Waiting for the tools...

[jojo]

...to arrive, so I can finish this... Yeah, I should have waited for them to arrive first, before I made a start, but, hey ho, I just couldn't wait that long! Now, I am stuck...:yikes:

It's the flap for a bag I am making, out of some fairly thick vegtan leather. And That swivel knife is a fiendish tool to use.

Very impressive pattern! should look good when you finish it.

Very nice Jojo. Is this why we haven't had a knife out of you for a while? Been getting into the leather?

I'm heading that way too! Will this passtime EVER end?

Thats looking great Joel!

Thanks gentlemen.

Is this why we haven't had a knife out of you for a while?

It's more that I had to do stuff to help pay the bills...:yikes: I have some knives in the making, with a couple of ideas to make them special...

Here are some pics of the rest of the bag:

[mrcairney]

The celtic knot design for this bag is not my design. I find celtic knots designs to be fiendishly, well, knotty... But I am learning to design my own as I don't think it's right to use other people's work, I much prefer to do my own thing, but those knots take some learning!

Speaking of knives, I'm on the lookout for a little slip joint

Ohhh, I could be tempted to have a go!!
