Tim Schroeder Report post Posted January 13, 2018 My old case was worn out. I used the metal bars and the zipper and made myself a new case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolandranch Report post Posted January 13, 2018 That's beautiful! Did you design the sheridan pattern yourself? What did you use to color in the background? Very nice work! -Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Schroeder Report post Posted January 13, 2018 Thanks Ryan. I am drawing all my own tooling patterns. Black dye for the background. I have the Sheridan Style Carving book and Bob Parks Western Floral book. Helps when you can draw a pattern to fit any shape or size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikermutt07 Report post Posted January 13, 2018 I'm willing to donate a rigid tool bag to the cause, if it keeps that beauty off the jobsite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olfart Report post Posted January 13, 2018 I'm in agreement with the others here. That bag is way too nice to carry onto a job site. That's a beautiful piece of work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJole Report post Posted January 13, 2018 *applause* That's a great looking bag! A very nice design, with great tooling and coloring. If I had done that, I'd carry that thing everywhere, not just to the job site. You never know when you might need that cordless drill in the grocery store, y'know...

Texson Report post Posted January 21, 2018 That is a great work of functional art! I love your design and workmanship. I'm reading Gordon Andruss' book on western floral design and really appreciate what goes into coming up with a design like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
