I'll ask him for you today! He is going to be at the Boston Tandy Store today and will be teaching this evening and tomorrow..... Ya just never know!

Shirley, that looks awesome! Yeah, we all hate black, but you do it well! can't wait to see the finished product!

<Applause can be heard in the back ground> CONGRATS JOSEPH!!! Maybe we can do something like this every quarter? Everyone that donates during that quarter gets in the drawing? Dunno, just a thought....... I'd even be willing to throw something out there as a prize (although if ya use it, donations may be down for that one!!! ) That way we keep it going........ I'd definately be in every quarter! Oh, and to all that do what they do here at LW.................Thank You!

OOOOooooooo I love peeks! Can't wait to see the WHOLE thing!

WOW...... PERFECT!

Shirley, that is just AWESOME!!!! beautiful work as always! Can't wait to see it done! I just wish us darn biker types would realize that things look good NOT black too!!!!!! It's a pity to black out great tooling! You RAWK!

I agree, very classy work. I too think the tooling is top notch. Seems like the fit and finish is superb! GREAT Work!

Just wanted to bump this to the top so no one forgets. I am pretty sure we have standing room only left, but I understand that Jim loves to answer questions and the like, so all'y'all New Englanders come on down on the 6th and meet this awesome artisan!

Art, no insulation except the 8/9 oz leather! That should do for short time, how long does it take to drink a bottle of wine???? C79, pm me you email and it's all yours......

I'll find it!!!! I'll let you know as soonas I do!

Good to see you Kevin! Sorry to hear about your Dad. I know what that is like. Keep the faith and just BE THERE for him. We are here if you need us!

Brad, I think I have a pattern from an old Make it with Leather issue that details a motorcycle kidney belt. Is this kinda what you are looking for? If so let me know and I'll did it up for you! Ken

I Agree, go for it, jump in and try some small thing and work up to holsters. Check with the Tandy's in Atlanta or Chatanooga if they are close enough, I am sure they have classes and can get you started on your way! Good luck! And remember, that anything worth doing is worth doing right!

VERY NICE!!!!! Love those patterns! WOW! I surrender! Superb!

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! I really enjoyed doing this one, I may have to do more!!!! Brad, Yes I added a plug in the bottom and if you look closely, you can see the stitch lines along the bottom frame of the design. Basically just over cut a round, skived it down, cut some relief "V"s in it and sewed it in. I'll try to get a pic uploaded tomorrow of it. Mmmmmm, mead good!

My wife and I are going to a get together with some new friends this holiday weekend. Since the hosts are telling us "not to bring anything" we decided that a hand made token would be nice. I decided on the wine bottle carrier becasue they are cool Thanks to Tina for the inspiration!! a little backgraound to explain the design... 1) it's for wine 2) He is a Boat Captain 3) I like mermaids! Let me know what you think!

That FREAKIN Rocks!! Another great job Roger........ Once again, in awe!

Thanks Brad! Got it and those measurements were what I needed! This is the best place on the planet!!!!

Nicely done!!!! Your carving is improving! Work a little on walking your beveler (I know, I know!) Over all SUPERB Effort! The colors are nice!

Anyone???? Please!!!????

My wife works with a lady who wants to get her hubby a nice birthday gift, she really wants to have me make him a tank bib for his Night train, unfortunately I don't have a pattern for this one. So I am throwing it out there to see if anyonecan help me out. Thanks!

Good Luck Cecil! I hope you can get one together! I bet the guys there can get quite a few of the customers interested. My suggestion is to start with a "meeting night" and use it to break the ice, check out work and throw around ideas. Then work into a regular "guild" structure. I am getting ready to help get one going here in the Boston, Southern NH area......if you guys got any ideas that might help share them here, I bet there are many others who might want to do the same where they are!

Welcome!! Watch for low flying donuts on Tuesdays and Fridays! You work is VERY good, and luck you to have a REAL workshop. I love the look and feel of it as well! But, Like Leatheroo, I think you tidied up before the pic!!
