Looks damn good to me!! I don't know anything about beading but this makes me want to learn how to do it!! Beautiful work!
-
Thank you. Its something that I'm leaning more towards, but affording it...well that's gonna take some doing so it'll probably be a while. If only I could see "small imperfections" lol
-
Thanks. Making these certainly opened my eyes to how an engraver would be useful! Can I ask WHY you have THREE?? The thought of getting one gives me anxiety lol.
-
Thank you. I can't take any credit for the design though it's their artwork I just tried to copy it so it looked good. You see variations I see mistakes,lol, but I'll try and see it from your point for now on. Variations are a way better way of looking it things. Thank you for pointing that out, I feel kind of stupid for not seeing it that way myself...

I made a few appointment books for a new tattoo studio( full disclosure, two of the three co-owners are my daughters) made tattoo machines that slip on the pencils, just because that was the "vision" I had in my head when I thought of it. I'm not a huge fan of doing multiples, simply because I feel lucky if I can get one thing to look good, let alone more than one to be identical. New shop will of course have new keys so made each of them a keychain as well. To be honest the whole thing made me think about lazer engraving. I kind of don't feel like it's "cheating" anymore just a different tool. If it ever comes down to being able to get one, I might just remake them so that I feel that they are good and not just good enough. Thanks for looking

I'm a little lost with these disks, tbh, I honestly thought it was the rings (like the ones you see on the inside of a day planner) that were showing. Kinda of curious how that all comes into play and works. Sorry if this is a dumber question than I already think it is

Thank you. I drew out the grid pattern on the plywood, and started laying out the pattern. Yep, each square is a separate piece. I left room for the boarder but instead of trimming at the end of the board I "attempted" to wrap it around the side to the bottom to cover the ugly wood edge. I say attempted because it was all done freehand and the corners aren't exactly even and perfect so it still looks a little wonky.

Pretty much, lol, but it will probably just end up sitting on a shelf or something
-
Thanks. Nope, lol, just finished it this morning

Thank you. Simplejack1985 originally posted about it, read his post, it would make more sense then I could. Thanks again Thank you

I found out about this from the post here and decided to take a shot at it. Tooling is one of my many not great at aspects, obviously, lol. Overall I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Wallets are not something I tend to make a whole lot of, because I don't like how they come out, so why would anyone else? ( just the way my mind works) BUT that being said I'm never going to get better at making them if I don't make them. Anyway it's too late to get it entered and tbh I don't know if I'd have the fortitude to enter it even if I had the chance??
-
Thanks. Idk how well I'll do but I'm gonna try!

I've been wanting to make a chess board for quite awhile, and its nowhere near perfect, but the next one will be better. I found a crappy piece of plywood laying around in the basement and started with that. Should have actually sanded it but I didn't. I didn't think it would be as bumpy as it is since I thought the leather would level it out. Nope. My squares didn't come out as "square" as they should have but it's for me and I can live with it as is. Had to do some trimming after the squares were laid and well now everything isn't square. Anyway just wanted to share, thanks for looking

Thank you. She doesn't like it lol, but I'm holding her tight!
-
Thank you! Having her asking me if she was going to die is the worst thing I've ever been through!! I hope nobody else ever has to go through that Thank you again Thank you sir! I did attempt to add some "body" to the body in the next couple that I'm working on. Damn it's tough being a rock lol
