Members DoubleKCustomLeathercraft Posted September 19, 2024 Members Report Posted September 19, 2024 (edited) The problem I've run into when using silver or white pen for marking any side of the leather is drawing the ink through while cutting. Then not realizing it's on the cutting surface, and it marks up the face. I've started using soft charcoal or graphite pencils to mark natural, and white color pencil for dark leather. That way they can be easily cleaned off the surface if my knife draws it through the leather Edited September 19, 2024 by DoubleKCustomLeathercraft Quote
Members Dwight Posted September 19, 2024 Members Report Posted September 19, 2024 Guess I'm the odd ball. Used pencils for long time . . . 80 year old eyes got where I could not see it as well as I wanted to. Started using ball point pen on flesh side . . . made too many mistakes of cutting it backwards. Said to heck with it . . . use ball point pen on hair side . . . ink gets cut off in the edging process . . . AND . . . I can see what I'm cutting May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
