          @seawolf Nice thread! enjoy and appreciate all things handmade. probably not what you had in mind but my dad (born and raised in the Azores) is a pretty good woodcarver/sign maker and made my sister and I matching key holders of the Portuguese good luck rooster. Most prized possession in the house.

              Nick Padulla is one of the most talented woodworkers on the planet, and I highly recommend watching some of his videos. Here are two that show the breadth of his skill:

              The most insane workbench ever:

              A sculptural bench with bent wood. Absolutely incredible.

                  Promise I’ll stop spamming the woodworking thread with sculptures but couldn’t help but share the below clip

                    @flannel-slut First of all, that sculpture is insane. So much talent.

                    Secondly, who asked you to stop spamming the woodworking thread? That's what it's here for!

                      Not the most conventional tool, but a shop apron is absolutely a tool. Having some of my most-used hand tools at the ready is super important, and rather than buying something that already exists that I'd likely be unhappy with, I decided to make my own fully custom apron.

                      This was nearly 80 hours of labor, and a shit ton of leather!

                        @seawolf Every tool has it’s place and it looks like you thought that out well!! 🙂 Any thing specific you would have changed?

                          @goosehd We'll see how it goes when I actually start using it. I have a project planned to start in the next couple of weeks, so it'll get lots of use very soon. I may add some pads to the shoulder straps because the apron will get heavy when it's loaded up with tools, and it'll be good to spread that weight out across the shoulder straps and waist straps.

                            @seawolf That’s crazy skills looks amazing 🙌

                            I’m trying to find someone who can make a thick piece of leather that can hang down off my belt to protect my Jeans from getting destroyed by my tool belt ,the best thing I’ve managed to come up with is some gaffer tape and a IH badge to cover the damage so the tape doesn’t rip at the cotton. It’s super annoying it last for about 1hour before it falls off and have to do again .
