Members TinyL Posted December 19, 2008 Members Report Posted December 19, 2008 Hi everyone. Does anybody know where I can get a fairly inexpensive pebbler background stamp? I know Tandy doesn't carry it with craftool. I'd like to get one online.Thanks, Chris Quote
Contributing Member ClayB Posted December 19, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted December 19, 2008 Hidecrafter used to carry them in their pro line for around $10 to $15. I'm not sure if they still list them but you can check out thier online catalog. Quote ClayB Badlands Leather Art blog Badlands Leather Art Website
RandyScott Posted December 19, 2008 Report Posted December 19, 2008 The Pebbler tools, PA003, PA004 & PA005 are listed in the 2008 catalog (page 37, top section of the page) as being available, or maybe more accurately 'not Discontinued'. In the 2008 Catalog Price list, they are each listed at $7.50. There was an earlier thread on the pebblers here: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?s...ic=1613&hl= Quote Complacency Kills
Members TinyL Posted December 19, 2008 Author Members Report Posted December 19, 2008 Thank you so much ClayB and RandyScott. I love the effect but had a hard time trying to locate the item. Have a great day! Quote
Members Butch Posted December 19, 2008 Members Report Posted December 19, 2008 If these are what you're looking for I got mine at Tandy. They look similar to the ones at Hide Crafter.

Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted December 19, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted December 19, 2008 I own both the hidcrafter and Craftool "pebblers" and neither are as nice as Bob Beards....

I'm trying to slowly get to the point where I'm good enough to warrant Bob Beards stuff and be able to afford it too! Quote
Members Blake Posted December 19, 2008 Members Report Posted December 19, 2008 I get good results using a "birdseye" A102/A103 style. It will give a great pebble grain effect when used properly. Trick is to strike it with the right force and not cut into the leather. I use it a lot on the outside borders of boot tops and sometimes as the back ground per customer request. I tried the commercial pebble grain tools but prefer the "birdseye". It is much smaller and you can get a half tool also which really allows you to get into tight areas. Mine is an older Hackbarth but the Craftool should work just as well and the prices are reasonable. Blake Quote

Blake Thanks Blake.I'll probably add that to my next order. Do you have a picture of that effect? I'd like to see how you used it because it sound like another great alternative. Chris Quote
Members Blake Posted December 20, 2008 Members Report Posted December 20, 2008 Hi Chris This isn't the best picture but maybe it will give you an idea of the pebble grain. Blake Quote
