A leather forming - form question.

Recommended Posts

Who else uses forms to leather form their work? I tried making a form from wood today to leather form a sheath for a Swill Army Knife. I simply used a piece of wood - cut my leather and formed it over the top and then used a U shaped peice of wood and clamped the whole mess. It seemed to work - but is there anything I could do different - or any resources you can point me too. I am a newbie and I am sort of making it up as I go! ;)

I think a more popular method is to use a hydraulic press and some rubber 'plates'. That gives good detail without the risk of marring that a hard surface like wood might do.
