Tim Schroeder Report post Posted January 2, 2016 Just decided there needed to be a new post for this section. Thought I would share a couple of drawings and the tooling from them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JLSleather Report post Posted January 3, 2016 The designs and the tooling look great, but you didn't tell us what you're making! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Schroeder Report post Posted January 3, 2016 They are they pieces to a molded computer case for my wife. So it will be black with brown or tan tooling. I will post some pictures Tuesday or Wednesday. Thanks Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rktaylor Report post Posted January 3, 2016 That looks great and I agree this section needed a new post. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Schroeder Report post Posted January 5, 2016 Finished in time for my wife to take to a big meeting in New York tomorrow. Everything she has is this same color. Wallet, checkbook cover, make up bag and phone case. There is also a tote bag to match.The tooling is a little different color. I sprayed to much Wyo-sheen and the med brown antique finish didn't tint the tooling like the the rest of her stuff. Everything is dyed with 50/50 light brown and chocolate mix with med brown antique finish. The stitching on the computer case is 346 bonded nylon using Tandy's diamond hole punches. The black ones, not there new pro line. The holes are a little big but my machines only sew 207 and it looks kind of small on a case this big. IMO I bought Bob Parks (Hidepounder) book on drawing patterns and it has really helped a lot but still have a long way to go. Thanks for looking and the positive comments. Have a great New Year, Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rktaylor Report post Posted January 5, 2016 Those are fantastic. I thought about showing them to my wife, then thought better of it. I have enough on my plate right now. I have Bob's book as well and give it high marks. Thanks for sharing your work. Randy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Schroeder Report post Posted January 6, 2016 I use all Fiebing's dyes and antique finish. I started using a damp t-shirt wrapped around a block of wood to wipe the excess antique finish off so it only wipes off where there is no tool impression.

Tim Schroeder Report post Posted January 8, 2016 I also put this piece on her suitcase and a luggage tag. Makes it really easy to identify her suitcase quickly. She travels a bit for work. I made this stuff 2 yrs ago and my tooling has improved quiet a bit since. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
