LOVE this design, could you make a video about the design making progress? like maybe the dos and donts of illustrating a design for leatherworking maybe?

[@daverooni7763]

For folks who live in apartments or where noise is a problem, this technique is awesome

[@JohnTBlock]

Some light green around the iris of the eyes, would make him Supernatural!

I've used the spoon to do this before and to smooth out my bevel tooling when I wasn't as good in a particular area.

[@candice2768]

So beautiful!!

I find the Ceramic blades really very good. They still need stropping / polishing but a lot less often. My go to is the filigree blade as I can get varied widths and depths of cut, also its shape makes it easier to see what you’re working on.

[@theartsypixie2771]

How do ceramic blades handle stopping and sharpening? Just curious never used anytime of ceramic blade.

[@allan339]

@@theartsypixie2771 You can't sharpen a ceramic blade without specialist equipment. Stropping will remove the "gunk" that builds up on the blade from using, just like a metal blade.

Cool practice challenge! Thanks!

[@erikschannel]

That was amazing challenge accepted I will attempt it this weekend

[@ianthomas3653]

Might have to try this if i get some time.

[@markedis5902]

It’s also interesting to try a standard blade in the hair blades handle

[@maddawgnoll]

Finally. Something I've been looking for. A swivel knife only challenge. Gonna have to get this printed out so I can give it a go

[@davidmcguinness9187]

Thanks for the video

[@theartsypixie2771]

Uhh can i get a begginer challenge first like uhh a clover or heart. 😂

[@DanielReachCreations]

😆I'll see what I can do.

[@pamelawerdmullervonelgg1888]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Thanks sooo much ❤️🤠👍

[@EquippedSurvival]

This is awesome. I've been doing leatherwork for a few years now and am starting to think about getting into carving. This gives some great information. Any other videos you would recommend for getting started with carving for the first time?

[@DanielReachCreations]

I've got several swivel knife videos on this channel. Just search Weaver and swivel knife and they should pop up!

[@1a1u0g9t4s2u]

Wow, what a nice project. Thanks for the pattern and for sharing.

[@Hotsoe]

Wonderfull…

[@philliphill4763]

Outstanding demonstration & teaching techniques!

[@barryjohansen9936]

I’m going to try this one. Two questions - what method do you prefer to transfer the pattern to the leather and what if I want to reduce the size to fit say a wallet? I can’t just print smaller as it would become too crowded.

[@kboleather]

Looks like the download isn't a download. 👍

[@richardkatzman1215]

What color antique did you use? Black?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Medium Brown on the antique, thanks!
