Contributing Member Crystal Posted June 21, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted June 21, 2008 I tried the same process as ClayM - I got CONE. At least I don't feel so bad - someone else tried it that way, too. Crystal Quote Black Dog Custom Leather
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted June 21, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Yep, I got it. Those who got the cone, you were on the right track. I'll let ClayB reveal the exact method, 'cause I know I skipped or reversed a few steps! This is great. Inspiring us to think outside the box....umm.. ring. And yes, I know mine isn't as pretty as Peter's work, but I'm happy that I figured it out.

Contributing Member ClayB Posted June 21, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 21, 2008 Yep, I got it. Those who got the cone, you were on the right track. I'll let ClayB reveal the exact method, 'cause I know I skipped or reversed a few steps! This is great. Inspiring us to think outside the box....umm.. ring. And yes, I know mine isn't as pretty as Peter's work, but I'm happy that I figured it out. Good job Mike. I haven't had time to try it out yet, but I had the exact same ideas Clay M did. Maybe that's why our mamas gave us the same name? As for revealing the method, I don't know it yet. Peter didn't tell me just like Al didn't tell him. I'd like to leave it that way, make us all figure it out for ourselves, if we can. Quote ClayB Badlands Leather Art blog Badlands Leather Art Website
Ambassador freak Posted June 21, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted June 21, 2008 No fair ! TwinOaks, You did yours on the computer. **rimshot** I pretty sure i know how this is done but that by no means, means i can do it. Quote It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow. So take a seat , the show is about to start. Check out the freakSHOW
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted June 22, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted June 22, 2008 "Knowing how is NOT the same as doing" - I grasped the concept in all of about 30 seconds. Applying that concept took more than an hour to work out the details. ClayB, I think you're right; this is something that folks need to figure out. And here's another quote, from a well liked book: "Knowledge without understanding only increases the frustration of the impatient."- L.E.Moddesitt Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."
