Emmet Report post Posted September 13, 2012 I'm trying to make handle number 18 from the art of leather case making Is it possible to just increase the size of the pattern by 50% or do I have to account for the increase in the pattern in a different way?

Tree Reaper Report post Posted September 13, 2012 Are you just looking for a longer handle or an over all larger handle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tree Reaper Report post Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Make the entire pattern larger but trace it onto a folded piece of paper then you can reduce or increase any part of it until you get what you want. You can also taper it. Edited September 13, 2012 by Tree Reaper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmet Report post Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks Do I need to account for the increase by using thicker leather? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted September 13, 2012 A difference in thickness won't have a significant effect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
