rcsaddles Report post Posted August 7, 2009 Those look great. I have been wanting to do a Bible Cover with a cross on the front with the wood grain. If mine turns out half as nice I will be happy. Again, great job. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post Posted August 7, 2009 Heey bud!! I'm impressed with the accuracy on the straight lines especially the longer border lines. Easy to fail on those since they are so near the edge. Overall look seems nice too with rounded ends and all. Good job!!! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't done a bracelet before, how do you know what length to make it (assuming your making them to sell). People have different size wrists. I guess the width can be any size up to maybe 2"?

David It doesn't take much material or time to experiment with a few on your own wrist and once you get your measurement confirmed you can use that to develop patterns for other wrist sizes from. You can also install double snaps but I prefer to make a single snap (wich I never do nowadays) because two makes it feel to bulky on the wrist. I really prefer to string my bracers when they get a little bigger and also with that method you don't have to worry too much about them not matching specific customers arm. To me stringed also looks better and I use eyelets for the stringing holes. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
