I'm planning to get new High Quality Edgers... I'm thinking about Jeremiah western edgers, but been told they not worth it, any suggestion will be appreciated... by the way I'm not worry about the costs.. Thanks

nice work....I'm not expert but I think if you use center flower tool instead of seeder that will come nicer...

For me I make all my patterns in AutoCad, such as sizes of front and back, stitching lines,...etc. Then I transfer the pattern to photoshop to scale. In photoshop I made custom bruches for flowers, roses, leafs and some shapes. I just set my layout by putting all flowers and other elements in secounds, I can then rotat, flip and scale anyone.... I use my tablet pen to draw all scrolls and vines... at last I print it to transperant paper. If the drawing is bigger than A3, I print it in sections and tape them later... I just starting to use a projector that been hanging from my ceiling. so I do not need to print my drawing in section, I aim the projector to the leather piece., I tape the leather to my bench to prevent it from moving then I trace all lines using a stylus... and believe me I'm starting to like this method alot...

I have the 3/8 ceramic blade..its sharp if you strop it well... however I 'd like to use it for decorative cuts only because its too thick to cut small patterns...

Hi.... I'm just wondering if there is something like rule of thumb for sizes of flowers in sheridan patterns? I'm aware of that it depends on the size of the layout or the number of flowers.... what i mean is, in example as a notebook cover, can I use only three flowers? but the flowers will be big.... if I try to put 6 flowers I will have dificullty to cut and tool them... I'm really getting confuse, I red somewhere that do not go bigger than 3 inch for a flower, ... any help??? thanks

thanks alot, excuse my shortage of knowleg, because im a self learner... I hope I will do better in future

Hello..... this is my first post in this forum... I was following this forum for while, but I was hesitat to post any carving after I see creative people in sheridan style... any way these two are my second try at sheridan carving, C&C are welcomes to correct my mistakes in next project... by the way the design is not mine... I only do the carving.. I hope you like them
