Dude, I’ve been watching your videos since you started making them. I’m a self-employed woodworker, but I’ve always dabbled with leatherworking and greatly enjoy the skills and materials that cross over both crafts. And it was so easy to get started because I already had many of the tools required… Because they are used so much in woodworking.I also greatly enjoy making my own knives, pricking irons, and other cutting tools… Which is helpful in saving money and it’s also a load of fun! I guess those years of machinist courses and knife making paid off for something useful!

It’s been a long time coming to get a real professional leather crafting channel on YouTube… Who is so consistent when showing the process and materials accurately.

Your video qualities are outstanding… And I greatly enjoy them! I could get lost in leatherworking and completely forget my woodworking responsibilities! That’s how much fun this is! Keep it up. It’s awesome!!!

Between you and Mascon Leather you all provide a wealth of information. Totally different styles and both are great!!!

Getting started I got my leather from fleamarkets etc, I used old jackets, bags and so on for my projects. And leather couches, chairs and more oh my.

What is it with you leather workers? You're all so chill and easy to listen to. Your explanation of chrome vs veg tanned leather instantly explained why my Johnston & Murphys look so different from my Florsheims. Subbed.

Good to see you back. This was a GREAT video for me right now. I just got a butt load of leather working tools and now its on to leather choice, so THANKS! Always enjoy your content.

Thank you for the tips! I’m working with faux leather for starters to make sure I can do the project for the most part before putting money towards real leather and I’m looking into starting my own side business.

Great video! I would add though that you have a BELL SKIVER so you are able to buy that thickness for your wallets because you can skive it down. As a new leather crafter I did not know I needed to skive and wasted a lot of money on leather that I couldn’t use as is for my project.

Much appreciated for you taking the time to break this down. You answered every question I've been having in this awesome hobby. Cheers

I've been looking into leather working for a while. This has been the most educational and cleared up some of the most aggravating problems. Thanks a lot.

"There are diffrent animals that you can buy leather from" Hey mister aligator, can i buy your hide?

[CarolineMouraHuber]

I must say this was the most helpful video on leather types I watched so far. I decided to learn leather craft thanks to your beautiful work and videos. Thanks for all the info you share!

[jbarhmaker]

Bro, this video is so chill that I had to wear a sweater. Good info!

[jameswinterbottom]

Love that analogy of MDF and Bonded leather!

[bobbuilder]

Thanks for all the work you put into making these videos. I’m learning a lot.

How you plan on finishing your edges should also be a factor when choosing the type of leather. I used all veg tanned (when first starting) so I could burnish the edges. Now that I have the tools and edge paints, I'm able to use more chrome tanned. Just a extra tid bit for anyone looking at purchasing leather.

I love the sound quality you provide. And the content is savage. I take those skills and apply them to woven textiles. Thank you!
