Very useful and insightful tips. Thanks.
Great tips. I’ll have to use you tips on my next project. Thank you.
Best regards, Richard
Just got my new barry kings swivel knife today and i love it thanks for letting me know which one u used !!!
Thanks Joe. Always so helpful
You’re welcome!
thank you sir
What size Barryking beveler would you recommend
What size swivel blade are you using? My swivel blade is a lot bigger than the one you use and I have a terrible time using mine. What are there different size blades? Thank you. Best regards, Richard…
Joe: A little off topic. I see most carving/stamping/sculpting leather of flower patterns. How come I never see birds or rarely see nature or people's faces in this type of work? Just wondering. I would love to try stamping a small bird in leather but I need to see a starting point. Any suggestions?
what is the thikness of blade
Where do you get your leather and tools?
I’m new to leathercraft so excuse my questions. Do you case the leather before cutting with swivel knife? I know to do it before using stamps. Also do you wet the leather before using stitch groover?
Yes, you indeed "case" or simply wet the surface of the leather by dipping it water or using a spray bottle, personally I prefer the latter because I have more control over the moisture content. Also you would not want to case or wet the leather before using the stitching groover. You want it fully dry when using that specific tool.
Also "casing" leather implies soaking under water until the bubbles stop, and then place it in a bag overnight(or refrigerator if for longer periods) some people swear by this technique however ive not seen a noticeable difference especially once you antique and apply a top coat.
Hope this answers your question! Have fun leathercrafting!
One more thing to add, if using the swivel knife I prefer my leather a lil more damp than when I'm stamping. Not over soaked to where its mushy but deeply moistened. And then for beveling slightly less damp, almost to dry looking. And finally for using a seeder or bar grounder I prefer my leather pretty much back to dry looking. This is my routine and I'm sure most would agree with this sentiment.
Have fun! And remember, practice makes perfect!
@@Handles-R-Lame yes thank you
How much pressure are you applying when your doing this ? Thank you !!
Pressure will depend on how sharp your knife is, quality of the leather, and moisture content.
I wish I could come learn from you for awhile.. it’s hard to teach yourself this stuff on your own ..I bought some stamps and stamped clean threw my veg tan leather .. 3-4 oz lightly wetted .. and I spend a shit load on Barry king stuff sadly disappointed in what I received so I sent it back
@@kingsolomon8946 this is hard to learn on your own. I’m sorry to hear you were disappointed with your Barry king tools. Most of the good tools I use are his.
For reference on leather weights, (it will depend on the project but…) I tool on 8/9 oz for belts and then line them with 3/4. 3/4 is pretty hard to tool on. Not sure where you’re located but it would be great to have you in the shop sometime!
@@joemeling3216 I live in Ely Nevada … thanks for your reply sir !!
Is it just the camera angle or are you angling the blade during curves? I’ve never had beautifully deep swivel cuts. Maybe it’s not cased enough due to my impatience…I do give it a few minutes after taking a wet sponge over it though
My knife will tip slightly in a curve but it’s important to not tip it too far or you will create an undercut.
You need to also how to properly deep case the leather right to begin with. I wet the leather the day before, put it in a plastic bag, refrigerate it over night, and the work on it the next day.
Whoa...... I see you ignore the old rule of thumb of cutting the foremost items first, ie. the flowers and the larger leaves? Why?
