Got to say. JLS has supplied and continues supply free patterns for his work and gives freely of his time and advice. When I first started leather work JLS was a huge and positive influence for me on this site and in the chat room when it was operational.

A steady hand and good brushs! Great job -

I really like how you did the retention straps. And it never hurts to have them even if you don't think you will need them!

Thanks Mike. For sure it's a dance between the pop and flat! Good to know I'm on the right track as that was what I was doing. Raise and form and smooth down. Thanks for the advise folks. Much appreciated !
