My first project

Recommended Posts

Just arrived today 3oz tooling leather 22 sq ft, basic 7 piece stamp set and swivel knife, any suggestions what my first project should be. What do I put under leather when tooling? Also Al Stohlmans How to carve leather book all from Tandy.

Ideally, you should have a stone slab to tool on. You can get them from Tandy, but it's cheaper by far to go to a local monument maker or custom counter shop and see if they have any broken pieces you can have for free or for cheap.

Hi!

3 oz tooling leather is pretty light. Be careful when carving/tooling that you don't cut right through your leather, or you could learn to use bad words. :eusa_naughty:
