    I Made 200 Shell Cordovan Wallets in a Week...Alone
    For our 15th anniversary Kayleena and I made a very special shell cordovan with Rocado Tannery in Tuscany. They helped us develop a tie dye colored Shell, and even let us cobrand it. This video is documents (barely) the making of this limited run in celebration of the 15 years yall have supported us, and takes a turn when Kayleena unfortunately gets sick which leaves me to get the whole run done by myself!
    Luckily, as we've talked about recently, I used plenty of tools and materials from our sponsor Buckleguy and our stamping dies to get the job done. I also sewed a looooooot....which I didn't show haha. Thank you all from the bottom of our heart for 15 years of business, we can't wait to see what the next 15 years brings!

    "Now that shell has been, y'know, unlocked from one tannery making it..." WOW! What a *massive* slam against Horweeen, man. I've seen a few comparison videos between Rocado, Shinki, and Horween. There's a reason why one of those brands is "the brand" and has been for over a hundred years. Still, though, great effort in what you produced... very impressive and a cool backstory!

No idea what I will make yet, happy with practice. Probably key chains/patches at first. I have a pyrography kit somewhere too. Boggled by Pinterest, should be fun.

    This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. My Dad had a leather kit he used for making western belts, but to memory I don't think he ever had presses, just the dies to which I believe he used a rubber mallet to set and/or cut what he needed. He had the dies of the whole alphabet in Capital letters and a hole punch. I still have the letters and hole that he used!!! I was hoping you would show the sewing/stitching process, and he would come also!!!!
