getting there slowly.

[Andrew Green]

Well, after a few minutes of figuring out how to get a pen to ride easily attached (somewhat) to a piece of string, and a few minutes with a jigsaw, I now have two usable cores to make targes with.

I need to rasp/sand them to a more uniform shape, as I made sure that I always cut outside my trace line by a little bit. I would rather have cut a bit wide, and need to correct it a little at a time by hand, than to run the risk of cutting too shallow ya know?

More as this develops... I haven't picked up leather or anything yet, as my funds are going to be relatively low. So I'll bide my time, smooth out the cores... search for something suitable as a backing, and see if I can hunt down thick grade leather. It isn't that I don't wanna cough out the money to get it, but I would rather get it for less than more...and if that means I have to take care of some "hassles" on my own to get it prepped and ready, oh well.

Still looking for something to use as a boss, or a packet or larger brass tacks. I think I could do a decent design between a few larger upholstery nails, and the smaller ones that I already have.
