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 !!

@Simplejack1985 Thank you .

What dye did you use on the basket weave ? I LIKE that !!!

Nicely done . For the intended use the magnet was a stroke of genius

I like the ragged edge on the paper !!!

Nice , I like he green color and I'm kind of the other way on the stitches . I think the raised look adds to it and being as wear shouldn't be a concern I say skip the groove .

Don't know if this helps any but , this is how it has looked for me ever since I have been here . The topics bar has been on mine the whole time .

@Pappys Leather Got to thinking and I probably was not very clear on what I was trying to convey about the bevel on the blade . This will either be clearer or totally muddy the water , I am not known for my communication skills ! same leather and cased the same amount of time .... cut marked R was a single edge razor other marked S K is from swivel knife . I tried my best to cut with same pressure , used the same beveller again doing my best to keep every thing equal . My thinking is that the width of the "furrow " has more to do with how deep it looks than actual depth of cut ( or we would all be using scalpels ) . Cross section of blade I think makes a difference . This may all be so much hot air on my part , but I do want you to get it figured out

You are very welcome .

I think if you click on your avatar and then " view their activity " on the right side of the next page you can sse either all of your post or all topics you have started . I may not be understanding so I hope this helps .

Is your blade hollow ground ? If not I think you may be ready for a new one or at the very least a trip to the stones ..... but I may be totally wrong . Here in your pic it doesn't look like you have much bevel left , I enlarged about 300% Here is a normal picture of mine , but again they would be different if yours is hollow ground .

I didn't know that ,, I told him it was from WAY OUT in left field . As the kids say MY BAD

Great idea , I have double cut seams in other materials in the past but they were flat and large enough to really get a bite on the straight edge . I am afraid I couldn't do that on this particular item , my seam would look more like a zipper unless I could clamp it all solidly some how . Thank you and the double cut does makes for a tight seam .

Finished finally I like it and hope the guy will too . I had 2 colors of paracord to pick from , this and orange . 5 bight 3 lead Turks head

Yes , I think it would have been better to skive the ends . I just didn't think of it but will be mindful of it on future projects . At this point maybe trying to hide my misstep with a Turks head top and bottom might help ..... I'll see . I thank you for the kind words , no great work but certainly a challenge at least for me . I had done a couple of wraps before but they were on smoother more constant shapes .
