Harag Report post Posted April 28, 2013 Hi all I'm practicing some tooling/stamping and doing some celtic knots. I current have two lines about 2mm apart and I need to bevel in betwen them. The problem I'm having is that the bevel I have is so wide from front to back, so when I bevel down the side of line one, the back of the bevel flattens the other line, meaning I don't get a crisp bevel. I'm currently using the starting Bevel - B197 Can anyone recommend which bevel - or an alternative way I can bevel small areas? I've orderd a B935 which is about 1/2 the width, but the depth front to back is the same as the B197, so I'm going to have the same problem. A couple images of the current bookmarks I've done (first go BTW). http://www.mazdrak.c...rk/DSCF1580.JPG http://www.mazdrak.c...rk/DSCF1584.JPG Many thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted April 28, 2013 Most of the craftool bevelars have this problem. The angle of the beval is virtually flat, not tapered. If you want to buy from Tandy buy from the Pro line, or buy from Barry King for even better made/quality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyberthrasher Report post Posted April 29, 2013 Barry King or any other "Sheridan" style beveler. They have a steep angle to get into tight spaces. PLUS, they work a hell of a lot better!!! In the meantime, angle the beveler back so the heel doesn't hit the other line as easily, or just use a modeling spoon in that area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightingale Report post Posted April 30, 2013 Definitely get some good sheridan bevellers. You won't BELIEVE how the quality of your work goes up with just this one tool upgrade. If you have some extra cash around, Barry King also sells some "concave" and "convex" bevellers, which I found useful at certain points of teeny tiny celtic knots. I've attached the concave and round beveller pictures from Barry King's website. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harag Report post Posted April 30, 2013 Thanks for the thumbnails and the pointers to BK website - Does he deliver to the UK? I'm guessing this might cost a lot for overseas though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Blea Report post Posted April 30, 2013 Try contacting Barry through his website. I know he does ship internationally, and he can probably tell you what the shipping costs are. He is very responsive and he (or someone in the shop) will get back to you quickly. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
