Tablet shots are a nice visual
I think this format is helpful and really shows exactly what you are talking about. It also is refreshing to watch something other than flowers and vines being tooled in a tutorial.
I think it would be fun to see a bunch of people tool the same image (not necessarily this image) as a contest or something and demonstrate the value of different levels of experience, styles and techniques using the same image. Then after showcase some of the images and talk about how they helped/hurt the end result. Just a thought.
Great video i definitely learned some things.
Thats a really interesting idea. I'll make sure "the powers that be" see it. Thanks!
I was just coming here to say the same thing about this format of video, but you said better than I could have.
Daniel you’re on the right track! Anyone out there wanting learn “tooling” my advise is to listen closely to Daniel!
I really appreciate the use of the tablet to highlight what you are doing, and what direction you're doing it in. It makes it much easier to follow and for a beginner like myself I find it easier to picture what my bevels are going to look like without potentially ruining my project!
In this day and age of the computer age, It actually makes this more comprehensive and understandable how to do things when you incorporate the tablet...
Yes! I love seeing the iPad. It helps to understand before watching on the leather! I also really appreciate you explaining the entire process and then breaking down the rest in the next video. It helps to bring it all together from the get go! Thank you!
This is a really good format, it gives a clear picture of what your goal is with each step. Thanks!
Being a retired IT guy (senior geek), that is just getting into leather craft, I find the incorporation of the pad a great idea! get into the details ! Great job !!
Definitely like the tablet illustrating how the lines are beveled
Awesome! I understand this better now. Been wondering about the "What side of the line" question for a while.
My husband and I both enjoyed the way you explained this. Would like to see more of this example.
EXCELLENT video on demonstrating which side of the line to bevel. I had never heard of switching sides and the tablet was particularly helpful in understanding the concept. The use of the tablet was helpful throughout the video as a teaching tool in showing in detail what you were going to do and why, before you actually did it.
Excellent video the best I have seen for how to read a pattern. The tablet was a huge advantage to see what was needed to bevel!!!
Thank you!
Yes to painting! As someone who is self taught, and struggle busses with engraving. All the things your teaching are so helpful.
Absolutely thrilled to hear that!
Daniel, I think this way is perfect for not only the newcomer but also the intermediate leather crafters that are now perusing tooling for the first time. I’m one of the later ones that felt it was time to get into tooling. The problem, is that there are very few places out there that take tooling one step at a time teaching as you go. Putting out a tooling pattern that we can download is a great way to do it. That way we’re all on the same page together. Hopefully when we’re all done, our pattern will look as good as yours or close to it!
Best regards, Richard
Thank you for this. The use of the tablet was very helpful for me as I am a visual learner.
The tablet was very helpful and yes a painting video would be awesome👌. This was actually very helpful
The tablet is a great idea. Especially with something like this, where it may not be as obvious. I would've totally messed up with the nose to mustache transition. Beveling on opposite sides of the same line isn't what everyone teaches, and when I get going it's like I've got tunnel vision, not noticing such subtle changes. It makes it much easier to plan the next move on a pattern that is new. I wish I'd have thought of doing this when I first got into tooling.
I really like this format. Stay with it!
Good format. It explain what you are doing and why (for those of us who have not done this before)
What you are doing is a great help for new crafters I learned from books by Al Stohlman. back in the 1970s. Keep it up.
Thumbs up for the use of the tablet as it really helps me, a total newbie, to understand the where and the why of bevelling where you do. Great videos btw. Tyvm
Much easyer to understand with the tablet. Love this way to learn. Thanks!
you asked for comments on the format. I like it. I, being a somewhat experienced leatherworker, and a pencil, paint, woodburning artist, not to mention a little cocky, I figured there wouldn't be anything "new" on the subject. HOWEVER, I was refreshed on the fact that...just because it's a single line on "paper" (or pad), doesn't mean you always follow the line the entire length. in short, where you switched from one side to the other , of his mustache, leant a different depth than following the entire length of the mustache line, on the same side. Thanks
Love hearing this!
Personally, I know it can be easy to slip into the "I've seen it all before"...soo easy to do. Glad that you found a little gold nugget in there!
Daniel the tablet worked great for helping me see what you were talking about with the shading, great idea!! Plus me and my mom were just experimenting with these other techniques earlier, and you explained it way better than I could. Thank you!!
So glad it helped! 😁
On other channels, I would say the tablet and amount of detail would be a little overkill. Here it works. I come here for this kind of detail and level of information.
This is great,putting the lines on the diagram is helpful, even to more skilled toolers.
