I'm a newbe and I appreciate your teaching. especially where you actually show the tool you are using. Would appreciate a really good close up of the tool as well. I can't seem to get the right pressure, but that comes with time I guess
Man i loved the way you explained in every small details with calmly n clearly, hope each n everybody who are really wants to learn leather craft. Those all will likes your way. Here once again Thankyou very much
I would recommend letting your pattern dry after beveling. This will give you a lot of information on how you did and how you can improve. When the leather is wet it can be frustrating when you critique it. You can always go back and clean up the parts you don’t like.
Thank you for this video - I love when the instructor is explaining the techniques - it is more helpful than watching the technique, I find! Please do some more!
I was looking at some of the comments related to how long this video was. This isn’t for experienced carvers, and hearing your tips and teaching while you bevel is worth a lot. So don’t change a thing. Thanks, Joe!
What,steep beveled do you recommend? I'm a beginner, love the look. If you were ordering from Tandy leather,,,which would you choose for a steep beveler? Thank you in advance! P.s. your work is awesome,I'm learning so much. I may have customers of my own. Please give advice.
Hi Curtis, These are the steep bevels Joe recommends: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/67-6976/steep-bevel-stamping-tool-/pr_40222 Or the Barry King Steep Bevel
Hello Joe Very good video, but, I have some issues, NOT with you, but with me, I had a stroke in 2013 and I lost some of the dexterity in my left hand, fingers, side, and arm. This makes it very difficult to get smooth movements with my tools, especially my bevelers. The other issue I have is "Brain Scramble" from my stroke. Some times I see things one way then a minute later I see them differently? This causes me problem trying to bevel because I can never figure out which side of my knife cuts I should be beveling on or in which direction? One time I'm on one side then when I get to the end of the cut, for some reason I'll start beveling on the wrong side from there. Is there a good reliable way to tell which side I should be beveling on and to which direction ( away from, OR toward)? I find myself beveling AWAY from a leaf one minute, then TOWARD it the next. That really hurts my look when I'm doing something thin like a feather quill or a leaf vein. Before I know it I'm running both bevels into each other. Is there a prescribed method for determining which direction to bevel from? Thank you. God bless: Stoney
@@maddawgnoll Kevin: Thank you. I appreciate your advice and I can appreciate the situation you're in. My memory is pretty good yet, but it's the mobility/dexterity issues that concern and annoy me. I own a small hobby business called The Mountain Man Emporium. I make 18th, and 19th. century knives and Black Powder shooting accessories. Even with my stroke, my products are still very good, it just takes me forever to do anything and I get so frustrated that I want to scream!! I thank you for your kind reply and advice, and I'll keep you and your grandma in my prayers from now on. Thanks again. God bless: Dave
Hello Stoney, Our minds can be easily deceived when looking at lines on a floral pattern. One thing you may try is identifying the background spaces first. That will help you see the actual vinework that needs to be beveled around. Remember that your bevel work is simply layering the pieces of a pattern to create the overall picture. Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos! -Joe Meling
@@WeaverLeatherSupply Hi Joe. Thank you for your reply. This is pretty much the same advice that I got from another viewer? I've tried everything, and generally get the same results. I've had a few different leather workers here on UA-cam try to help. I thank them ALL for taking their time to try. I have my days.lol I just always seem to end up beveling on the wrong side of a line? I'm not really a floral guy, I'm more of the woodsy type. I like acorns; Oak leaves, and feathers, the "rustic" stuff. My logo is Two Feathers in a head band fan. In the living History village that I was associated with in the 70's; my camp name was Two Feathers. Thank you for your time; I know you're very busy. I'll get it eventually. :~))))) Beautiful work. God bless: Stoney
Hi Sariah, The leather used in this video is 4 to 5 oz. You can use any weight leather to carve as long as it is natural veg tan. If you use lighter than a 4 to 5 oz. just be careful to not go too deep with the swivel so you don't cut right through the leather. Hope this helps!
@@WeaverLeatherSupply Excellent tutorial! I'm searching for instruction on the tools and method for working in very small areas - the center of a rose where petals are very small and very close together- I cant tell if it's me or the tools I'm using - how do I keep space between the cut lines for shading between the very small petals in the center. Everything just gets mashed together and all detail is lost. I think my swivel cutter blade itself might be to large for small details. I'll search your channel for more tutorials - any recommendations are welcome. Glad I found your channel. Thank you for sharing your skill with all of us!

I always find Weaver videos interesting but I would suggest not having the camera attached to your body. A separate camera man can zoom into your project as you point out your technique. Thank you
Joe is my favorite teacher. Nice demeanor and attention to detail.

Joe, really great video. You’re a great teacher. Now I understand some things that will make my learning easier! Thank you.
Good video.
I'm quite sure his lid is on backwards in the intro.
Nice video, thanks for the Information!
I love it he’s very nice person
Perhaps a better camera & lighting you could show closeups so we can see what the tool is doing.
Thank you for teaching us beginners
No me queda nada , conoce la marca SOZO? son buenos biseles también,y aquí en España es difícil encontrar Barry King 😢😢
That looks very interesting. I'm going to burn up some scrap learning to do this well. Hahaha

@@Stoney327 use a highlighter on your paper pattern that way you can look and see if you like the way it looks and use it as a guide.
Joe also have a video on which side to bevel. Very helpful. That video is from 2 years ago.
Can I have the actual number of the stamp please? I'm in Australia and am searching for this steep bevel.
well i looked everywhere and that beveler is now obsolet and cant be found. even weaver dont carry them anymore.
If I may ask, what weight is your mallet?
Hi Lloyd,
This is the 16 oz.
I like to use a 12 ounce maul. May seem too light but it is more than enough weight for this. Amazon sells them for about $15.00.
What weight is this leather? Also what weights can be carved like this?
Hi Sariah,
The leather used in this video is 4 to 5 oz. You can use any weight leather to carve as long as it is natural veg tan. If you use lighter than a 4 to 5 oz. just be careful to not go too deep with the swivel so you don't cut right through the leather. Hope this helps!

The link to the pattern does not appear to be working.
Where can I buy a beveller like that? Not seeing it on the Weaver Leathercraft site!
Hi Hannah,
The one used in the video is the steep bevel:
Small: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/67-6976/steep-bevel-stamping-tool-/pr_40222
Large: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/67-6977/steep-bevel-stamping-tool-/pr_40223
What leather is being used?
I’m having trouble with this.
Chuck did a clip on lighting, you should watch it and do the video again. The shadows were annoying enough I didn't watch much of this .
I always find Weaver videos interesting but I would suggest not having the camera attached to your body. A separate camera man can zoom into your project as you point out your technique. Thank you
Thank you for the suggestion, Melissa!
