  1. here is the first bag I made. I thought this was the schizzel at the time plus side. I designed it and I like the design negative. it is 9 oz and the stitches look like poo
  2. wrap what you just did up place a large petal just about a 1/4'' higher than the bud wrap with string/thread. place another same height over lap by half. this is where you glue the over laps as you go continue on till you run out of 15 petals then trim and fit that pestal over your tie. make you some leaves attach them. this should be enough info to get you there. this one is going to be yellow with a blue over spray hoping for a hybrid look
  3. I wanted to show you how to get started, This is demonstration only, the leather has been cut and that is all grab the 6 petals roll one up and tie it to a stick place the others as shown, wrapping with string each petal. 6 oz or less. this is using up my scrap

  19. I learned a trick from watching Tony {dieselpunkro] Videos lay a piece of see through paper tape over your pattern or * leather rub wax on the tape and the punch poop does sticks very little * will not hurt your leather
  20. This money clip I made has a story that goes with it This is a piece of type K 3/4'' copper pipe cut open and pounded flat with some 1/4'' nuts soldered to it. I carried this in my pocket for over a year My wife was in he hospital and I spent my days at her side, I was sitting in the chair and this cross was in my hand.The Hospital preacher stop by and asked if we like to have a prayer with him. we talked awhile then as he was leaving I felt compelled to hand him this old homemade cross. The preacher accepted it slipped it in his pocket and left. The next day as I was getting on the elevator, The preacher got on. He said thank you again for the copper cross, i told him AW Man, No problem i make stuff like that all the time. It just felt like it wanted to be in your pocket instead of mine. The preacher said I mean it, You helped me more than you know. He said that he was having personal problems and was thinking of leaving the church all together. But as he looked at my cross he felt that his faith was restored and made the decision to stay So .Being a Christian, [not the best, but a work in progress] It makes me wonder. I know Jesus works through us to help others. So. Did he send my wife to the hospital so that I could meet the preacher to help him come back to his flock? Or was it just a chance meeting?
  21. Thank you.
