Jim, not sure if anyone's monitoring comments still, but I wanted to say that I tried beveling for the first time today and I find that my fingernails marked the leather while holding the beveler and trying to move it along as you explain. I'm a female, but cut my nails way down almost to the quick. Have any advice on how to avoid that & leave my nails short but not soooo short? Thank You so much for your video series, I've learned so much and have saved them to refer to often.
I'm just starting out with leather tooling and already running into a problem I can't seem to find an answer to: why isn't my beveling actually changing the color/tone of the leather? It just looks like a stamped down mess with no shading color or burnished look to it. Please help!
I see you have some pretty heavy leather but with 4-5 oz leather its hard to get real depth with my beveler, is angling the tool necessary or mabe a beveler with less of an angle ?
+Yaygens Jim used a 4-5 oz leather for this project, however he used rubber cement to attach matboard to the back to prevent it from stretching and to allow for deeper tooling impressions.
Think of beveling like you are adding a shadow. If you want the object to appear in the forefront of the picture then you bevel around the outside of it's lines. The answer to your question is one of personal preference in how you want the picture to be shaded.
VERY good series.
Thank you very much for these useful tips
Thanks for posting this whole series of videos
Beautiful work. Thank you so much. Very helpful
Dang this series is helpful!!! THANK YOU.
¨their teeth into my leather¨ haha i like how you show the right way of doing it and the wrong way
It seems like I often have to bevel first as the Pear Shading tends to close the cuts. Any suggestions? Thanks for these videos,
Steve Fuller you likely need to make your cuts deeper.

It’s obvious that you’ve done this a few times. Nice design.

That is because your leather doesnt have the right moisture...

How do you remove the matboard when you are done working on the leather?
How can you tell if the leather is too wet or not wet enough?
Thank you teacher. thank you very much :)

Your instructions are great , but you need more close up video detail on the tooling portion. Thanks.....
Which side of the line do you bevel on. You dont explain it.
