    And looking at this isn’t the bevel on the wrong side? I’m left-handed and if I’m going to use this, let’s say up against the straight edge. I don’t want the bevel there. I want the flat side of the blade there which means I’d have to buy what you call, the right hand blade

    Just dropping in, because I saw the Indispensable knife in the thumbnail. Order at your own risk! Mine came and it couldn't even hold its blade as the bolts didn't go all the way through, and their heads were terribly pointy and uncomfortable. A knife handle that can't hold a knife is what I got. Chartermade got associated with these clowns, too bad.

    It is overrated, this leather is for the clout because it gets patina very quick but not as beautiful as other leather like chromexcel and shell. Wickett and craig is also another good choice for a quality patina. But hey this leather is good for practice as most leather worker praised its ease of work.

    James: I love what you do with your 3D printer. Not only the texture pattern, but you dye holder with a spot for the dawber. Excellent. If you can imagine it, you can probably 3D print it. Every time you get a great idea printed and it works, it justifies the purchase of the printer. On another note, if I might suggest a better free hand (no stitching pony) method. Eric Corter has a video on his 'Leap Frog' method of 'in air' stitching. He has been doing it for over 15 years. I learned it and haven't used my pony for years. His method produces very even clean stitches and the technique allows for very fast, accurate stitching. It is only a suggestion. Leather workers are usually attached to their construction methods. Thank you again for the video. (my favorite video of yours is the refurbish of the Swiss Army pouch) Wish I could find one to play with.

      Thank you so much for the kind message and for the tip on the Leap Frog method! I only stitch without a pony for the smaller stitch lines (and even then I'll often bust out a stitching pony). I'll take a look at how Eric does it as it could definitely help save some time :D

    • @JamesBerry
      @JamesBerry 7 днів тому

      Technically yes, it will help a bit but could also do quite a lot of damage depending on the type of leather and whatever was previously used to protect it. If you have vegetable tanned leather with no artificial top coat, you can try gently rubbing it with a damp cloth. If possible I would still recommend you find some saddle soap (can be found in most places selling leather goods or horse-ridding equipment) - it will both clean and moisten your leather in a safe way.

    I've been printing stamps commercially for 10 years for leather stamping. They stand up very well over time, I've never had a stamp fail in many years. If used correctly the stamp work is amazing. I print at 33% infill with at least 3 shells. My depth of the stamp is 3/8". I use a simple Harbor Freight arbor press with good quality veg tan leather. Most of my stamps are created with the Lulzbot mini with 2.85 PLA filament.

    Looks like you are still getting some dye rubbing off after the conditioner was added. Do you add anything else to the top to stop the dye bleed? I could see this being an issue if someone wears light colored pants or coat and their purse or belt left color behind from friction contact.

    Think you could get even better results by flipping the print and printing by the stamp detail on the print bed and getting a nice even textured surface, instead of the top layer lines that you can see on some stamps. The bed layer will always be better than the top layer. You can add supports and it doesn’t matter the surface quality where the supports hold the top of the stamp since it won’t touch the leather.

    One thing you might want to do in Tinker Cad is to round the corners of the base for the stamp. My method (for other similar projects) is to: Bring in a block that will be cut down to the size of the finished base in the process. Set height to 20 mm, and then size x and y to be larger than the image you are stamping. Apply a Radius to the block. Make sure all the content will still fit within the block space Drag the new 'base' off to the side. Now bring in two "hole' blocks, setting them each for 9 mm in height, and sizing them to the dimension of the base. Center the 'base' on one of the hole blocks, then merge them. This will cut the bottom off the block leaving a flat surface.. Flip the base, and bring it down to the graph bed of the workspace, Center the 'base' on the other 'hole block. Again merge the two, You should have a rounded corner block to use as a base for your stamp. Drag it down to the bed, center the block on the bottom of the stamp image, mirror one or both for the stamp, and export the resulting STL. If you don't merge them, it's a lot easier to extract that base for later re-use on another stamp. The main reason for this is that having a rounded set of corners will leave less chance for a corner to break off, or if there is some reason that the stamp gets started off center, for the corner to end up stamping into the leather. Mostly the former means that at least this part will be less likely to be the reason a given stamp breaks or fails. There's still going to be durability issues with the stamping image of course. 🙂 I believe there are nozzles down to 0.1 mm as well, but as you've no doubt discovered, reducing the nozzle size dramatically increases the time it takes to print. I'd like to see a process that allows you to add some draft angle to the stamped image to improve it's durability, but that's a bit more than TinkerCad can do at the moment. Autodesk would like you to move operations like that into Fusion360, which considering you're doing this as part of a leather working business would likely engage their prohibitively expensive (for most of us anyway) licensing fees. As long as this works, and you're OK with the time it takes to print spares of stamps, and have the sliced versions ready to print replacements at the end of the day, or on demand if the printer is in the back room of your shop, that works too.

    Add Ironing option on your slicer for better final layer result

    I love that the best material ended up being the cheapest and easiest one!

    Why do you think that lefthanded people wear backpacks on their right shoulder? Watch - yes, but a backpack on a shoulder? - this is interesting

      I swing my bag on my left shoulder so I can access it with my right hand. Therefore I assume left-handed people would swing the bag over their right shoulder to access it with their left hand. Would love to hear from left-handed people out there to confirm or deny this :D

    For what it's worth, PLA is not biodegradable in any meaningful way - it requires specialist high-temperature processes to break it down, it's not just something you can toss in your garden composter. The 'PLA is biodegradable and therefor nicer to the environment' thing is something filament manufacturers pushed, but is well debunked in the 3d printing community. That said, it's still the most common and easiest filament to use!

      Thanks for the clarification on this! I must admit to being quite disappointed (though not surprised) to read your comment. I guess I fell into the classic marketing trap...
