      4C, is this something you're making, or repairing? I'll be honest, I have no idea what to make of these pictures. A little context would help me understand better if you please. Maybe a little explanation of what we're looking at, or some pics of your tools? Just a suggestion.

          That's really interesting! Thank you for explaining your process. I've never seen or heard anyone talk about bronze casting before and I'm quite impressed! How did you get into this, if you don't mind me asking?

              Local @Simon came around with Ami, his wife, to our drinks party on Sunday….

              He gave Paula and me this Christmas tree decoration.  Brilliant......

              My ring is in the pics for scale.....

                    This project was feeling crafty so thought I'd post here. It's a belt I made for my mom.

                          Well you heard it here first folks. If anyone except Minitron has sex with @Megatron1505 I'll make them a belt. Who's first? And no Gav, having sex with yourself doesn't count.

                                  Haven’t posted anything in a while but this is pertinent due to the gear whores in here so here goes!  I wanted to make myself a sheath for my SMF due to it being such a pocketful and the fact that the clip has so much retention and the Gunner grips do just what they are intended to do – they chew on my jeans!  This is my 1st attempt at wet molding a knife sheath, and it’s obviously modeled (ripped off) of Lifter’s fabulous work.  I have a new appreciation of his craft after doing this!  It’s constructed of walnut dyed veg tan leather with olive stitching and is designed to wear horizontally so my fat gut won’t get poked!  Thanks for checking it out!

                                        Finished this sheath last night for a friend’s kid.  The kid’s grandfather found this POS “mini Bowie” while he was cleaning up and asked his son to give it to his grandson as a gift and my friend thought it would be nice to include a sheath with it, so here it is!  I doubt that the kid will care if the knife isn’t top shelf, but hopefully he’ll appreciate the gift from his GF and the sheath will just be icing on the cake!

                                          Made this insulin pump sheath for a friend.  Nothing fantastic but it should last much longer than the dedicated pump covers and/or cell phone sheaths he has been using.  Casing leather is tougher than one would think – even though this a simple design I had a rough time with one of the lower corners, but hopefully I’ll learn as I go and my future projects will work out easier!
