AlZilla Posted July 7, 2024 Report Posted July 7, 2024 Fun seeing how each step builds on the last. Is this a standard pattern for you that you've tooled before?

Is this a standard pattern for you that you've tooled before? I generally send photos of each step of the process as they happen to my clients. Ive had some really great feedback from this. And I think it helps the customer appreciate all the work that goes into a particular piece. No this is actually the first time I've built this purse. And the first time tooling this particular pattern, but I have tooled several floral patterns by the maker that created it. Edited July 7, 2024 by Cattleman Addition Quote
Members bladegrinder Posted July 7, 2024 Members Report Posted July 7, 2024 That’s looking great! Quote
Members Cattleman Posted July 7, 2024 Author Members Report Posted July 7, 2024 So the pattern that my client chose has a spot left blank for intials or a brand, neither of which he wanted. This is the original... And this is after I modified it... I'm waiting for approval of the line art before I put it on leather. Quote

Thank you... I wish weilding a swivel knife was as easy as weilding a pencil, Especially the erasing part... Lol there are several cuts in that that if I could have moved them just a little bit I would have. Quote
Members Cattleman Posted July 13, 2024 Author Members Report Posted July 13, 2024 Tooling pattern transfered to the largest piece... Quote
Members Cattleman Posted July 13, 2024 Author Members Report Posted July 13, 2024 An this piece has ALOT of swivel knife work. By far the largest single floral piece I've ever done. Now onto the fun part! Quote
Members Cattleman Posted July 14, 2024 Author Members Report Posted July 14, 2024 Several hours later... Beveling is now complete... Good thing too, my arthritis was starting to get to my hands. Quote
Members Cattleman Posted July 14, 2024 Author Members Report Posted July 14, 2024 This panel brings the tooling to about 90% completed for the entire build... Quote
