I have several projects I am currently working on, but always like to have a "new" project lined up. I only have about 30 as of now. Can always use 1 more.

Members Gezzer Posted March 10, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2023 @PastorBob This is how I do them . Pick a form ( lid of the wife's candle ) What it measures + 1 inch ( gives around 1/2 inch turn down with 6/7 oz) Cut it out ( I used cardboard here because I haven't got a box to build right now ) I step in an inch for any tooling and mark border Do any tooling or stamping now and let dry completely . Once dry wet the flesh side with warm water 5/8 to 3/4 inch in from outside edge ( wet fairly heavy and you are ready for the form ) Quote
Members Gezzer Posted March 10, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) This how I do it. Body is 2 1/2 inches tall and around 12 5/8 long but I just put it in the lid and mark ( accounts for difference in thickness form one hide to the next ) Do any tooling now , lay out stitch lines, glue and sew the ledger , then sew ends together . Bottom is friction fit ( outside of my form works for correct size for me ) and finish as you wish . Edited March 10, 2023 by Gezzer forgot the glue for the ledger Quote

So the bottom is not sewn to sides, just friction fit?
