"Chief" Arm Guard (Finished)
Cameroo:
Just started another arm guard tonight. I was really worried about whether or not I could pull of this kind of detail, but it's actually going surprisingly well. I found that I have much more control of the stamping tool when I just apply pressure and slide it along, rather than the technique I've used in the past, which was continuously tapping with a hammer while moving the stamp along.
I'm feeling really good about this one now. I'll probably add some arrowheads or something to fill in the empty space on the sides. That's it for tonight though, T.V. time now :)
Elktracker:
WOW that is really nice!
John K:
Looking good, i look foward to the finished product !
Pat B:
I used to have a tool(s) that was about the diameter of a pencil with a different shaped burnisher on each end just for working around these lines like you are doing. I don't remember if they were bought from Tandy's or another commercial leather working supply house. That was about 35 years ago. ;D
Nice start on this one, Cam. Looking forward to your progress.
Lee Slikkers:
Wow! That looks excellent...so you are not using the mallet at all, just hand pressure as you move along the cut?
