Slides N' Woggles Issue 2
Original design: Greg Firestone/BSA
Early when I began making slides I ran across a series of slides called Slide N' Woogles by Greg Firestone. I kind of think it was a handout for 2 or three events. The handouts contained some original Slide of the Months and some of Greg's designs in each packet. I can seem to find the Slide N' Woogles series anymore on the web but I was lucky enough to print out the patterns before the files disappeared. If Greg Firestone is reading this, thank you for helping encouraging me.
The design is a BSA modern design of the Scouting fleur-de-lis and I've always been frustrated as how to bring this to a slide. The other day while flipping through my library of designs I happened upon Greg Firestones Leather Slide and I knew how to use the design. I taped the design and some carbon paper to the piece of leather and traced the design onto it. Then using a soldering iron, I when over the tracing burning the image into the leather. The slide is laced in the back with hole punched into the leather.
