A Proper Repository

[rht]

Haven't posted in a while. Thought I would show my latest project.

A proper repository for my overly ambitious leather projects that turn out to be "just a test"

(if you get my drift) and other "oops". Okay, okay it's a wastebasket. My wife wanted

to know why I would want to do something like this. Because I had some heavy leather rolled

up in the corner that wasn't getting any younger and I thought it would be fun.

I was right - it was fun!

BTW - now she says, "your not really going to put trash in that are you?" I'll take that

as a compliment - I think.

Technical stuff. It is 12"h x 10.5"l x 7"w. It is fully lined. The lacing is 3/16" dyed to

match (almost) in single strand Mexican braid. And it has plenty of "oops" and "I wish I

done that differently's".

I know you care about the oops, but I believe you have a fine product there. I have some thick leather and have been contemplating such a project. thanks for sharing.

Exceptionally fine piece of work. Almost couldn't think of tossing trash into it. Maybe some super clean never touched paper. Love the braiding...first rate work!

I would like to thank you all for the kind words.

Now I am back to looking at my stock of leather and wondering

what project I can do now that will successfully divert my

attention away from more mundane things like yardwork and

re-tiling the bathroom.

Thank you again.

I know how you feel. Our local association just tagged me for my weeds. It sucks doing yard work after the winter months.

Good luck.
