Leather Tooling For Beginners: How To Use The Tools You Need

[@halloweenhills]

I've honestly been considering learning how to work with leather but more videos I have looked at got me confused as hell. U explain everything so well and clear. I've been itching to make a leather belt and later make some art in it. Just had no idea how or what to use. Thank you lots. Gonna try to get into leather offically now. Ya gave me some confidence

I started making things from leather for six months now. It’s for brilliant for mental health. I come across this fantastic video because I want to learn to put patterns on my projects I make from knife, axe, scissors sheath. I’m not into leather work to make money I just love doing it, helps the mind and anxiety. ❤ I got a cheap set of stamping tools off Amazon. (Not recommended) it’s a reason they were cheap only had them a month or two and stamp shafts are all bent. Only decent thing in the kit was the swivel tool. So wish I could afford to buy the kit sold here. Looks very good quality. I will have to save ❤❤❤ good video. I’m going to watch more of your videos and subscribe now.

I was gifted a oooold leather working tool kit from one of my step dad’s uncles about a decade ago and didn’t know what to do with most of it. I knew I wanted to get into leatherwork eventually but at the time I was in a big ceramics hyperfixation. Before I moved states I found a local leather craftsman and gave him the dyes and misc tools I didn’t know anything about, but I kept the decorating tools (?) because I knew I’d use them for something. They’re Craftool from Colorado, I have 13 dif designs and I’m so glad I kept them. My first experience with leather was recently, I made myself leather stays for the renaissance faire and used a sewing stitch-marking wheel to make some decorative patterns since I didn’t have time to really learn how to use the tools I kept. I made the stays with absolutely no leather-working experience but I’m smart, I knew the weight was heavy enough to hold the pressure of lacing, I knew I could only really cut once, and they came out great. Now a year later it’s RenFaire season again and it just occurred to me that it’s the perfect time to really go ham with my decorating my stays, so here I am. That leaf pattern is what got me, that shit is beautiful. This video has been heavily informative, I appreciate you and your efforts. Edit: I’m googling all the serial #s on each tool and most of them are considered vintage, like some were only made in the 60s/70s. I already felt super lucky that I was gifted such a great set, but even more-so now. I wish I had kept the entire tool box he gave me, I knew how stupid it was at the time to give them away but I had to prioritize space and parse down my growing collecting of art/hobby supplies when I moved.

Jürgen Volbach learn me a very good Trick for backgrounding, befor backgrounding push the background a little bit down after that use the backgrounder to finish the process!!! Works really well &no more worms in my background work & looks 1000 times better! ,!

[@timtrax918artisan8]

I dont know the brand of those stamping tools are but I really like the chamfer on the striking end. I chuck up my BK tools in a cheap lathe and face them and apply a chamfer as it greatly reduces the time it takes to find the tool in the shop after striking it lol

[@billybeasley5131]

I wish i had your begginner set when i started. Life would have been better

[@denellequalls3286]

Do you have a tool set and a design templates you recommend for beginners? I’d like to try designs like this. Thank you.

[@default2461]

[@yagamerboichucc6120]

Hey! I’d like to look into purchasing one of your beginner tooling kits, will they come back in stock soon?

[@moi712]

[@seansilva967]

I’ve been painting for 20+ years and I decided to take a shot at tooling leather to see if any of my painting skillset can transfer to a new medium. This video is exactly what I was looking for to figure out what tools to start with so thank you for the info and demonstrations 🤌🤌🤌

[@tinoyb9294]

If you have any artistic/drawing skills at all, you will be way ahead of most of us!

[@FKNSENDIT]

Has anybody seen a triple stamp like a basket weave stamp where u need to get it perfectly aligned if u had 3 on one it lines itself up

[@jacks.7373]

It's a tri-weave stamp, craftool has them, you can get them from tandy

[@MusicIsTheJoyOfLife]

[@odalesaylor]

Great advice.

[@globalcapoeira-ocanaldacon8157]

Amazing tutorial. What is the name/type of leather you recommended in the tutorial? Thank you.

[@joemeling3216]

I recommend Hermann Oak Leather for tooling on.

[@globalcapoeira-ocanaldacon8157]

@@joemeling3216 Thank you!

[@belindarobinson1636]

Do you ship to Australia?

[@aylinsalas8210]

Hello, I am trying to buy the deluxe beginner tooling kit but it is out of stock. When will you restock, thank you.

[@joemeling3216]

We will be restocked by the end of next week.

[@shelraven1]

Are those bevelers from your beginner tool kit or are they Barry King customs?

[@patrickbrown551]

Fighting bad material can cause you to doubt yourself.

[@readytostartshooting]

Enjoy all your teaching videos!!

[@Zeign-m4r]

Fantastic work, Sir 💯 I wonder how I can sell if I successfully replicate what you have done. Are the beautifully tooled leather pieces meant for wallet, bags?..

[@tinoyb9294]

The squares are usually just practice pieces, but perhaps you could sell them as a set of coasters for drinks on a table after they have been given a waterproof finish.
