SOA reaper for leatherwork

[Nicolas Silva]

I've been busy getting some samples ready for a demo I'm doing at my CNC group next week on 4th Axis rotary turning that I haven't had much of a chance to make any leather embossing plates. But I got this one done which is the reaper from the SOA show. It is 4" tall so it will fit nicely on a biker wallet or roper wallet, and it cut into delrin plastic and embossed using a 1 ton press. This is just the pressing. The actual plate is a rather unimpressive looking square white block.
Cheers!

Nicolas,

Thanks for sharing the picture. Its always enjoyable to see your embossing work.

Very nice work. I've done a few with my laser but I believe yours is better.

[Nicolas Silva]

thank you. My laser is still getting 90% of the real work but the CNC is picking up speed.
It just depends on what I'm working on. I've probably only made about 10% of the models I use.
The other 90% are purchased because there is just SO much good artwork out there for only a few bucks.
