Leather bulges, cuts and bulges

by There are several ways to make a drum with one skin per day. Cutting and drumming is just one of them. The characteristic is that the way of drumming is more three-dimensional and will not become too thick due to padding. Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, there are certain restrictions on the thickness of the leather. If it is too thin, the effect will not be very good, and it will be difficult to operate.

I am usually very I rarely do cutting and bulging, because the thickness of the leather I choose is not suitable for cutting, but it is occasionally used, so I made some changes to the way of bulging, making it look less three-dimensional. Rounder. Lets officially start; there are three tools to be used first, namely the glass backing plate, the leather cutter, and the groove digger.

Step One . Adjust the width of the groover according to your own needs. I usually adjust it according to the width of the groover. For example, if it is 4mm, adjust it to 4mm, which refers to the inner diameter width between the cutter head and the edge. This step can be done directly with a knife, because the cut section is flatter, but it requires extremely high control of the knife, so it is not suitable for novices and can easily cut through. Nowadays, there is a more labor-saving tool called a side-supporting shovel, but it has certain restrictions on the width and is not flexible enough.

A certain angle, Press the leather knife forward and push it flatly. When pushing, control the force to keep the knife balanced up and down, and be careful not to cut the inner wall of the knife corner.

If you cut once If it is not flat enough, it can be trimmed again appropriately. It is best to keep the thickness of the edge flat.

It can be seen that there are two trapezoidal sections.

In this step, I applied glue directly without using a shaping rod or twisting Wait for the tool to shape it first, this is the key to looking rounder.

Use flat-nose pliers to compact the glue, making sure that the width is exactly the width cut off.

It doesn't matter if you don't have flat-nose pliers. Use a smooth shaping rod to compact along the edge little by little. Don't If you use too much force, it will easily discolor the leather.

After the glue is dry, use a grooving tool of appropriate width to press out the wire trough.

Cut along the groove.

The middle is patched up, so the hole looks a bit big.

It doesn't matter. Use the grooving tool to press a few more times. The principle is to compact the leather at the edge of the cut hole and the hole will be smaller.

Sew the thread.

Use a shaping rod slightly on the inside Pass it through, don't use too much force, the purpose is to stretch out some of the glue that passes through the line.

The drumming effect can already be seen.

The effect will be more obvious after edge sealing.

It is not so three-dimensional and looks very natural.

But everyone has their own preference for radish and cabbage. You can use it in whatever way you like. There is no need to cater to the trend.
