I see he calls a flower center a "one hit tool" 3 times, then hits 2 of them 3 times and 3 of them 2 times Few minutes later, he goes back over those same centers, bops 'em a couple more times .. so , they're "one hit again"?.... What Don means when he says "one hit tool", you hold it in place and not "walking it" as you would with a beveler. Where you would hit the beveler multiple times, you only need to hold the flower center in one spot. Quote http://targetrockleatherworks.com
Members Sheilajeanne Posted March 5, 2019 Members Report Posted March 5, 2019 Yup, Barry King may be making some money off a few of us...lol! I just got over 100 tools and stamps, mostly Tandy and IvanTaiwan tools, and here I thought I'd be totally done buying tools for a long time to come. Then Don shows us how to use a crowner, which Tandy NO LONGER MAKES! One nice thing about the new tools I got, is that the people in Taiwan have realized people still want some of the older Tandy tools, and are making things like acorn caps, etc. The numbers are even the same as the discontinued Tandy tools!

bikermutt07 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Posted March 5, 2019 @Bigfoote, I'd be proud of that. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Members Handstitched Posted March 5, 2019 Members Report Posted March 5, 2019 @Bigfoote, I like that . @Sheilajeanne, I don't really know how many tools I have ( I should do a count) , most of which are S/H and have come from searching through the classifieds, ( pre- internet) and some from a ' lil' ol' shop ' in Perth (WA) run by a lil' ol' lady . Some are Craftools , some Taiwanese some Boss buttons, and a few Kelly tools, ( NZ ) Some have simply been donated to me from ' former leather crafters'. One downside of carving is ' carvers cramp' ....ouch!! But I still enjoy it, even when my right hand seizes up from time to time. This arvo , two of my fingers on my left hand totally 'locked up ' in a closed position for a minute or two while cutting a hole in a belt. That hurt. My tooling experiences have mostly come courtesy of our local library, Al Stohlman and this web site, and simply by just experimenting When I get time, I will check out that vid .
