Spitballing...you know those "Remove Before Flight" flags you see, something a lot of people now sport?
1. What's your price for those?
2. How many here want one?
3. Add a Shadowspear or some logo near the key ring end?
What's your cost and where do I send the money? I'll pay for the material and you pocket what's left OR designate a charity and I send them whatever split you request.
I'll pay market value and not flinch or whatever percentage you desire to the charity of your choice. We can negotiate, what do you want? I'll take delivery 3 months from now, don't care. I'm in.
I doubt I'm the only one.
I'll let you guys know. That rocks!
And I mean, close with me, that includes, those here.
To add:
Who here still has their SS challenge coin?
When I do this, I can put Initials plus that number or a number of choice there. It's just stamps I tool into leather.
I need to complete a wallet, Sabine wanted for her husband.

My boss, Jessica, a hobby nerd herself, wanted one, wanted to pay. Instead, we will trade, she's doing a project for Maria.
This will be Jess's.

Skydiving was my "hobby therapy" for more than 20 years - but eventually pain reminds you that no matter how well executed, skydiving puts a lot of stress on the human body.
When I "retired" from skydiving, I leaned into Cowboy Action Shooting and that has definitely served as "hobby therapy" for a few years now and it is nowhere near as physically taxing as skydiving.

I compete as a "Gunfighter-49'er"
Tons of folks forego the "character" angle by just using their first name with some random word...
Carolina Box
Whiskey Box
Cactus Box
Sheriff Box
Deputy Box
Box Full of Gold
Box is full of sh...
...you get the picture
It really is a LOT less stressful than 3-Gun - and just gathering the guns you need to compete exposes you to a little bit of 'Old West' American history that most folks would never even consider.
I started jumping out there with a few guys from my team after I got out of HALO school in 95. I didn't really become an addict until I started working at the MFFS out in Yuma in early 2000. Eloy, Coolidge, Perris Valley, and even as far as Elsinore (before they burned down) were the first places that started taking my lift ticket money - I started working at Coolidge before CPS took over the DZ and turned it into a military training facility. I didn't actually find my way to Paul Fayard's place until a couple of months before he got out of the Drop Zone business.
By the time I returned to Bragg in late 2003, I was jumping almost 7 days a week. Obviously that stopped once the GWOT took over my schedule. Since I only live about 3 miles from Raeford - I could make a 20 minute call from my drive way. I worked there for the Thackers for ten years before paraclete took over operations - then I worked for almost ten more for them before I decided to "retire"

Pieces cut, waxed, edges burnished, drying, all for an unsuspecting secret santa recipient.
The wallet standing up turned out good, problem is, the template was slightly too small, cards are tight, i definitely went to school on that built, learned alot.

Scuba, long range rifle shooting, hunting, fishing, and overlanding. Among other things...
My partner/friend, the German asked if I could make a card wallet with these Initials.
Aside from ehh stitching, I think it's ok.
