OLD Leather Smith here, nice job, I use a maul, or a drill press works great. Suggestion,s, liquid dish soap in your spray makes it easier 2 accept the d impression snd if you would tape the back of the project the leather won't spread and you will get a chrisper impression. I do yhis myself and have found it works better. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

Thanks! I am glad to see how the arbor press works on the larger 2D stamps. So, it's not just me having a bad technique using the mallet to make an even impression. ... on to part 2!

Very interesting. Rounding the corners a nice idea.The 3d stamps look hard to manage!

Can barely hear. Is this hardened leather? It’s in no way limp. What kind?

[@bentleyleathercraft5974]

This is 4oz (1.5mm) Vegetable Tanned leather, not hardened just as it comes.

Looks pretty limp to me compared to what im used to working with!
