Moving on from cutting the leather pieces out, we now needed to tool in some detail into parts… The image is a drop piece from the belt.

If you want to apply any kind of mark to leather and keep it sharp and permanent, you need to case the leather first.

This means you simply damp the leather using a wet sponge or water spritzer (you will see the leather go a darker colour) then as it returns to close to original colour, this is the time to apply marks/tooling/stamping.

Case your leather front and back, you leather needs to be damp, not soaking!

Because we wanted to create an edge effect to this shape, we use a creaser (image 2) adjusted to the width we require, to gently press in a line for us to follow.

For freehand designs, or transferring a pattern from paper, you can use a stylus, empty ballpoint pen or anything with a rounded end.  The one in the first image is actually from a set we picked up in the 99p shop in the manicure section!

Now we needed to cut in the line we marked out around the edge using a swivel knife. 

These come with a variety of knife blades and can be straight edged, angled, metal or ceramic, large or small.

The image shows an angled ceramic blade.

For tooling in the edge that we cut in, we used a beveler and a maul (mallet)

As you can see the beveler is a wedge shaped tool, you run the fat edge along the cut line, using the maul to tap it as you go.  This is tricky first time around, but gets so much better with practice!

In the last image you can see the effect this has on the leather.

This is how the beveler sits in the cut line as you tap it with the maul while moving it along the line.

The next stage in this process is edges, dyeing and finishing…to follow!
