Workshop Description: Leave this class with a fully tooled rifle sling that will last generations. We will work on refining basic tooling skills to add depth and flow to your work. In addition to tooling, there are some basic construction skills to go over. Punching holes, setting rivets, and slicking edges. The best part about this project is that you can make more of them at home without any machines!
Materials to bring: Tooling stone, mallet/maul, stylus, swivel knife, spray bottle or sponge & water dish, tools for carving (checkered bevelers, vertical lined thumbprint, veiner, mules foot, flower center, backgrounder), and note taking materials. (Also bring a headlamp if desired.) If you don’t have the exact tools, that’s ok. I’d rather teach you to tool with what you have than you thinking you have to buy a bunch of stuff just for this class.
Workshop Instructor: Joe owns and operates 23+ in Pendleton, OR. He has been tooling leather since 2005. Through his YouTube channel, online courses, and in person classes, Joe specializes in helping beginning leather toolers. The ah-ha moments that students have, continues to fuel his drive to simplify the learning process.
