First Crack At Tooling

Recommended Posts

I am still trying to get the hang of the swivel knife. I am scared to cut through the leather.

I need better tools for the fur on the squirrel. I am just trying to make do with what I have though.

The oak leaf was my first attempt and I took the most time with it.

Finally, if I glue two 4-5 oz pieces of leather together, will it tool like one thicker piece? I have a lot of 4-5 oz and I can't bring myself to buy the thicker stuff until I have gone through it all.

Let me know what you guys think...

Hi Matt, it looks like you're on the right track. Your tooling is already starting to look 3d, especially on the piece with several leaves.

Looks good Matt

Practice on all your scrap leather

using the swivel knife, you will get the feel for the depth of cut

Enjoy the ride
