Photo album and registration paper binder

[Elton Joorisity]

I built these for my parents. They have been hounding me to make them something since I started. I modified tooling patterns from Capriola's to my liking and a little more to my own style. And this might sound crazy but I stamped the ranch name on the one with the brand crooked on purpose...I had to give my dad something to pick at!!

Thank you very much for the compliments. I made the beader myself. I use push beaders that I make from old creasers.

Wow these look great. I am glad you shared. Good inspiration.

Those are quite nifty ^_^ I'm curious as to what the inside looks like though. Could you post more pictures? ^_^

You sure made it worth the wait for them. Those are really nice!

The insides are quite simple. I no longer have these in my possession but I'll see if mom can get more pics. Thanks again for all the compliments

Very nice!

[pete]

did you make the beader by sharpening it? Did you heat it to use or just case and push?

How did you attach the rings with no screws showing? Could you post a picture of the inside ?

thanks you are an inspiration!

When you stitched the pieces together for this project, did you use a machine or did you hand stitch it? The stitching is beautiful. I do not have a machine and have a hard time getting my stitches even and professional looking.

I know I need to Bob, but the holiday rush tends to be a little hectic and they save time
