TomSwede Report post Posted September 4, 2009 Hi all!! With a separation comes lifechanges and dealing with them takes time and efforts so productivity is not high but pickin up speed now. I have had alot of social activities and starting to make changes within my social network. Funny part is that I suddenly have a bunch of friends in Swedish capitol Stockholm and all because of my leatherwork. Working with a few heavy metal bands has rendered invites to release partys for their albums, concerts and last but not least a membership in a cool bikerclub. Here's a few snaps of what I've got done lately. Northvegr bracer is a replica of the one I did last year for Northvegr bike clubs president. The 300C Hemi bracer got a problem with the silver coming off during the buffing. I sealed the silver with leathersheen first and then applied leatherbalm on surrounding areas. My guess is that the balm smeared out onto the silver during buffing and caused the sheen to dissolve somehow. Two more of the five set Finnish belts was Done. Liveshots of the strap I did for DIE HARD. It's great to see your stuff in action and hear how happy he was with it. Besides all this my regular papermill job has kept me pretty occupied and I had a four week long period in July-August that I was ill and were very exhausted from that.
