Ambassador leatheroo Posted October 13, 2010 Ambassador Report Posted October 13, 2010 I wanted to try something with a bit more detail, but i am a bit limited by the number of tools i have, or i should say don't have. Anyway, i managed to create this with three barry king bevellers and peter mains modelling tool. I realise i need some much smaller bevelers...so time to start saving!!!!

Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 16, 2010 Members Report Posted October 16, 2010 No one says that you have to buy tools. If you need a smaller beveler-make it. I have a 1970's leather working book, and they hated the store bought tools. They used all manner of homemade, and found tools to do the work. You are working with damp leather, so a tool doesn't neccesarily have to be made of metal. Try making some from plastic, wood, or even modifying ordinary items in the home to use. Nice work BTW.
