CNC Leather Working

Post by Fleming »

I have been experimenting with using my CNC to do leather working. This is my first time trying to work with leather but thought I would share what I have learned so far. Below is a PDF that documents what I have learned to date and show some techniques that produce good results. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the kind remarks :D

I do want to remind anyone who tries this to MIRROR the drawing when creating the male/female carvings.

I will try to write up a simple step by step project and post it in a few days using wood to create the stamping blanks.

This would be nice to see if the offer is still there.
The more I learn the more I forget.
