Hey guys been working on a windshield bag for a guy at work thats gonna go on his roadking.

Ill get the rest of the pics should be done today or tomorrow.

Basically used the pattern pack for the fork bag but we made a bracket and Im covering that with leather. Its gonna be black so figured I would post a couple of shots of the tooling.

I was happy with the basketweave but the screws I could of done better on I think. The dolphins were ok. Oh and for anyone that doesnt know the dolphins are what submariners get when they are finished with there qualifications. Most countries have some semplence of them for there submarine fleet.

Lookin good Madmax!!

The dolphins are very nice and the basketweave look good too. Did you see rectangles before your eyes when you went to sleep after that;-?

Lets just say I broke it up into two days of tooling. I think I need to widen my grips on my tools. My big hands dont like gripping those little stamp handles.

I have big arthritic mitts

I also have fuel line grips on my most used stamps ;0) Varied sizes of line to friction fit ove the tool handle - let's me loosen my grip on it a bit while stamping and not so much cramping etc after

Hairspray on the stamp handle will help ya slide tight fuel line over it and acts like glue once it dries ;)
