New design

[Naprawiacz]

Only the low price and love for Pickelhaube made me become a new owner.
It's good that the previous owner didn't repair everything with super glue.It'll be some fun.

Can't wait to see what you do with this one especially the liner.

 

[Khukri]

Yet another challenge! Please do keep us posted on every step of the process. Thank you!

I used a technique of filling in missing material using glue and ground leather.Nobody in their right mind fixes things like this.You have to be a bit crazy and have a lot of faith in success.There are still a few hours of work left.

Mr. Wojtek, who is not crazy here?
Get to work!

The inside of the skin was smeared with Vaseline.The outside was lubricated with black Bundeswehr shoe polish.Now the skin is soft. In two hours it will dry and be ready for installation.

The behind-the-scenes step by step photos and instruction are just incredible I really enjoy them.

I was thinking and it reminds me of the masked Magician when he shows people the secrets of the tricks behind the curtain.

Thanks for taking the time to share your work its much appreciated.

Working time: 12 hours. I sewed with two needles. That's enough for today.It's very hard to sew when there's no sun and you have to work with indoor lighting, but what can you do when it's winter?

[Naprawiacz]

That's all I could do with this item. Working time 20 hours.I found two stamps, but I can't read them.Merry Christmas to everyone.
