Xmas presents: Sporran, Campaign stool, Belt

Recommended Posts

So I've been busy making things for Xmas. Hope my family are happy

Please give me feedback on my creations - I'm still a novice. (Hoping for some better tools for Xmas :) )

I'm not completely happy with the campaign stool top - maybe I was a bit ambitious with the carving and the antiquing didn't work as well as I'd hoped (watched the videos, but maybe the tooling is not up to scratch). I kind of regret leaving the circle natural - but you learn as you go. Got my husband working on the legs, will post a photo when the whole things is done.

And here's the completed stool with the legs on.

It's very difficult to find tribolts in the uk. Tandy ones were too small, since I wanted 30mm legs. I tried to make a tribolt, but it broke as soon as I sat on the stool (ouch). I eventually found one, but relatively expensive.

It all looks great. But I gotta ask.....

Is that a Batman and The Penguin inspired sporran?

Looks nice.  I'm sure they will be thrilled!

I made some using one eye bolt and one straight bolt.  I don't think it folds together quite as nice as the tri-bolt but it is a lot cheaper.

It wasn't meant to be batman and the penguin, though I'll admit it does look like it :-)

My son has a "penguin" email address, so we keep giving him things with penguins on. The other part was a flame motif that I put an arrow through, but it now looks like a bat!
At least it will be unique.
