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?

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
