Beveling and the illusion of depth in leather tooling, a 2 minute tool tip
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Ever look at someones tooling and think: How did they get that incredible depth on thinner leather? Saddle skirting is not a problem for deep tooling, but when working with 6oz, or even 2oz, there's a trick to the "illusion of depth"

Aaron, there must be a million videos that would show the use of one beveler/shader on a line. I think I've watched half of them. The impact of sequentially working the cut line really sets this apart from the rest. It's the nuances of technique that you show that take things to a higher level. Now it's on me to get somewhere slightly better than completely sucking at using a swivel knife.
Tools tips are great. I also noticed your tool racks in the back ground. Hole punches and such. Can you do a video on how you set up your shop and maybe some tips on tool organizations. Keep up the great project and tips video.
Thank you for all the "Tool Tips". You making me tru newer things, that I've been hesitant to try
Thanks man, that was very clear, and I have seen a lot of beveling videos and not one has covered that.
Thank you! It’s the littlest things that can mean so much your followers, regardless of our experience. This tip is so friggen useful to me!!
you are a good teacher
Funny that this showed up in my feed. I've been really trying to get into tooling and I'm trying to soak up all the information I can! Thank you for this!

Check out the other videos on my channel... and feel free to let me know if there's one you'd like to see me make.
I'm a beginner too. Thanks for the tips. It would be helpful if the camera angle showed close up the position of the tool to the cut/leather.
Thank you! This was very insightful. When trying to get more depth I would find myself hitting a little harder and then having to go back with spoon to smooth out where you could see the backside of the beveler.🤦♂️
Thank you
Good tip! And for your next video, can you check the focus on your camera? It appears a bit off. Thanks for the lesson!
Question I’m new to all this. Do you wet your leather before stamping and punching or work with it dry? Like in your video here did you have to prep the leather at all? Thanks

I lightly sprayed it with water before I started.

I'll take "things I didn't notice until after the video was posted" for 300, Alex! Ha ha ha
So do you use both bevelers in succession? Or just the flat beveler?

It can work either way

One of the problems I have is a “bunching” of the leather on the opposite side of my bevel tool. So on the opposite side of the cut line I have a bunched up line of leather on the. Cut line edge. I can’t seem to keep the tool from sliding down the cut line as I bevel and crunching that opposite edge. Thoughts?

whats the number for the last tool?
So you're placing the flatter side of the beveler against the cut line and moving incrementally. I can't see the placement of the toolhead on the line in order to get started. Sorry, but I'm a beginner.

Yes. The tall side of the beveler goes against the cut line
