Some time back somebody posted some photos of some tooling weights that he had done.  I liked the idea of having something to keep my projects from sliding around on the slab while I'm walking the beveler or shader, so I decided to make myself one.  Plus it would give me an opportunity to do some wet molding (something I don't have much experience with), along with a chance to try out the air-brush that I got a while back.  I still need to work on my molding technique (and associated stitching), but for something that will just live on my workbench, I'm happy with it.

Looks awesome! Nice floral work! 

May I ask what you used for weight media? Shotshell pellets? 

Thanks.

Nice tooling, stamping and color. I really need to get started on one , I keep putting it on the back burner. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.  My late wife loved roses,  so I've kind of adopted that as my goto when I don't know what else to do.  

As for the weight,  I went out to my junk bin in the garage and pulled out a bunch of old nuts and bolts.  After 40+ years of collecting that stuff it was good to finally use some of it for something.

Time to get to it.  I kept putting it on the back burner too,  but I finally got tired of chasing my projects around the slab. Time to just get er done.
