hidepounder Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Posted November 23, 2011 I seen your work in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Leather Fiesta. That Rope Case is HUGE. It was amazing to see that purse in person. Bob if you ever check out YOUTUBE, type in Filagree Belt, you'll see some Asian leather carver. He bevels 3 belts all in some jig he has. He has 80+ videos on his Leathercarving. Eddie that guy's amazing! Talk about production tooling! He engraves silver too. Bob, As always your knock it out of the park. just wonderful work. Thanks for the post Tim Thanks Tim! Quote

Members JHayek Posted November 24, 2011 Members Report Posted November 24, 2011 Very nice work!! I really like the design elements and the execution of the design is superb. Quote
Members Morchesky412 Posted November 26, 2011 Members Report Posted November 26, 2011 First off, absolutely amazing work!!!! it really is beautiful Bob. Everybody on this site speaks so highly of you and i can see why. I hate to de-rail the thread but i went and looked at some of Eddie's work and i noticed that he dyes not only his background but even his tooled surfaces with a brush, and it makes it look awesome in my opinion so i figured id ask how it is he did it. Is he using severely diluted brown spirit dye, oil dye, water based? im still pretty new to leather so i apologize if its obvious haha. Quote

You'll have to ask Eddie about how he dyes his leather. I couldn't find any photos to look at so I couldn't see what he does......sorry. Quote

hidepounder Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Posted November 26, 2011 I'm following you now! His video's were interesting. I'm not sure what dye he was using. There are a couple of methods for dying the tooling with a brush, however the most common method of coloring is using an antique paste. Quote
