Tooled Braces/Suspenders

That monogram really pops, your lettering is great. Thanks for sharing!

I'm probably the least experienced here but to my eyes this is about as good as it gets.

Most excellent work!!!

Nice design and I love the depth of the tooling.  Can't find anything I would change.

Some very flattering comments, thanks everyone. 

This was my first big commissioned piece really and I was a little apprehensive going into it, so this is all very nice to read

Cheers!

With all that hand tooling and hand stitching, not forgetting the time in laying out the design, it beats me how you could make any money on it.

By charging a fortune! Only joking, to be brutally honest I didn't really make any money on it, I underestimated both time and materials and my quote was way off. Not sure what my hourly rate worked out as but below minimum wage for sure. Live and learn I suppose, though with this particular project as long as it hit the deadline and the customer was happy I wasn't really too fussed. 

Cheers! Alex

Beautiful work all the way around. I'm a sucker for neat bar grounding and this has it in spades. Your coloring is really well done too. Very nice.

Alex, I just had a look at your arty things link - very nice work there, my friend. The forged blades are well done, simple and clean designs.

WOW!
