shooter55 Report post Posted April 4, 2013 for SID. Customer requested this for his pet. Actually SID's a French Mastiff with a 27" neck. Not too blingy, and stout as a tank. Have a floating keeper that I didn't put on, but available if he needs it. Look for him pulling the Budweiser Wagon.........(kidding) Whatcha think?

Jazznow Report post Posted April 4, 2013 Nice one. I like the idea to stamp the name on a separate piece of leather and rivet it on. This could be a good solution for producing several collars to sell that you can still personalize. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This could be a good solution for producing several collars to sell that you can still personalize. Kind of hard to see, but that piece is actually inset into the basket weave portion. Thought it would be way too much if I just put it on top. 3 layers there as it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mijo Report post Posted April 4, 2013 Looks tough as nails, your finish on the edges look real good too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shooter55 Report post Posted April 4, 2013 Looks tough as nails, your finish on the edges look real good too. Thank you. The double layer of 9 oz. was tough to round and could have done a little better if my burnisher was a little bigger. I used Bearmans Cocobolo Dremel tool. Canlt tell you how much it has helped me improve doing edges. Thanks for the compliment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mijo Report post Posted April 5, 2013 I have those same dremel tools, only mine are from Spinner before he turned production of them over to Bearman. I agree, they also helped improve the look of my edges and reduced the amount of time it takes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoubleC Report post Posted April 5, 2013 I've done two collars for big dogs, and both are holding up well. I like you name inset. Is that stamped and painted or concho type letters? Very nice job either way. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blazin Report post Posted April 15, 2013 Where did you get those letters? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shooter55 Report post Posted April 15, 2013 Where did you get those letters? They came from Zack White Leathers. Here is the link http://www.zackwhite.com/Letter-Conchos_c_348.html Not cheap, but really nice. Gotta have a itty bitty screwdriver though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
