Guys, thanks for compliments (and a few PM's).

I'm sorry but I'm still a total beginner with leather tooling I hope to be able to make bike seats (springed seats for hardtail choppers/bobbers/you-name-it). A belt should not be that hard, the challenge is to be able to create images/texts that are clear enough, bearing in mind that a belt would be only maybe 1½" - 2" wide.

I'll keep that in mind though. But being a house husband w/ two kids, my spare time is scarce

Here's one more practice piece. This image is going to be tooled to a seat for hardtail Sportster for my club mate. The seat pan is just not ready yet, so I did a practice to make sure I'm able to produce that design (which is also created by me).

How are you handling the water that runs in between the shed and house?

I was thinking the same thing, nice damn shed though!

Here's a sculpture I did 5 or so years ago

I never got it fired in a Kiln (coudn't find anyone who had one so it pretty much turned into dust lol.

Here's a drawing I never completed. It's hard to see, but the Reaper is riding a horse.

Another uncompleted drawing of my MAZDA low rider I had back in high school. Damn, just realizing how old these pictures are :O

I got tons of metal machined parts, composite stuff, a LOT of scratch built aircraft and custom car and bike parts I've made over the years, but uploading and hosting is a pain lol.

Something I did a couple years ago...

I don't have a picture of it, but on the shed roof is shingled (matching the house shingles)
But on the house side I installed a rain guard to force the rain to flow to either the front or rear corner.

Basically two 10' pieces of drip edge that met just under the house gutter. Pretty much makes a big "V". I can't believe i don't have a pic of it! It was one of my best ideas
So even in a heavy storm, literally only a few drops touch the lower shingles of that side of the roof. It's all forced to the front or back of the shed.

I have the gutter system to install, just haven't yet. Plus I'm going to build a gutter "catch" for the front and back where the rain guards empty.

tiny pic but we got bored and raked out a pedal bike. never finished it. we just wanted to cut stuff up and weld lol.

heres a headliner i did in my ford ranger splash

heres one of the door panels i did up at wyotech

heres a center consol i was workin on for the splash. flush mounted screen. 8'' sub in the side. sold the truck before i could finish it

one pic of a side job i did. i guess what i do could be considered an "art" collision work

 

[stang65pony]

but thats pretty much the closest i get to art. i have TONS of ideas in my head but have trouble putting them on a "canvas". currently im getting into small time hd video editing and stuff. just a hobby

 

[j4nn3]

^^ Well, at least for me those indeed qualify as art

Lots of different kind of skilled people here [up]

 

[USn2Boyz]

Ok so maybe not very manly but as a small child I remember my grandmother sitting and hand stitching quilts.... seems to be a dying art. Well mine aren't hand stitched but non the less made by my own two hands.....

I have been offered $500 for this king sized quilt by a local fabric store!!

another spring time quilt....if interested in a hand made quilt let me know....
I'm currently work on a BUELL quilt......[cool]

 

[07Bolt]

I re-painted my snap-on toolbox, kr555b i think, from faded red to bedliner black rough texture & racing orange. Very old box, rust had eaten thru at the corners. Took prob a week 1/2 to get it painted, then re-assemble took about 3 hours. Prob going to do a gloss finninsh next, maybe a buell themed picture embossed into it. but long ways down the road. this is for sale too.

 

[nwguy]

I build recumbent, motorized, cargo and weird bicycles. More at this URL:
my bikes

 

[xxspudxx]

I build Police Cars for the surrounding cities.

In the trunk of this one at the moment.

@nwguy
Cool bikes!

@stang65pony
Excellent work on the interior. Looks great.

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

Love the crazy bikes! Awesome and unique! My buddie made his own recumbant bike. Not as cool as ^^^ tho.

 

[rah7777777]

xxspudxx...

I'm a trunk monkey myself at the day job!

We only build our cities vehicles (Police, Fire and public works)

Actually about to finally switch to the Coban camera systems like in your pic!
162 cars to yank the old L3 stuff and install the Coban stuff.... Good thing its all overtime!

You know what cars there going with once the crown vics are gone?
We are looking at the new caprice, if its like the impalas though, id rather build a crown vic!

 

[xxspudxx]

We are about to build out some Tahoes and another wave of Crown Vics. Fun Fun. Overtime FTW! [cool]

After tower safety school, Ill be able to start climbing our towers and working on the radio equipment in the sky. That is when the fun starts.
