Members JamesR Posted July 21, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 21, 2019 Also, because the aluminum is 1/8" and the saw kerf is also 1/8" it is a very snug fit. The poly does not slide around at all, it really stay put. Quote
Members NeilMott Posted July 23, 2019 Members Report Posted July 23, 2019 impressive! Thanks for showing us how it's done! I was thinking of ways to achieve this result, but would never have thought of this kind of jig! Neil Quote
Members Miss Denise Posted July 24, 2019 Members Report Posted July 24, 2019 I love this idea! Thank you for sharing. The pictures help a lot Quote

Rockoboy Posted July 28, 2019 Report Posted July 28, 2019 You could also use this jig to stamp a border along an edge. A friend showed me his design, which was a simple version of this. Pics to follow when I get a chance to take some.

Members JamesR Posted July 28, 2019 Author Members Report Posted July 28, 2019 Rockoboy, Yes, I like that idea. Quote
Rockoboy Posted July 31, 2019 Report Posted July 31, 2019 Here you go @JamesR. Pics hereabouts, of my basic edge stamping guide. You can see the two rebates on this little piece of timber. One side is a little deeper so that makes the edge stamping a little further from the edge.

Members noobleather Posted August 1, 2019 Members Report Posted August 1, 2019 Some great ideas there guys,thankyou both for sharing Quote
Members GeneH Posted September 3, 2019 Members Report Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) What an awesome jig for straight lines. I hadn't thought of a guide to keep the chisel vertical. Expand on the versatility a little for curves by using a square block sitting on top of the 2 layers of leather and hold a 2 prong chisel to the block with your thumb. I am thinking the straight (lateral not vertical) side of the block is needed instead of a curved side because if the chisel isn't on the vertical apex of the curved block it will be angled, not vertical. I could be wrong in the head though. Edited September 3, 2019 by GeneH Quote
Members JamesR Posted September 8, 2019 Author Members Report Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) GeneH Not sure if I follow about the curved vs straight block. I like the idea though of a movable block with a recess (rabbet)on the lower edge to keep the stitch line uniformly spaced from the edge. Edited September 8, 2019 by JamesR Quote
