Members Wake me at Sunset Posted June 27, 2011 Members Report Posted June 27, 2011 Hello all, my first post here so please be gentle. I have been making a few pirate hats out of 4-5oz vegetable tooling leather, and on the next one I would like to add french edging to the outside brim of the hat. I have Skiver and have been practicing with scraps but I'm not sure if I am doing this correctly. Any and all advice is welcome! Thanks Graeme see photos for what I have and what I'd like to be able to do Quote
Members dbusarow Posted June 27, 2011 Members Report Posted June 27, 2011 See this post Kevin King How to and pics 11 - 16. Is that what you are looking for? Dan Quote
Members HellfireJack Posted June 27, 2011 Members Report Posted June 27, 2011 I think the effect you're looking for is done by wrapping the leather in on itself around a core. Check this video at about 20 seconds in. http://www.bighousedaddy.com/making_a_leather_hat.htm Quote
