Real nice. Any trick to centering and spacing the holes?

Horween Orion leather lined with French split goatskin, hand stitched with Lin Cable @ 9 spi, acrylic edge paint. I'm pretty happy with but I know there are some glaring mistakes. I need a smaller oval & round punch for the holes and a punch for the end of the strap. I also need to work on centering and spacing my holes correctly. I did this all today so yeah I rush a little too.

Yeah, I shoot too. Here's a couple of my arm guards.

I like the look. It's not "pretty" but looks great, has lots of character.

Pretty cool, do you shoot?

Great molds, thanks for sharing!

The staining has an old timey look to it, which is nice. I'd bevel, stain and burnish the edges and perhaps stain the underside.

Nice molding. How about a shot of your mold?

Nice work. Do you do your own photography? It's nice too.

I contacted Mando in France about the tool and fittings. It's still $600 + to get one shipped over here. I'm still stumped about what kind of wax/paint is being used. I tried some Angelus leather paint but I'm sure it doesn't melt and smooth out like the material used with the filetuese. I also contacted Peter Nitz about this tool. He took awhile to respond but did say he may start a blog in the future about leatherwork.

$25 + $3 to ship.

Muito bom!

On the Barry King tools website this stamp is the first one listed under Borders. It's the 7 seed #1 (smallest size). Like new. $30 + $3 to ship. Prefer Paypal. Thanks.

Very nice. Interesting design.

Muito prazer!

He's probably using a Fileteuse manuelle.. see this thread... http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=38750&page=1
