alpha2 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 Yep, that's the same design. I should have known the hobbits would be into that kinda thing. Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members MarkInKy Posted January 30, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 Wow, look at that! Hobbit Leatherworks, looks nice! Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 I've always heard it called quilting. Or quilted pattern. The tool making the dots is called a seeder. The quilt pattern is cut with a swivel knife. I haven't tried it but I'd like to. I'm going to see that video haha. Quote
Members cradom Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 If it was upholstery, it's called Diamond Tufting or Diamond Pointing. Used a lot in hot rods and such. Don't know if when used in leather if it would be called the same. Quote
Members MarkInKy Posted January 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2018 Well, After viewing the video I decided to give it a try. I printed out a design and lightly marked the leather where the seeder would strike then removed the template, seeded, then came in and swiveled the lines. I decided it looked a little better to me when I did not swivel into the seeder area, instead I stopped short. So you can see the lines don't go into the seeder area for the most part:-) Another experiment! Quote

Members Stetson912 Posted January 31, 2018 Members Report Posted January 31, 2018 Did good on that arrow weave too. Are you only supposed to bevel the one side of the line like that? Quote
Members MarkInKy Posted January 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2018 Thanks guys, That was my first attempt with the arrow weave AND the "diamond quilting lattice dealio":-) Stetson912, are you referring to beveling on the quilting lines? I did not bevel those lines... initially I took my modeling tool to those lines and quickly decided they looked best left alone. This is also a thin leather experiment (3oz) so that must be why I could get no improvement with the modeling tool and left the beveler alone. So I did no beveling at all on the whole piece as a matter of fact. Did not use a beveler or shader/backgrounder on this cover. Here is (attached picture) my first booker cover and attempt with stamping, about a week ago. I really like the serpentine effect! I like basketweave too though... Mark Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted January 31, 2018 Members Report Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Yeah, that serpentine is cool! Like it a lot! Oh, and punctuation IS important.... Edited January 31, 2018 by Sheilajeanne Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted January 31, 2018 Members Report Posted January 31, 2018 Ah I see. I saw the beveling in the video. Perhaps that's more for thicker leather. Either way, it looks good. Quote
