Been a leather worker for years, and this is my absolute favourite step in carving. It’s really satisfying watching the piece come to life. Great video

I love the realism your technique creates! Wonderful demonstration! Thank you.

OLD Leather Smith here, very nice even beginners should be able 2 follow. I prefer the petal lifters myself I have used the dear foot before but with the petal lifters you can get a deeper lift and a more pronounced shape throughout. Just things I have done now and in the past. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

Wonderful. Very Informative. Your Verbal and Visual Instructions are very helpful. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.

Absolutely fantastic

Awesome. New skill to practice.

Thanks so much for sharing!!! Happy I found it. Beautiful work!!!

awesome! opened up so many new ideas for me with this!

Thanks for showing the video

Wow ... very impressive!!! Thanks for sharing your technique.

Your amazing!!!

I’ve done all the techniques you showed, but needed a refresher and I loved the little veining at the end. Thank you!

I think it looks amazing, thank you for sharing!

This was perfect for what I was looking for. Great job of pointing out all the little finesse points that so many others skip. Subscribed and can't wait to see more from you!

well done. thanks. chuck

A lot of information, answered some questions I had in mind. Thanks.

you have convinced me that the lifter tool could easily be replaced by the deerfoot without loss of lift. Thank you for this; it is an impressive addition to the leather carving!!

Not only replace it, but take it much much further than you could with just a lifter.

Amazing, I am just now learning the leather part of upholstery. Advanced Custom Upholstery was my shop before Augusta Maine shut me down. They decided that I have to register as an auto repair shop. I do boat tops and interiors plus vehicles and other recreational seats. I am extremely excited that I found your channel since I have to find a different direction to make money from home due to health issues. Can't wait to do this technique on all my leather projects I have been planning. Thanks for saving my business potentially by sharing this! Keep up the awesome work I'll definitely be watching and learning!

Thanks a lot for this .something to look forward to trying. Just starting without much luck but trying

Haven't been doing it for awhile. Just got back in, and realized my lifters were gone as soon as I saw your video. I keep sharp and dull. Dull ones for refining the stamps. Makes a world of difference. I was wondering why my work wasn't as good as it was. I need to go buy new lifters today. Thank you.

Okay, you are just plain cool my Southern friend! This Canadian gal needed to see this. Amazing work. Good explanations and tips and I'm so glad you said 1) the ridges dig into your fingers (my tiny fingers and wrists get nerve jumps), and 2) that human beings aren't very good at doing random. I always thought that was just my linear brain! Hugs to you. I will check out your channel again. :)

My word! You could call this “Extreme Leather Carving”! I carved and tooled for about 20 years - belts and such for a living, and more artistic pieces for family and friends. I have created some nice pieces with sharp effects, but this is cut to another level! Very impressive video. Thank you.

@The Leatherverse have you considered sanding the ridges off your deer foot tool then wave a flame across it to smooth the rubber? It worked well for me. I also sanded a curved recess on the top, close to the end of the rubber grip. This provided better purchase for my index finger and better control.

This is beautiful. What would someone do with this? Frame it? I would imagine that you couldn’t do this on something like a belt because it would tear the leather somewhat. I’m just amazed at what can be done with leather so maybe I’m wrong? I’m just starting out and I love the look of carvings. This is my favorite so far.

@TheLeatherverse

Жыл бұрын

Wow, thank you! You can do a lesser version of this on a belt. One of the big factors is being the size of the image. It's much harder to do it on a leaf half that size. When is done right, it shouldn't weaken the leather.

Can't wait to get started on this one. I still need to finish snoopy. Needed s narrower beveler. How thick is this leather piece? To be honest, when I first saw this the other week, I thought it would be a leaf glued down on a separate piece of leather.

@TheLeatherverse

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that steep edge beveler makes the more refined tooling possible. Pretty close to a must have. The leather thickness is in the 5-6oz range.

Hello first off I’d like to say excellent carving skills. The tool that you made what was it originally? I’d like to make one because well custom Barry King tools are a bit out of reach. I like the expensive tools but will have to sell some items in order to purchase the high end tools. Great work and thanks for any help.

Thank you! I believe you're referring to the black handled tool. It's a deer foot modeling tool. I just rounded the heel off.

How much does this compromise the strength of the leather if I'm using the tooled piece on a shoe or other use that needs strength for longevity? Thanks!

So why use the lifter at all when you go back with the deer foot? It seems like extra work. Is it the shading that the lifter causes?

@TheLeatherverse

2 жыл бұрын

The lifter is faster than the deer foot, but the deer foot has the option of "pushing" or "rolling" the edge, which gives you more depth. It's perfectly fine to just use one or the other, but I like using both because of the reasons above.

Can this be done on a fabric instead of leather
