Pink anyone?  :eek:



I was trying out dilutions of red dye and inadvertently found out how to make bright pink!  I gave it another coat of full strength red today though, cause I'm thinking it wouldn't exactly be popular ;)

One of my upcoming projects is to try to catalogue all the dyes and dilutions I use, because it's really trial and error to get a feel for each one.  I write the dilution I use in Sharpie on a bunch of lab bottles where I do the mixing, but the problem is alcohol dissolves Sharpie really quick if you get it where you don't want it to be.

Another one is to add even more weight to the rests.  Unfortunately my laser cutter doesn't do metal (otherwise I would have done this long ago), so I've been putting off finding a sheet metal cutter but I sent out some feelers for quotes.  I want to add a stainless steel baseplate underneath the wood to weigh them down even more, but the question is whether the materials cost is doable, so I'm trying to get an idea of how the price per unit changes based on different thicknesses of steel.

That pink is sexy.  I'd love it or a bright teal/torquoise. 

For weight, you might be able to add some thin weights or maybe a thin layer of steel buckshot, but that might be too costly.

Holy crap.  Buffing this piece today has been a nightmare.  For some reason, invisible pink dye particles have infected my apartment everywhere.  This has never happened with any other dye  :-X
Reminds me of when I used to dye my hair purple as a teenager, heh.  Little pink spots randomly everywhere, I attack them with alcohol and then some more show up somewhere else.

I'm hoping I can prod my supplier to get the higher-quality Red Oil dye :P

Also did a bunch more dyeing as I wanted to make a "test sheet" for everything I have.  The new Purple looks pretty nice, and the Grey went way better than expected.

Nope, never tried it before, though I have rivets lying around so I may test a 60% out sometime.

Continuing adventures with dye.

So after a good 3-4 weeks I have finally excised every little pink dye particle from my apartment (I think).
Walking around, I'd get pink socks.  Pink specks in the bathroom.  Oh look, there's pink on my computer chair!  Is that a zit developing on my face---nooo, too pink.
Every time I want to work on leather, I have to clean the surface well with alcohol before applying any water, otherwise magical hidden dye particles will explode into evil pink streaks..

The trouble seems to have been two-fold.
1) Just a bad batch of dye, or too old.  Too much pigment was out of solution even after I diluted the dye down.  I've never had this trouble with oxblood, which is even more pinkish when diluted, though.
2) Too much dilution plus too many coats in an attempt to rescue the colour.

So--no red, ever again, until I can get my hands on the oil type.  >:D

Every dye works differently, and there's a sweet spot where 3-4 coats ends up with perfect colour.  For black that's full strength, 3 coats.  I've got chocolate brown perfect too--1:1 at 4 coats:



On binge's ErgoDox protoype, on the other hand, I did 1:3, and it really shows on the bottom.

Want to know more about leather carving knives (swivel knives)?  :thumb:
They're like anything else--I've bought fancy nice new ones and my favourite still ends up being the crappy $10 knife I've used forever.  :(
Doesn't stop me from wanting to find that elusive perfect knife though.

Every couple of carvings I like to do a quick sharpen.  Sharpening swivel knives is a bit different than your regular knife sharpening (for one, I don't have fine enough stones--I really need a good extra fine diamond hone one of these days), but you start out with usual supplies:  stone, honing solution stuff.  I've got a nice fancy-ass sharpening guide as well--this is for keeping the ideal angle preserved on the knife edges of 30 degrees.  It makes a delightful metal-on-metal screech as it rolls.





Swivel knife blades can be pretty thick and end up with two flat sides of a v-shape tapering to the edge.  You sharpen one side, sharpen the other, then pull back a couple of times on the original side again to remove any burr that has built up.  The trick is making sure the angle is still properly set--hence this holding guide thing.  The second trick is knowing when you have actually sharpened down enough to reach the sharp edge--it's good to colour in the edge with Sharpie and then check on it to make sure all of it comes off properly and the full flat surface has been sharpened down.

Of course, in the leatherworking world there is also proprietary bull****.  That is, the guide only works for one sized blade for one manufacturer.  So for my super 3/8 inch knife, I have to do this the old fashioned way, feeling the angle of the flat face and hoping I don't screw the blade up.



Here is a comparison of my three blades and their sizes:  an angled detail knife, my good old crappy knife, and my big Barry King knife (which I bought reading they were supposed to be amazing and I ended up not really liking at all--I do not have the burly manhands required for this powerful instrument).



So before each carving session, I strop the knives, and in between every couple of cuts I re-strop on the finer compound.  People who are into fancy straight razors and shaving stuff will recognize this kind of setup.  First the coarser side:



Then the fine green stuff:



So this is the knife prep before carving something.  I actually do use all three of the knives for different purposes.  For example, here's what I worked on the other day:



You can get a thicker or thinner carved line depending on the angle of attack and pressure of the blade.  However, for the small ticks and flourishes, it's simplest to use the big blade to do them first.  I also use the thick blade for the straight lines, both because on this script they're quite thick and emphasized and because bigger blade=straighter line.

Here's the same piece just after I have filled in the rest of the letters using my normal knife:



You can see all the test work I do in the background--I had to figure out what the best combination of blades and tools were for these letters, whether bold or regular worked better, and so on.  I always do at least one practice for every carving I do, but this one took a lot more figuring out since something simple is the simplest to make look bad!

Sure, I have done a couple customs with no dye, just natural leather.  Here's one for example, this one with purple stitching:



This does have a light coat of acrylic finish, though, just to protect it from sweat stains and so on (and UV, which will tend to darken the leather over time).

Thought this post would fit better here--I'm experimenting with colour and how acrylics interact with dye.  Some of them look amazing straight out of the bottle, while others (the lighter ones especially) don't look great until they're layered a bit.  On the other hand it's really easy to make the coat too thick.



I think these look a little better here than irl.  I wasn't satisfied with either white here honestly.  On the one hand, the white dye (left) looks really really uneven, but on the other (left), acrylic that's thick enough looks a bit gross.  One solution (which I used on this one) is to thin the acrylic and build up coats.  The problem is it takes a really long team since you want it to fully dry in between each one (and I feel bad, this rest for lcs has taken much longer than I wanted because of it :( ).  I really wanted the off-white here, though, so I think it was worth the wait.  (I worked out some of the issues with grey on this one too.)



But I think my best idea has been a white dye "primer" and then 1-2 white acrylic layers, which seems to adhere fine and even responds well to touchups.  Maybe this will work well as a method for making sure other acrylic colours are nice and bright.

You can't mass produce your kind of talent. I love what you're doing and I will definitely be looking to buy one of your wrist rests.

Man, I am such a huge fan of your work. You are a true artisan. I can tell how much pride you take in the fit and finish, but you also have the artistic eye to give each piece it's own character. Awesome!
I'm back.
