DwightT Report post Posted December 22, 2023 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. /dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 3 hours ago, Hags said: I think that looks pretty nice!

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. /dwight Edited December 22, 2023 by DwightT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
