Members ArkieNewbie Posted March 14, 2023 Members Report Posted March 14, 2023 I mixed a few of my hobbies together on this project. I laser engraved on wood and then glued the wood rounds down to leather and cut them out. I think they turned out pretty great! What do y'all think? Quote
PastorBob Posted March 14, 2023 Report Posted March 14, 2023 pretty cool. Thought about engraving your maker's mark in the leather too? Quote In God's Grace, Pastor Bob "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 www.PastorBobLeather.com YouTube Channel
Members Bert03241 Posted March 14, 2023 Members Report Posted March 14, 2023 They look good but I'm curious as to why you waste good leather on the bottom. I laser engrave the leather to make coasters. Quote

I laser engrave the leather to make coasters. Thanks! I thought it was a cool look and took the place of cork on the bottom. I used small "scrap" pieces I had laying around so I didn't sacrifice much. I have some rounders I bought from SLC I plan to use as well. I need to invest in a round cutting die. Quote

I have used wrinkled flank pieces as accent pieces on bags before. I really like the look it gives and I hate wasting leather. I'm always looking for ways to use the less desirable pieces. This was a perfect opportunity to use it somewhere it didn't need to have structural integrity 2 hours ago, BigBore said: Very nice work! Thanks! Quote

Why do you need a round cutting die when you have a laser engraver? I cut all my leather with the laser. Quote

I cut all my leather with the laser. I have not had very good luck cutting with my laser. It is only a 5.5W diode laser. It takes me about 10 passes to cut 3/4oz. I haven't tried to cut anything thicker. Quote
