You have a great way of explaining how you achieve the look on your tooling. Its like listening to a good friend in a one on one lesson. Thank you for the classes.
I have watched this video a couple of times and the latest holster I made has near perfect bar grounding that's even in depth, not mushy looking, and I appreciate this video immensely!! ( I was struggling in the background)
Thanks for posting this Joe. I was literally just struggling with bar grounding last night and I was experiencing the issues you discussed in this video.
Hi Joe, I see you fan the tool around within the small curved spaces, but what if the area was squarer and larger than the bar grounder tool, would you still fan the tool or would you go for a boxier straighter line technique ? thank you
shouldnt you be putting out the same quality no matter what though?? whether its a contest piece or just a regular piece you are doing for business, the quality should remain the same. you should never ever compromise on the quality of your work. I get it that you are in business, but that mentality of doing less quality job on purpose just to save time does not jive well.....
I understand what you are saying. Let me explain a little better. The difference between taking the time to size down in tools and run in a line rather than fanning within an area is an artistic difference rather than a quality issue. Quality is not affected either way. I have found that contest judges like to see you use more tools to achieve that look while customers prefer a method that is more efficient with the time they are paying for. If someone requested something particular in their backgrounds I would definitely accommodate them. However, in over 15 years I haven’t had a customer who has had a preference either way. Does that make more sense?
