JMudRockFlats Report post Posted April 17, 2017 I have been lurking for a couple of months and have finally gotten around to becoming a member. About 15 years ago I mentioned to my wife that I would like a few leatherworking tools. I had in mind a small kit to throw in my saddlebag for emergency trailside repairs. She presents me with two wooden tool chests full of knives, stamps, lace and strap makers and more things than I could possibly ever use. At the time, I was so busy that I had no time to devote to a new hobby. Fast forward a couple of near death experiences and nearly forced retirement to today and I now have plenty of time to pursue leather crafting. And woodworking. And music. And.... Here are my first projects (in order): Owl bike seat - made for a friend to mount on custom tricycle he built (in my shop) for his girlfriend. Stamped Dice Cup - Birthday present for my niece. Yahtzee freak. Coin Purse - Donated to fundraiser for an infant fighting a difficult battle with cancer. Mushroom Dice Cup - My first freehand drawing/carving. Made for my older sister birthday. She is also a Yahtzee freak My current project is a stitching pony with tilting clamp (using idea gotten from Leatherworker.net ). Using locally cut and rough sawn oak. Will post info if it works out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny cuz I was thinking about a dice cup for a Dungeon Master Friend not half an hour ago. Nice Work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
