Members LeatherNerd Posted November 5, 2015 Author Members Report Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) The V word!? Forgive the heresy, but for tool slots I just can't beat the stretch of the V-word. If and when I make a "proper" tool roll (complete with a tooled mosaic all over the back, etc) I will probably use 5oz veg-tan as the backing and 2-3oz suede, or some other soft, pliant leather for the tool slots. But... yeah... if I need to add a fourth panel, I already have an 8.5"x11" piece of faux alligator ready to go, and I have just enough of the V-word left to do one last set of tool slots and coverings. I'm not young anymore... BUT I STILL NEED THE MONEY Edited November 5, 2015 by LeatherNerd Quote Hi my name is Dave Brady. I'm new to leatherworking and eager to learn. I started making journals in the spring of 2015 and I've had the leather bug ever since. I have respect for traditional techniques, curiosity for heretical practices, and a deep and abiding love for pragmatism. Ideally I try to make things that work and are beautiful, but ugly things that work get used and loved while pretty things that don't work end up getting tossed in the "lessons learned" bin. Advice and critique on anything I post in any forum is always welcome, either in public or via PM. I'm having a great time here, don't be a stranger! :D
Members LederRudi Posted November 7, 2015 Members Report Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) After the initial shock has worn off I'm actually beginning to like your golemorous roll especially the labeling with denomination and sample imprints. Such a roll would spare me to sift through two large bouquets of stamps and not finding the one I need because it's the only one stuck in upside down. I also like the absence of dead seriousness in your post and Kiwican's lawyerly elocution. It made me chuckle and brightened up a dull November morning.
