Members Murray Posted April 6, 2013 Members Report Posted April 6, 2013 Hello all, A friend of mine, who's still in the Navy, asked if I could make a full function wallet small. After some trial and error, I finally came up with a design that I liked. He also asked to have a "USN" anchor and his rate/rank on it. I jumped on this one as I am a retired Sailor and have not yet done anything Navy related. This is what came off the work bench - enjoy.

Members benlilly1 Posted April 6, 2013 Members Report Posted April 6, 2013 Nice looking wallet...logo matches a seat that I've done! Quote
Members Murray Posted April 6, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 6, 2013 Us Sailors love that anchor. On a small scale that chain gave me alll sorts of trouble though. Still pleased with the end product.

Members David8386 Posted April 6, 2013 Members Report Posted April 6, 2013 Looks nice, good detail, color, and the lacing looks good. David Quote
Members lesking Posted April 7, 2013 Members Report Posted April 7, 2013 Very nice those of us who have served with the Navy do love that anchor Quote
Members Murray Posted April 7, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks David. Les, Thanks, shipmate. I have been retired for about 5 years and I got to feeling really nostalgic when my friend asked me to do this. Hooya.

Members DoubleAdobe Posted April 7, 2013 Members Report Posted April 7, 2013 Hey there That is a good job, reminded me of an old pattern I have. I'll PM ya. Quote
Members bearachc Posted April 9, 2013 Members Report Posted April 9, 2013 I was going to ask how you did that chain, that logo looks really 'tight' for lack of a better term. Well, maybe 'clean' would be another way to put it, great work! Quote
Members Murray Posted April 9, 2013 Author Members Report Posted April 9, 2013 Thanks bear. How I did the chain - I took a jewelers screwdriver, filed the tip down a bit (to fit the curves) then just kinda pressed in the impressions. It took a while and my hand was pretty sore afterwards, but I think it turned out awesome. Thanks again.
