Contributing Member Tim Schroeder Posted January 13, 2018 Contributing Member Report 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
Members Rolandranch Posted January 13, 2018 Members Report 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
Contributing Member Tim Schroeder Posted January 13, 2018 Author Contributing Member Report 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

I think I'll get it now. Quote

Rossr Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 Wow that is real nice....too nice for a drill on a job site lol Great work Quote
Members battlemunky Posted January 13, 2018 Members Report Posted January 13, 2018 Wow! That is super nice work! I'd be afraid to hurt it! Quote
bikermutt07 Posted January 13, 2018 Report 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 I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members olfart Posted January 13, 2018 Members Report 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
Members DJole Posted January 13, 2018 Members Report 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... Quote \D.

Members JMcC Posted January 13, 2018 Members Report Posted January 13, 2018 Very nice indeed! And great work as well...that bag is a beauty! Good job Tim!! Quote

Members Basically Bob Posted January 21, 2018 Members Report Posted January 21, 2018 Great work! I especially appreciate the detail and skill required to put theat bag together ... a showcase of Leather working skills done right!. Quote
Members Texson Posted January 21, 2018 Members Report 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
