So the last 2 months I have been crazy busy and working in a machine shop at a factory. What does a leather worker think about all day???? TOOLS!!! As a sub contractor sometimes it takes time to get to know the big bosses and finally I was trained and able to get into the Lathes they have there. I also learned how to TIG weld stainless while I have been there.... Well tomorrow the job is over for my contract and well.... I just had to stay a few hours the last couple days to make these!

Sorry but these are all sold already... And tomorrow is my last day at the factory... BUT.... I am moving back to the USA in 8 weeks and will be setting up my new shop! So I you want one I. Can just add you to my leather list:)

I really liked being in the machine shop! I am going to miss it for a while until I can get to Florida and get some more TOOLS:) I have to add a lathe to the top of the list now! It is just to much fun all the amazing stuff that can be made on a proper machine.

So here are the first three complete with custom made wood boxes:) I am going to make every box different. The weights came out to 56g for the brass and 62-66g for the copper ones. I just used one for the first time yesterday and yowzers!!! They are pretty sweet!

I hope everyone enjoys the artwork on the boxes:) hahaha that was fun! I like playing around with the wood burner:)

Superb. Are you planning to make more or was this a limited edition run?

It appears as though I have 1 extra SK in this bundle that is available. I think I will be making some more but it will most likely be after the move back to Florida and the new shop is opened there.
