Two Different Belt Basket Stamping Styles

This video shows two different ways to run any basket stamp on a belt in order to get a different look. The Arrow Basket Stamp style has always been a popular one for us along with the Angles Basket Stamp variation.
Give these a shot on some scrap leather and see if you can incorporate these arrangements into your next belt project.
The Stamps that I use and review in this video were made by Clay Miller and you can click the link here to get in contact with him if you would like to give his stamps a try: www.millercustomleathertoolco...
He makes really nice tools and is a good contact to have if you are a leather tooler. Great source for high quality hand tools.

I always enjoy tutorials.

Stunning. I’m going to try it tomorrow.

On the angled basket in your second demo, I make a center line like you did on the first one. Then I run the first angled row of baskets all the way up the center. I've found working from the center to the border provides a balance on both sides of the center line versus running from one side to the other. Easier to DO than EXPLAIN.

Make sure the nails on your stabilizing are trimmed so you don't leave scratches or impressions on the leather if they come in contact.

Nice looking stamps When doing the second stamp design, after you get the angle figured, then take the dividers and create a faint line on upper mark, this allows the first row stays even. I really enjoy your content.

If you have any trick on crazy leg stamps for not getting the diagonal line where they meet up... I'll take it ^^ Love doing the arrowhead basketweave, one of my favorite, fast and easy !

[@user-jr1oo9gs5z]

I just scribe a line at the angle I want and work out from there.

Is the border stamp and the single rope basket weave stamp the same size (small). I want to make sure I order the right sizes. Love your work. Really appreciate your videos!

Great video! If you were going to buy those stamps, where could you get them?

[@stephenwhite5444]

Awesome work!!! Hey ive got a old belt that was my father in laws im trying to fix up for my son. In a couple spots where the decorative tooling is, that thinner part of the leather has broke/cracked. I think I can glue down add a backing on the belt to stabilize and hide that. Can you recommend what to use for backing and what kind of adhesive? Right now its just a solid piece of leather and I dont want to sew anything. Thanks for any advice you can offer!

[@user-js2eh7jk1x]

Can you advise what weight of maul do you use when stamping to get a good impression first time. Thanks

[@williammiller6276]

Is there some sort of pvc wrap on that maul?

[@JohnTBlock]

How wide are the edges outside your stamping, Don? 3/16, 3/8 inch? Nice looking pattern, I'll have to try that on my next belt / sling project...on the diagonal pattern, couldn't you run a 45° start line, to help?

[@johntyson9102]

Hi I just wanted you do a stamp what weight maul do you recommend thanks I injoy the video

[@V3leathercraft]

Can we do stamping on finished leather? If so, how?

[@dariosantamaria6330]

Loveo de boqota C quiero Aprender hesegrabado por favor cualquier explicación que sea en español grasias

[@alexdemchenko7997]

I can't see these stamps on that website. Anyone else sell similar ones?

[@scottmasson3336]

Want to find the centre line; just check your dividers from both sides. No measurements necessary.
