    the chisel spacing will be the same as your lace width as well as from the edge of each piece...the edges of leather side and top should match up square...punch your holes in both and what i do is use bread bag twist ties...match up your holes and use a twist tie every 10-12 holes or less pending to keep your two pieces and holes lined up & braid away...

    glad ya diggit leatherhead!!...hopefully it'll get the same positive feedback wearin it around & generate some business ;0)

    the good words are no doubt appreciated Excell!!...to answer your question, no i don't feel any of the hardware thats visable or under the padding & lining...especially with the padding, the eyelets counter sink into the liner etc...so that keeps them from directly touching/rubbing the skin...all in all it just feel smoooooth wearing it :dance:

    much'o thanks andy!!...the contrast texturing was one of those things i just kinda fell into during the process and simply rolled with it ;0)

    glad it gets your stamp of approval mr. tommy boy!!...ya know i didn't think of the water thingy but now that you mention it...i know exactly what you mean by it...how a thin wash of water will react on glass sometimes...the burst worked out well for this...hard to decide at first how much light to dark fade to do...and at first i thought :oops: its too dark of a transition but now that its done...i'm happy with it and seems balanced in that way...

    i can see pros & cons to lining/padding these...so prolly make them both ways...

    no worries brudda tom & i'll catch a few of those toothy gators for ya real soon :devil:

    can you lay the bracer flat and photo it from above so i can see the contour of the edges....i am curious in the pattern layout.....i like seeing all these diffrent bracers....I been making straight lined ones and trying to understand the patterns used by people....It takes me a while to process stuff like that....anyways it would be nice to see..

    heres the pic of the back where ya can get the gist of the contour...

    i figured i'd join the bracer club and finally make one...the background has obviously tommy's influence of course...then i modified a regular cuff patten to make this 2.5" bracer...this prototype i made for myself to wear...its fully lined and padded...i just laced it the way it is for the pic to hold it the way i wanted...i don't have any round lace at the moment & the boot lace had to do for now...

    well that certainly is a quite the purdie burdie bob!!...love the flow of it all :dance: especially how you curled the feathers like ferns into the main body and over lapped some in places...i can see that a project like that would = no coffee for me that day :rofl:

    heya josh...i believe sheathes is correctly spelled "sheaths" without the "e"...like month as a plural, its spelled months not monthes...if my english is correct the word "sheathes" is an action...example; the deer hunter sheathes his knife after gutting the deer...

    an idea also is maybe to take a clean picture of your real maker stamp in leather and crop it then paste it on your card instead of the line drawing...also i'm not really crazy about the font, especially using it for your company title...i don't have a suggestion without looking at others right of hand...but just not the one i'd pick myself...i think the font/lettering makes a statement...and that one honestly doesn't give me the "professional" first impression...but thats just my opinion ;0)...then finally if you go with that exact layout i'd center your number under your name...okay thats it & my 2 cents bud lol
