TomSwede Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 So this is the riflesling wich I used the groover and agonized over. There was a thread on riflescabbards and borders so I used it but a little bit simplified. I was going to use tri-weave to fill up the insid area but after the center row I thought it looked finished so just added customers name with stylus instead. I also got the pattern from snooping around the net. I don't like the look with the rivets like that but He wants it ASAP and I have three more to for him so gonna look into it for next one. Got an idea wich is also something I saw on the net and liked. The buckles are on the inside and I realise it can cause an itch but hunting season is such that He will have a thick jacket so I don't think it'll be a prob. Also set the buckles a bit loose so they can swivel and follow the motion of the body. They are actually too big but once again, he wants is asap.

TomSwede Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks you all! Luke, I got the second run down alot better with the tips I got but the grooving step took far to long time and with scrutiny the grooves are not perfect. The might hold up a stitching line so so. Cutting time down would be a good thing, I wanna hang around with you guys too.. After seeing the other grooving tool I feel hope!

Schno Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 I love Tom's style. Every piece he makes looks like it was carved and hammered by a viking warlord: solid. And Tom, I have total marble envy. That's a great workbench! Quote Schno - Los Angeles, CA
