Another great video Daniel. I would love to see more jewelry projects.
I would love to see more tooling for the newbie. And where do you find tooling patterns or how do you create a pattern. I would love to do a cross
Would like to see you make a leather snap bracelet with a design of daisy style flowers
Always looking for new projects. That sounds like a great one!
I am fresh to leathercraft so I would appreciate a beginner series maybe...? With the steps you mentioned in the beginning of the video. What a great tutorial! Thank you!
I am a serious beginner. I would like a very beginner friendly video on terms,applications and such. Thanks
Hey Daniel, I'm just starting on this type of tooling. Even though I've done the stamping, I thing doing a video on the steps leading up to the tooling would be good. Also if you would show the proper method of sharpening and stropping the swivel knife. Please and thank you. And as always a great video
I really enjoyed the video, but I am still interested in seeing the earrings. Can you do another video with tooled earrings. Thank you
I just got an air brush kit and would love to see a complete beginner guide to first start up to thinning paint and blending please!
Would love to see a video on stropping tools and/or how to salvage hard, dry rouge
Love this channel, Weaver's Chuck is who got me into leatherwork, glad to see more faces of the company. Regarding design projects, I'd love to see something about doing feather/fur in carving.
Making mistakes is natural. Knowing how to correct the mistake while leaving it in your project is skill! I’m at the stage in my leather craft where “tooling” is something I really want to achieve. I would really like to see more in depth tooling project videos. Daniel, I can’t count how many times my wife criticized my projects when I thought I was finished only to step back and look at it from a different prospective, my wife’s prospective and the art of give and take resolves the problem.
Best regards, Richard
Good morning Daniel, I'm Lorraine your new subscriber. I have learned so much from your tutorial. You're a great teacher with excellent skills. Job well done.!!!
Awesome Video!!! I would suggest beginner guide on how to keep your tools sharp, everything from swivel knife, bevelers, and bag punches.
I would love to see a video on uses for a modeling spoon. I hear experienced guys say, “Now go over this with a modeling spoon.” Others talk about modifying them to suit specific needs. Why? How?
Thank you so much for your videos!! I would like to see a video on tooling for beginners. Learning when / where to shade, background, where decorative cuts would go. That kind a thing. Thanks again!!
Firstly I love your videos. I’m a beginning leather crafter and am having a little bit of a difficult time. I would love to see videos of very beginner projects. A video on how you transfer the picture onto the leather. I’m also a makeup artist who uses airbrushing to apply the make up. So I’m very interested to see how to paint the leather via airbrushing. Thank you soo much. Loved the keychain but would love to see earrings and jewelry
01/09/2023 4:45pm. I would like to see a video on cutting out the same size or piece of leather. I always seem to cut them a little bit off. I never get two exactly alike.
Thanks for the video. My first thought was "those things are LARGE, I don't know anyone who will wear those". I can make the basic cuts but I don't have an artistic bone in my body. When you started adding features there at the end I was lost. Is there any way to help explain how you knew to add that tooling? It would also help me if some of the information was documented in a form I could print out. Thanks again.
I have been tooling for a couple of years now, I would like to see more information on airbrushing. Specifically cordless airbrushing.
Excellent! Weaver Leather Supply has the best videos with the best artists and craftsmen Thank you all. I struggle cutting leather with a box cutter. For example, I fail every time I attempt to cut a rectangle from a piece of leather. A video on this topic would be much appreciated.
Exactly how the beveled is oriented to make the groove, how hard to hit the maul, and casing, casing, casing.
I would like to see some guidance on designing. How to fill the space properly and maybe different design styles like asian, celtic, aztec/mayan, poly etc.
Great video! I'm new to leathercrafting so any tutorial would be great! Thank for the outstanding instruction.
Hahahah, Wonderful video. We all have had that one moment of "Uups..." In the a project. I once was almost done sewing a buffalo skull keyring doing saddle stitch when I realised to my horror I was supposed to be doing a cross stitch... Nothing to do but to cut and re-sew.
As a suggestion for a future video, how about a tool care video where you show how to care for some or the more obscure tools, for instance, how to sharp a hole puncher, or when to use the granite slab and when not
I’m a very much beginner and i would appreciate seeing how you taped and removed taped backing, if that was done for this project.
