Ed Miller Report post Posted September 18, 2006 Hi all. I am new here but I had to chime in and agree about the Celtic Knot font. I picked it up tonight and for practice I blasted out this small bracelet http://shadoespace.net/leather/bracelet.JPG The knot was created with the font then printed,traced,transfered,tooled. I am a very very begginer. I think that is the third pattern I had tooled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Katzke Report post Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) Hi all. I am new here but I had to chime in and agree about the Celtic Knot font. I picked it up tonight and for practice I blasted out this small bracelethttp://shadoespace.net/leather/bracelet.JPG The knot was created with the font then printed,traced,transfered,tooled. I am a very very begginer. I think that is the third pattern I had tooled. Looks good. I have one comment that applies to any tooling style. I see that one of the unders does not line up correctly. It is very important to make sure that copying, tracing, and cutting are all on the original lines. If a person always goes outside a line then the item will get fatter. A real bad thing when doing things like animals as legs can get very fat. The other option is not good either. If you are careful how you trace on the leather then corrections can be made when cutting and the tracing line can be eliminated when tooling. If you have bad eyes and have to leave a deep mark then it is even more important to make sure that the tracing is correct. I have found that it is easier for me to cut from where a line goes under something and must meet on the other side. It is much easier to make sure lines meet this way as opposed to cutting to the meeting place. That darn knife does not always go where you want it to. Of course you must make sure you cut correctly for the type of line. You may not always want a deep cut meeting a second cut line.
