I love to see that you went the inexpensive route with your tooling surface. I got my "Mistake" Headstone back in the early '90s for $20.00 at the graveyard. Best tooling surface EVER!
Great video! How do you merge the basket stamp with the border? Do you just do the basket stamp first and then come back with the border and overlap the basket stamp? So some points end up having a basket stamp that you are directly stamping over? Thanks so much!
@@richardnathandaniels2534 yes thats exactly right. Lay down basket stamp first and try to feather off at the edges then come in with border stamps to merge the two
My personal preference when doing borders on square pieces is to angle the stamp in the corners and then fill in from there... I've found it gives a fuller and more uniform border but that just my opinion!
Hey mate, I noticed you had an issue where your tool kept slipping when you hit it. I had the same issue and I fixed it by using a hammer styled mallet, I use Barry Kings Hammer Mallet.
If you are just getting started, I'd recommend Tandy Leather. Their veg tan leather is reasonably priced. Once you have decided that this is definitely something you're into, I'd recommend trying Hermann Oak leather. I get mine from Springfield Leather co
Absolutely!! Tandy's oak leaf is fine to start with. It's inexpensive and great to learn on. But once you start doing a lot more leather work, HO is so much nicer to work with.
Yes sir if you do a lot of tooling .i learned how to tool on Tandy’s veg and the first time I bought and tooled on h.o. It became much easier to bevel and especially shade.i think part of it is the hide seems a lot more dense but I made a boat load of things out of Tandy’s leather so I keep both and tool h.o.and use the other for back panels and gussets.
You did a very admiral job of explaining how to space border stamps. But you committed the cardinal sin of RUclipsrs, you used the word “perfect”. It is NOT perfect ( border stamps VERY RARELY are.) The trick is to deceive the eye to hide the flaws. You demonstrated this pretty well. Please keep making these videos, they are well done. Just NEVER use the word perfect. Leather craft is an imperfect craft. Just like most crafts perfection is something to strive for but not possible to achieve. There is always something that can be improved. Thanks for taking the time and considerable effort to make these videos.
Thank you Austin I appreciate your simplicity in working with leather. I am looking forward in your future videos

@@AttackLineLeather Awesome. Thanks so much.
Nice video! I use 2 out of your 3 in my borders. I'm kinda stuck on them. That's a gorgeous hunk of rock you are stamping on!
Very informative video, thank you 😊

Perfect thank you
I learned something cheers
From conception to camera setup to "filming" to editing, to final submission,... about how much time did it take you to make this 11:38 video?
Probably around 6-7 hours
@@AttackLineLeather People don't always know the time it takes to make these. Thank you!
Really great info for me, the beginner! Thank you.
Did you make that stamp tool rack?
No. A great buddy of mine made it.
@@AttackLineLeather *le sigh
@@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers lol yup. Ive tried to get him to make more. He said one and done.
Like ur stamp holder did u build it or buy it if so from where
Thanks. A buddy of mine custom built it for me.
I like it he done a good job . Thanks
Yeah agree. He could probably sell them to leather crafters! :)
@@karenguthrie9475 I've tried to get him to do it.

Great tip. I might need to look into that. I love me some Barry King
Hi from Bosnia! Where i can buy border stamps?
@@amirhalilovic5823 hello. Ive purchased mine from Tandy Leather, Springfield Leather Co. And Barry King
This video has encouraged me to get started in leather working..... But where do I buy the leather?

That is great advice.... thanks buddy....
Will you make custom knife sheaths , I need two made , and no one wants to or is too busy to contact me back ?
Shoot me an email at attacklineleather.orders@gmail.com
@@AttackLineLeather , Thank you , I will attach photos and a couple of sheaths so you can get an idea of what I'm looking for .

Herman oak really worth the squeeze over Tandy tanned veg?

@@AttackLineLeather Thank you sir
@@donpayne562 thank you sir
How much would u charge to make a wallet the long kind let me know
Is that a Bear Maul?
It's a VS tools custom maul. You can see his work on Instagram @vstools
When you stamp the impression comes out dark, mine do not?😢
Case your leather a little more and as the color of the leather changes, start stamping
that's a heck of a mustache, are highway patrol
Thanks brother. FD
Estas bien Fregón para aséeme los estampados👍👍👍👍🇲🇽🇲🇽