Great video!!! I am new to leather crafting and always excited to learn more. Any how too video is much appreciated. 😊
I have never made anything in leather! I have bought all of the tools and am ready! Any videos for 'newbies' would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for a channel that has a person like me in mind so I don't have to jump around from person to person. I like to be loyal!!! Thanks
Thank you for the informative video. I haven't done much in the way of carving, so this was a good one to watch for me. I'd like to see a video on airbrushing, seeing as I'm planning on buying one in the near future. I'd also like recommendations on airbrush machines.
Great video. As a beginner, I’d like to see how you’d make a eyeglass/sunglass case. Thank you.
What different techniques do you use when looking at either water base or spirit based dyes for thinning and colour merging. Issues to look at - does water based dyes "weep" if used on wet/damp leather when spraying etc.
We all make mistakes but pros can adjust and use it to their advantage.
Unless I cut through a few holes.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Suggestions. Show your technique for hand stitching so it looks good, the same,on both front and back. Thank you.
New to the craft and I love it, even though I don't get much time to practice I still try. My recommendation is that I only have TH-cam and other vids to learn. What would be a good starting video to get others interested in this wonderful craft?
Would love to see a video of the same tools being used on different weights of leather, if only to see the difference in the impression so I can decide if I'm doing something wrong or if the weight of the leather is making a major difference.
A comparison of cheap and quality tools too (to justify some purchases).
HI Daniel I would like a video on tooling I am 13 and benn doing leather for two years but just started carving could also use avido on antiquing thanks for the videos🙂
Thanks for the video. I was quite intrigued about your painting techniques. I still need to go back and watch the leather tooling series. It started while I was very busy with other things so it's on my "gotta get to those" list.
I would like to see a video on making and using custom color antique made with the neutral antique paste. Especially any input on proportions when mixing up a custom color antique paste.
Not sure if you’ve done this already but I’d like to see a primer on finishes/resists and they’re advantages, disadvantages and what applications you’d use each one for
loved this video and definitely want to see more of simple and beginner tooling and i always want to see more jewellery :) decided to add on to this, mistake videos, you made a mistake on here and had a fix, but could these be trimmed down into earrings and if not why not, or how "not" to use certain things and why, or if your tooling leather and you make a mistake is there any way to fix it or cover it or do you really have to start again? Veg tan leather is pretty expensive so fix videos for novices like me would be great as I'm gonna make mistakes :p
very nice. A good save. would like to see more tooling videos. thanks for going slow and explaining the technique.
This video is exactly what I’ve been looking for, beginner projects that will slowly introduce me to my tools. I’ve wanted to get started for such a long time but always worry about what to do if I make a mistake so I don’t start. It was very nice to see how you worked through this one! For a video suggestion, I’d love to see different ways to tackle text and how to integrate it into different tooling projects. Thank you!
Thanks for your informative videos. I am just getting into airbrushing and would more information on thinning dyes and paints.
Thanks, a great video for a beginner like me.
I’ve seen mandala style designs on leather notebooks, bags, etc. I’d love to see some instructional videos re tooling mandalas. Thanks again.
Thank you for the inspirational video on leather working. Good idea, turn one project into another valuable and beautiful idea.
I really enjoyed this video. I’m a beginner who loves the art of tooling leather. The next video that I would be interested in learning about is creating patterns. I often have to print out someone else’s pattern. Specifically in areas of western or Sheridan style tooling.
Great video! Excellent tools and techniques. One of the most helpful I’ve seen for doing flowers on small areas!
Nice earings. I am a very beginner with only a little experience making a hatchet cover and some gouge covers. It was amazing to see how the details just kept coming and coming and intricate the earings were when finished! Nice.I was wondering about preparing the leather when done.I do not prefer painting but keeping it fresh and preserving it. Also that deer foot looks very interesting. Also I see that you strop on the swede side of the strope and am wondering how sharp you want to get the tool, or not so you do not hammer through it.
Thank you! I can definitely add those to the list of videos.
You can use the finished or flesh side for stropping. You just want a nice sharp edge to the blade when you're done. If the blade drags or stutters, you either need to strop it a few more times or moisten your leather.
