tooling patterns

[cowboy316]

any body have any cool pattern or ideas of where to down load some let me know please

Hey Marshal Will? I know we have a library for border stamp ideas, but hows about making one for patterns? I'd imagine it'd have to be set up to be non-copyrighted stuff (original only) maybe?

Thoughts?

[Marshal Will Wingam]

I agree that it can be a useful reference. Let's see what gets posted here and if it looks promising, we can add this thread to the FAQ thread for future reference. Good idea, RT. Thanks.

ive got a few of my own custom patterns that ive drawn out for things like clock faces and guitar straps and i can always draw up more for just about anything  ill get a scanner hooked up and load some asap 

[cowboy316]

here are 2 of my own patterns drawn up last night

[Marshal Will Wingam]

They look good Cowboy. The flowers and leaves are a nice shape. The bottom one would be great as a borderless design. One idea you may want to play with; make the design wide enough on the folded side to wrap around to the back so there is tooling on all the visible surface of the pouch.

Marshal
    Thank you  i agree with you on the bottom design  now that i look at it

You don't need a pistol. Make one for something else you carry. There's some outfit that makes purses and such that look like Cheyenne style holsters.

  Cowboy i will be looking forward to seeing that mirror frame when you get it tooled. It should truly be a thing of beauty.
