Contributing Member UKRay Posted October 11, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted October 11, 2009 It doesn't seem very long since you were making your first few belts and wondering where the next bit of leather was coming from... Don't things change! Nice work, Josh. I particularly like your snake inlay. I'm fooling around with some at the moment and can't get it to lay properly. I think I'll drop round for some lessons.

Members CitizenKate Posted October 11, 2009 Members Report Posted October 11, 2009 Nice smooth edges, clean lines, and do I see a bit of airbrushing going on there, too? Hey, question: what are you using to clip on the cell phone, and how did you go about attaching it? Kate Quote
Hilly Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 Josh, your work is looking very professional! The case with the snake inlay is absolutely over the top! Keep up the great work! Quote
Timd Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 Wait, you made the hat too????? Now that IS cool! Quote
Members Storm Posted October 11, 2009 Members Report Posted October 11, 2009 Josh you kick tail! I really like the formed case with the snake skin! Very tigh and solidly Western! Quote Please keep in mind that unless I ask for anyones critique I do not want nor require same.
Members jbird Posted October 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted October 12, 2009 Kate thanks a lot yes I airbrush all my pieces I worked as a airbrush artist for a company a couple years ago. I will post some pics of the back I have a pretty cool way of attaching the spring clips.

MADMAX22 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah did a good job. I like the look of that knife sheath, it just has a cool apeal. On the wet forming did you use a press or just a block and finger/hand tool work? Came out real nice. Quote

Yes, I would very much like to see that. I've been trying to make a cell phone holster very similar to the one you have made (except without that classy inlay), and I am kinda stumped on how to get the spring clip installed without making it really difficult to stitch the body together.

Ambassador leatheroo Posted October 12, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted October 12, 2009 these are really great...thanks for the pics Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot
Members Somawas Posted October 12, 2009 Members Report Posted October 12, 2009 Those are really nice. Did you make that knife, too? I've been looking for a knife made along those lines. Quote
Members TTcustom Posted October 12, 2009 Members Report Posted October 12, 2009 Josh, Wow really nice work all the way around! Just awesome. The airbrush work is exactly what I have been wanting to do on my upcoming saddle project, sort of a Gibson guitar sunburst effect. I have played with the block dying but that hasn't given me what I am looking for. Time to fire up the compressor and practice practice with the air brush i guess. I can only hope to get near the same results as you. Really beautiful work Josh Looking forward to seeing how you did the clip too. Oh and hey can we see just the knife out of the sheath? I do a little of that kind of stuff too.

Members jbird Posted October 13, 2009 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2009 Tim Thanks for the kind words and input. as for the air brushing I cant say enough about how it makes all the difference in a piece of work.
