Members Bigfoote Posted October 4, 2017 Members Report Posted October 4, 2017 Any one know how to do this basket weave and what tools are used? Quote
Members Halitech Posted October 4, 2017 Members Report Posted October 4, 2017 swivel knife, a ruler and a beveler if you look closely, you can see the knife marks on some of the ends where it meets the cross piece Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

Wow I will have to give that a try but it looks pretty difficult! Quote
electrathon Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 That looks like a mini5 basket stamp tool. Quote
Members Halitech Posted October 4, 2017 Members Report Posted October 4, 2017 sure is but it looks great when you can do it right (which is why I'm not touching it lol) Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

electrathon Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 12 minutes ago, Halitech said: look at the areas I've circled, to me those look like knife marks Could be. But if you look very close he would have had to turn his knife exactly the same and made intentional overcuts at a completely different angle than he was cutting at. Almost impossible to do, on purpose or accident. The imperfections are all in a straight line, as are the other imperfections. It looks to me like he was not that used to using the mini5 tool and got a little off on the alignment as he moves across the leather. Quote
Members Halitech Posted October 4, 2017 Members Report Posted October 4, 2017 you could be right, I know I have seen someone do this pattern without any other tools and I haven't seen the mini5 you are talking about so not sure how it would look if he got off alignment.

Electrathon, never heard of a mini 5 tool before where do you get such a stamp? I did a google search and came up blank, and we all know google knows everything? Lol. Quote
garypl Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 Here is a link from Pinterest - not certain who makes it https://m.facebook.com/mini5leather/photos/a.1562899053923359.1073741828.1561037437442854/1573422866204311/?type=3&source=44 Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
electrathon Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 The guy is on facebook, the Pinterest image is of the tool. He makes a few different angles of the tool. I bought mine a couple years back and have not done any more than play a little with it. I just looked at the above link, that is the guy. Quote
mikesc Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 He used to be on here, last in 2015. http://leatherworker.net/forum/profile/58812-mini5/ currently has a shop on pinkoi https://en.pinkoi.com/store/mini5-leather-craft-life Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" ..

Members YinTx Posted October 5, 2017 Members Report Posted October 5, 2017 Here is someone making a belt with an almost identical look. You can see the pattern he cut into the leather, and the method he uses to bevel it.

electrathon Posted October 5, 2017 Report Posted October 5, 2017 The pattern is cut, it is stamped in with the tool. Then you bevel. The tool comes as a set. Quote
Members Bigfoote Posted October 5, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 5, 2017 Thanks guys, I found him on FB, sent a message for more info, will let you know what I find. Quote
Members Bigfoote Posted October 7, 2017 Author Members Report Posted October 7, 2017 Here is the info for this stamp, you can contact the guy on Face Book "Mini5 Leather Craft Life" Would love to get this but $155 is a little out of my budget . Quote
Members pascalox60 Posted February 23, 2018 Members Report Posted February 23, 2018 Hi, Maybe i can reply to the first post. I looking for the beveler he use. I think less expensive than the Mini5. Regards, Pascal from France Quote
