Made A Little Dog Collar......

[shooter55]

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?

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.

Very solid looking, nice work!

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.

Thanks TR.

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.

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.

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

Hi Cheryl,

They are sterling silver letters (concho style) that have small screws holding them in. Thanks for the compliment

All that talk about SID I want to see a pic with him modeling this collar.

The owner is supposed to get me a picture of him wearing it. He'll be my model on my website, too. I'll share it as soon as I get it.

Are you sure it's not a belt for some kid named Sid?

If Sids a kid, he has a face only a mother could love......

Should receive pic of him with the collar shortly.

Where did you get those letters?

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.

Here are some pictures of SID for you. Really like the action one.

Big Ole lovable guy........
