Members Studio-N Posted May 21, 2017 Members Report Posted May 21, 2017 This is my latest embossing plate for leather. Mods - move it if you think it is too racey. I decided to do both the positive and the negative although only the negative is needed for an embossing. trying to squeeze it between the plates tears thru the leather so I'll just use the positive as a showpiece. 3" tall in brass. cheers!

bikermutt07 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Posted May 22, 2017 Very cool. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Members churchjw Posted May 25, 2017 Members Report Posted May 25, 2017 Nice design. Great results. I am surprised the tooling marks did not transfer to the leather. Did you off set the size of the design by the thickness of the leather? Have done this with sheet metal dies but never tried leather. Jeff Quote

Jeff thank you. I only set a maximum depth for the model. I don't usually have to worry about it bottoming out regardless of the thickness. That's probably why the tool marks aren't there. I haven't thrown this in the tumbler yet which should smooth it out quite well. cheers! Quote "Out of my mind.....back in 5 minutes"
