DaveP Report post Posted June 7, 2020 I drew this last night. What tools would I need to complete it? Beveler and such. Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSes Report post Posted June 7, 2020 Don't forget a background tool of some kind to fill in the inside areas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveP Report post 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?

TSes Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveP Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
