Members benlilly1 Posted September 24, 2011 Members Report Posted September 24, 2011 Leather workers, Here is a photo of what I'm working on. I need this to look like a bullet hole and it will be in black leather. I got the image off of the internet but when tooled it looks like a odd flower. I need depth where the bullet goes through and any suggestions otherwise I'd appreciate. Thanks a bunch! Quote
Members woodandsteel Posted September 24, 2011 Members Report Posted September 24, 2011 Shoot it? Quote
Members benlilly1 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 24, 2011 I guess that would work!! Shoot it? Quote
dirtclod Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 I've never tried a bullet hole. Maybe if you really bevel the edges down and then do the same thing inside where the hole is. Might work might not. The one you have done looks pretty neat to me. If you were to shoot it your going to have round hole nothing like what your going for.

Members benlilly1 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 25, 2011 Also because it's on black I can't get any depth to show up so I have to make up for that in how I bevel or tool. I've never tried a bullet hole. Maybe if you really bevel the edges down and then do the same thing inside where the hole is. Might work might not. The one you have done looks pretty neat to me.

Ambassador pete Posted September 25, 2011 Ambassador Report Posted September 25, 2011 I wouldn't out a border around it. Jagged hole and lots of spiderwebbing/cracks. Have you seen the fake (plastic, clear, stick on) bullet holes that you get at a joke store to make it look like someone shot your windshield? Check out google for joke stores, pranks, etc. pete Quote
dirtclod Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Just though a petal lifter might work. What about dry bushing some silver or gray highlights if it has to be black. Edited September 25, 2011 by dirtclod Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Members benlilly1 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 25, 2011 Thanks Pete I'll check that out and I'll try without border... dirtclod- I thought of that but I've never petal lifted. I would like to learn but I need the tool to do this also. Quote
dirtclod Posted September 25, 2011 Report Posted September 25, 2011 You can make a petal lifter out a screw driver or a awl. Cut the end off and and grind or sand a bevel on it. Strop it and your ready to go. try lifting on a scrap piece it's easy. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Members moeg Posted September 25, 2011 Members Report Posted September 25, 2011 I thought i'd give it a try and it's either a bullet hole or a blob. The only tools used were a modeling spoon and the other end of a background tool Sorry about the quality of the pic, it's from my cell phone. Moe Quote What you focus on determines your reality.
