Members nrk Posted November 12, 2014 Members Report Posted November 12, 2014 cool, congrats. what is the leather details? Quote
Members eandrese Posted November 18, 2014 Members Report Posted November 18, 2014 I love the lettering. I can imagine how nervous one may get about halfway in knowing any error will be a show stopper. Are there any good threads in lettering I can search for that others know about? What process was used for this lettering? Beautiful work! Quote

Members Colt W Knight Posted November 18, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 18, 2014 I love the lettering. I can imagine how nervous one may get about halfway in knowing any error will be a show stopper. Are there any good threads in lettering I can search for that others know about? What process was used for this lettering? Beautiful work! The company logos I copied a picture from the website, and printed them out to full size. These were low resolution, so I actually had to redraw the outline of the lettering. 1. Print out text 2. I use packing tape to cover the back of the text. 3. Case the leather. 4. Tape the print off to the leather 5. Use a stylus or modeling spoon to trace the outline from the paper to the leather. 6. Remove paper 7. Use a sharp swivel knife to cut all the trace marks 8. I use 2 sizes of smooth bevelers to bevel the letters 9. I use a modeling spoon to smooth out the beveler marks. The initials inside were a simple stamp set. I also made this for the same client, he was actually one of my University professors. Quote