I REALLY like the use of the design on the tablet, then showing what you will do with the tools. Could you zoom in a little closer to the tool when working? YES! Let's see this painted.
This is exactly what I was hoping for. Keep these videos coming
You are a gifted teacher. This format is super easy to follow. Keep it coming and a coloring video would be great!
Thank you my friend! I love doing it.
Tanks Daniel, this was very helpfully for my to start with shadow making , I like it a lot 👍
Greetings from Brazil.
Using the tablet was very helpful for me, thanks...
Love the tablet shots. It's a huge help.
Watching the project gradually come to life is fascinating. Especially for an absolutely talent free person in figure carving like me. 🤭
I really enjoyed this video, lots of good information. Makes me want to take a giant leap. Thank you for making the video.
Great format makes it easier to understand
Good job, excellent tutorial, well detailed and didactic. The tablet is a very good complement.
It would be nice as a detail to see an image of the tip of the bevel.
Thank you! I agree...I'm doing my best to get you a great view of the bevel while still keeping it in focus. I'll try to get it closer in the future. 🙂
I just learned several things about carving. Thank you very much. And yes I think the tablet is worth keeping unless the feed back is overwhelmingly negative.
The Tablet helped to provide a great visual! Maybe color coding the lines with a key in the description might help a little bit, but this video was very informative and helpful!
This is a very good video. I really enjoy how clearly you explain your thought processes... ... It's very educational.
yes please paint this project, i think it will look great
Need more like this
The use of the tablet is fine. Nice balance between 'preparing for the tooling' then the tooling. I just wish there were a couple of really tight shots in real time to show the effect of the tool on the cut line. I have a huge monitor but I am probably missing how you angle the tool and how you overlap the taps.
I totally get what your saying. One of the challenges I run into is getting tight shots that are still in focus. Just know that I'm trying to get you the best shot possible while still maintaining good video quality.
Really enjoyed this one Daniel. Thank you
hi, thank for the videos. Great new format, very instrucives. great use of the tablet
New format is very helpful.
Yes ,I would like to see the painting of this project!
Here you go! czcams.com/video/gWasHmk_4Yo/video.html
Tablet is a great idea love it makes it alottt easier to understand tooling
This is so helpful. I like the tablet then demo. Thank you so very much!
Great visual aid
Well as i beginner im liking this format as you call it ,as a viewer, watching theses tutorials ,its vary hard for us to see that kind of detail,As i get the reasoning for doing the beveling or shading the outline of a pitcher on the outside ,to make the pic stand out ,but its when you get the lines that run inside the pic ,like 2 lines that run up and down or beside each other as in vine work.hope that came out right lol
I totally get that! So two things. I'm doing my best to get you the closest shot I can while still having it in focus. Working on getting closer.
And...I think we're going to do a floral design version of this video... We've gotten a few comments like yours, so I think it makes sense.
Thank you for the video!!! And yes to painting as well!! Maybe with different kinds of paint to be able to notice the difference…?! Would be very helpful for the beginners who want to decide which kind to use..
YES for the tablet comments!! ❤
What's on top.
Best tip I have heard yet! Thanks!
Love the tablet use, would like to see you color the project also
Working on that video as we speak. 👍
This is great.
Absolutely it definitely helps me understand the whys..
Thank You
This helps alot thanks
I like the tablet shots. Thank you for these Daniel. I'm getting more confident to start carving. I've been leatherworking for a while but never carved only stamped. Weaver has a new tool for hair, does it work for human hair like this? These videos are very helpful and I appreciate you for doing them and taking your time.
You're very welcome! I absolutely love teaching leather work. It so rewarding when you hear how it's helping others.
The short answer is yes.. the hair blade is great for this and were going to get pretty deep into that in the next video.
great video. very helpful for a beginner like myself. the ipad was a good help as well. i feel a little better giving tooling a try now, it doesnt seem as intimidating. thank you
I like because I just started out doing leather work
Love it
I am very new to the craft, for me it would have been helpful to see up close what tool you were using. The links provided don't show the tool, sometimes it only shows the impression the tool makes. I love your grumpy guy :)
love the new format, from a newbie with this craft it answered questions I would otherwise would have had. I do have one question though, how did you get the pattern to the leather?
Very nice teaching experience I'm new my problem is which way to hold the beaver is it flat side toward you or away
I'm not sure which side you're considering the flat side, but if you think of it like a hill...(up hill / down hill) the highest part of the hill should be closest to you, and the bottom of the hill is the part that creates the bevel.
Maybe a better analogy would be that it should look like it's standing on its tip toes. Does that help?
