Very informative video. I’ve been seeing quite a few vids with the leather but it seems to mostly be chrome tan leather which traditionally can’t be “tooled”. Veg tan however can be after it’s ‘cased’ (dampened). So I was curious as to whether the Deboss tool would work any better on cased veg tanned leather rather than chrome tanned.

Thank you for this video it was wonderfully helpful. I tried to engrave on a 36 gauge copper sheet with my maker. The engraving was very light and it didn't cut out the shape at all. What setting does it need to be on to cut through the copper? Many thanks!
