A couple o bracers

[Fatbob]

Hi all, following a bad accident 5 years ago I have to wear a wrist support on my left arm, so I made myself a couple of Bracer style supports out of 3mm veg tan leather, having no real leather tools made it a bit tricky but armed with a Stanley knife and a rounded off nail here's what I came up with.....
First a full length one....

Then a 3/4 length one.......

Those designs are fantastic. amazing work

 

[ProjeKtWEREWOLF]

Beautiful work!

 

[Dreadhead]

blimey those are good, especially when you're working without proper tools!

 

[John Fenna]

Wow!
Get some specialist tools and there will be no holding you!

 

[Fatbob]

Thanks, yeah that's what I'm looking into next for the man cave some leather working tools, then just gotta figure out hoe to use Em lol, good old utube.....

 

[grey-array]

That looks superb there, Get them tools flowing and that leather rolling,
And install yourself in thy mancave ^^
Yours sincerely Ruud

Brilliant! My man has a tennis elbow brace which snapped recently, might have to donate some leather for the cause! Your artwork looks lovely... 'rounded nail', you'll have all those leather toolmakers outta business

Amazing work there mate. Just goes to show what can be done with next to nothing.

Incredible, well done & thanks for sharing your talent.:You_Rock_

Oooh brilliant, really nice

 

[Bigfootleather]

That is great work...so great infact that it made me register so that i could post a comment! Like some of the others have said, when you have the right tools you will definitely be doing stunning work, and you obviously have an eye for design too. I've seen much worse carving by people with the right tools (not on this site obviously!)
Keep it up my friend, you may have found a new career

 

[Fatbob]

Thanks everyone, n welcome to the site Bigfoot leather, I've just been given some leather tools so let's see what I can come up with.

[superc0ntra]

Awesome work. I'd proudly sport one of those on a heavy metal concert

 

[FelixAvery]

theyre really good like something from a game, you should enchant them!

 

[Elen Sentier]

Fabulous work - especially without specialist tools

 

[craeg]

Flipping hell Tony, you made these with just a Stanley and nail :You_Rock_
What do the runes and Roman numerals represent?

 

[Fatbob]

Thanks Creag, the numerals represent 16% its a patch I wear on my bike jacket, it stands for 16% of bikers are disabled and 16% of those are that way due to an rta ( me being one of them) and the runes are Fatbob and lightweight( my club name and my mrs club name.

Antarctic that bud, with the tools used, should get yourself some tools and carry in with this mate, you have a knack for this dying art, and could see you making something of this if you like that type of carvings.
the runes on the bottom look great.
