Drill
(64 items)
It’s been a few months since I first posted this trunk. I stripped all the paint from all the metaI Removed the moldy leather, sanded, burned & stained some (character) into the wood. I based it on some of the original tooled leather. I of course take artistic liberty . Hopefully the Romadka bros. Looking down from the heavens approve . There are just a few nails in this one and a couple pieces of cast hardware. You guys count for me Ok I ‘m tired. Tomorrow I will begin to tackle building the interior trays and compartments from scratch, There’s currently nothing but fungus and mold inside. I can’t wait to crawl inside , yippee! more fun. See ya in a few months as I take my sweet time with it. I’ll send more pics. ??????
You're the man ! Beautiful work. Thanks for keeping us posted.
Ditto to bb2's comment! What an amazing job you have done here! I'm very impressed!!
Wow Drill!! You did an outstanding refinish, to say the least!! The designs you've burned into the wood are just amazing. You're quite an artist my friend!!
Well Drill, All I can say is WOW!!, you always do a great job but for me this is your best, this one stands out from the crowd, when you first look at it you think your looking at a leather covered trunk, absolutely fantastic job one to be proud of, you inspire me to give this a try, again great job Drill.
Wow — I just looked at both the before and after pics again! What a transformation! I’m cute you’ve covered this before Drill, but what tools do you use to drill/ burn the wood? Your patterns look great & remind so much of the leather. Love the finished product!
I just want to thank everyone for the kind words. It really is enjoyable to bring them back. I will be giving this one away to one of my soldiers that recently returned from Afghanistan.
Oh my... how beautiful!! You’ve taken this lovely craftsmanship piece and elevated it to a work of art! Wonderful...
That's really cool Drill, I thought the leather was in good shape until I started reading the comments and looked closer. Great idea.
Love it!
AMAZING JOB Drill!! Great overall flavor added to a great trunk.
Had to push the love button a second time there Drill as this piece of art deserves to be one at the head of the class, OR in a class of its own, which technically I guess it truly is.
AMAZING JOB Drill!!.....once again!!
Thank you again everyone for all the kind words and the loves.It's just good to bring them back a bit and not see them discarded to the curb.
