So I'm about as green as green can get when it comes to leather work but I've made a few useful pouche's and such. My question is, is there a tutorial on wet forming that you guys could point me to? (Yes I've searched the forum :D) With some of the awesome work I see posted here is was hoping our resident experts could help me. I guess a big question is have (on top of the tutorial) would be is there a method to set the form, to get it to hold if u will? Do you just let it sit and dry?

Thanks in advance guys
 
Have a look at the tutorials at the top of the page and read Gary Graleys ones .
There isnt one dedicated to just wet forming , but it is mentioned in at least one of them .
They helped me a lot .
 
For me the baking I do after wet molding really locks in the shape. Thats discussed in the tutorial on Pancake sheaths.
 
Heat shrinks leather, you can tighten a sheath a little with a paint stripper or hair dryer. But be carefull, the same heat is very bad for glue
