Framing weights 01

I saw a local framer using some disk-shaped leather weights to hold artwork flat for framing, and decided to make some of my own. They're great for holding my leather flat while I'm cutting, or holding a piece still while tooling on it. The ones I use myself are plainer - no tooling or coloring. These are for someone else.

I fill them with lead shot before stitching the halves together. These are 4" in diameter and hold about 16oz of shot.

Those are great.Much nicer than a plain ole bag of shot as a tooling weight.
