Just found your vids Jake & enjoying them very much. I've come to leather work later than most so look for all sorts of assistance. Yours are one of the most helpful I've found. Your video work, explanations & manner of speaking are very clear. Keep them coming please.
Thanks for the video! Could you finish this pattern with a two tone effect? e.g. dye the border and then put antique in the middle? Or would that not work for this?
@@jakeufford7356 Thanks Jake! I was thinking this would look good on a wallet exterior but wasn't sure if the two tone effect could be achieved. Thanks for clarifying. Would you use this pattern on the interior of a wallet as well? Or would you just leave the inside unfinished or use a different leather inside?
I use a different leather on the inside of my wallets that isn’t tooling leather. If you had leather thick enough to tool on the interior then the entire wallet might get to be too thick before even putting cash or cards in it. You can definitely give it a shot though to see if it works out. Just something to think about
@@jakeufford7356 what is the minimum thickness needed for tooling? I've seen natural veg tan available in 1.2mm which I assumed meant it was thick enough to tool on.. many wallets seem to use this thickness on the interior but now I'm questioning if it is thick enough to tool on..
You theoretically could tool 2oz but it wouldn’t get as much definition and it would jeopardize the integrity of the leather having Been cut with the swivel knife and tooled on. This is just my personal findings and again feel free to give it a shot. If it work that’s awesome. If you don’t like how it turns out it’s something to learn from
It’s a little misleading on the audio from the video so it doesn’t sound exactly like that in person. But having a very stable surface and a maul like the Barry king does help get a crisp sound when tooling
Great video, I noticed that you have a boss stitching machine, you should make a video on that, I m undecided either to spend on that type or a cobra class
@@baciliozamora2552 it’s a great machine. I’m actually looking at selling mine though to upgrade to the cobra. If you’re on Instagram feel free to message me @JU_leather and I can answer any of your questions about it
Thank you for the detailed explanation on tooling a basket weave pattern. This was very clear and well done!
Thank you!! Very informative and clear
Glad it was helpful

Yes you can, that is exactly how I would finish this and almost all of my projects

I use a double beveled save time and works great, no guesswork
I think having a flat side to the bevel helps get better definition for what I do but that makes sense. All personal preference
i want a mallet that sounds like that...

That is amazing. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Steep bevel or standard?
I have a steep but either will do, the main point of the bevel here is to give room for the thumbprint to come in and add detail

@@jakeufford7356 i have a cobra 4 and i cant say enough good things about it. Cobras are awesome
@@readytostartshooting I’m really wanting one! Where did you get yours from?
Glad you repeated the pattern several times; easy to think you got it, when you don't! Haha
Where do you get the ab pencils
Sorry my pronunciation wasn’t the best, I tried to say “8B” pencil and I just get them off Amazon for cheap
Its called a hair line tool
Thank you!
