Thank you. These weights can be used for anything in your shop, including holding patterns and rulers etc.

Tape first. Also, soaking leather isn’t necessary. It’s a little overkill. Just wet it until water sits on the surface for a few seconds, then bag it.

Nice! I have been meaning to make some for my Granförs axes. You may have inspired me. -
There comes a time when I have to weigh my time vs the amount I can charge for an item. Also, repeatability comes into play, and for this job a stamp was the perfect solution.

Thanks everyone! It was my first time using a stamp and I have to say it was quite fiddly. I don’t have a shop press yet so it was quite a challenge. I actually bent the handle on my vice from hitting it with a hammer.

This was done with a stamp, not hand carved but I did crisp it up with a spoon

That’s cool. Well done in the carving. -
Thanks chief! 6 oz. but for a dish I’d use two layers of 4oz or 3 oz

Thank you. I do use Hermann Oak, but not on these. I found an alternative from Spain that works well for this application.

Thanks, Bob!

Best in the business!!!

Glad you enjoyed it

You are quite welcome!. If your modeling spoon ones are sharp enough, they will work, but it may be difficult to push them since they are sharp on both sides. Let me know how they work for you!

Here’s a quick video demonstrating the differences between standard and pro petal lifters. IMG_6115.MOV

They’re both right for the job, it’s just a matter of how to use them, and when to use them in the carving process. Ed’s are wicked sharp on the leading edge. Far sharper than the stamp type, but they are used much differently. If you want I’ll do a quick video to demonstrate.

Yes they are
-
Yes all petal lifters regardless of type will pierce the grain of the leather. How they do it is a little different from each other though. The pro lifters like Ed and Grey Ghost make are easier to use for me.
