JLSleather Report post Posted March 11, 2010 About 20-something years ago there was a doodle page about basketweave tools and their angles. Been irritating me for days... anybody got that one? I'll burn the town of your choice ... no, scratch that ... I'll BUY it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtwister09 Report post Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) There are some very good ones for basketweave stampes on here...Bruce has several different ones. Try the query below to look at past ones. They are in my opinion a lot better than the doodle page ones. Bastketweave Posts Regards, Ben P.S. There is also one that I listed a number of angles of various basketweave stamps and just an FYI...Even Tandy's same # stamp does not yield the same angle when measured.

JLSleather Report post Posted March 12, 2010 You'd think I could do this in my sleep. Back in the day, I made a black basketweaved belt with a velcro closure for a cop for his uniform (apparently, he was tired of taking off his belt to go through the metal detector). Course, his buddies saw it and I had to make 10 more. Then they all needed those little badge-shaped belt-worn key holders, and about half of them wanted matching wallets. Then he's got buddies who are cops in another place ... While I like that basketweave look - even in black - enough was enough. Didn't touch it much at all for years. No template, just start "whacking" and it came out right. Then just recently I went to basketweave part of that checkbook, and ended up picking my nose I was at a Tandy store last week, took a look at those embossed belts, maybe just do that, should be painless. But I hate the idea that when you cut the length - there goes your border. Just doesn't look right, much less professional. So, a little basketweave brush-up... soon as I get these bags done. THANKS AGAIN, ART! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
