Made a wastepaper basket lid

[Thor]

Actually this was more of a how to for a leather worker on facebook whom I wanted to help out. 

So since this is right below my desk and I'm spending long hours on my desk as well, I'm finally having something to place my feet on. Also works as chair now.

[Rohn]

That is very beautifully done.

[SamB]

As a chair I can understand, but it's bad taste to put your feet on such a beautiful work! 

[bikermutt07]

That is awesome.

[VTleather09]

Dang!  The lace braid and the sunburst are sweeeeet!

[Brown64]

This is beautifully done. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Sandra, but you know I will always consider myself a beginner. There's no day I don't learn something new and am happy about it.

Like I said to you once, we're always learning

It is amazing. I personally couldn't use it how ever, not because it is too nice, I think nice things were made to be used. Because of the number of times I have in a millisecond grabbed the wastecan and squeegeed the spilled coffee/smoothie/dye/paint/whatever off of the bench/desk/table into it. I would have forgotten it was on there and wrecked it in a fortnight.

Thanks TinkerTailor. My Desk is 6' x 4' and the bin in the center under it so my wife and I can both use it. It's actually pretty comfy.

Now I have to make myself a new office chair, cause I broke the laminated wood on the current one. So I guess I'll be buying one from where ever and cover it with some nice leather and some tooling.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous, and even cooler that it's a wastebasket lid.  Like that old Circus saying:  "If you can't do it over the top, why bother?"

Thank you. Trying to improve from one project to the other.

[Bigfoote]

Thank you, it's really just continued practice and using the right distance for the size of your lace.

Thanks. Don't how it would be on a corset, but you definitely don't want it to become to thick. So a thinner lace than this one maybe and eventually just a double loop braid instead of a Mexican round braid. Takes less time and less braid.

Outstanding work Mister !! It sure would look beautiful as a bar stool
