Off topic but, I found an art form called Zentangle. Looks like it could be fun. You probably already know about this. Just thought I would pass it on. Plenty on UA-cam.
I don't think it's very common, but its definitely a great technique. I compare it to building a house. A carpenter could probably frame a house with just a hammer and hand saw, but there are more advanced tools that make it easier. A hammer isn't as efficient as a nail gun....but a nail gun isn't right for every situation. Thats exactly the situation we have with a traditional blade vs the D.W. blade.
I know I'm late to the party, but would you please explain the process you used to dial in the shape of the cuff so that it fit around your horn perfectly? Thanks a lot!
Fantastic vid and tutorial, once again. Keep up the excellent work On another note, I have the Duane Watts yokeless swivel and it is definitely a game changer on tight curves. Now if I can just remember to not use the same force on tje tiny bevelers lol
On petals with small scallops I will use the yokeless. For lettering I use the yoke style. I use a thin blade on both. On the yoke style I cut off the top half of the yoke and find it to be more comfortable for me. One thing I learned the hard way was the small set screws don’t take much pressure to do the job. First time I tried to change a blade I really put the tight to it. So much the bottom of the screw separated from the threaded part. Kept turning and turning, wouldn’t tighten. So, snug it and stop. Don’t Arnold it like I did.
@@larrycumba2741 Yeah, here in Tx, the Faire starts in March (Sherwood near Austin), then Scarborough (April 8th), then in the fall TRF kicks off in October. So Ren Faire Season is just starting.
Your a good leathersmith with much to share but your use WAY too many words to get the info to the watcher. Endless talking is very hard to watch and the vid is way too long. Don't feel bad. This is the fault of many instructor of this craft. Word words words. It's painful. Sorry!
I appreciate the feedback. I mean this in the nicest possible way. This style of video is not accidental, but I understand it might not be the kind you enjoy watching. That's okay... different strokes for different folks. I won't take it personally if you decide not to watch anymore, but I hope you will. Best of luck with your projects.
Another fantastic show Daniel thank you so much for this all the best from Scotland
Very Good friends 👍 ❤
I cheat and use wide copper tape used for guitar shielding. You're leather work is really awesome! 👍

I've seen that! It's definitely something I'd be interested in trying.
I thought I was the only one who switched back and forth between Barry King and Duane Watts SK mid protect

Yeah, they make a huge difference. It's my go-to when doing script lettering.

Trying to find the extra steep beveler. If you can help me source it I would appreciate it very much. Is the Renaissance Fair still active?
Have you checked Barry's website? I just looked and they're listed, although I didn't go through the process of trying to buy one.
@@TheLeatherverse Turns out I have a set and didn’t realize it. Duh on me. What about the Fair this year? Thank you for your quick response.
