Simple but beautiful and also that piggyback knife draws alot of attention so it just doesn't need alot of fancy stuff. Nice work as usual! Tom

You made it so far and by looking at your homepage one can just say BRAVO I'd like to say much more but gotta rush to work so a big to you Tom! Tom

Thanks Carr! We love good internet finds! Tom

Definetly a flyfishermans must have! The retention cord is a nice touch and adds a lot to it. Gotta love that metal fitting too. Tom

Very nice! That boy will be happy! Tom

Seems just like you're very gifted with artwork and one wonders just what you could NOT do with your hands. Awsome work! Tom

Yeah, what's that site? I tryed to trace pattern like you did but had no succes with it. Maybe it depends on what type of screen used. I use only crt screens. Just bought myself a cheap laser B/W for printing patterns and documents and I worked with Photoshop for some years so I have a good solution now, even though not the cheapest but I do need the printer for documents too so now I got rid of those expensive jet toners. Tom

Oh WOW! Really like the look on this one. Smooth. Skull looks great and off course the rest too. Nice colour scheme. Customer will be really happy with this one. Tom

Great seats David! You know I love those birdies. Very nice and consistent line on those stars. Tom

hey Bro your posts are starting to look like some of my lengthy ones;-) Good looking floral stuff. It sure feels good to once in a while to step out of the web and explore, learn, create. Tom

Sweet! Tom

Wow Linda! That's alot of masks and beautiful too. Think I like the dragon one best. Stunning! Good luck at the exhibit! Tom

Hi andwelcome Andy! I'm sure you'll be able to find answers to your questions here. This place is has a very openminded atmosphere and nice members. Tom

Absolutely fabolous! The scrollwork is so nice and all those little details, braiding, brass fitting and the coloured strap. Definetly a design that stands the test of time. Tom

Looks great so I just agree with Alex, picky picky but it's a good thing to be just that. Basketweave looks nice and even, I admire that but then again, my stamp doesn't sit flat so very difficult. Craftools are just great with that;-) (getting 'em f up) Tom

Very nice! I reeally like the sheath on the first knife and that fishing motif is so nice. Wish I had time to go fishing or look at the eagles. Tom

Hi and welcome Russinchico! Irfanview is a small free program that can help you resizing your pics, if that's what you need. Tom

Way to go Lnut! Looking really good. I have that skull design traced to transfer actually. Just never gotten around to do it. Nice first one and I'm sure you make more. Tom