When you say "So you don't hammer through it" I'm assuming you're talking about when you're beveling. If you cut roughly 1/3rd of the way through the leather (less for very thin leathers), you shouldn't have a problem with "hammering through it."
First off, love your work. As for suggestions, I'd love to see more detailed videos on hand painting, using the lifter tool, and beginner air brushing. Thank you!! 👍👍👍
Great video. I would love to learn but need to get the courage up to invest in beginner tools. Really would love to see more beginner projects just explaining what each tool does and compare side by side and learning what tools are absolutely necessary to start with.
I'd love to see a video on how to sharpen edge bevelers and groovers, particularly edge bevelers. It is so frustrating to deal with a dull tool and the groove in the beveler makes it almost impossible to sharpen.
🤭 I was watching the whole video to see how you shrink these down to earrings hahaha
Great video thanks for the details!
I would love to see something on beveling and slicking tight corners So hard 😞
wow , they are awsome ,loved them 😍, but i also think they are to big , beside a keychane you could have done a neckles , just an idea 🙂, i would love to see how to paint on leather and learn more about diferents tools 🤩
This is the comment I am leaving for the contest. I would love to see some tooling that isn't flowery or western looking, some type of modern print designs
I would like to see airbrushing patterns and designs. More in depth tips and instructions. Pros and cons at an in depth perspective.
Those earrings are amazing beautiful however I would like to see more on keeping your tools sharp again
Thank for this video it was very nice. I would like to see how to control a swivel knife and how to mix paint to get a better colors thanks
Airbrushing backgrounds to develop depth and shading
I would love to see airburshing dyes on pre and post tooled items, so is it better to do it before or after tooling (if you don't mind the colour bleeding too much)
Would love to see thinning of different finish coats and proper cleaning of the air brush after different medians have been ran through it.
You aren't the first to run into a misstep! I would love to see techniques on air brushing.
I would like to see a carved animal video. Interested in seeing how detailed you can get before things get too cluttered.
Great video and I’m new to this as well. I’d like to see a video on the dear-foot tool to do more lifting. Wow that made the flowers pop.
Thats one of my favorite techniques.
Happy to add that to the list.
Thank you! My son & I just started, he would like to see a video on braiding horse tack and I would like to see a video on carving letters/brands on your project.
Wow, great video. As a total newbie to leather working, more videos on the dear-foot moulding tool would be really useful and informative. It just makes the design come alive!
How about a video on preparing a reusable pattern and how it should be safely transferred onto the leather.
Learning how to figure out where to shade in tooling would be a great video! I have a hard time figuring it out.
Hi, new to tooling and I would love to know how to crease and burnish leather without power tools
Thanks for the video. Would like to see a video on how to transfer patterns to leather for tooling
Airbrushing for beginners would be a good video. Thanks
I would Like to see a video on different laceing techniques and styles
Just getting started in leather craft. I would like to see a video on casing. How much is too wet, too dry and just right.
A video about how to incorporate beadwork in a leather belt or so would be great!
Or maybe tips on backgrounds to make a project pop
I would love to see a video on airbrushing a sunburst fade
I would like to see a video on the uses of the modeling tool. great work.
I would really like to see a video on how you can use a Dremel tool to get better results in several areas like burnishing.
I've never thought about using it like that, but its an interesting idea. I'll experiment with it.
Love to see some entry level, air brush painting videos
I love what yall do for beginners....
I would like to see a video on oak leaf and acorn tooling. Thank you
The basics of beginning airbrushing leather
Nice video. My dad passed away last year. He was doing leather work since 1970. He was always told to start a business. But only did it for family and friends. Never charged. I guess relaxing for him. But i received his tools. So i tried starting a project for my two girls( small purses) and what i think is 2- 3 oz or 3-4. Very thin. We i got to the point of stitching. And it just blows out the edges. Big mistake trying that. All the patterns where cut and dyed. 😞. I do have some 8-9 oz. But dont have a skiver tool. My nearest shop is 45 miles away. And im unemployed. So thats out of the question. Wish i learned more from my dad. I have been watching Chuck on here did my first mystery braid and 4 strand braid. 👍
Sorry you lost your dad. I can imagine thats very difficult. Learning leather craft has to feel like a way to keep him with you though. For the 8-9 oz leather, you could make a belt for them. Just add spots and decorative rivets. That would add a lot of shine, which young girls usually love. Keep at it...lots of projects you can do when you're new to leather crafting.
