Thanks to your video I bought my hairline knife tool which arrived today. Have done my first feather already which Im really happy with and have plans for lots of hairy looking critters and things in the near future.

[@bransonsgeneralstore]

I admire your talent you must have been tooling leather for year's. I have a leather knife sheath I thought I would try and tool some sort of pattern on it. Watching a few video's is not going to get it there is a lot I have to learn a defiantly get some scrap leather to practice on! Love your feather pattern I want to do a "feather with a clover"

[@bransonsgeneralstore]

Thank you! I have been tooling for over 20 years, so don't get discouraged. Practicing on scrap leather is the best way to get better.

[@snoopu2601]

@@bransonsgeneralstore thank you for replaying yes I'm going to practice on scraps leather, right now I'm carving a rubber stamp and that takes a lot of time. I guess I made my rubber stamp drew to much detail so I'm challenging myself

[@lynxlady5355]

I enjoyed the video. Definitely going to have to give that a try! Thank you for the demo.

[@bransonsgeneralstore]

Glad you enjoyed it! Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@nateand3]

That's amazing. I'm definitely going to have to learn how to do that. Just because it's cool

[@dpratte]

Wow! Just what I was looking for! Thank you Sir!

Using the undercut beveler gives the same effect as well

[@michelleparks]

Wow! Nice.

Good job and thanks for the video - I'm just learning a bit about leather work and your channel is helpful. Thanks

[@bransonsgeneralstore]

I'm glad it helped.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@scotthays294]

Your channel popped up on my feed. I have never done 3D as I just wasn't sure how to start. This was just fantastic. Can't wait to go back and see what else you've done as well as looking forward to future videos.

i just have a blade and beveler can i make something out of it ?? i mean only two tool 😅 i am not professional but i like to watch leather carving and wana give it a try

[@bransonsgeneralstore]

I have seen leather carved with just a swivel knife. They are often called "swivel knife finesse" patterns. Logos, silhouettes and knotwork patterns can often be done with just a knife and a beveler. Also you can use a lot of common things to make impressions in leather. The edge of a spoon can be used as a modeling tool. Take a file to a bolt head to make a background texture tool. Basically anything that can be pressed into the leather can make some sort of impression.

Great project!

How much do you charge to make a case for a Samsung s10 please?

[@bransonsgeneralstore]

I don't sell custom leatherwork online. I have a full-time job and enough business locally to keep me busy. Sorry.

[@jcleather8859]

Muito bom. Very nice.

Trabalho lindo!Parabéns!

To finish that would you darken under neath the feather?

[@bransonsgeneralstore]

Most often I paint the feather. Put a couple of coats of finish on it to resist stain, and then antique stain to color the background. The antique will color the cut leather under the feather darker.

[@SarfrajAnssri-yq6gq]

I'm working toling

[@billhartman150]

How would you finish this?

[@bransonsgeneralstore]

I usually paint the feather with acrylic paints, apply a coat or two of clear finish like super sheen over the painted feather as a resist. After I let the finish dry all the way, usually over night, I use an antique stain over the whole piece. Then spray finish to seal the antique. The antique makes the paints look more natural and adds darker shadows under the feather as well as staining the background.

Every part was great, but I think the fileting killed the effect.

Weak.
