So there has been a lot of our community really taking the initiative and building some rockin' projects lately, so in that spirit I create this thread for any and all craftsman projects to be posted and enjoyed in one easy location. So post em' up and start sharing brothers!
I'll start off; many of you have seen the clocks and other projects that I've sent out but I also build a lot more that get distributed locally and to close family and friends in state. This is one that wouldn't have been seen otherwise since it's going to an Alec Bradley Marketing Executive that lives here in Colorado. Just finished it up yesterday afternoon after I came across a Black Market box earlier on. The next pic was the sneak preview of one of the gifts my lovely wife was given by me yesterday. Been trying my hand at also making some purses from the smaller more unique sized boxes too. I work with metal, wood, leather and semi-precious gems all the time so this just kinda came about naturally. The handle is braided leather capped on the ends with sterling silver wire and deer bone with tigers eye as well, and Amanda did the 100% legit gold-leafing.

(the purse is cool too but I wouldn't get much use from it and I sure don't need to give my fiance any more solid objects to throw at me when i piss her off, LOL)
It'd have been real sweet if the AB/BM logo was stamped in the dead center of the box where the clock is, but I guess the guys at the factory were getting lazy that day. Still looks awesome as is, has a more "artsy" feel to it with the off center logo....and the A & B brass letters - b!tchin.
You and the other "clock-makers" all got me inspired to try making my own.....I see a trip to hobby lobby happening this weekend.

Ok in serious now lol, both the clock and purse are awesome. I actually made a cigar box purse for my mom, about 6 years ago. I wonder if she still has it, hmmmm. lol