Sorry for the double post but I just thought of a good one. Can you show and explain the steps of finishing. After the tooling what's next? Resist, oil, paint, antiquing, sealer. Things like that. I know everyone has a different way but a basic knowledge of the steps will help new leather workers. I still struggle with it sometimes.
Great idea!
Thank you for these videos. I really do appreciate them.
I’m a total newbie at leatherwork. I bought the tools, books on leather work, various leather thicknesses and I’ve been watching TH-cam videos. One thing i find is no one tells you which leather is being used. To say “ a thicker leather” is not helpful, as i bought 5 ounces or 10 ounces.it’s confusing for me. Give specific parameters please! If there is a specific video on that subject, not general but for carving use between 4 and 6 ounces… I’d love to find it! . I’m sure most others will think it obvious, but this is the reason why I’m not working the leather. I have practiced on scraps but when i go through i don’t know if it’s too much pressure or leather is not thick enough. I have found that videos from “leather people “ go through this part so fast i can get frustrated and just move on to something else.
Thank you so much
Thats great feedback. I've been meaning to add a graphic in that tells the weight of leather being used. I'll make sure that gets added from now on. This was about 5oz leather.
Wow absolutely amazing. I'm intrigued and would love to learn more on the steps that u posted in the beginning of video. Thanks for sharing these amazing techniques with me. Never did any leather work before.
You should try it! It's an amazingly rewarding craft, and one thats easy to get started in.
I would like to see a video on what are the common names of tools and groupings of what they are used for... For example: these are common lifting tools, backgrounders, edge stamps...etc. As a beginner, I have a whole collection of tools, some of which i have no idea of their intended purpose. (Think-serpentine stamp or camouflage tool-i had to come across the names of these on various videos, by happenstance) it would be good to have one video to check out for at least some basic utilization. Sorry so long, hope it makes sense. Thanks so much!
Great idea. Hadn't considered that. Love it.
I would like to see a video on unorthodox dying techniques.
I'd love a video on how to tool animals, such as a dog
Can you show the best way to hot wax the edge of leather?
I would love to see y’all form a play list for all things beginner. I haven’t done one project yet but got a beginner kit for Christmas. I have no idea where to start. Should I use a piece of leather to just practice tools? Use a pattern or try to free hand? 😅
I agree. Thats been on my list to talk to Weaver about. At this point, we've got multiple "technique" videos geared towards beginners...makes sense to put them in a play list.
The ear ring video was excellent just want to know how much drying time is good before you add the Tan-Kote finish.😎
Thank you! 20-30 min usually. As long as its not tacky to the touch, you're good to go.
I would love to see a pop culture figure carve
Great video. I am one of those newbies you mentioned. Weaver has a number of kits that don’t have videos. That’s a gap I’d like to see filled. I’d also like to see a video on a sort of whimsical top hat like mad hatter or maybe steampunk. In this video, it wasn’t clear to me which lines needed cuts, and after that which side to bevel and why - see I told you total noob.
Lots of great ideas, and great feed back for me. Love the idea of a steampunk tophat.
A painting video would be great
I am just learning. How do you get good clean edges when you cut out patterns? I have tried using a straight edge and utility knife. But I almost always have to sand it to try and get it straight. What grit do you use when sanding?
Simple answer to your question, is to use a very sharp blade, and make multiple passes over it, letting the blade do the work. That being said, it's still very common to need a bit of sanding to smooth it out perfectly. It's so common, that Weaver even sells machines for it.
Anything on more airbrushing
Yes the basic are always good you may have different techniques .I have been working with leather for several years now. Eney one can learn new ways if you stop learning it is to late.
Agreed! I hope I never get so arrogant that I think I can't learn something from everyone.
I'd love to see tooling a pair of flip flops!
I would love to see and wide watch band
Just starting in the leather crafting hobby and would love to learn more about tooling and getting the leather set to tool.
why pick just one since this is for beginners why not have both tooling and airbrushing to get people a taste of both since many will be tooling and painting
Maybe we'll get a chance to do an airbrush giveaway. 🙂
