this is the second prototype pigment protector i made for a tattoo artist/ friend of mine. i think it came out great! it is much simpler than the first version. solid brass hardware and rivets. hand tooled logo at bottom. machine sewn border and burnished edges.
i made this for a friend of mine who can whip a can off your head and a cig out of your mouth in one shot (2 moves). this is the second one i've made for him
san jose pentagram for a friend. two layers of leather, hand sewn,simple tooled design
made a points cover out of some copper sheet laying around at work. cut it to size, beat it with a ball peen hammer on the backside. flipped it over, pressed it flat. then i put it in a bowl of vinegar and salt for a few minutes. pulled it out, let it dry, then buffed out the high spots. repeat like 3 more times, drill holes for mounting- done. i think it looks good, too bad there are no actual points in there.
i found this concrete thing by my house. took some threaded rod from work. hammered a piece of wood i had with screws and bolts and then stained said piece of wood. welded a plate to the rod and mounted it to the wood. put the rod down in the hole of the concrete- done
this is a dental kit for some dentists tools that one friend had purchased to give to another friend. he had the idea to put it all in a nice case for her. no tooling, but hand sewn and hand dyed.i think it came out really nice
