JeremyChung Report post Posted August 22 Hello everyone, I’m Jeremy, and I’ve been passionate about leatherworking for over two decades. Throughout my journey, I’ve spent countless hours perfecting the art of creating leather molds. These molds are inspired by a mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern design elements, bringing together history and creativity in each piece. I wanted to share a few examples from my collection with you all: These pieces hold a special place in my heart, and I’m excited to share them with such a skilled and creative community. I’d love to hear your thoughts or any feedback you may have. If anyone is interested in discussing techniques or exchanging ideas, I’m always open to a conversation. Looking forward to seeing more incredible work from everyone here! Best regards, Jeremy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mablung Report post Posted August 23 Very nice. How do you determine the dimensions of the raised portions of the mold? I think of that because the pear shading on the flower center looks like it goes almost as deep as the backgrounded areas, which is a bit deep as far as tooling goes, but then I wonder to myself how one would determine those dimensions/tolerances to start with---it would not be easy! So kudos for making a very good-looking stamp mold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So kudos for making a very good-looking stamp mold. Thank you. I designed the drawings myself and carved the molds by hand according to the drawings at the very beginning. So I need to test and test again to modify the details to get the best effect. But in recent years, I learned CNC, and the one in the picture was made by CNC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlZilla Report post Posted August 23 Man, those look like some big molds. If those are cinder blocks in the first picture, the molds must be 5 to 7 inches across! If there are pics or video of your process somewhere, I bet I'm not the only one who'd like to see them. Quite impressive work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite impressive work. That's right:) That's pressed by the big-sized dragon eye leather mold that I designed before. The size is 116mm*92mm I usually draw a design first, then carve a finished product by hand to see the effect and make adjustments. After getting a satisfactory result, I use CNC to carve in batches. I'm trying to take videos of the process but I'm not good at doing that. I will try again in the future and share it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
