Members Butch Posted January 3, 2009 Members Report Posted January 3, 2009 I made this for my first grandchild (grandson) who will be born in March. Made just in time for the Baby Shower.

Ambassador freak Posted January 3, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted January 3, 2009 That's really, really nice. Love the stitching around the block, nice touch. I need to make one of these for a friend. Any foreseen things i need to think of or avoid trying? Quote It takes more then one freak to have a true freakshow. So take a seat , the show is about to start. Check out the freakSHOW
Members Butch Posted January 3, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 3, 2009 Freak, The only problems I had were with the inside where the photo album hinges. I initially had 4/5 oz leather and it was too thick, so I used the lighter weight leather that you see on the inside, so it would bend. That made it so I was able to close it. The only other problem I have is that the album is sort of spring loaded because of the outside 4/5 oz leather, so I plan on putting a strap on it with snaps. This is the first time I've done one of these, so I just kind of winged it. If anybody has opinions on the items I mentioned please let us know. Thanks, Butch Quote Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction. Facebook

Dags3777 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 A truly lovely job, he will treasure it forever. Darryl Quote When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness.
TomSwede Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 That is really a nice gift for your grandson. He'll treasure it when he grows older. Good idea to put numbers and lettering around the edges but you forgot Å,Ä and Ö They pick up more than one imagine I think, even when they're very young. I used to read, read, read and read some more every night to my son and at 11 now he is very litterate. Good job with it, very beautiful!
