Everything we just did in class on the 21st at Weavers! Was real happy with how mine turned out! Lisa

Great video Joe.

Again an outstanding Video, where a real Artist let hard Handcraft look easy. Thanks for this Lesson and sharing the Knowledge 👍

Thank you, Thomas!

Yes! Please do more on this subject. Chuck has a feather that he repeats on many of his projects. Could you do something like that?

Love it

Nice one

This was one of those things that when I saw this, I thought "PHFFFT, I CAN DO THAT..." I dont want to discourage anyone from trying something new. Its always better to do something and fail than to sit on the couch eating junk food (which was what I would of been doing had I not attempted this). ...but I promise you, it is not as easy as he makes this look. I went out, got the tools, got the pattern, already had the leather.. My flower looks sooooo BAD! lol. As soon as I made my first cut with the swivel knife I thought "Oh No, this is not easy". I need tools that are like 25% of the size to get in there and get that kind of detail. The best way to describe what my project looks like: Take his beautifully tooled journal cover and then imagine what it would look like if you were looking at it while under water. Meaning no definition, all blurry and fuzzy, hard to make out.. Just bad. I need about 5 more years of practice. lol

Hey Joe great series ,but i haven't been able to watch it from the beginning ,but by chance did you ever mention the thickness of the leather your using? as in how many ounces it is ? thanks in advance.

Thanks!

I have a general question. Can you show any hints or tips in covering up mistakes beginner leather crafters encounter. I know this is a wide subject but just an idea.

Thank you for the suggestion, Dante! We will pass this along to Joe.

Great

Hey chuck have ever used gold/silver foil on a project? If not have you ever thought of using foil? If so how did you use it, and what process did you use?

Hi Mark, Normally with foil you will need heat, so a heat stamp on foil works great or there are foil stamping machines that you can buy specifically for this. We don't carry a foil stamper unfortunately so I'm not super familiar with it. Sorry about that!

Do you do much free handed carving?

👍😉

Here's another topic that may be of interest to people. A safe, gentle method of cleaning dye (both water-based and oil based) off of one's hands. My gloves do not really keep the dye from penetrating and thicker gloves are clumsy. Suggestions welcome. (tried Lava soap. They put some kind of oil in it that makes me sneeze. Can't use that)

Hi Bruce, Acetone, nail polish remover, alcohol or even hand sanitizer will help to get rid of the dye residue. Hope that helps!

Could you send me stamp patterns and numbers/codes. And sorry my English is no good.

There’s too much shadow to see what you’re doing!

👏👏👏👏👏Patters no more in the link😢

Would have been nice if you has the camera close enough to actually see what you were doing.

Exlant

Why do all leather work look the same? Yeah they are different but dang it they all have this 🤔 rule system? That makes them all look the same. Doesn't matter if it's flowers or ferns or leaves they all look odd and flow a specific way that i can't wrap my brain around (noob problems)

Yet another video that the lighting SUCKS!!! Chuck has a video on lighting, PLEASE WATCH IT!!!!!!! Then do the video again.
