So my wife and I just bought a Brindle English mastiff and she needed a collar. I thought I would show you guys My work because you are probably the only people that could appreciate it haha. The night I got her I started working on it and once I was done realized it was 630 in the morning and I had been working on it for 6 straight hours. Let me know what you guys think, critics and comments welcome. :) oh and I don't have a picture of the fully completed collar but I will post that up tomorrow

By the way I don't know if anyone else does this but it's a good tip, something I figured out managing a gun store with my wife. I used the spent brass casings and put them in my drill press to cut holes in leather. The different calibers obviously produce differing sized holes. What I like about this is it cuts the leather very cleanly and burnishes the inside of the hole as well. Try it out it works great, I've been doing this since I started working with leather 2 years ago.


















Updated pictures !!

Yeah, dog pic or it didn't happen.

One word of advice. Gloves.

Just kidding. My hands are always stained, bad thing is that I have a ton of nitrile gloves just for this reason but I get caught up in the moment. :o
 
I knew you guys were gonna say that so don't worry the finished product will be modeled by my puppy. She's a sweetie. Oh and if anyone watches the show THE LEAGUE. I named her Shiva, you will know why.

Haha and as for the gloves, same predicament, I have em, but when I start going I keep rolling, no time to stop and put on gloves. Though they would save me a lot of time scrubbing my hands down the road hmmmmm. Nah I will probably keep doing it hahaha.
 
great work and a clever idea using the empty shell casings.
 
I suppose that puppy is a size of a cow when it grows? Is that fila brasileiro?:)
