Mjolnir Posted December 29, 2017 Report Posted December 29, 2017 I'm personalizing my tools. Trying new ideas. I've found one photo of a stacked leather handle for an awl on here. Still learning to search I guess. I figured out what stacked leather was two days ago, so cut me some slack. I'm interested in all ideas, resin uses, products used, wood carving, molds made, you name it. I was bored yesterday and after seeing a pic of stacked leather, I had to try it. This is a cheepo tandy swivel knife, scrap leather that was tooled. I used barges cement and burnished with beeswax. I probably saw this shape somewhere because It's more comfy than my pricey knife.

Rockoboy Posted December 30, 2017 Report Posted December 30, 2017 That looks great. I am gonna do that with some of my tools, maybe a BBQ fork and any other thing I can think of that needs it!

I have a bunch of 4 to 5 4 to 5 oz scrap left over from wallets and motorcycle seats that I plan to use, I also have a Fisker cars Circle cutter that I plan to use it's kind of like a compass with the sharp razor edge Quote

Members TLP Posted January 1, 2018 Members Report Posted January 1, 2018 the next stacked leather handle you do you might want to use a clear epoxy, it will soak into the leather and help to stabalize the handle ( seals and keeps out moisture ) is what I have used for knife handles, was recommended by the company that manfactured the blade in their finishing directions Quote
Mjolnir Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Posted January 7, 2018 well I had to work on the hammer. Tooled leather wrap to come. I tried out some wood burning. The runes spell out mjulnir. also drilled a hole and stretched copper tube in it for an as yet undecided accoutrement.

Very nice, that's one thing that I've only tried once wood burning never appealed to me although I did some lettering a long long time ago great job the Mallet it looks nice. Quote
Members JMcC Posted January 8, 2018 Members Report Posted January 8, 2018 I have to hand it to you, you are very inventive. Good job! I would never have dreamed of doing either of those things Quote
