    The age old question…how do I get rid of mold! 1 2

    by medievalbard

    I know this has been asked thousands of times, but bear with me. I recently bought a very large undyed unfinished double butt piece of leather from Tandy. I usually work with pre-dyed, prefinished leathers, but I figured I’d take a risk and learn how to die and finish leather myself. However, an unexpected issue that has risen is that before I can even get to finishing/dying, mildew/mold begins to form on the belt on both sides, very soon after I finish stamping a design(I’m talking under an hour). What on earth do I do to make sure this doesn’t happen? This also happened with the same leather when I attempted to wet form leather around an AirPods case and when I clamped …

    Where would *round* bevelers be useful?

    by AEBL

    I had a stamp that I was having a hard time identifying. Originally, I thought it was an R244 ... but it is a B244. A round, smooth-faced beveling tool. I'm having trouble understanding why I couldn't just use a regular (rectangular-ish) bevel. To save someone having to look the tool up, here's a link: https://proleathercarvers.com/products/smooth-round-beveler-set

    Even if this has been posted before, it probably ought to be posted again: I recently moved, but when my stuff arrived, my granite block had somehow "disappeared". So I went to a local granite / marble countertop shop, told the guy my problem, and he even helped me dig through his scrap pile. Wound up with a lovely 26" x 18" x 1 3/8" perfectly flat polished granite tooling surface ABSOLUTELY at no charge. The guy even helped me put it in the back of my truck. While there, I picked up a couple of smaller pieces for use in tight spaces and so forth. Even if you think your local shops might cooperate, it's worth a try to find out - no?

    weight of stamping maul 1 2 3

    by Hildebrand

    I was just wondering what weight of poly maul everyone is using to stamp with? I have the Tandy rawhide mallet but I think especially for basketstamping I would like something heavier. I usually have to hit the stamp more than once even with the leather cased well. Thank you, Todd

    Layout tips for "tri-weave" basket stamp?

    by AEBL

    I was getting ... better ... at regular basket weave stamping and figured I'd try out the tri-weave stamp I acquired. That experiment was a mess. Do you guys have tips for laying out this stamp? https://tandyleather.com/products/craftool-tri-weave-stamp

    Foil stamping letter set

    by ArtD

    Hi all. I want to start foil stamping my company name and location onto my products. However, I am feeling challenged by the price of type. It seems that it is sold only in sets at $300 to $500 a set. But I only need 16 characters. Is there a stamp maker that sells individual characters to fit the Dream Factory hot foil machine? Art