I like
In response to your question: yes please, Absolutely KEEP the tablet view♡
For me, floral tooling has been way harder than figure carving. Still trying to figure it out
Where can we get the grumpy gnome line drawing? I want to carve this so much, especially after such a great video!
I believe they will be releasing the free pattern this week or next week.
He was definitely fun to carve. 🙂
I like the tablet.
please show close up shot of each tool you use 😮
Well for tooling id say its a good format to do the reference and the actual work. Id also say that this is definitely not something for all projects though.
I like it with the tablet
Is there any time you would consider using a figure carving beveler? Maybe around the stick and the outside of the guy and other areas.
Yes! Absolutely! I typically use my figure carving bevels in areas I want to blend. Lots of ways to use them, but that the most common ways I use them.
Where did you get the patten for this from? Love the format thank you
I created it based a popular style of gnomes that's out there. Weaver is going to be releasing shortly for free.
@@DanielReachCreations be good to have pattern available when video released so we can follow along thanks
Thank you for this tutorial as I sent picture of my own version
is there specific size bevel tools that are best for all around use?
I do artwork in all medias, but I have never seen anyone use the drawing glove for tooling leather. I have several of them. Do they help when tooling? Just curious. I am ready to start tooling and I will use glove if you think there is a benefit to it. The video is great. Tooling is very much the same as wood burning as I can see in this video. That should help me as I start as I have done tons of wood burning since I was a kid. (I'm old now. Teehee) Thanks for sharing. Stay well.
Hi Kathy,
The glove was only for the tablet. When I'm tooling leather, I don't use it. 🙂
@@DanielReachCreations Oh. That's what I use it for on my Wacom tablet. Hey, when you do art stuff these days, anything goes. It's not the old days when everything had its own purpose and don't go outside of those lines. That's how I grew up and my dad always laughed at me when I did things differently. 1960's. Hey, it worked for me. Thanks for the quick answer.
Tablet was good tool
What’s the difference between a standard bevel punch and a steep angle bevel punch. What was the part numbers of both bevellers that you used
A traditional bevel is almost flat, where a steep bevel is about a 45 degree angle. An extra steep is almost vertical.
There's a link for all the tools in the description. 🙂
More of the detail, please! You wrapped the tool in burlap? I get the swivel cuts and spoon marks in the beard/mustache, don't you care for the hair tools, or just a preference? Coloring - paints, or dyes, or both? But show it in blow-up detail, some of us only have phones, not full-size monitors ...(holding hand up in the peanut gallery!) SHOW ALL THE TECHNIQUE, AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE. Thanks for your help!
All great questions. Let me take them one at at time.
More detail: One of the challenges is to get all the detail in and still have a video length that is appealing to most people. The solution is to do a mix of "project" focused videos and "tips and tricks" related to tooling. That will allow us to have a library of all the info and avoid the hour long videos. Things like the "burlap" will definitely be a "tips and tricks" video. In fact...I think its coming up in the near future.
Swivel cuts/spoon vs hair blade: Yes! The hair blade is a great option. The video coming out next Monday goes into great detail on how to develop hair texture and how to best use the hair blade. This was just a sneak peek at how to do it.
Color: Thats one of the upcoming videos as well. I know how important that info is as someone who wants to learn. So, I'm doing my best to get it to you in time blocks that are easy to digest.
All great questions...totally agree. It's coming.
Hello, thanks for the video. Would you tell me the name of this striking tool, i.e. the number of it? Thanks very much
I'd be happy to. Which one were you referring to?
Can you do it without hammering?
Just pressing?
Technically, yes. But it's going to take a lot longer and won't have as much depth. But yes, there's a lot you can do with just a modeling spoon
Tablet is nice, just TOTALLY confused about why you chose which side of the line....🤔
Use of red or purple was good to be inside or outside was good but I still got lost.
That looks like a big - time consuming project. How long does the casing usually hold up? Do you have to re-case the leather after some time?
You may have to re-wet the leather a little bit if it dries out as you are carving and stamping. But, you don't have to redo the tooling and stamping, that will stay as long as the item itself.
I like the tablet better
yes to the tablet use! but next time, can you do a floral piece?? lol
and who says an hour long video wont work? I much prefer longer, more detailed explanation type videos over short ones with less info.
@Weaver Leather Supply - Ya'll need to get out of this "shorter is better" mindset. Anyone that is truly interested in this craft more than likely has a longer attention span than a gnat. If a video is less than 10 minutes, i typically dont bother watching them. I want REAL info!
Like this format but sorry the video is a year old as I watch it.
