A ton of good info! Question though. I bought a double shoulder and what my shop called a character hide tooling 2-3 oz. Made some wallets and they shine like crazy after a few months. Will an economy belly developed the same shineyness? A video on the three explaining would be useful. I can only get answers at my local shop and it's a ton of info.

Thanks,

Appreciate the info but you should definitely try making shorts that get to the point for us searching and trying to get answers without the extra stuff.

I was looking forward to an informative video, but it was so hard to sit through the forced, contrived attempt at humor, which was neither funny nor enjoyable.
