Hand Tooling a Large Basket Weave Pattern

I am a complete noob at tooling and have always wanted to get into it. This video was great! It gives me the confidence to continue working on it! Thanks!

Could some one tellme were to find a vertical line pear shader like thd one used here?
Please...and thank you

Im new, working with scrap leather. Id really like for my efforts to resemble your skill.

This is awesome! I have a target quiver to make for a lady soon and this will be perfect to go with the rest of the setup I made her. I think I’m gonna have to steal this

That looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. Great work.

Thanks so much, just starting out and this helps a lot!

I can see very well why people were giving you high praise as a magician at the Waco convention! Could you provide a link for the edge beveler that you used please? Leatherworking novice, so I am looking to get as much info as possible.

Thank you much, and I will absolutely try this out as soon as I get my hands on a decent piece of marble!

Good instrumentation thanks.

First try on a basket weave design, turned out pretty good thanks to your videos

great and so thankfull for this tutorial. Just did a small piece on a phone holster.

Trabalho Maravilhoso! Parabéns!

Just had a leather worker make a thick basket weave pattern on a belt for me and it turned out great

Thankyou for all your great videos, I learn so much from you. I'll be doing this on some of my note pad covers. Hope one day I'll be as good as you.

Can you name the shader for me to find it?

This was pretty simple and I have seen other people do it, the process, look you did was a wow factor. Thank you for that.

Do you have a recommendation for dyeing this pattern?

Awesome instructional video Don! Looks amazing!

Great video thank you for the detailed explanation.

Chulada de trabajo mi hermano

This is indeed a pretty eye-pleasing, yet simple pattern.
Thanks for sharing this helpful vid. Much appreciated. 🤝

This is cool looking I need a push beveler

Beautiful. Thankyou. You saved me the cost of a basket stamp and this looks so much better and more enjoyable 😊

Thank you for all that you do for persons like me.

Thanks for sharing this. I aspire to tool as good you do. One question if I may: Your first swivel knife you used.....I am not familiar with blades that are concave along the sides....Is there a reason for that and where does one acquire such a thing?

Oh my!!!!!

You should make more projects videos I watch them while I am making leather stuff please I have great project videos ideas. iPad case, phone case, tv remote case, an arm Garuda for archery, a finger glove for archery, picture frame case , ect please

I’m no leather craftsman but daggone I can watch you work for hours. Thank you

Great video Don
love this pattern going to try it

you do such great work. you make it look so effortless. another great video.
and the "gauge" is actually a scale. lol. thank you for the great content

Those are called an architect's scale.

I really like it and will try it out

Always love your videos. You never disappoint.

Just did a test piece..turned out awesome. I used my flower center shader and the little radius on the end of tool doesn't even show up at all as long as you don't lean it back too much.

Hello Mr. Gonsales, I would be very grateful if you would put the templates for the saddles on sale. Many people want to learn the trade and we do not know how to make the saddle, since there is a lot of complexity and it does not come out the first time and many of us are inexperienced in the exact or correct measurements. what should i wear the frame 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Looks awesome!✌🏻

increíble.!!! muchas gracias 👏👏👏

Thank you so much! I tried doing some on some scrap several weeks ago and it turned out ok, but this really adds some more depth to it. Can't wait to try this on a pistol case I'm working on. Thanks again!

I've been using this pattern for a while now but I used a hair blade instead of a lined pare shader. Next time I'll try my vertical lined pare shader. I like the look of yours. It can be very confusing on a larger scale. Lots of beveling in opposing directions. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.

I was hoping you would do a video on this. I have done it a few times and thought it looked pretty good until I saw it on some of your work. What you did looked so much better and now I see what I was missing. Thank you!

I saw you posted a picture of this on Instagram and was hoping you would do a demo, Thank You!

Coincidentally, I noticed an actual basket this morning...thought that would be cool to replicate. Thanks again, Don, for your expertise!

you make that look so easy, thanks for the great video

Thank you!!!!! I'm so happy you made this video!!!

Thanks Don!
