Members David Bruce Posted February 19, 2014 Members Report Posted February 19, 2014 I am starting my second tooled wallet and realized after I started carving it that my beveler is probably not going to work. I would hate to ruin this since it's on Hermann Oak. I only have one beveler that was part of a set from Springfield. It's labeled US Stamps and is a size BW16. Any suggestions?

electrathon Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 I have 6 beveler widths in my tool set. I use the smaller, narrower ones the most. Usually when tooling I have the 3 smallest ones on my stone, swapping back and forth depending on the area of the carving. Quote
Members David Bruce Posted February 19, 2014 Author Members Report Posted February 19, 2014 Electrathon, thanks for chiming in. I figured that I would need at least a few more bevelers. Do you have recommendations for small sizes? I am thinking of ordering some from Barry King. Thanks again!

electrathon Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Hmm, Barry does not number his tools. All of mine are from him, the three smallest ones he has in the set. An undecut beveler really works awsome on the really tight turnbacks. Quote
Moderator immiketoo Posted February 19, 2014 Moderator Report Posted February 19, 2014 Actually, Barry DOES number his tools, he just doesn't stamp the number on the tool. If you go to his website, you will see numbers 0 through 4, 0 being the narrowest. Once you have them in hand, the number is irrelevant, but if you order from him, write down what you purchased so you know for when you order more tools. Also, I am near Chicago, so if you'd like to see them in person before buying, let me know. Quote Learnleather.com

electrathon Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Just went and looked. One size up from the smallest one and the two up from there. The smallest one is really small. Quote
