That's cool, I used to tattoo flesh, always wondered if that was possible. Now sky's the limit

Been doing similar with a Dremel engraver for some time. It takes an 1/8” bit in a collet so I made a bunch of different tools from a piece of tool steel rod. One advantage is its mains powered and its standard bit is great for bevelling

@@markedis5902 I got one of those too to experiment with after someone mentioned it in a leathercraft FB group. Surprisingly easy and it's only $25.

Thank you for covering many of the questions that popped for me when I first saw the video title. After I blow an unpredictable amount of time and money trying to make one, I might buck up and get the real thing. That’s my usual routine. Best to you.

@@paulzsoka9037yeah, in this case if I can’t make it or something worthwhile like it I’ll just quietly struggle along without…har har.

@katieyoder2192 Ай бұрын

Great idea, but isn't the engraving tool more of a rotary motion? Whereas this is a "tapping" or "tamping.?" I'm intrigued by your method, but my question is, are you actually "beveling" your lines or are you griding material away? Or holding at an angle and letting the rotation of the tip burnish the bevel as you move the tool along? ... Also, I want to know more about the little blue dye and brush holder he was using! :) ✌❤

I don't see it necessarily replacing anything. I do see it as a new tool that will bring a basket full of new options to any project. As it gets used by more people we will learn new and exciting ways to combine this with long established tools and techniques. I am looking forward to adding this to my bench.

@DanielReachCreations Ай бұрын

I completely agree!

@lynxlady5355 Ай бұрын

I've seen this product before, but I'm really excited about watching you put it thru it's paces to create some great leather artwork! I'll be following the channel closely.

This was incredibly relaxing to watch.

@fardareismaigrandma6825 Ай бұрын

Funny you mentioned arthritis, that is a concern for me. I'm 65 yrs old and just starting to learn tooling. How intense is the vibration on the tattooling machine? The vibration and the sheer size of the tool could be problematic for me.

im looking forward to seeing more videos on this going to be great

@RayKonold Ай бұрын

This is a great introduction. I am imagining a combo of traditional tooling and tattooling. I can't wait to see what you do with it next.

@MrJetplanemusic Ай бұрын

You just stole that comment right out of my head. I was just going to say the same thing.

@DanielReachCreations Ай бұрын

That's exactly what I plan on doing! Great minds...

@james2592OldLeatherSmith Ай бұрын

OLD Leather Smith here, GREAT DANIEL, I will add it 2 my tools, it will B an interesting addition. Music OK, BUT I PREFER HEARING WHAT THE TOOL SOUND'S LIKE. paint OK. I usually only use DYE, my preference. God's Blessings ✝️ 🥎 🙃

@ianthomas3653 Ай бұрын

Great video. In my experience its a great addition to the toolbox. I find it a great tool to use in addition to traditional tooling as opposed to as a replacement. Thats not to say it couldn't work by itself, but I still like the swivel knife and traditional bevels better for some applications. I have played with the tattooling machine for quite some time, and can see the benefits, and some areas that it doesn't (at least for me) work as well as traditional tooling. All in all i would say if you are on the fence, go for it. its fun to use and can give you effects that would be difficult if not impossible to do with traditional tools.

@archstanton1863 Ай бұрын

i love weaver! however, this item seems like one of the new tools that ill wait for a year or two until its closer to $150

@luvnotvideos Ай бұрын

As I've gotten older I've found my hands less and less cooperative when tooling. This looks promising. I look forward to seeing and learning more before purchase.

@richardkatzman1215 Ай бұрын

Daniel, is the Tattoo tool laying down ink or is it burning the leather? Is it like programs? Not sure exactly what it does?

@DanielReachCreations Ай бұрын

The "needles" are moving in and out really fast, but they aren't actually penetrating the leather. There's no ink...its just burnish. No programs other than the fact you can set the speed with the +/-. The higher the number, the fastert the needle moves. Everything else is up to you. 😀

Interesting gadget. Definitely worth a closer look. 👍🏻

@stevenwalters3639 Ай бұрын

What do the tips actually look like? Do you need to orient them like a traditional tool?

@WeaverLeatherSupply Ай бұрын

The tips that come with the kit all have rounded tips and do not need to be oriented. We will be launching additional tips down the road that you will likely need to orient like a traditional tool. Hope that helps!

@bobzee5153 Ай бұрын

I definitely need one of those in my life.😁

@Ph0enixW0lf Ай бұрын

I’m still on the fence about this tool. I am very interested to see you use it in conjunction with traditional tooling. I feel like it might help get those tiny details in places where it’s hard to fit a tool. But just by itself it doesn’t look as good as your normal work.

@odalesaylor Ай бұрын

Great description.

@maddockmalys Ай бұрын

I actually have a question about the fiebings antique you applied. I've been using that stuff for over a decade and it always turns ashy when it dries unless i cut it with tan kote. It looks like you're applying it straight from the jar! Are you doing anything special to it?

@DanielReachCreations Ай бұрын

I've never experienced that, but I've heard it's very common. I always re-seal my antique with Tan Kote, which might be why I don't have that issue. Might try that. 😊

@maddockmalys Ай бұрын

@@DanielReachCreations Thanks! Yeah, I've tried applying Tan Kote afterwards and it didn't solve the issue, but maybe I'll revisit the technique. In general, thinning the antique with Tan Kote works well, it just means the paste is more of a gel consistency. Often that's exactly what I want, but not always.

@blueshirtmonday Ай бұрын

Still not sure about this tool. Feels like a novelty. But if someone had limited mobility in their hands or just didn't want to learn traditional tooling this would be good.

@robwagner7545 Ай бұрын

My disability makes standing or sitting for an extended time painful, so I could see the benefits of using this in place of a swivel + bevel. That said, I can't imagine I would ever get the same results as I do with my traditional tools.

@blueshirtmonday Ай бұрын

@robwagner7545 I could see how it would help. Have you tried the Dremel engraving tool? Basically the same thing for $25

@DanielReachCreations Ай бұрын

If you're still on the fence, let's get a few more videos in and see how you feel. Might not be right for you. Maybe after I use it in a few more projects you'll see a way that might really benefit you. 😊
