Frodo's topic got me to thinking . ( DANGEROUS ) is what the wife calls it . Our daughter works at a library , the employee entrance is out of sight and a little secluded . Now they always close up and leave in pairs ( never just a single person ) but in a bad situation seconds matter and the buddy might not be able to do much . God forbid anything ever did happen being able to make someone turn her loose might give her the few seconds she needed to get to her car . She has options in the car . This to the throat or eye of a well grown man will more than likely make him turn loose . Worn around her neck it is just a tool she uses to straighten out bent bindings on books !! No harm no foul per any regulations . Folks it is a mean ole world we live in , keep your head up and always be thinking !! Yes is just a slicker but it fits in the hand or fist nicely .

No , I am tooling first then let dry completely , then wet the outside 5/8's inch and form over 4" PVC pipe. @Samalan All very good points and just the tips I need to get better, Thank you .

OUTSTANDING !!! That is FINE AS FROG HAIR

Congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!

@Samalan Thank you ! Last one in this batch

Pics would be nice , I am not bad to open stuff either . I suffer from Pandora's box syndrome

NICELY DONE !!!!!!

" high tech " is good

Next box ..... just some basket weave

Exodus 20:5 I am referring to a image that I thought was meant to offer hope and to assure that God's love was always within reach . I may be mistaken and if so will answer on that day for it .

OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does kind of make you wonder when there was no more " shock value " , puts todays world in prospective I guess . Very nicely done Sir

Nice !!! I know we work in leather but a paracord Monkey's fist with a golf ball in place of a steel ball would slide right on through . My have to let security think it's a key chain or a closure for an umbrella or part of a purse . Maybe not as brightly colored as the one in this video . Just one more option

Thank you Sir ! @Stewart Thank you , the permanent marker works better than I thought it would . The color crown is going to remain yours as I don't see myself doing much of this . I haven't the patience !!!!! I have a few different religious things I do , crosses , dove of peace , and am trying to figure the best way to do the Hand of God .

That is cool and thinking outside of the box

Very NICE !!! I like that camo stamp

@chuck123wapati That's great !! I can't wait to see those hides if ya keep them and turn them to stuff @doubleh Thank you ! I can see your point when folks do it to try and pass new stuff off as old , other than that I like the look of old . I have to look at it every morning in the mirror

Now that I look closer I see it is silver , still looks " slick "

Thank you ! Thank you Sir !! Did you get the winters meat ? It will stay and if someone was worried they could use a little glue , but as you say it is not going to see any hard use . 2 1/2 " high and 4 " diameter ( mostly for jewelry , keys , potpourri, some ladies use it for face powder .

Thank you !! It is if you cheat like I do . This method is just faster and easier to me , I made a mess out of box stitching one or two so had to come up with something . Saddle stitch the ledger to the side while flat , then stitch up the ends . Bottom is just a tight friction fit .

@Stewart Thank you Sir ! But that is all dye except the leaves , those are permanent marker . I like the aged look of it as well ,now just to remember how I did it LOL !

Looks like good execution on the tooling just not my cup of tea . But that is why we have Chevy and Fords

Looks good !!! The black with white stitching is cool and the hardware really makes it pop .I carry a wheel gun but not many do any more . Your buddy should be very happy with that !!!!!!

Here is the first one , I'll add the others as I get them done . Thanks for looking !!
