        <![CDATA[ I made up a bunch of drinking tankards to boost my Bulgaria funds.  Thought you might like to see them.








They are made from 3-4mm veg tanned leather with nice thick bottoms to them.  All hand stitched and soaked in hot beeswax to harden and waterproof them.  If
the opportunity arises, and the leather is suitable, I might make a few in Bulgaria as they only take an hour or so each from start to finish.


Anyway, if anyone fancies one, they are down on the trade blanket.

			<description><![CDATA[ Yeah, I only have about 2 pounds of wax. Its too bad that my first attempt failed. I had spent about 4 hours carving a really nice image of sleipnir on it, and
another hours filling it in to make it look like a tattoo. Oh well, Ive got nothing to do today, and I still want a tankard. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Your wax is too hot.  Use a double boiler then the wax can&#39;t get hotter than the temp of boiling water.  Once it&#39;s shrunk, bin it and start again.
<br>
<br>
I usually just wait until the wax melts, then start dipping.  If it forms a milky sheen, it&#39;s not hot enough.  Mind you I have five gallons of wax melting
down at a time, so I can usually dip a whole batch of stuff before it gets too hot.

			<description><![CDATA[ The easiest way to do the top and bottom curves is to place a sheet of paper on the floor, take a piece of string about three feet long, pin one end away from
the paper, attach a pen to the other end, draw an arc on the paper, move the pen up the string six inches or so and draw another arc.

Measure across the bottom arc the circumference that you want the tankard to be, and draw a straight line up from there towards the pin at the other end of the
string.  This will give you a... ]]></description>

After I finish this one, Ill give your pattern a try. ]]></description>
