April 2012 Challenge

[WScott]

Ok I am in.

The kids, ahem, and certainly not me, love the Scooby Doo Wiki Tiki Mystery so mine will be something along those lines.

Not that I watch a lot of cartoons or anything

Actually, Chancy... It's 4 tools from the "BASIC 7"

Lucky 7 is a set of belt patterns.

Thanks for the trees.

I just had Lucky 7 on the brain you are soooooooo right:)

[chancey77]

Hey are you spying?

Sadly that's all I can do for a week or so.. I designed it for the 2mm leather I'm ordering, so can't do anything else until it turns up..

Is that a wallet????? COOL SHAPE!

Tiki Steam Punk??? That is a strange combo for sure! hahaha It is tiki on the inside but on the outside it is all hardcore steam punk...

You have my attention!

Or is that just basic design and you where showing different options?

I get that...and if your just being weird that is OK TO!!!!!!!!!

hahahaha lololol

Is that a wallet????? COOL SHAPE!

Yeah, well coin purse.. It's based on an idea from an idea.. I couldn't find a pattern for the cutting so I made my own up.. Hmm, looking at video again, maybe I should have allowed a bit more for the outside folds..

Tiki Steam Punk??? That is a strange combo for sure! hahaha It is tiki on the inside but on the outside it is all hardcore steam punk...

Other way around.. I'd decided on the steam punk idea for this before I started in leathercraft, it's what my very first coaster was a practice run for. The bottom of the press studs will be the axles for the cogs

I wasn't entirely sure what to put on outside.. I kinda played with the idea of the outside of the machine, but it didn't feel right.. When I saw the challenge, I thought it was perfect for the outside to give a cool looking purse with the hidden steampunk detail..

I'll have to use v gouge, hole punch and stud setter to finish it.. Are assembly tools freebies in cases like this or should I put those stages in another thread?

Absolutely NOT... you want a hole... chew through it with your teeth. You want a gouge.... draw a line and bevel it deeply.

LOL just kidding... that is up to Chancy. I would think that is beyond the 4 tool allowance, plus the freebies.

OMG now you are certainly pushing it....hahahaha

No the challenge is about carving...so after you have it all carved and show it to us!!!! Assemble it and show it here when it is done then load it up in you gallery:)

[Cyberthrasher]

Yeah, we always post the carving or whatever at that stage as the contest submission then update with the finished results.

I have some ideas rolling through my head, but nothing I've settled on yet.

[PL01]

Got mine sorted. Thought I'd try and do something with this one. It's got all the needed bits in it.

Looking at it though, there's a few things I think I'll change, we'll see.

Rats.. I should have said that.. Good excuse when my carving looks nothing like my plan..
