Roger Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 started this one today. it's a pretty good size seat for a triumph rocket 3. blistered my finger using my largest bevel! it's on the tip of the finger that i steady my bevels with when walking them. i just kept hoping it wouldn't pop while tooling.

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted March 30, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 30, 2008 VERY VERY nice looking Beeza, that's going to be one nice seat. Sorry about the blister. The "pebbler" your using, where did you get it from? Iv'e looked everywhere up here and even Tandy had no idea what I was talking about.

Ken thanks ken! this one will also have round braid the pebblers i have are from hide crafters. i really want to come up with my own pattern. some sort of modified pebbler. just not sure how i want to change it yet. i just love the texture!!

Ambassador abn Posted March 30, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 30, 2008 blistered my finger using my largest bevel! That's exactly the reason I refuse to carve my projects! If you're getting blisters, you're working too hard! :D p.s. Just a tip -- you can avoid blisters by icing your fingers every few minutes on a bottle of ice-cold beer. Of course, after a while your tooling will get sloppy and your mind will wander, but no more blisters... Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted March 30, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 30, 2008 TO THE VICTORS GO THE SPOILS...........LOVE YOUR TOOLING.AND AS ALWAYS YOU TURN OUT AWSUM WORK. HAVE YOU TRIED WRAPPING TAPE AROUND THE HANDLE OF YOUR TOOS.?OR AT ONE TIME I DID FIND A SMALL RUBBER HOSE TO PUT THE HANDLE OF THE TOOL IN. Quote Luke

TomSwede Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...that is just a fantastic looking seat! I love the shape and the tooling layout to the form and the whole tooling designing in itself look just amazing. I made a mess dying yesterday so I get nervous when seeing this all natural and beautiful and still that step remaining. Cant wait to see it finished and happy braiding!

Members Spider Posted March 30, 2008 Members Report Posted March 30, 2008 Wow Beeza this is cool. First on the blister, EEEWWWW!!!!! Ok, now on to the seat. This is either one big seat or one big arse going on it. Very cool design. Your tooling is good lookin.
