ETW Grumpy Report post Posted April 4, 2008 I think I posted some or all of these pre-crash, but I thought I'd do it again. All of this work was done before my accident. My tooling hasn't quite made it back to this level yet. Got a couple more that I want to post, but I have to resize them first. Thanks for looking. All constructive criticism is welcome.

TomSwede Report post Posted April 4, 2008 Hey Grumpy, that chopper wallet is awsome. Me like alot! The flames on the first ones looks real slick aswell and those celtic dogs looks just as good. Neat thing with the corner designs on that one 'cuz I think celtic (and viking) designs has a tendency to look a bit naked since original celtic, viking designs often (as we see them today in reproduction and often on archeological artefacts) are adapted to the shape of whatever they sit on. I've tried to draw some designs myself and it's too difficult for me (to keep the lines going one over one under with no exceptions). Nice work and hope your tooling get's back to ya'! Didn't know yo were in an accident, sorry to hear! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Report post Posted April 4, 2008 I vote for the Celtic too - Grump, how about a shot of the interior of the wallet - my next job is a wallet, and I'm trying to get ideas for the pockets Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ETW Grumpy Report post Posted April 4, 2008 Ken, thanks for the encouragement. Swede, The chopper wallet is one of my favorites too. The flames on the first one were a real pain in the butt. The orange piece is an inlay behind the wallet back, then the guy wanted stitching around the flames. Lots o' hand stitching. Didn't know if you noticed, but the rivets and grommet on the Celtic one are brass that I distressed because the customer wanted it to match his grunge bike. Ian, I don't have a shot of the inside of that wallet. I either did one plain pocket of mission grain pigskin on each side or used a Tandy premade inside. Can't remember which. MadTailor, I didn't know you had migrated over here. Good to hear from you. Thanks for the compliments. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
