Leather Tooling - Extreme Lifting -

[@desmondehoppie4758]

Wonderful. Very Informative. Your Verbal and Visual Instructions are very helpful. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.

[@mistymidnight4447]

Been a leather worker for years, and this is my absolute favourite step in carving. It’s really satisfying watching the piece come to life. Great video

[@james2592OldLeatherSmith]

OLD Leather Smith here, very nice even beginners should be able 2 follow. I prefer the petal lifters myself I have used the dear foot before but with the petal lifters you can get a deeper lift and a more pronounced shape throughout. Just things I have done now and in the past. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@lynxlady5355]

I love the realism your technique creates! Wonderful demonstration! Thank you.

[@TheLeatherverse]

Thank you!

[@kolankprof]

Wow ... very impressive!!! Thanks for sharing your technique.

[@1guncrazy1]

I've been looking for a video on how to use a Lifter properly for a while and this is the best I've found.

[@TheLeatherverse]

Thank you! I'm getting ready to do another one.... one that's got better volume.

[@theArtOFjon]

​@TheLeatherverse what was the newer lifting video with more volume? Thanks.

[@austinvarbel3359]

What a small world. I just met you in the store yesterday and didn’t even realize that you were the author of this video until I checked out your channel. I had just watched it the night before and the whole reason I went to Tandy’s was for a lifter. Please keep the content coming!!! The among of detail you provide is perfect for the detail oriented beginner.

[@TheLeatherverse]

That's so crazy. I heard you asking for lifters, but I didn't think anything of it. Thank you for the feedback. I always wonder if I'm giving enough info... too much... more personality... less personality? So hard to know what to do. Love getting the feedback, but positive and negative.

[@btodoroff]

This was perfect for what I was looking for. Great job of pointing out all the little finesse points that so many others skip. Subscribed and can't wait to see more from you!

[@boofyhalfpint8559]

Great work! Lots of little tips and tricks for me getting back into it. I might try this technique on my dragon wings LOL!!!

[@32Swordsman]

Awesome. New skill to practice.

[@andremathys3915]

Thanks for showing the video

[@PoppabearsCave]

awesome! opened up so many new ideas for me with this!

[@tughilldog]

you have convinced me that the lifter tool could easily be replaced by the deerfoot without loss of lift. Thank you for this; it is an impressive addition to the leather carving!!

[@TheLeatherverse]

Not only replace it, but take it much much further than you could with just a lifter.

[@blackironstrings]

thank you

[@CarolynaLovely]

This was fabulous! Thank you. Homesick Canadian expat… I was looking for both maple leaves and tooling tutorials and there you were. Thanks mate!

[@123jones8]

Thanks so much for sharing!!! Happy I found it. Beautiful work!!!

[@danbreau2571]

Amazing, I am just now learning the leather part of upholstery. Advanced Custom Upholstery was my shop before Augusta Maine shut me down. They decided that I have to register as an auto repair shop. I do boat tops and interiors plus vehicles and other recreational seats. I am extremely excited that I found your channel since I have to find a different direction to make money from home due to health issues. Can't wait to do this technique on all my leather projects I have been planning. Thanks for saving my business potentially by sharing this! Keep up the awesome work I'll definitely be watching and learning!

[@Author_Alyssa_Taylor]

Okay, you are just plain cool my Southern friend! This Canadian gal needed to see this. Amazing work. Good explanations and tips and I'm so glad you said 1) the ridges dig into your fingers (my tiny fingers and wrists get nerve jumps), and 2) that human beings aren't very good at doing random. I always thought that was just my linear brain! Hugs to you. I will check out your channel again. :)

[@TheLeatherverse]

So glad it helped! I hate the ridges on those tools. I eventually sanded them off with sandpaper. And yes, we're terrible at "random" It's so bad that we have problems programming computers to be random. 😂 Thank you for the kind words and can't wait to hear what you think of the other videos.

[@camillemcintosh7765]

I’ve done all the techniques you showed, but needed a refresher and I loved the little veining at the end. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for this .something to look forward to trying. Just starting without much luck but trying

[@BobCollinsSTEPcoach]

My word! You could call this “Extreme Leather Carving”! I carved and tooled for about 20 years - belts and such for a living, and more artistic pieces for family and friends. I have created some nice pieces with sharp effects, but this is cut to another level! Very impressive video. Thank you.

[@TheLeatherverse]

Thank you Bob! I would love to see some of your work sometime!

[@BMStoryTime]

Haven't been doing it for awhile. Just got back in, and realized my lifters were gone as soon as I saw your video. I keep sharp and dull. Dull ones for refining the stamps. Makes a world of difference. I was wondering why my work wasn't as good as it was. I need to go buy new lifters today. Thank you.

[@8626John]

I learned more about lifting in this 20 minute video than from anything else I have watched or read. Thanks so much!

