JohnBarton Report post Posted May 5, 2009 Impressive!!! I will get out the stamps every so often and start playing with different combinations. When I read the title I was thinking of doodling on paper as I often do to work out technical construction problems and designs. I am pleasantly surprised to see that you meant "toodling" instead and worked it all on leather. I am SOOOOO stealing the reptile technique! :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kustomizer Report post Posted May 7, 2009 Johan, nice stuff, I'll have to stop in and check them out in person, I really think the yellow/red pattern would look cool in a motorcycle solo seat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Report post Posted May 8, 2009 The frog skin pattern is great, as is the last one. I can't figure what tools you used to get that effect - it's great. BTW, I had a principal in S.A. named Potgieter (Robertsham Primary School in JHB), but of course, there's a million Potgeiters in S.A. so I'm sure no connection - but, you never know.

Leerwerker Report post Posted May 9, 2009 Hi Ian, No relation that I know of ... The tools I used for the last pattern: First one is a hand made tools (made by my friend Jason Rovig) from square steel stock. And the second is my all time off-the-shelf favorite from Tandy - The triangle beveler with the lined texture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
