Hardened gourds
Prepare gourds before you use them for wood burning stamps. A dried gourd is covered in a thin layer called the epidermis. This is removed by scrubbing and then soaking. The exterior of the dried gourd can then be sanded to make a smooth surface. After the gourd has dried, remove the pulp from the surface and scrape it. You can either remove the pulp from the bottom of your gourd and make it flatter, or you may use sand to weigh down your gourd figures.
To get rid of any mold, dust or other contaminants on the gourds, you will first need to clean them. Moldy gourds should be washed well outside. For stamps, it is possible to drill holes in gourds.
Leather
You might want to get a hot stamp if you work with leather. There are many tools you can purchase, but the simplest one is a metal-cylinder cylinder. The metal cylinder has a heating element that reaches a high temperature while burning leather. It is expensive but well worth the investment. Before making your purchase, make sure you research the various tools that are available to you in order to create your custom stamps.
A tracing sheet of paper may be an option to mark the leather. The dampened leather can be covered with the tracing paper. Tape it over the leather. It is important to leave a little indentation at either end of your line. Although tracing paper is possible, it is much more convenient to directly sketch onto the leather surface.

How To
How to make wood joints
This tutorial will help you join two pieces of wooden together. The "pocket hole joint" is a method whereby we drill holes into the wood and glue them together. If your wood has a straight grain, smooth surface, you can use this method. Dowel joinery might be a better option if your wood is not straight or flat. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the edges of the wood will help to prevent the joint from splitting later.
-
Glue both sides together. Apply glue on both sides of the wooden plank. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.
-
Clamp the Pieces Together. After the glue has dried thoroughly, secure the pieces so that they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Make sure to leave enough room between the pieces so that you can turn them inside and out.
