Thanks sooo much for taking the time and effort to make this great video! I especially enjoyed your suggestions and reasons for using each particular tool, plus you included the website for purchase of each tool also! Great video for a beginner! Always tough to start out in a new adventure without any idea on what to do and what to purchase! Again, Thanks sooo much for all your time and effort!

Great video and something I have been looking for. Did not feel like I was just being sold a lot of stuff. Very well done. I am a woodworker too and looking to get into this craft. Looks fun and not too expensive to get into. Thanks.

Thank you Sean, informative, brief and well laid out. Lots of details and tips, this will be very useful.

Great video Sean ! This was the exact video I was looking for when I first took an interest in the craft but couldn't find. I'm sure someone is going to come across this and find some very useful info. On my edges I've been using the same dye as I use for the rest of the piece although It takes extra coats as the edges really suck it up not unlike end grain on wood. For burnishing I've been using beeswax and that system gets me by until I can getter other products.

I especially loved this video because there was no background music drowning out your voice and I could hear everything you were saying! I've had a hard time hearing your instructions in many of the other videos. I hope you do more like this. Thanks.

[bfpeake]

[krishnendhuchakra]

Good video, sir. I want to start making my own knife/axe sheaths and other little trinkets. The information in this video will come in very handy in the future.
