    It seems I have been trying to learn tooling on leather that is too thin. I think I finally figured out why your cuts look so different from mine. The leather you are using is like twice the thickness of what I have been struggling with. Also, the finger being right down on the surface, controlling the swivel better. Thank you, sir!!

      If forced to tool thinner leather for whatever reason, get a roll of that white, closed cell high density foam. I think they call it EVA Foam, Craft foam, or Cosplay foam. It lets the leather stretch further, beyond the level of the surface it's sitting in, giving you deeper impressions with your stamping tools.

    I’m new to the craft and my biggest thing with tilting my punch’s and bevels is looking at where I was rather then where I’m going I try to tip it and see how it hit ranther then take a second and look to see if I like the way it came out

    Thank you so much! I was getting frustrated yesterday with my choppy beveling. I will give it another try with these tips! Is there a way to repair choppy beveling or is it best to just start over?

  • @Brandyp2010
    @Brandyp2010 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Outstanding 👏
    I want to learn how to shade initials...
    It was hard to see the results of the beveling, because the leather was flat... You picked it up on some occasion...
    Nevertheless, you did an outstanding job of explaining everything...
    Wonderful job 👏👏
    Thank you 🙏

    Another awesome video full of great tips. And incredibly well explained. Thank you Joe. As an aside, is there any idea of an approx timeline as to when your beginner deluxe stamping tool kit might be available for purchase again?

    My memory is effected by my disability. With that said, I may write multiple and separate comments. 1st) You haven't said it yet, but as a beginner I have noticed that the tilt of the beveler, you have made a resemblance of a cattail weed and if you turn the beveler around and do the same thing, you've created a silhouette of a cattail... lol. I know that wasn't the point just saying. 2) you haven't mentioned it yet at least about stopping the swivel knife and not completing the lines but stopping before the joining of the lines. That shows me that you have done this for a while. I have heard it from other vid posters. Just an observation.

  • @delandbrooks3291
    @delandbrooks3291 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just as an observation. Where you showed the choppiness of the bevel on the longer curves. It seems like that would be a technique to enhance the look of certain pieces. Possibly the beginning of a leaf vein. And a Question. Are there designs where you would choose not to bevel? The petals you did without beveling seem to have gained definition from the shader.

    Would you be so kind as to do a video on FL type stuff...such as Palm Trees, palmettos, fish etc....? Thanks PS - also I've noticed that when I get some of these tools (Most of em) they're really small - much smaller than I expected. Great video - helped a lot. Thanks

    Haven’t stared the craft yet waiting for my tools been watching a lot of videos. No one explains what side of the line to bevel. How do you know what side of the line to bevel?

  • @magnusosmond1835
    @magnusosmond1835 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Would a flat not checkered bevel look better or are the checkered patterns there for a reason

  • @garretgardipy1141
    @garretgardipy1141 ปีที่แล้ว

    When doing leather tooling can I do sections at a time? I’m fairly new to it but was unsure about it. I also noticed in your videos that you wet the whole leather and not just the section your working on. Reason why for that?

    to case leather you need to wet both sides of the leather. If you tape one side, you're not casing.

    Could you do a video of which swivel blades you prefer, and which ones you would suggest for various projects?
