Recently I just started playing with leathers, your lessons are really helpful!! Before I tried a lot, until now I realize something, thank you so much!!
Great video Bruce. It really gives you a feel for the entire process. It all comes down to practice and discovering what your tools can do or what you can do with them. Thanks for a very good tutorial.
I am so new to this that I have not bought my first kit. I like that you present your viewers the kits Tandy sells. I hope to get my first kit very soon. I will be watching other videos you put out. Thank you DF
Andy Shields Yes it is a 888 or A888 I have some fairly new ones and some very old matting tools and the texture vary's a little bit on each. To answer your question yes it is A888. Thank you Bruce
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial Mr Cheaney. It really helps to watch you work. I realize things I do wrong every time I get to see you work. My designs are too small for doing what your doing, and so cutting them in was really difficult and getting the pear shader in the design was rediculous. I'll increase the size and do some coasters this weekend. What do you seal them with? Do you use Resolene to help them be more waterproof? Again, thank you so much!! ATB Louise :)
Louise Florida Sometimes I use a light touch then sometimes I use a heavier touch when it comes to a pear shader. I use Resolene most of the time and sometimes I use Tan-Kote. Thanks Bruce
***** I absolutely will work on using both the veiner and practice more with the pear shader today. I have both Resolene and Tan-Kote so I'll test them against each other and see what works best. :) Thanks so much!! Louise :)
+golnaz s Yes you can antique the pieces or just apply a coat of olive oil or neatsfoot oil to darken the leather then apply a sealer like Fiebing's Tan-Kote or Leather Factory Block Out Resist. Bruce
+Teri Hager Teri, I think you are referring to the shader tool I used in the center of the leaves and that is a Craftool shader like number V715. Bruce
Sir i have a question: do one have to use much force with the swirvel knife ? Im learning carving and i noticed i cannot make suck deep cut as yours, the cut is shallow and thin, im using abit cheap leather though but im sure its wet properly. Is leather quality makes that big of a differrence on carving ? Or maybe the quality of the knife blade ?
+Kaboom Nguyễn Good quality Vegtan leather like Hermann Oak, ALD and the higher quality leathers from Tandy Leather cut and tool good. A lot of practice helps you develop a feel for tooling and carving leather. Plus a good sharp swivel knife blade. Bruce Cheaney #leathercraft
I don't know understand what I'm doing wrong. Are my stamps just cheap? Am I using the wrong leather?? Am I not getting the leather wet enough??? You barely tap the stamp and the impression in the leather is nice and deep and it stands out. I can beat the snot out of mine and it just doesn't make that kind of impression. Got any pointers???
James, I like and use the Maul Master Mauls II the 22 oz. and the two pound maul. I use the 22 oz. for beveling and background work and the heavier maul for pear shading or set stamping and basket stamping. Thanks for asking! Bruce
***** Thanks for the advice and keep up the great work, someday I may be as good as you but we'll see :) I will have to work really hard and lots of practice.
I have a question about your work area. Is that a large piece of fine granite, or a slab of cast concrete. If so did you make it yourself? I would like to see how your work area is set up. I like your style of tooling, what are your top 30 tools that you use?
George Huber The stamping rock is a piece of Granite I got a the local monument company it measures 18" x 22" x 4". Thanks for taking your time to watch my videos. Bruce
I very sorry I have to do my own camera work and sometimes my hands get in the way. Possibly this video will help you see my work a little better. ruclips.net/video/skk1rk9gJ24/видео.html

Hi Bruce ! Thanks for your tutorials ! can you give us all the references of the tools used in this video ?
Buenis dias En bogota donde encontramos estas herramientas gracias
Great video Bruce, just wanted to know which Craftool you used to give it the raised up effect was it, A888, in 8:13?
Andy Shields Yes it is a 888 or A888 I have some fairly new ones and some very old matting tools and the texture vary's a little bit on each. To answer your question yes it is A888. Thank you Bruce
Hi Bruce Cheaney...excellent work, very impressed...Do you have any experience with laser embossed or laser etched leather?
Jessie, That is something I have not done yet it does sound like fun though... Thanks Bruce
Excellent work!! What weight is the round maul you're using?
The light maul master II. Thanks!
Greatly appreciate it Mr. Cheaney! Thanks!

It would be more nice if your hands is not covering the process at some areas.

Hi Bruce,i want to ask you if it is possible to use a colored leather or varnished leather to use the same work ?
thank you
+golnaz s Yes you can antique the pieces or just apply a coat of olive oil or neatsfoot oil to darken the leather then apply a sealer like Fiebing's Tan-Kote or Leather Factory Block Out Resist. Bruce
Thank you so much.
okay I have a question what tool do you use to make the texture on the loops like the slanted lines you didn't show that in the video
+Teri Hager Teri, I think you are referring to the shader tool I used in the center of the leaves and that is a Craftool shader like number V715. Bruce
Do you sell any of your leather crafts?
Great work, just wish I could have seen your knife work. Try putting the camera on the other side.
Nice tutorial - I just wish your hand was transparent, so I could see you actually making the impressions and cuts.
You are awesome! Relaxing to watch, i do leathering also :)

This video should help you ruclips.net/video/34VnKgrmFHE/видео.html
i've tried to slide the stamp like your doing and i can't do it, any tips for me
+Eva G It takes a lot of practice to develop a style that works for you once you get it, it will be easy.
Bruce, great work as always. Hey, what weight maul do you use? I know they come in different weights.
James, I like and use the Maul Master Mauls II the 22 oz. and the two pound maul. I use the 22 oz. for beveling and background work and the heavier maul for pear shading or set stamping and basket stamping. Thanks for asking! Bruce

Is there any special stamping I could use to stamp on a piece of vinyl?
+str8tfaded Not that I know of...
+Bruce Cheaney OK. Thank you for your response

It's a costly piece of granite.

Your hand is in the way
I very sorry I have to do my own camera work and sometimes my hands get in the way. Possibly this video will help you see my work a little better. ruclips.net/video/skk1rk9gJ24/видео.html
@@cheaneysaddles I have checked your other videos and they are fabulous, I have learned so much, thank you
Demonstrating craft needs to be close enough so anyone can actually see what you are doing. Useless !
Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to do better in the future.
