I didn't do any work on Sunday or monday since I worked saturday...need time with the kids sometime....and my Honey Do list:) Unless I have a rush motorcycle going to a big show or magazine shoot, I don't work weekends...except sometimes....I try not to anyway...I did get some work on the Jinx Proof cat done this morning at 6:30-7:30 before I ran off to my Finnish language course I am now taking on top of my crazy work load...hahahaha no rest for the weary and never to late to learn a new language! Bad lighting on the pic...but there you go. Quote
Members PL01 Posted February 28, 2012 Members Report Posted February 28, 2012 Sorry about that, I was forgetting people have a life outside of leather Jinx Proof Cat is looking good, and I take it the bevelling was done with that swivel beveller. It's no good, I gotta get one. Toivotan teille onnea koulutyötä, Suomen kieli ei ole helppoa. Quote My Gallery

Members Cyberthrasher Posted February 29, 2012 Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 I know! I am having trouble keeping in all my excitement! And it is going to be a fine line between over doing it and just the right amount. F' Brian Setzer...I am making it something I would drive...hahahahha Just kidding I love the Stray Cats! But here is one of my vids so you know where I am coming from...Sixgun Republic Love it man! Makes me want to go pick up one of my babies and get some tubes overheating. With general chaos at work, family, and this leather stuff, I've hardly played anything in almost a year. Anybody ever tell you that first one has a cool kind of Danzig sound to it in your voice?

Members chancey77 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 Ok here is 3 more hours of work on the door panels, I got theFord - D finished...I have to tell ya, doing pinstripes in this style of stipe is a heck of a challenge to bevel! Those of you who don't know ther is 3 main style of pinstriping, this logo is made up of all 2...because if we are going to do it and pinstripers are going to be seriously checking this out,; then we might as well throw a wrench in their brain as well... Every letter has its own weird stuff going on, so this is one heck of a mind bender! How do you bevel straight lines.."reverse beveling" ....I figured it out; but WOW my brain hurts! hahaha I had to take a break away from it for a while, so I started the crown and the Eagle as well...there is going to be so many more pieces, but like i said, at least it is a start....

Members Cyberthrasher Posted February 29, 2012 Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah, I can see the confusion you had on that one. It's looking great though. There's some stuff I might normally consider a mistake, but I know how well you remedy that stuff in the process. It's a lot different taking single line designs and transferring them to an inherently 3D medium. I need to get back to striping one of these days but just can't focus long enough to pull a straight line when I'm on painkillers. I'm getting ready to do some scroll style "striping" designs on a tiny eyeglass case for my daughter (smallest work I've done so far) - we'll see how bad my brain hurts when I'm done. Probably similar to figuring out which side to do on torn flesh. Quote hellhoundkustoms.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/hellhoundkustoms www.etsy.com/shop/HellhoundKustoms
Members chancey77 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Ok 1 more hour and I am done for the day...night whatever:) I finished knifing out the Ford logo, now I just need to Bevel out the rest of the letters:) Here you can really see the biggest difference between beveling and not beveling! I over sharpened my knife today, and I need to spend some time dulling it back down a bit, or flatten out the edge and start over...I thought I would try my diamond sharpener on the hollow ground S.K., but I am not real happy with the results, they are great for my other knifes, but I think it isn't right for the swivel knife....again back to old school basics:) But I am out of Rouge, which is why I used the diamani...I cleaned the other day and can't find my ready strop anywhere...I think it might have gone to the trash accidentally! AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Edited February 29, 2012 by chancey77 Quote
Members Cyberthrasher Posted February 29, 2012 Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 NEVER CLEAN (says the guy that's in the process of cleaning his own shop). It's looking better and better every time. I'm just highly anticipating everything you're going to do to tie them all together. Now, imagine if you had to hammer out all those bevels.....
