Members Billy Hell Posted August 25, 2015 Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 Still working on my tooling, cutting, stitching and style. Here is my latest... Quote
Members Red Bear Haraldsson Posted August 25, 2015 Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Don't carve nothing else, just hang it up for a while... I need some time to catch you!!Beautiful work, don't let anyone tell you different. Just marvelous.http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=64096&page=1Just came from your 25 rounders post. Lordy, what a difference you've made! I, too, am going to start of with the rounders (the way I was originally taught in High School (1986) and again in the Navy (1992)). I'm going to pick up all those books (and a couple of others) and get to practicing.I do not think I will get as far as you did in three months, but it will NOT be for a lack of trying.

Members Billy Hell Posted August 25, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks for the great words. It's very exciting to be able to produce things like this! Quote
Members malabar Posted August 25, 2015 Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 That's just lovely work. I'm curious: What do you charge for that kind of decoration? tk Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 25, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted August 25, 2015 Let your leather dry out some more before tooling. Still a bit wet, there. Finished rig looks purdy good thow. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members Billy Hell Posted August 25, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 JL - If your looking at this photo, that is actually after I put on my first Bag Kote: About price - I have given away just about everything I have carved to date. But if I were to sell something like the holster above I think I would ask $200, which is probably high but I'm not carving to make a living. I'm carving because I have always wanted to do it. I probably have 5 hours in that one. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 25, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted August 25, 2015 Nah... I was talkin bout the 2nd and 3rd pics in yer orijnal. And if you mean 5 hours from side o leather to done, that aint bad Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members Oldtoolsniper Posted August 25, 2015 Members Report Posted August 25, 2015 That Sir, is the most convincing thing I've seen in regards to practice. I'm going to try the twenty five rounders myself.. Quote
Members Billy Hell Posted August 26, 2015 Author Members Report Posted August 26, 2015 Once you tool those tiny rounders holsters make you feel like you can really stretch out! Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 26, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted August 26, 2015 How thick them 'rounders'? 6 oz? 8? Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
