Thank you so much for putting out all of your knowledge for free. It is obvious that you really love your craft and try to help out beginners. You have my respect for that.
Thank you so much for this video! Getting started in leathercrafting and really love this border! Tandy's pictures of the hourglass tool do not show this technique. Genius!
This is my kind of channel. I'm just getting into tooling leather. I have the serpentine stamp. I definitely need to get some more tools though for sure. Great video/ tutorial. 👍 I enjoyed it. :)
I mostly stamp while the leather is still flat. It is possible to stamp after shaping, but it is much more difficult. You will get some distortion from the fold, but I feel it makes more of a mess stamping in the round.
I really like that. Ima have to get a stamp like that. Question, when you cut the impressed line, are you currently directly in the middle of it? Also, on your sheaths, i see the meander pattern, but what did you use to create the rough look in the open area of the center of the sheath?
Yes I cut right on the line. I don't think I mentioned it but you want to stop right before the cuts touch each other at the corners. You can make them look finished with the modeling tool later but you cannot do much with a cut that goes past the corner. The texture in the center of the knife sheath is a matting tool Tandy craftool #E294-03 and E294-04. I used the M881 and M882 matting tools the same way on my round knife sheath.
Thanks man i sure do appreciate the info and...online training? Lol the time you put into making these videos. I'm watching you make a shoulder rig for a .380 right now. I have a Colt Mustang Pocketlite. I might try this some day

Very sweet ! Do you stamp the pattern before you fold the knife sheath, or after ?

How many ounces is that piece of leather 🤷🏻♂️😊
I don't remember, it was scraps. Probably about 8 ounce. I have used meander stamps on everything from 4 ounce to 15 ounce skirting leather.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
