CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 17, 2022 CFM Report Posted January 17, 2022 The wife was on Fakebook the other day and saw a local ad from a fellow leather worker posting some of his wares, an elderly lady asked if he could make a Yahtzee dice cup. The answer was simply no with not even a sorry but added. So being the kind heart she is offered my services lol. After talking to the lady and getting the info, what she could remember, the next day she wrote back and said said she just couldn't afford one, I didn't quote a price. She wanted to replace one her late husband had bought at the local penitentiary and together they had worn it out. He was an officer there and she is 89 years young. It took me about a full hour to talk her into taking the cup for no charge finally saying i would use only scraps to make it and it would provide me some good practice which it did. PS i still hate lacing lol and my tooling stinks. 10 oz canyon tan with black lacing pig suede liner. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted January 17, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted January 17, 2022 Good one. Your tooling is fine and the colour is nice Did you go by a supplied picture or something? to match the old one? Ach, sure you have a heart of gold and the faeries will always smile at you PS. I hate lacing too, I always try to avoid it Quote
CFM tsunkasapa Posted January 17, 2022 CFM Report Posted January 17, 2022 Looks just fine to me. I used to lace everything, but not much anymore. Somethings just sort of require it. Quote

Members AzShooter Posted January 18, 2022 Members Report Posted January 18, 2022 I think you did a wonderful job. It's good to do something out of our comfort zone. I too don't like to lace but just because I'm not real good at it. Your tooling is nice and so is the lacing. Making her the box was very nice of you. Quote
Members Bawarrior Posted January 18, 2022 Members Report Posted January 18, 2022 Good deeds go along way around here. Nice work all the way around Chuck Quote
