Matt T Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah, that design has a lot of holes. Is it just a concept you have, or have you done it by hand before? I am also wondering if you'd be able to penetrate that many holes at once just by hitting with a mallet. Leathercraft supplies
AndyL1 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Yeah, that design has a lot of holes. Is it just a concept you have, or have you done it by hand before? I am also wondering if you'd be able to penetrate that many holes at once just by hitting with a mallet. Just an idea I've had. I don't make shoes so I thought this kind of detail would be great on a bag or wallet. I'd use my press to push the die through. I wouldn't make this up on my account as I couldn't afford it at the moment, but if you're in business to sell a lot of them I would definitely keep an eye out for one.

Matt T Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 Good news, I finally received the tips from the factory. Check it out: http://lekoza.com/Tools/MedallionPunches I still need to experiment with making the punches, but I've made the tips available for anyone who would like to make their own. Since the price starts to add up on patterns with a lot of holes, I had the tips designed in a way that they can be replaced / reused if you create a face plate on your punch. Leathercraft supplies

Now this has some potential to be a very cool thing! I'm going to have to sketch out some ideas.... Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook
