OUTSTANDING !!!!! That looks awesome .

I won't be much help , as a carpenter for most of my life I can only tell you add no more weight than you have to . For me the best thing they ever did was add the clip on the side of drills , no more need for a holster. Electricians may have other needs ? Good luck

Nicely done !!!

Looks good and should be easy on the joints

For 2 tone I would brush the lighter color on all of it and then using something like this hit the high spots with the black . Be sure to dab the black off onto paper towel before going to the hide , you can control the amount better. This is just a small piece of hardwood wrapped inside . If you want the ( secondary knobs ) lighter like I understood you to begin with , I would use a very small brush and resist them before applying anything , them same as above . This is how I would go about it but I haven't ever done one

I had look that up to .

Just a thought but canvas coated with clear epoxy might work ? The epoxy might be too far from natural for your needs .

That is very nice !!!!! She should be well pleased , good luck to the both of you at the market !!!

Looks very nice ! Also looks like a LOT of hand stitching

Thanks and my money is on you , I am betting you'll give it a go Thanks , I am the same ( not that anyone would want to copy something I did ) way in fact . I figure if somebody does , I may learn a better way to do it .

Well , Chuck's roses inspired me to try this but I am almost afraid to post it after todays discussion on copying others ideas ( but I did make my own pattern from scratch ) Nowhere in the same ballpark as Chuck's but it's a start . I think that brown stuff is dried dip that I didn't see before I took the pics....... Please excuse

Braver than me , I won't hardly click on a link but I am old and untrusting

Flashlight is like your pants .... don't leave home without it I use the pocket clip BUT yours is a great idea !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I looked at the link and read the same but I did see a contact number a person could call and maybe get info on where they are made . I am like you from just reading it was not clear to me .

Not in the same ballpark but when I make these arrowheads , I glue the blanks up and then when dry work the edges like Chuck said . Cut, shape , sand, and burnish . I am betting the the edges up top sre done much the same . my $ 00.02

Playing around some more . It's a different look .....

Yes Sir , that covers it really well . I searched J D sewing machine tractor and then clicked on the image tab ...... unreal !

Bullets ,feathers , and snake skin ................................................ my kinda hat band

Very nice !

If only they had used " yellow " on the wheels That is 9.5 outa 10 on thinking outside of the box !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great , I bet retention is quite good also .

What works for me is to tip the beveler back to me and move it about 1/2 of its width . By tipping it back you create a slope away from you and by just using 1/2 the width I can " walk " it pretty good . Hope that helps

Nice design and execution !!!!! Like the Pastor I often lose money on work for friends but it will all even out down the road

I can't speak for @YinTx or @spacedog if you were asking them . But what I have done here is cut with a swivel knife except for the shape of the coaster which is also cut by hand , just a different knife .
