CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 30, 2019 CFM Report Posted November 30, 2019 beautiful work!!!! Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
Members Retswerb Posted December 1, 2019 Members Report Posted December 1, 2019 That’s a beautiful piece. What’s the leather? It tooled nicely but also folded under nicely for the stitching. Quote
Contributing Member Tim Schroeder Posted December 1, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 1, 2019 Thanks for the comments. The leather is 3/4 oz. Herman Oak. Learned how to fold the Veg Tan and make it straight and even. Quote
Members Sperrier Posted December 2, 2019 Members Report Posted December 2, 2019 very nice work. You may need to show that leather folding technique, it is reaaly good. Quote
Contributing Member Tim Schroeder Posted December 3, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) I use a Douglas stitching groove tool to put a groove on the fold line half way thru the leather. Then use a wide French edge tool to skive both sides of the groove. Then I usually go back and run the grooving tool again lightly to make sure there is a distinct groove and the leather will fold straight down the groove. It should fold really easy if not probably need a deeper groove and a little more skiving. On thicker leather a little moisture on the outside will help keep the leather from cracking when you fold it. Edited December 3, 2019 by Tim Schroeder Quote
