Poor paintbrush got left out after a couple coats of sealer on a saddle. It's a lost cause, but at least it was a cheap brush. Still, I like to get a little more mileage out of them first.
In other news, I still don't have the room to work on much. I'm experimenting with some projects I've had lying around, though, including a barrel racing set. This afternoon I tested out a gag bit.
And here's where I'm doing the work:
When I first looked at the photo of your workspace, I thought it was a toilet!
ReplyDeleteThe gag bit looks good.
Oh, goodness no, haha! Just a stack of boxes. The top two hold part of my model horse collection, in fact.
ReplyDeleteI wondered if you'd ever attempt that kind of complificated lorinery and god, you don't disappoint! O_O
ReplyDeleteIt's not nearly as complicated as it looks, Christine! Four strand round braid for the cord, 26 and 32g wire for the bit. Honest - not too hard ;) I find the little S hackamore far more fiddly. The trick will be to help the cord into some sort of shape so that contact can be kept with the mouth without the bit popping out all the time.
ReplyDeleteWell that is what ALL, of my paintbrushes look like. They never knew what hit them....
ReplyDeletewow!!! that gag looks fantastic!!! my real horse had one of the ones with the rings...it was called a dutch gag....t'was all we could use on her or she wouldn't stop!!!
ReplyDeleteand that's an interesting workspace! i'm guessing pets are strictly 'outside' while your working!! or do you not have any??
I have two house cats, and after some work when they were younger they know better than to mess with the desks in the house! They haven't touched the temporary work space yet, and I don't think they will.
