2.6

Hello again! This week has been great! My hand is still cramping from all the work I did this week, but that's ok. So this week I really got to work. I punched all the holes that were needed for my belt and got it shaped to fit my belt buckle. I also got almost all of the tooling done, all I have left is to tool the border. I am wanting to finish this up next week so I can move on with my action plan. I am actually pretty proud with how my results turned out, aka, I am happy Mr. Rehbein made me practice because the basket weave pattern that I did lined up almost perfectly and I had little to no trouble at all. I also decided to tool my last name on the back, which I should have done more mathematically but I just but it up to my back and and had someone mark the belt loops to get a rough estimate of where to put the letters. I am actually pretty surprised at how centered I was able to get the name and how it almost perfectly lined up with where it sits on my back. Overall I am very proud of my progress this week and I'm very exited to get started on a new project soon!

    

This is the part where i tooled my last name onto the belt. I plan on painting the letters so I left a small space from where I started tooling so it wouldn't overlap the letters. 

This is the basket weave pattern I did and it might be hard to see, but, I think I did a pretty good job of aligning it and keeping the right angle as too keep it even.
