@Frodo that is thinking outside box

Brilliant idea !!!!!!! You know an adjustment to size and invert it , might make a flower pot wrap.................

@chuck123wapati Thanks you and they should be useful for some other things .

Excellent idea about the arrangement !!!! and the airspace

Nice work Chuck and I like the modeled look !! Now don't shoot all of those at one elk Good luck

@Dwight Really nice set up !!!!

I may be wrong but I think dry leather is a poor conductor of heat but always be careful and do your own research and test . And @SUP be sure if you do make some wraps please post some pictures , I love pictures

@SUP The " rim " idea is a good one .As to the pattern it is just one I came up with so nothing fancy but here it is as best as I can explain . First picture is of it on a 1/2 inch grid if that is how you work . Second picture is my attempt at describing it . I used a 50 something year old tin class method of drawing mine , but a quick search on the U tube yielded a few ways . If you go the math route , diameter x 3.14 , the small arc is 4 5/8 but I made mine 4 7/16 for a tight fit. For me the lay-out and step method is easier and works just fine . The only thing I think this guy did that might not work is start with the larger arc and for my use I started with the short arc as it the critical dimension 1 1/2" , base can vary some ( larger or smaller ) Hope some of this helps .

Valid concerns @YinTx for sure !! These have around a 125 degree melting point and I have no idea what the flash point is. We have always " ringed " new container candles to get a better burn , doing so seems to change how they melt ( burns more straight down ) . Most times the wick will fall over before the sides melt . While we don't ever leave them unattended being cautious is NEVER a bad thing and Thank you for calling me on it .

Thanks folks ! Wife said she'd take 6 dark ones and 6 lighter ones .

Very Nice !!!

With no real project to work on my mind starts grinding . Wife has a bunch of these Tealight candles around the house sooooooooooo Friction fit and baseball stitch up the back , now I have a project

@Handstitched Excellent ideas and Thank you !

It says if you don't know where to put it ......... put it here . I am always thinkin about different things to make out of leather , so I come up with some "off the wall " stuff. May run this by the local florist and see if she thinks she could do some dry flower arrangement and maybe sell a few . About the right size for a entry way of maybe a small bath , just a little decoration kind of . You may be able to tell........ I skipped the first few days of floral arrangement class LOL !

Looks outstanding !!! Very nice solution to overcome barrel length problem

Nice !!!!! I am sure it will be much appreciated .

OH it works , we have a local store that has a " Going Out of Business Sale " twice a year !!!!!! When they are not going out of business their prices are about 10 or 15 percent cheaper AND morons still fall for it every time .

Classy !!!!! well done

As always ..... OUTSTANDING on both blades and leather !!!!!!!!!!!!!

See this is why I will never make a business man . I will not justify MY price for something I made to anyone ! Price = take it or leave it ............. seems so simple Chances are good that if they know leatherwork price will make their mind up , if they don't know then anything I say will fall on X-Mart ears .

Not being a fan of horror movies I had to look Chucky up and it looks like you nailed it . I bet little man will love it !

Very nice !!!!! I am with your son , I like the double stitch a little more .

Nice work !!!

Absolutely !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice job .

Very Nice !!! The pivots really make these comfortable . I use 5 oz for the strap and also connect with Chicago screws to let these be pivots as well , just kind of molds to the wearer .
