Members ouchmyfinger Posted March 13, 2012 Members Report Posted March 13, 2012 Does anyone know what that back ground tool is that Mr. Harwood is using? everyone has it right of course but the new tandy bargrounder is not as good as the older ones, they don't have the detail and seem to smush the leather, try and find an old one or shell out a few more bucks for a good one. also they come in multiple sizes, 3 hole, 7 holes, etc...i just use a 3 and 7 hole and that just about covers everything i do, barry king makes them in diffents sizes depending on the size of projects you do, not sure about other makers but anything is better than the newer tandy ones, you'll be surprised how much practice that takes to use the tool that consistently at the speed he is going at. good luck Quote
