the audio in this is just beyond words. Perfectly crisp. stunning work
It’s just his sexy voice 😉
"There are diffrent animals that you can buy leather from" Hey mister aligator, can i buy your hide?
Hahahahahahha
😂😂😂😂😂
I want a T-rex hide
The so-called snake/ alligator leather boots are just top grain leather ( topmost layer removed...top grain is a misnomer) with designs carved in...it's almost impossible to use alligator skin to fold, let alone make uppers for boots..there must be few genuine ones out there priced way beyond cow hide boots.
Instructions unclear, asked my brother if I could use his skin for a bag and now I have to show up to court for threatening his life.
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 UA-cam… 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!!!
Yo you should definitely make a YT channel, with either woodworking, or both!!! Even if it just as a side job, or hobby!!
Bro, this video is so chill that I had to wear a sweater. Good info!
Baha! (great comment!)
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.
I love the sound quality you provide. And the content is savage. I take those skills and apply them to woven textiles. Thank you!
Between you and Mascon Leather you all provide a wealth of information. Totally different styles and both are great!!!
Thanks for all the work you put into making these videos. I’m learning a lot.
Thank you, my friend. Your help is priceless and you articulate so well. Your time is greatly appreciated! I 🤝
Mate this is THE best video I have come across so far on the topic. Took notes. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated for you taking the time to break this down. You answered every question I've been having in this awesome hobby. Cheers
Love that analogy of MDF and Bonded leather!
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.
Thanks a lot for breaking it down so well and fast. I went all over looking and you put together a concise explanation. thanks!
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!
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.
I love one stop shops for learning with excellent content. Thanks for sharing and keep up the GREAT work
Thanks for the concise video. I truly appreciate the resource list below. That was so nice of you.
I see your channel pop up now and again and am always impressed by your shop and the quality of your videos. Great work. Nice video.
Awesome short video with lots of great information for beginners! Thank you!
First your videos inspired me to wanting to start in leathercraft, and right after you make these two videos on how to get started, you read my mind. You're the best, thank you so much. Will be setting up my workspace today. :)
I’m just now starting out and I’ve followed you from day one and I have learned so much. Thank you!!
I also bought some of your tools and can’t wait until they arrive.
You are so darn easy to learn from man. Thank you so much.
I enjoy your videos, I appreciate the work that you do and the help that you give. You awesome man! 💯
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.
Thanks so much for this videos. I just got the idea of making my own purses and learn more about leather craft and taraaa!! Here you are 🖤 Thanks for sharing
Excellent explanation of chrome vs. veg tanned. Really learned a lot. Thanks!!
I came to your channel after seeing your video with Peter Mckinnon and I've been hooked since. Binge watched almost every video on your channel. I got so excited I bought a basic tool kit and some leather. I can't wait to try it myself. Such a great channel, keep it up! love the content and quality! The audio is just perfect! THX!
I've been creating with leather for years & never actually bothered to look into any of this info. Just by chance came across it this morning & so glad I did. Great informative video, good work & thank you!
that drill press in the background is a fantastic idea. Thank you.
Dude, these videos are amazing. Not only content and how you explain but quality as well. You actually got me into this recently and I just finished making my first dopp kit.
Awesome....you definitely answered several questions I’ve needed answered !
Thank you for explaining th difference between chrome tan and veg tan. It was very visual and that helps. 👍🏽
You sir are well spoken !
Love the info thanks for sharing I went from knowing nothing to knowing nothing but having ideas to build from really appreciate it
Thank you so much for the information, had been making little leather projects recently (travel journal and coin bags). This is so helpful~
Just getting started in leather craft. Thanks
Great video, very helpful. Thanks for the push into leather work. I am really enjoying it.
Thanks for your knowledge. I’m learning a lot.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to a new challenge!
This was exactly what I was looking for. My hat is off to you sir thank you. 👍
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.
Hey.... I am learning about leather too....i hope that you achieved your goal.
Good job! Coming from Peter's channel and I've started to work on leather because of your videos!
I love your leather craft work
Thank you for your videos! I've learned a lot watching your channel and now it's piqued my interest to try a new hobby. I got my first set this week and now to find some leather to start practicing.
Your work is amazing and if I can get to even have my stuff look 1/2 as good as yours I'll be happy!
This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Also,the quality of the video? Top!!
What a great video! So much information...I even took notes! Thanks
Thank you indeed man, for pouring your rich experience on us
Thank you very much for the info. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
I like your stuff man. I really have a fire for getting into leatherworking and am chomping at the bit to get started.
I like how your sponsorship actually includes details about who to look into as opposed to just sharing the site.
Amazing help loving your videos. Haven't got started yet but looking forward to it
I certainly took notes, PHEW! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Seeing you ball up the Leather, it gave so much excitement… I knew in that moment, I could do that to give the effect for a jacket or skirt - if I only found the teal leather completely smooth. 🤗🤗🤗
I just bought 4 sides, 2 in 3-4oz and 2 on 5-6. Going to use the thicker stuff for the shell of my wallets and the thinner for the pockets. We shall see lol😅
Awesome. Good luck!
Great video on leather selection. It's a challenging question because it can be very subjective as to the crafter's preference. Thank you.
Excellent video. Very simply explained.
Thank you! Very informative video. Also love that bag. Beautiful patina indeed.
I agree
Thanks a lot for the info, I feel some of the other starter ones seam to steer newer people away from chrome tan leathers, I'm glad to jave your knowledge of working with both. Keep these up I think they're great.
So inspired to get started making something! Thanks, buddy!
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.
Thank you, I learned a lot about leather because of this video.
Just bought my first leather from acadia.. 40 sq foot for wallets etc to get started .. 5oz medium pull . Really glad acadia was in your suppliers..
Great video for beginners! It's really hard to find all this info in 1 place and can discourage some people. When I started, I stuggeled with this quite a bit and made many projects in the wrong weights and tanages. Great video, keep it up!
Definitely a help for a new comer to the craft.... now to check your other vids :)
Thank you Ryan.
This was so helpful. Thank you.
Love your videos! You give so much info! 👏✌
Thank you, so much, for this basic information!!!!! Just getting started in leather work and this video, along with your recommended tools video, have really been helpful. My first project is going to be a sheath for a new knife that I have coming. Wish me luck!
Soooo helpful! Thank you for this!

Loved the video, and I'm not even into leathercraft. Thanks for sharing your passion.
Thank you so much! I am so happy to have found you! I am also in Canada and have been looking for leather suppliers that I could buy smaller pieces from to practice as I am new. I thought my only choice was Tandy or Micheals. Looking forward to trying my hand at this for a hobby. Putting my first order in at DLS. Thank you again. 💕🇨🇦💕
