Tooling Tuesdays: Tooling a skull

[@rhettmahaley5146]

Good job, brother.

[@bgenzoli2]

@attacklineleather Can you list the tools you used? Especially that backgrounder and bevelers? Where can we download that pattern?

[@jessiejohnson2572]

Thanks for the input you give good detail on your work helps a lot ive learnt to do a lot more detail on my lettering thanks and keep up the good work

[@AttackLineLeather]

Thank you for the support

[@antonyi4739]

Greetings, beautiful work and thank you for all for your videos, you used the same tool to get around the drawing, could tell which model is grateful.

[@AttackLineLeather]

I believe you're referring to the swivel knife

[@TexHoss1]

Does that blue tape work good? I have used clear packing tape & shelf paper. The packing tape is hard to get off sometimes.

[@AttackLineLeather]

I find the painters tape works best. The packing tape does leave residues

[@Glennoutdoors]

Thanks for your time !

Old LEATHER SMITH here, if I may, a few suggestions, put a few drops of liquid dish soap in the water, it will absorb faster and your swivel knife will cut easier, I believe a hair blade will work better in your cross hatches, nice project, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@AttackLineLeather]

Very good tips. Thank you

[@drakkaritshan6273]

Thanks for listening, for the stamping tool which model it could say, because there are many to give this contour effect.

How do you go about wetting your leather for tooling?

[@AttackLineLeather]

I just use a spray bottle with water in it. Its has a steady mist and you can find them at tandy leather or hobby lobby

[@walthyde5159]

that a great looking skull

[@AttackLineLeather]

Thank you

[@rodjohnson5119]

Using a certain kind of paper to transfer the skull?

[@AttackLineLeather]

Its called vellum paper. I get it at Office Depot.

[@rodjohnson5119]

@@AttackLineLeather I appreciate the replies. It's my first deep dive into leather work on youtube. With as much artsy stuff I watch on KZbin, I'm surprised I haven't ran into it years ago. I'm fascinated.

[@AttackLineLeather]

@@rodjohnson5119 not a problem at all. Another hreat guy to look up is Don Gonzales

[@taffyddu]

Why do you tape the back side of the leather?

[@AttackLineLeather]

It's so the leather doesnt stretch while you tool, and it helps with leaving a better stamp indention.
