DoubleC Report post Posted May 18, 2012 Today I finished my dog Skadi's collar and did an inlaid eye. It took me two days to do the collar because I kept using her old one to measure things with and she kept wanting it back. On the inlaid eye things went pretty good except my 15-91 got away from me as you'll see. Baby's got a LONG learning curve!!!! But was a fun day.

Chief31794 Report post Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Today I made a checkbook cover from scratch, used pigskin for the liner and pockets. Tomorrow I'll lace it up and take another picture of tomorrow's work. This retirement thing is tough, my problem with being retired is I don't know when I'm done each day and I found out I don't get holidays off anymore. I was thinking I would have to report back to work on holidays since my job now is to be retired. Ken Edited May 19, 2012 by Chief31794 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoubleC Report post Posted May 19, 2012 Wow all cool stuff. Didn't get to see the pyro but Luke your handle is cool, and I'm on my way with Mike and I'll even bring a few beers. Aaron that is so cool that you're teaching at TLF. I don't do anything worth teaching YET and don't have a TLF here but have offered to do a very basic class at the local MH facility across the street using some kind of Tandy kits for the people that sign up. Everyone had good days as did I. Always it seems like when leather is involved! Cheryl Chief I'm sorry I just got up and forgot your beautiful wallet. I started a checkbook cover before I went to sleep, and I am on disability so I know what you mean when you forget to take any days off, they do start running together.

Thanks DoubleC, This is the finished checkbook, I finished it in the shop today. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted May 19, 2012 That's gorgeous. My checkbook cover I'm working on needs serious help which a friend is going to do tonight. I found a horse pic online that had a pretty easy outline to cut out because I want to do another inlay for more practice. Outline, true enough but I didn't think about the negative space and my horse looks crippled at best. I was going to sand the cut marks now it's completely dry but going to wait and see exactly what my friend suggests tonight before I touch another thing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoubleC Report post Posted June 23, 2012 Today I made a train overlay for my next guitar strap. As usual, it started out one direction in my head and ended up a little different after it was a object I could hold and see. But any day with leather in my hands is a good day.......Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoubleC Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Pretty innovative if ya ask me. I made a key fob, my first, and didn't use a pattern so it won't go down in the annals of leatherwork history, LOL but was a for a friend's brother. Also worked some on a guitar strap I'm making that I hope gets waved at the annals Or at least turns out really nice. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
