This is one of my cabs from Tonyterner. I drew up a couple of fancy designs for it, but none of them really looked quite right.... So, I made this cab into the first thing I thought of the first time I saw it..... A machete  ...  .. I think my weaving is getting pretty good...  .. here's the back.  Everybody run!!!! RVD has gone mad!!!! Ahhhhhh, He's got a machete!!!!  Lol, Chris |

Definitely ready for the pro wrapping circuit!! Just bring the machete and you'll be on top. But where's the bail?? Definitely wearable for a man.

LOL, you are too funny. Great idea and great work on the wrap. I'm not so sure about the wrestling figure but hey, whatever trips your trigger...LOL. Too bad you don't have a GI Joe ;-)

C'mon, Chris! Fess up! You have a computer-controlled weaving machine hidden in the back closet, don't you! ;D
No, really - you're doing some amazing work with the weaving and the innovative designs - very impressive!

I see the bail. behind the handle. There is no end to your creativity. Very very well done. Your weaving was always great. Even the first one. This one is just perfect in every way.

Thanks as always guys... The weaving is still slow and tedious, but at least it looks good. This one was fun to do after that 4 opal monstrosity from last week. Definitely ready for the pro wrapping circuit!! Just bring the machete and you'll be on top. But where's the bail?? Definitely wearable for a man. Lol, here's a better pic of the bail.... I did hide it pretty well, didn't I? BTW, I'm actually trading this for a new water pump for my truck. Well, the labor at least, I still had to buy the pump... Ahhh, but at least I have heat now  , just in time for it to get warm  . Attachments:

WHOA!!! Can you ever ever ever do something sub-par? Course not, you have too much talent! On another note... your wrestling figure.... uh, .... both of my sons wrestle. Send me a piece to have a REAL wrestler hold it for pictures!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Love your work Chris!

That is wonderful. I really like the themed wire wraps. I would love to do something like that once my wire wrapping skills improve.
