Thank you! That would be me, Jason 😊😁 I was lucky enough to meet and film Nigel for this channel, although he does have his own if you search Armitage leather on UA-cam he has a whole bunch of tutorials that you can get stuck into!
@A Great Alternative well the composition and edits were excellent. if ya ever feel like doing some freelance editing, please let the community know :)
@@nicholaskillmeier4895 Thanks Nicolas! Freelance filmmaker (filming & editing) is what I do as my day job so it’s certainly something I’m interested in 😁 What community specifically did you have in mind?
@@agreatalternative Some day I'd like to have a generic "makers" channel. I do all kinds of stuff, mostly knifemaking/blacksmithing, some audio arts, photography, music, electronics, and recently getting into leather crafting. I'm an avid photographer, so there's aspects of that that are easy for me. But I do not have the talent nor the inclination to edit great videos, and I've failed miserably trying haha. If I get into making a youtube channel, I'd be looking for someone to edit a video once a month, possibly up to once a week if it does well, and obviously in a budget that makes sense.
@@nicholaskillmeier4895 Sounds nice! I’ve done a few videos on uploading stock footage that you might be interested in? Good luck with all the pursuits 👍 If you need an editor down the line, feel free to give me a shout 😊
Been a big fan of NA for a long time. I put him right up there with Peter Main, Al Stohlman, and the like. Completely different type of creator than the others, but it's about mastery. Such impeccable work.
for someone just starting how about the first basics. workbench how to build what top what covering for cutting and punching for those hours away from any suppliers or teachers that are lost as to what to buy either from a lumber yard or box store from wall mart most are confounded.
Wow 🤩 great video made me sad a bit because I have pull back from the leather crafting due to finances because of my health this video as lit a little spark in me that I losses for a bit
Really enjoyed watching this. I first picked up a needle and thread during lockdown and have started to gain a passion for it. Keep the UA-cam content coming. 👍🏼
Thanks Richard, means a lot to see how much you liked it! This channel and similar filmmaking was how I spent a good chunk of my lockdown, which means it’s getting slightly harder to keep up with the weekly releases but loving every minute 😁
“Job’s a good on’!” Great vid about the best leather working teacher on UA-cam! I learned from Nigel’s videos and they always bring me joy. Some day I’d love to get out of the US and meet Nigel in the UK!
Maybe he should do some more tutorials starting, “Oh look, it’s a box” 😂 Cheers dude, I’d certainly recommend it, Nigel’s a really down to earth bloke, happy to share knowledge over a cup of coffee anytime 👍
Easy to film craftsmen like Nigel and yourself, everything looks good 😁 Feeling very lucky to see this video being seen by so many! Exactly what it is made for!
Great video. Learned some stuff about Nigel that fill in the gaps from all his videos. Most of my leatherworking knowledge has come from Nigel's videos. Years worth of videos. Plus a few others. But Nigel taught me how to saddle stitch. I do it the same way he first showed me. I do not sell my items. I just make them. Give them away. Play. Thanks for this video.
Thanks Bruce! Nigel is certainly a deep sea of knowledge, and clearly is still doing it because he likes to play as well 😁 Being creative is all about play, not just making money!
Just came across your video, love your shop! I’m a Ironworker by trade. But have been working with leather for 20 years now, I make scabbards , pouches, bolt bags, reel pad with a tape holder attached. What ever a Ironworker can hold on his or her, tool belt I can make, it is a a lot of fun. I made a candy box and put all my grandkids name on it, they love it! Thanks
Some remarks from my side. I don‘t think it‘s a „job“ for you. I think it is more a passion. 11 yeasr ago I started to make my first knife. As a hobby, it still is a hobby and not a profession. With knife making as a natural progression comes leather work. Well knives need sheats. There is another think in common, as Nigel mentioned. Somethimg made with my hands that will be handed down to my children and grandchildren. Thnaks you Nigel for sharing your skills. A good portion of my leather work skills I learned through your videos. Anocra imparo.
Who did the video editing? Well done! Thank you for sharing with us Nigel.
Thank you! That would be me, Jason 😊😁

Isn’t Nigel’s a dream workshop 😁
Almost half of the tools are not available any more!
Thanks for the kind words 👍
Really enjoyed this! Well done!
Thanks Beth, really glad to hear that, made my evening 😁
Wonderful craft work and story telling, bravo good sirs
Thanks 👊
Nigel is a good storyteller, although I’m sure you will give him a run for his money 😁
When I finally get round to the edit that is!!
Reminds me Farage, referring to Nigel.

Großartiger Handwerker, großartiger Lehrer, großartiger Typ…. Ich hoffe ihn mal zu treffen.
If u don't want it I will buy it from you!
I’m not sure what Nigel has done with it, probably pride of place sat on the shelf amongst his ‘display of strange projects’ he’s got going 😁
