I had a rummage around last night and found the copy of the dog pic from the story I bored you all with .First photo is 4 by 6 inch pic that I was given to work from... second is finished article ...around 40 by 60 cm .





The thing with dot pics is they're better veiwed from a distance so the dots themselves don't notice....they kinda merge into each other like a tv screen.

Thats pretty cool.I'd hate to think how long it would take to do!.Don't think I''d have the patience for it.

need to sort payment for postage, when done cane you flck me thru the cost so I can add to your bank account please.

Don't worry about that @Gapped axe , at work use couriers everyday... a courier bag may go missing....
Nearly finished the pic...did more today , might get it done completely tommorow.

We have a couple of contractors here at the moment.The digger operator asked if I could make him a pouch for his pocket knife.He's in and out of the machine all day so didn't want anything to bulky that might catch on the seat or door frame.I have been wanting to try a "pancake" style pouch for a while so this is what I've come up with.Will be interested to get his feed back on it

Very cool Hunter. Thought about trying the same style of my pocket knife I use at work but thought it might be to visible and freak out the customers.
Good job mate

Just fitted an ar style handguard to the mighty 45/70 so considering wrapping a section in leather as a grip and lacing around the edges to match the butt stock ammo carrier. Sort of blend the two ends together in appearance. Might be a quick project to use up the rest of my leather.

Sounds like a good idea.Would probably be more comfortable when your carrying it around.....hunting T Rex

Might need a bigger freezer for all that extra meat

I'd also suggest you only shoot above the track

Nah...the kids can carry it out... that's what you have them for isn't it...and washing the dishes.

that sheath that you have large knife in...you can turn upside down and shake till you get wankers cramp
really reminds me of a gunfighters holster for the trusty peacemaker in 45....... awesome work. my hunting knife sits in very basic sheath by comparison but actually uses a hybrid of your two methods...its got plastic liner,like you fishing knives INSIDE the leather as I have scar across my left shin from sheath knife cutting its was out of leather sheath many years back...

Funny you should say that @Micky Duck as the sheath that the "wanking" knife came in had an inner plastic sheath covered in that nylon fabric and it rattled when you walked... which is why I made that first sheath coz it used to really piss me off making all those rattling noises.

@HNTMAD as requested, here is my first attempt at a 20 round 223 ammo pouch. I'm really pleased with the final result. Thanks for the tips and tricks. I'll be the first to admit it's a total copy of your work. Since I had one to use as a template, may as well start with the best. A complement I hope!
