[@kathleencaudill7001]

Great project!

Very helpful 👍👍 Thankyou 😊

I like your vids and really like you teaching method. I am just trying to learn tooling I am 66 retired and I have been lasering for hats and bought way to many stamp tools. One big thing concerns me is the price of the leather to tool but still considering .

Joe, great video

[@joemeling3216]

Thank you!

[@philsullivan3679]

Love your work and your delivery while teaching. I am learning more and more as I glean from your experience. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. Where is Clark County and what did you do at the Bible Camp?

[@pearcem66]

Great video thanks Joe. I have the same shader but I'm getting a bit of choppiness from the front or back edge if i run it for a bit longer shading. More practice i guess. Thanks again.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

Id recommend watching ur angle and pressure when finishing off the shading. I dont have a b. king shader but id imagine its better than my one from Tandy haha practice makes perfect. -Regards

[@pearcem66]

@@Handles-R-Lame thanks for the advice. I will watch that.....and keep practicing 😬

[@johntyson9102]

Hello I’m watching the shading video thanks. What sewing machine do you use

[@nathankouris8491]

I'm very new and only have about a dozen tools to my name. Will this technique work the same way with a pear shader?

[@mikevan7870]

Joe, Great Videos I have purchased your patterns doing the “Bull Rider” right now and was wondering #1what weight maul you use for shading I have 2 Barry Halls and love them I know a lot of it is control and practice but just curious. Also how moist or stage is ideal for shading Thanks again for your help and Time !

[@joemeling3216]

Hey Mike, Thank you for following along and for your purchase! I use a 20oz maul for my tooling. Search on KZbin for Joe Meling Casing Leather. There is a video I did for Weaver that goes in great detail on moisture content.

[@miguelcritobal2869]

What number of chisel to lower the leather

[@jairsiqueira3935]

aonde comprar essas ferramentas, qual a numeração delas

[@alexvldz7]

What’s your maul weight?

[@deborahdean4153]

how do your lines get so dark...?

[@rasdlsify]

When shading my leather, it’s not getting darker, just making the depression. I’ve tried wetting it more but not getting that pretty dark shade

[@joemeling3216]

There are three things that will affect the burnishing color. Moisture content in the leather, how hard you hit it, and the quality of leather. I am tooling on Hermann Oak. Many import leathers will be lighter colored and not burnish well.
