Smooth Bevel Lines with Joe Meling

[@Well-groomed_Hobo]

I appreciate y'all making these tutorials. Leather is expensive, and these videos help me to not mess up as much

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Glad you like them!

[@silvianaamethyst]

That was incredibly useful to me, thanks for the video! As a mathematician, I appreciate the discussion of how the length of the beveler's face relates to the curvature of the cut -- there's a neat connection withTaylor's theorem and domains of validity for the linear approximation to a curve. We must use a narrower beveler to accommodate a path with higher curvature.

Glad it was helpful!

I guess I've watched several hundred leather videos over the last few years and I have to say that you teach some minute details of the craft that I have not seen elsewhere. Thank you again for sharing your insights into how this work is accomplished. A person can spend many hours trying to perfect their technique only to have disappointing results because they missed a minor detail or two in their understanding of the tooling process...I'm a fan!

Thanks so much for your videos, very informative, hope all is goin well with ur shop renavation, be well

[@andrettishields388]

Great tip. Enjoyed the video, thanks Joe.

[@littlegirllost2654]

More detail tooling please

[@leonardwells9613]

Very basic information quite necessary for beginners with limited tools available, great video. L 👍👍

[@pearcem66]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated

[@richardhalley6895]

Thank you for the tutorial lots of value.

[@Lordstephen7813]

Simple but very affective, thanks .

[@bbrachman]

Joe: I would love to see a video on tooling with a basket weave stamp. But not a rectangular shape. (that is too easy) An odd shape. For fitting on a small sheath that has no straight edges. Fitting the basket weave stamping into ANY shape.

Make it look so easy

[@dperisty1]

Great instructions, thanks!

[@maddawgnoll]

On the tight turns I tilt like you did but as I got around the arc towards the end of the turn I tend to roll the tool over towards the leading edge. Haven't had any problems with with the transition and marring up the leather like I did in the beginning.

[@dozerman53111]

Thanks Joe. Preciate it

[@rogerluizlages]

Thank you

[@tinoyb9294]

Interesting to see that you are not putting the tool down into the cut to start. I think I just found one of my beveling problems, thanks!

[@Weefather]

I've never heard them called chatter marks before. I love it.

[@HBKStyles]

whats the number of the beveler you are using?

[@jannagel2893]

My leather doesn't turn dark if I tool it, am i casing the leather wrong or is it just the quality of the leather?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi Jan! Check out the video below on casing and see if that helps - if you're following these steps and the leather is still not getting a burnished look then it probably is the quality of the leather. The video below also shows the difference in imported leather vs. Hermann Oak. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2S8gKOod5iUhpY

[@Requeium]

Not gonna lie I can see how i can use those chatter marks on some of my designs. The angled bevel that makes those sharp lines looks trippy on the outside edge of a crow im making so thanks for the odd technique sharing xD

[@ClenioBuilder]

👏👏👏

Nice expanation!
