    Thank you for the compliment Tom and your right a darker lace does work better. I thought the black was too much and the natural color was too little so I went with something in the middle. Tom

    Hi Singteck I use the Buckle back-ring hook from Tandy. You can get the whole thing from them. I tried cutting my own leather blanks for the buckle but then decided it was easier just to buy the whole thing. Thank you for your compliments it means alot to me. Tom

    I had a request from a fellow Vet for a couple of buckles to match a tatoo he got in Viet Nam. One for him and one for his son who is in the military now. Gonna use a lace to match the background color so it doesnt draw your eye from the center of the buckle. I want the focus on the middle. Tom

    Thanks guys. Your comments mean alot to me. I had alot of fun making this one so I'm gonna do it again. I think the belt loop needs to be double stitched on the back. Also I just ordered the Glock 22 replica so I can try my hand at those too. Thanks again. Tom

    Here's one I made using the tutorial. I made plenty of mistakes but thats what the learning process is all about, I guess. I goofed up trying to post this so if it shows somewhere else, OOPS. Tom

    Yep, your hooked. There's no hope for you now. Your every waking moment will be cosumed by thoughts of leather. I plan to hit the sale also. Tom

    Nice horse. Well, nice everything. I like the way you cut the figure out. I'm still trying to improve my horse work before I try it on a project. Tom

    Little dog

    carr52 posted a topic in Figure Carving

    Well I'm still practicing with the animals. Here's my dog. I dont really have a dog but if I did he would look like this. OK maybe not. I'd just have a mutt from the pound. Tom

    Thanks Troy, I need all the help I can get when it comes to drawing. youtube has some "really" strange stuff. Tom

    I agree, great looking bag very clean lines. My kind of bag. I really like the stitching. is there another peice of leather on the inside of the seam? Tom

    Thanks Windy. When you say match the jaw line it does give him a more sinister look. Thanks again. Tom

    I've made so may of these Dragons that I just had to try and use one of them on something so I made a cigar case. Tom

    OK, I gave it a little rounder jaw/mouth line. I even had one that looked like Jay Leno's chin. Tom
  21. carr52
    Thank you Tasha. Yep it needed more chin. Here it is with a little more. I kept the same eyes cause I wanted him to have an angry look. The first drawing with the new chin came out looking like Peter Fonda so I redid it and heres what I have now. Tom

    The only dumb question is the one not asked. I heard that somewhere. Tom
  23. carr52
    It's suppose to be a pirate with a rag wrapped around his head. It just doesn't look right to me. Maybe the lower jaw needs to be bigger. It's the first time I've ever tried to draw one. I opened the mouth up a little on the second one to make the teeth easier to work. Any and all comments welcomed. Or should I say needed. Tom OOPS. Stuck the wrong one in. Here's number 2TomBoy did I screw that post up or what?Tom

    I just ordered the Blue gun for the Gov. 1911 so it looks like we're both going to try this for the first time. I'm not sure how I'll go about it but I just like trying new projects. Tom
