Tooling A Monthly Planner - Project 2 (Part 1)

This month I am building a cover for a monthly planner. Even if you don't use a traditional paper planner, you can use this pattern on other book or journal covers. You could even use parts of this pattern for belts or other smaller projects.

Keep an eye out for the next episode where I will show you the finish and construction process.
If you would like this pattern to tool yourself, it is available in the Leather Life Community. There is a link below in case you haven't joined the group yet. Be sure to share a picture in the group after you tool up the pattern!

Also, if you would like this exact planner to build a cover for, here is an affiliate link for the one that I will be using.

Normally I don't watch long videos but I certainly enjoyed watching your work on this project.
I've been making key fobs using 2/3D stamps and selling them for $15 but WOW, You are an absolute Artist!!
Thank You for your inspiration, I hope I can learn more from your examples as time goes by.
Just trying to learn how to be so fluid with the swivel knife is a challenge. God Bless You Always!!

When do you think you may have some of your tool sets back in stock, I'd surely like to order one.

You may have mentioned it maybe I missed it, but is the beveler you used for the vine work a Barry king xx steep checkered ? If not what is it? Thanks!

[NonanoN-erde]

Hello Joe,
The beveler used for the boarder isn't the same as the one u used to start the pattern, right?

[brucenelson]

Is that cutting tool sharp? Or flat with a slight rounding to it?
I guess what I am trying to figure out is if it is actually "cutting" the leather, or is it "depressing" the leather?

Iv tried to join the community but never got excepted oh well

Do you have a time frame for when you starter kits will be back in stock? I would love to get into it and was curious if you'd have some anytime soon. Thank you!!

Que medida de swivel knive wangler recomienda y dos cuchillas?

[billkingsbury]

At the risk of seeming nit-picky or ungrateful of your instruction, at approx. 11:44, you didn't exactly follow the transfer line and curved it a little more than was there. How do you "fix" that? With the stylus, you've already made a line in the leather, so how do you make that go away? oh, asking for a friend, cause I've NEVER done that.... :)

Why would your shading come out so much darker than when I do it?
