Sweat And Blood

Recommended Posts

No top because I want it to be open at the top.  4 X 4 X 5 inch box for my tackle box.

I'm still learning.  I couldn't think of how I was going to stitch this and finally thought about a Box Stitch.  I was in Tandy and asked the Customer Rep what he thought would look nice and he said Box.  I had been dreaming of trying it so away I went.

Lots of sweat and blood went into this.  When Skiving I slipped with my utility knife1074014290_BurgendyBox1.jpg.dc50d5dc0a32929e2bd03ff87127652e.jpg and slit my wrist.  7 stitches later and I was able to start working on it again.  The bag, which is going to be a shooting bag, isn't done yet.

Following the instructions I need to skive the sides of the bag.  I'm a little knife shy right now but I'll get over it.

I cut out the form with 10 ounce leather, dyed it with Burgundy dye, used TanKote and then punched the holes.  All came out evenly.  After doing the edges and using Resolene I think I've completed it.  I may put the top on but it's not needed at this time.

Any thoughts?

It isn't real unless you've bled for it. Good job!

It's not as easy as it looks. Good job. I've only done it once on the end of a rifle butt cover.

That piece represents a lot of time, thought, planning, and effort. Exceptionally nice job!

Having the sutures removed usually hurts less than the suturing! Best wishes for your recovery.

Thanks

The sutures will just fall out.  That's a plus.