[@TheLeatherverse]

Love hearing that! Glad it helped. I'll try to do more like this in the future.

Very Nice, great detail, being old I have old peddle lifters, and I use them 2 the enth degree, my peddles on flowers R raised 2 the point of being able 2 literary feel them like the real thing, on leaves I prefer 2 go farther than you did but that's me.

Great job! Essentially your pulling the fibers apart. But that looks awesome….. I have thousand ideas to do this also..

[@TheLeatherverse]

Thank you! Have fun with it. Lots of ways you can use it.

[@morgan-jadeironworks8313]

@The Leatherverse have you considered sanding the ridges off your deer foot tool then wave a flame across it to smooth the rubber? It worked well for me. I also sanded a curved recess on the top, close to the end of the rubber grip. This provided better purchase for my index finger and better control.

[@TheLeatherverse]

That's a good idea. Those ridges suck. I'll look into doing that. Thanks for the tip

[@vernacoley6717]

Do you have a video showing this project from start to finish. I am new to this and want to learn as much as I can. I've never seen this done before. I love it and can't wait to try my hand at it. Thank you for sharing.

Ficou muito lindo mesmo parabéns amigo pela sua obra de arte 👏🏾

[@TheLeatherverse]

Thank you!

[@robertboyer5498]

This is beautiful. What would someone do with this? Frame it? I would imagine that you couldn’t do this on something like a belt because it would tear the leather somewhat. I’m just amazed at what can be done with leather so maybe I’m wrong? I’m just starting out and I love the look of carvings. This is my favorite so far.

[@TheLeatherverse]

Wow, thank you! You can do a lesser version of this on a belt. One of the big factors is being the size of the image. It's much harder to do it on a leaf half that size. When is done right, it shouldn't weaken the leather.

[@johnrisher3007]

It could go on a hand bag or saddle bag

It's about 8oz or so. And thank you! 😊

[@shamim8822]

tanks for perfect teach.

[@TheLeatherverse]

My pleasure!

[@clydegoman1228]

Hello first off I’d like to say excellent carving skills. The tool that you made what was it originally? I’d like to make one because well custom Barry King tools are a bit out of reach. I like the expensive tools but will have to sell some items in order to purchase the high end tools. Great work and thanks for any help.

[@TheLeatherverse]

Thank you! I believe you're referring to the black handled tool. It's a deer foot modeling tool. I just rounded the heel off.

[@davemacgyver573]

I just watched a video of Jim Lindell, and he rounds the heel, which helps prevent the tool from marking up the leather when you lift the petal.

[@TheLeatherverse]

Yes! I was visiting with him after I did this video and he pointed out the same thing. I've since rounded mine off as well.

[@jgdevoe]

Where can I see how you do the veining etc?

[@glamb691]

Where is the free patterns so we can work with you?

[@TheLeatherverse]

Just got it back up and running! DanielReachCreations.com

[@stanmcconnell9474]

Bob Beard also makes some wonderful tools, especially for figure carving. This is in no way against Barry King. I have tools from both men.

[@TheLeatherverse]

I've heard that, but have never had the chance to try them... would love to one day.

[@jdkc4d]

Can't wait to get started on this one. I still need to finish snoopy. Needed s narrower beveler. How thick is this leather piece? To be honest, when I first saw this the other week, I thought it would be a leaf glued down on a separate piece of leather.

[@TheLeatherverse]

Yeah, that steep edge beveler makes the more refined tooling possible. Pretty close to a must have. The leather thickness is in the 5-6oz range.

[@flamingomtn]

How much does this compromise the strength of the leather if I'm using the tooled piece on a shoe or other use that needs strength for longevity? Thanks!

[@arveruud6803]

How manny mm leather, you use in this prosjekt?

[@TheLeatherverse]

If I remember correctly, it was 7-8 oz.

[@amandamorgan247]

What ounce of leather does best with this technique and what is the thinnest that you'd use?

[@TheLeatherverse]

Typically for this technique, I like an 8-9oz leather. The thinnest is about a 4oz.

[@Mary-fq6sm]

Beautiful work. I saw your stamped signature on the finished project & was wondering who made your metal signature stamp?

[@TheLeatherverse]

I think it was a company simply named Leather Stamp Makers. 😉

[@abulsadeque8725]

Please give the name of the tools you are using in this video.

Can you share where you got the deer foot tool for lifting please. Thanks

[@TheLeatherverse]

There's a link in the video description. 🙂

[@kizgintosbaga]

and just stay like that ? how is that even possible ?

[@bretttaylor8415]

So why use the lifter at all when you go back with the deer foot? It seems like extra work. Is it the shading that the lifter causes?

[@TheLeatherverse]

The lifter is faster than the deer foot, but the deer foot has the option of "pushing" or "rolling" the edge, which gives you more depth. It's perfectly fine to just use one or the other, but I like using both because of the reasons above.

[@jhunnail505]

Awsome
