“All-In-One is great stuff to work with.” - Joe Shostak

UNIVERSAL CLIPSPerfect for belts and pockets.

These projects can be finished in two different ways, with or without the Universal Clips. The Pocket Protector ver-sion without clips holds in a shirt pocket by the clips on the pens or screwdrivers that are placed in the holder. The version with the clips will fit securely in a shirt pocket. Depending on whether clips are used will determine wheth-er to tool on part A or part B.Have you thought about reselling? This month’s contributor, Joe Shostak, shares with us that he regularly sells non-tooled scale holders (no metal rule included) for £12 on eBay, several times a month.

A book cover suggestion is off

ered this month, featuring the silhouette

carving technique. The lettering, shield and signs of the zodiac w

ere taken from

the book “Inverted Leather Carving” by Al Stohlm

an. This book off

ers hundreds of ideas and patterns on silhouette carving.

The silhouetted horse is used to show

how figures can be used along w

ith floral or leaf silhouettes. Th

ere are two diff

erent designs shown on the photo.

The bottom

half of the photo is an oak leaf design with som

e single line cut-ting. Th

e upper half of the page offers a floral single line design. Either one

of the designs can be completed by reversing the pattern to com

plete the op-posite side. Th

e two patterns show

n are not meant to used together...they are

offered as tw

o separate designs...giving you more choice and variety.

The floral design is carved by using the sam

e techniques shown on last

month’s page. Th

e oak leaf design is more m

assive in appearance yet has flow

and fine line cutting. You’ll note the midrib of the leaves are raised, not

matted dow

n. Careful cutting is required here. Craftools #A98 and #A

99 are alm

ost exclusively used for matting the oak leaves and acorns...as w

ell as for the lettering and the signs of the zodiac; Leo and Cancer. You can personalize your ow

n work by using your ow

n birth signs and/or other insignias, letters, brands, etc., that m

ay suit your needs.

The pointed background tool #A

98 and #A99 are used to m

at the shield and ribbon and leaf eff

ect, as well as the signs of the zodiac. W

hen matting w

ith these tools, use care to strike the tools w

ith even force from the m

allet for sm

ooth effects. Th

ese tools are also used on the horse’s ears, tail, mane, legs

and bushes. Use the larger m

atting tools on the horses’s head, neck and body.

When cutting the border lines, use a ruler or a straight edge as a guide. Bevel

on each side of the border line as shown in the photo. Craftool #P216 w

as used to give the outer border area a m

ottled effect. Th

e outer border area can be increased to enlarge the size of the album

cover if desired.

This Doodle Page w

as originally published in 1969;subsequently not all of the tools are available.
