Members Fire88 Posted November 9, 2017 Members Report Posted November 9, 2017 If doing a curve copy the curve onto a piece of poster board, lay stamps on the outside side of curve mark where each letter lines up. Lay that template on your leather and stamp away. The firefighter that showed this showed it on a shield he was making. Quote
Members Dwight Posted November 10, 2017 Members Report Posted November 10, 2017 A piece of thick walled 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch angle iron, . . . laid at the top or the bottom of your line, . . . will suffice in most cases to keep you lined up. Keep masking tape on it so no rust transfers (and don't even think aluminum, it's far worse), . . . or a piece of 1/2 inch flat stock maybe 2 inches wide. Put a mark on it on the edge of the piece so you can check it from time to time to make sure it is not slowly running out on you. Cheap, and effective, . . . both ways. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
