Members Webicons Posted February 5, 2021 Members Report Posted February 5, 2021 I’ve heard of people using nesting Tupperware bowls as forms. Or perhaps a more traditional method; mounting a bowl onto a board and then using a wood circle cutout on top to clamp the leather down. Unless you have a lathe I reckon that making the form seem in the video would be difficult. Quote

Members klutes Posted February 5, 2021 Members Report Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Good deal. I personally prefer the wooden forms over the other way. Just me I guess. It’s an almost forgotten way. Edited February 5, 2021 by klutes Quote Machines: Adler 69 , Adler 30-7, Adler 467, Cowboy bell skiver, Beilers embossing machine

Looking forward to seeing that bowl with some carved bears. Quote
Members Dogfisher Posted February 5, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 5, 2021 Ha! I started with bears but fish were my bread & butter. Haven't done it professionally in over a decade. Quote
