BearMan Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Posted May 1, 2009 Hi All, Thanks for all the wonderful compliments!! They inspire me to do better with each & every project!! Josh, You're right I forgot to give the size, it's 4" x 8 3/4". Yes, I made the liner. & Yes, Ray, the liner took almost as much time to make as the outside. The inside of the Credit Card pockets are made out of Tyvek, House Wrap, or the un-tearable shipping envelopes from the Post office. I'm not suggesting that You get them from the Post office, but it's the same material. Tyvek, fold & creases very nice, & it dyes Very well with Spirit dyes, to match your project. As far as the design goes, I did have some Very good suggestions from Bob, to help me with the final design. Thanks Bob, You knew exactly what I needed! CraftsMan, I wouldn't say that the carving is exceptionally deep,,, I always,,, well usually carve somewhere between 1/2 to about 2/3 the thickness of the leather. Alot of the time, it may look deeper than that because of the use of petal lifters, & matting. Bree,,,, Hmmm maybe the next time we have a Pay it Forward on here,,,, I may just do something like that! Thanks to Everybody not mentioning my wiggly sewing machine lines on the liner. I need LOTS more practice on that Devil machine!! hehehe Thanks Again,,, Ed the"BearMan" Quote Ed the"BearMan" polarb1717@aol.com Beary: BearMauls@yahoo.com http://tinyurl.com/BearMauls "The Best tooling mauls available today!"
gtwister09 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Ed, It looks good and you received a great compliment on your edges from the "Edge" man. The one thing that looks a little out of place with the rest of the wallet is the stitching. It looks to be a little heavy. Good work... Regards, Ben Quote
BearMan Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Posted May 2, 2009 You're right Ben, I wound up doing 6 per inch, I would usually do 8,,,, but the "Gremlins" must be hiding that spacing wheel. Yes, I feel very honored, to have Bob, compliment me on the edges. His edges are always impeccable! There for a while I had tried a wooden motorized burnisher, but as you can see, I do alot better with my ol' canvas cloth.
