Ambassador pete Posted April 10, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted April 10, 2009 I went to the "DOLLAR STORE" 3 years ago and bought a package of French Curves. Best $1.00 investment I have ever made for leather tools. pete Quote
AndyL1 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 I've got a few templates that I made out of 1/8" thick sheets of plexiglass. I cut the curves and lines with a fine-tooth jigsaw, sand them all smooth and draw measuring marks, holes and such on them with a Sharpy. They're great as they are transparent and provide a rigid edge to cut against. I just clamp them down to my leather pieces and have my way with them.

Members Razz Posted April 12, 2009 Members Report Posted April 12, 2009 Well I don't have the spilling of the water thing anymore. Cause, seeing that I reside with 3 females, it was always very hard to access the place they called the "Powder Room". Wich, by the way, made me not want to go in there. So I instaled a "porceline throne" right next to my workbench, in the basement. Not enclosed! So females dare not come close. No more spills, and I like a fresh bowl! And I also get surprising golden tints from the leather sometimes. No, no it's not what you think. It's from the high content of iron and sulfer in the water .
