Double Bevel

[holmesmarsh]

Hi, how can I double bevel when not having the double bevel stamp, any other ways for doing this ?

what's you question? If you're talking about bevelling both sides of a line, then just bevel both sides.

You don't need a "special tool" for that

FOr clarification, If you are talking about beveling both sides of a single line and don't have a double bevel like pictured below, then simply bevel one side of the line(groove) with the beveler you do have and then bevel the other side. Is this what you are talking about. Or are you trying to acomplish something like the second picture?

For the record, I think the double beveler tool is crap. I have one, and it's bulky and leaves footprints from every angle. Maybe I'm using it incorrectly... You're better off just doing what Pete said.

Here is the same concept only no cuts just the beveler.

You don't NEED the double beveler. It's nice to have, but it just speeds up the process. As everybody has stated, just bevel both sides of the line. There are lots of cases in figure carving where you'll need to double bevel a very small portion of the line, a LOT smaller than the space covered by the tool. Just practice and practice some more by beveling each side. Remember, those books are a guide. You don't have to use all of the exact tools, but you do need to study the TECHNIQUE used to get the results.
