A Coaster to complement Smoking Experience.

I have put the belt aside today. Seen the picture of the pipe and Knobs Creek

and had to work on the idea of favorite tobacco and pipe on a coaster.

It's going to be hard stamping that small but what the hey. Don't know untill you try.

Nice! May try my hand at one. Wife keeps getting on me to use a coaster.
You could make one shaped like a Penzance tin and sale it to Hobie for big bucks. :lol:

Or stamp 1-q on it and Lawrence will snag it up in no time ;-)

Thanks guys,

Here how it goes. Soak leather or wet it called "casing". let almost dry

or back to natural color. You either freehand or trace over a pattern,than

using a stylus (metal pencil style tool)trace pattern on the cased leather.

That leaves what you see on this coaster so far. That's when you start tooling.

You use a swivel knife to cut the grove you made on the leather than you bevel

on outside of the cut. From there it up to the imagination on what tools and look

you want.

As in any craft there is disciplines on different style of tooling. My mentor

say i think out of the box ( Cracker jacks-you get a toy).

Go to Tandy leather web site , they have videos of on how to tool leather.

As for selling? I am not that good. I Have built in sloops in me. There will be

a mistake made-no way to get around it . I do them as I go. Set of four will more than likely

have a difference. Same pattern but something will be different.

Well done Joe! I'm a MM 965 fan, so that made me smile.
