Pebbler Tool

[Roger]

the pebblers i have are from hidecrafters.. the "pro crafter" series.

from what i understadn, they were designed by robert beard. hope to be able to get a set from him some day.

i have the tandy tools also. the give a nice texture but, not a pebble effect.

if you look at the last seat i did i used both tools. the pebbler around everything and the tandy tools on the devil wing

here is a closeup of what the tandy background tools do. they give a nice texture but, don't give the pebble effect

Normally I am a guy who prefers specialization. I let the tool makers make the tools, I buy them and then use them. More efficient use of time usually. Probably 10 years ago at least I needed the pebble tool to duplicate a piece for a repair. At that time Bob was the only one making them, and was out about 4-5 months on making me any. He told me "any idiot" can make those. Take a flat head bolt and grind around on the head to make the shape you want. Then take grinding burrs on a dremel and make depressions of random sizes, shapes, and depths. I made a couple and they came out pretty well. Not a lot of time involved either on those. I know there are some do-it-yourself stampmakers on the forum, and this is one of those that is pretty straightforward to make.

i have a box of stainless nails but, have not taken the time to try and make pebblers. i'ed really like to come up with a different pattern. i think about it now and then but, really like the crisp effect the pebblers give

LOL!!! stainless nails work the best for me as they won't rust but i have made a couple background tools from steel common nails.

tandy does not carry a pebbler. hidecrafters or bob beard are the only places i have found them

Cool Thankyou Beeza and the rest of you guys, does Hidecrafters ship overseas ?

For Tandy stuff I once went to order from them but they took nearly two weeks to acknowledge my order so went with Bearcreek Leather as it only took a week from ordering to getting my stuff with them, so I'm going to see if Bearcreek have them.

Cheers,

I'm pretty sure Hidecrafter does ship overseas, though I don't know for sure. As I understand it, the Pro Crafter pebblers Hidecrafter sells are specially made for them.

Clair where are you? I know that http://www.thebeargallery.de/index.htm is a hide crafter dealer overseas. Doris and Rene should have some of the pebble tools from Hide Crafter.

Robert Beard of Pro Series tools also ships overseas. but he does have a back log of tool orders since he custom makes every tool to order. www.robertbeardtools.com

Hi Anne, I'm in Western Australia I had a look at Hidecrafters website and it looks like Birdsall Leatherworks is an Australian distributor. I have actually just ordered dye from them but forgot to ask about the pebblers so I'm going to do that Monday as they don't seem to have them listed on their website.
