This video walks through techniques that will lead to smooth bevel lines as well as showing a simple way to determine what side of the line to bevel on.

This little tidbit of information is going to be very helpful when I finish my renaissance costume bracers. The design I cut into them has several open areas and I was never sure which direction to bevel. Thanks Joe, you're a lifesaver! 👍
I learn something new every time i watch one of your videos THANK YOU !!
What bevelars do you usually use and where do you get them
Thank You Joe, that’s very helpful!!!
Could you do a tutorial in inverted beveling?
umm beveling the outside of the line ..is the the general rule of thumb for any design ? like flowerel or an object like say a motorcycle pattern , as I just did one and i did it the beveling on the inside of the lines , as i felt at the time it gave the bike parts i rounded look . so do you alter your way of thinking pending on what pattern your doing ?
When you get into objects and figure carving like a motorcycle, you’re getting into a little different style. Personally I would still bevel the outside of the main object to stand it out but as far as some of the interior lines I think those could be up for interpretation. Personally, I’m not much of a figure carver so I can’t give you much advice past that. I’d encourage you to reach out to someone much better than I am with figure carving. Jim Linnell with Elk Track Studios might be a good place to start.
@@joemeling3216 thanks well do ..
@Honda200TwinStar can't go wrong with Jim's advice. Sounds like you're asking about inverted carving, which is where you get a more rounded look. Figure carving can get confusing. Sometimes, you're doing the opposite of what feels right. Wish I could show an example of what I'm thinking.
So I noticed you use a big malet I have the 16 is it good to have a 24 just wondering if I need a little more weight for certain jobs
I think this comes down to what you're comfortable with. I have a 12 oz plastic mallet that I use for most of my tooling, (less fatigue) but I also use a 24 for some heavier leathers where I can get really deep tooling, or stamping in basket weave patterns (as example). Then, some days, I just use my 24 for everything and visa versa with my 12.
I feel you can achieve the same results regardless of weight. It's just a matter of control.
@@maddawgnoll ok sounds good thanks 👍
What weight maul do you recommend?
This beginner maul is 16oz. My Barry King maul I like to use is a 20oz.
@@joemeling3216 tapered or straight?
@@markfellini3264 I use a straight one but it’s personal preference. I just changed the angle you need to hold it.
@@joemeling3216 thank you!
