OOO thanks man

Is there a metal ring or wood on the inside to keep it sturdy? Or is it just a bunch of material sewn together?

 

[Aden Kyramud]

If you use leather, then you wont need a center piece. otherwise, I would just build the box out of paper, fibreglass it, then glue material on the outside. It works really well. That way you get a hollow box too...good for stashin stuff.

haha sounds good! i just got back in from using the spot puddy on my helmet I think its looking pretty good. But the bottom seam of the spot putty container thing burst and my hands are now covered in red spot puddy

Ill get pics up of the helmet tonight

[Alpha 02]

Looking good man! You live on a farm and can't find a dry/semi-warm place to work? No barn or shed where you could make a little space?

 

[Alpha 02]

well there are places but they're all either falling apart or extremely dirty and i just dont want animals and dirt all over my work
