Members noobleather Posted March 5, 2019 Members Report Posted March 5, 2019 Great work,must be really satisfying to use those tools you have made and see the results on the leather Quote
Members JazzBass Posted March 5, 2019 Members Report Posted March 5, 2019 Check Brownell's, a supplier of gunsmithing tools. They should have a 50lpi flat file for layout, and curved triangular files for pointing up the diamonds. Quote Christopher J. Gordanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisGordan

Ok so I need to clarify I am not looking to buy a file at this time the one I used for these was leant to me by a friend who is a hobbyist gun Smith but when i do I will definitely look at Brownells thanks for the tip! 18 minutes ago, noobleather said: Great work,must be really satisfying to use those tools you have made and see the results on the leather As of yet I have not used them, only tested them so I will let you know how things turn out and I probably will post some pictures of whatever I make with them thanks for the kind words.

Members YinTx Posted March 5, 2019 Members Report Posted March 5, 2019 Fantastic work, thanks for sharing the process with us. Look forward to seeing the results! I must say, these look as good as some of the older stamps I have. Well done.

Older stamps seem to be better quality depending on their care and feeding lol!! I now know my next tool investment will not be a leather working tool! Quote
Members Sanch Posted March 6, 2019 Author Members Report Posted March 6, 2019 Okay this is the last installment of pics. They're polished and cleaned. Don't think I'll ever buy another set of tools again! I can make them Quote
Members JazzBass Posted March 6, 2019 Members Report Posted March 6, 2019 Wonderful! Just out of curiosity...any plans to offer your tools commercially, or do we only get to drool at the pics? ;) Quote Christopher J. Gordanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisGordan

Just like my swivel knives, head/round knives, skiving knives and all other tools I've made they are for personal use only part of the journey for me per se.. thanks for the kind words though. Quote
