I'm just about to begin doing this as a retirement hobby. I think I've gained more knowledge with two of your videos (so far) than a stack of books I purchased. You're very generous sharing your knowledge. I feel like I should be paying tuition.

For diagonally basket stamping a belt, scribe a straight center line like you normally would if you were doing a straight basket stamp. Then do your first line of basket stamp by putting the bottom left foot of the stamp on the line you scribes as well as the top right foot making the correct angle. Then follow that the whole way down the belt. Much faster and easier than marking diagonal lines

@jayplays568 Ай бұрын

Great video. I was wondering, would you recommend bevelling the border lines? Also, how would you typically finish something like this, would you do a two tone effect where you dye the border and then apply antique paste?

Hi Don, please confirm that the poster-board (no idea how thick that is or what it is called in South Africa) is used to prevent distortion and stretching? How do you paste it to the back, double sided tape, contact glue? Then out of the previous question, do you leave it there or remove it, as I don't normally line my belts?

Don, very well done. I am just getting started carving/stamping leather and I have a question. I noticed most say to put tape on the back of the leather to stop stretching when stamping. I have made a couple Archery arm guards, do these need tape on the back. I have tried packing tape but it pulls the fibers when you take it off, I tried painters tape and it wasn't as bad. What can I do to make the back smoother after I pull the tape off. Thank you.

I hate making belts. I do very few now. Folks give you their pants size instead of belt size, the use a smaller or bigger belt buckle.....any number of things, but they rarely fit. Names on the back are nearly always off center.... You would think something as simple as a strap to go around your middle would be easy, but I have messed up more belts than anything else I've ever made. I basket stamp at an angle exactly the way you showed with that ruler.
