Members DaveP Posted June 7, 2020 Members Report Posted June 7, 2020 I drew this last night. What tools would I need to complete it? Beveler and such. Thanks again Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted June 7, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted June 7, 2020 ok. I'll start the list 1. Swivel knife with a fine blade 2. a selection of bevellers, from wide to small eg, B200, B201, B203 3. a lined beveller, eg B199 4. A stylus with a wedge end Quote
Members TSes Posted June 7, 2020 Members Report Posted June 7, 2020 Don't forget a background tool of some kind to fill in the inside areas. Quote
Members DaveP Posted June 8, 2020 Author Members Report Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Thank you. These are the tools that I currently have... B203, B935, P217, P703, C491, U851, and V407. Waiting on swivel knife to arrive. I'll have to order the other tools. Where would you use the stylus on the leather? Which background tool is recommended? Edited June 8, 2020 by DaveP Quote
Members TSes Posted June 8, 2020 Members Report Posted June 8, 2020 Staying with the Tandy Craftools, A104 is probably the most popular. Then the A889,which is a little coarser than the A104. A step up would be the E294 and M884. I believe all four are still available, but not 100% sure. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted June 8, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted June 8, 2020 B203 = OK B935 = OK P217 = (Not really needed here) but could be used instead of a B199 if really stuck P703 = Not really needed here C491 = Not really needed here U851 = Not really needed here V407 = Not really needed here You have drawn a line inside the ribbon. I would a. use a wedge end stylus to press that line down as a shallow groove or b. cut with a swivel knife then use the wedge end stylus to press down into the cut line and shape it Backgrounders: A104-2, (optional) A105, A114 or A888-2, (optional) A888, A889, or A104, A118 Quote
Members DaveP Posted June 8, 2020 Author Members Report Posted June 8, 2020 Thanks again for the help and information I'll look at those tools Quote
Members DaveP Posted June 30, 2020 Author Members Report Posted June 30, 2020 Curious if anyone has tried this design? The dimensions are 1"x2". If not feel free...would like to see what a good one looks like! Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted June 30, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted June 30, 2020 I might try it soon-ish as I have a couple of items I need to do and this might work on them Can you send me a scan of It? Quote
