Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can find a set of 1/4" Cyrillic alphabet stamp set? Thanks

I downloaded a doodle page today (The Running Lead by Larry "Cotton" Mills) and one of the lines in it reads "After I have tooled the pattern, I used the B199 beveler to invert the boarder". What does it mean to "invert the boarder"? Thanks

I really like leatherworker.net; there is an enormous amount of information on it, but I have not been satisfied with the search feature. This is how I have been searching the forum for anyone that is interested. Say you wanted to learn how other workers deal with an extremely nappy flesh side. Your first instinct might be to use the search box and type in "flesh side"; You will quickly see the results are all over the place and you are unable to read a brief summary of the topic. Rather than using the leatherworker.net search feature go to Google. In the Google search bar type the following as seen here, with the quotation marks: "flesh side" site:leatherworker.net. See attached thumbnail below. Google will return all the topics with the exact phrase flesh side from the leatherworker.net site only. For a broader search remove the quotation marks and Google will bring back all topics with the words flesh and side”anywhere in the message. Hope this helps.

Beautiful.

Renee -- Your description was very intelligible and appreciated. Northmount -- It has been raining here in Mississippi for seven days now and is not forecasted to let up until Thursday so all I have for now is time. I was shocked that I produced something that resembled a flower and not a cave drawing that could be this or could be that but do not real know for sure. Havalmal -- Thank you! JLSleather -- Thank you for pointing out specifics (it will help a lot) and the tip on the wet leather, I suppose I should read up on knowing when the leather has the proper moisture content. lightningad -- Yes a kit. I actually went into Tandy to purchase some leather to make some moccasins and left with the kit as well. Thank you all for your time. P.S. Yes, I specifically made it to open left to right rather thank right to left like a book. I wanted a left handed wallet.

Hello all. To begin I now have 6 days of leather tooling experience under my belt. Critiques will be greatly appreciated. After getting a feel for the tools that came with a kit I recently purchased, I tooled the bill fold pictured below. I began by trying to follow; the pattern's instructions and quickly became frustrated with trying to match the picture so; I put it to the side and went with my gut. From what I see areas needing improvement are as follows: Track marks in beveling: Learn to walk the beveller Jagged knife cuts: Practice making smoother cuts Stamping outside of the lines: Practice and be more attentive What do y'all think about areas needing improvement? Thanks, Jeff
