Leather Weight

[immiketoo]

I use these while tooling to stop things sliding round.  I finally made one of my own.

That beats a chunk of steel that seems to leave marks. What did you use for filler?

Love the worn flag look.

Thanks!  This one has steel shot.  Next one will be different I think.

Darn good thing to have on the bench. I made one for myself, lead shot, only because I have bags of lead shot here. Mine's no where near that purdy, though!

I just lined the bottom of an old 6 lb sad iron with some leather. Painted the iron yellow so it is a tad happier. Nowhere near as refined as that weight though. 

That flag detail is really cool Mike. Is that a stitching wheel tracks outlining everything? Cool regardless of how you did it man, and clean as a whistle.

I’ll probably use lead next. It’s heavier and cheaper.  Super handy to have!

Lol...those old irons are great!  Yeah just a stitch wheel to make the fake stitches.

Nice work, remains me of the old lead shot bean bags we used to hold down engineering drawings but yours is an awful lot nicer.

KGG, ours were suede filled with fine gravel or sand. No where near as cool as Mike's

Very nice!

[Woodshed]

Excellent! Very useful too.

Very nice! Love the flag. I use a couple of lead "muffins". Left over lead from decoy weights. I put some leather on the bottom. Gotta weigh 3 or 4 lbs.

That flag is really good. Great design and paint work!
