Making a ribbon border

[@coburnlowman]

I took all evening making these tools from pictures , then the fun started. My first row looked like the kindergarten class had gotten a hold of the leather. My arch with the sun rays looked ok but it took some filing on the edging tool. Now after several hours of waisting leather I have a better looking ribbon , but I need to start over on the bevel tool. I kept filing it to get the rite shape and it is close but is now too little. It's a real learning process when you have never tooled leather and starting off with tools made only from pictures. You sir make this look too easy. It's amazing at how you glide with the bevel tool and strike each one at the perfect spot each time. If you could, maybe show your tool placements better like show exactly how you hold and position each tool. I froze the scream and studied the finished ribbon to understand how you were holding the tool. I hope to learn many more techniques from you in the future. 👍👍👍👍👍

Glad it could help some.. I will make a new video when I got the time and get the angles better.

[@andyzaragoza783]

Thank you my brother this was very helpful and I can’t wait God bless

[@TexHoss1]

That's just pretty neat. It's amazing what can be done with stamping tools. Some are pretty simple but look great.

[@matthewmillar3804]

This is fantastic! The camo tool is quickly becoming my favorite! 😊

[@Swagz1981]

Love this, thanks! So simple but also so striking.

[@debbiehockaday5183]

Thanks so much! Easy but looks difficult and its beautiful! Can’t wait to try it!

[@moniquehoffer3527]

Awesome! I love that you showed me how to make this great design with out having to have all the extra tools (just the mostly standard beginner tools)

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

You're welcome

[@AAguilar74]

Thanks, watch someone else try and show me how to do this and, I didn't get it. But watching you I now can do it. Thanks man your awesome.

[@kathyd9324]

Thank you! I recently purchased a large selection of leather stamps to work with on polymer clay. I'm just now learning all the amazing things one can do with them. This was definitely an eye popper and awesome piece of inspiration.

[@jimfromthepast]

thanks for the vid! perfect vid for quick reference, adding it to my leathercrafting playlist!

[@waridada6340]

Thanks for the idea!

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Can't wait to get home... I've got a couple camo tools I had duplicates if and decided to grind the texture off and I use them just as figure tools to tighten up edges of curves and such. This k they'll work pretty great for this..

[@l.horseman5704]

I really like that ribbon border. I have been trying to come up with a border that was simple but yet impressive. Guess what! I think I found what I was looking for. I subscribed to your channel. Thanks

[@richardkatzman2066]

Nice job! Looks great.

[@Point_Blank55]

Cool border will use it thanks.

[@oldguyinavan6295]

Very nice. Simple to do, and you show it well. Thanks!

Agreed! Good job and thank you.. that was pretty awesome .

This is very cool. I'm at work(Lunch break) so I have to wait till evening to try it but I wonder how hard it would be to make a 90 degree turn for corners. I'll sure try it tonight. Thanks.

Verry nice work. It look amaizing.🙌👏

[@MountainFisher]

I use the same beveler to do a rope design in an 1/8 wide set of lines. I also tried this ribbon effect with a small camouflage tool and it looked good, thanks Boothill Bob.

What should be the minimum thickness of veg tan leather for tooling? Could you pls guide?

[@chrisbaldwin4916]

Just curious how you finish this design? Unless you run it off the end of the project how do you get a clean end matching the “sunburst”?

[@IceBl8der]

Great Tutorial Bob. Thanks so much. I was trying this on some round coasters the other night and found that the inner row of stamping does not mach with the outside row. The result was an inconsistent thickness of the ribbon. Thankfully I tested on scrap first. Is there a way to resolve the problem?

[@TheNoobstalker]

You might want to use a smaller camo tool on the inside (as the circle is smaller) it may take some messing around but once you find the right size it should line up every time. that is all I can think of anyway :)

[@IceBl8der]

Thanks Bob. I will certainly try that.

[@TheNoobstalker]

Well I am not Bob but I hope it works out for you :)

[@IceBl8der]

My Apologies Tom. Thanks again.

[@TheNoobstalker]

did it work out for you?

[@williamcritcher4755]

I can’t make this work. Having trouble with the beveler. Mine doesn’t look even close to yours. Can you describe more detail about how to place the beveler? I have the same beveler as yours.

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

It's hard to explain.. Maby I can make a new film with close up pictures.

[@ThanhThanhHandmade]

Thanh You!

[@ewayne1527]

How far apart do you make your lines, it looks like about 1/8 inch.

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

E Wayne 1/8" is ok. You can make is wider or narrower, or just one line. Play with it and you'll see.

[@MountainFisher]

@@boothillcustomleather8652 One line doesn't look right after you hit it with the beveler, only a small camo tool works with one line, just FYI.

[@jimtucker9972]

Carpenter hatchets

[@151deanwalker]

How far apart are you guidelines?

[@boothillcustomleather8652]

That's not so important, it's about 5mm. You can experiment with the spacing..

[@thepete4989]

Hi Bob..great tutorial, thanks. By the way, what cut/finish of veg tan leather is that? I ask because I like the grain in it. The surface of the 2.5mm veg tan I am using is too smooth for what I want...but yours looks ideal - Like this guy uses Stateside to make amazing sheathes - check him out; www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/568981-Some-tips-and-thoughts-on-folder-sheaths Hope you can advise as you appear to use the same cut/finish of leather Cheers Pete
