      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.

    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!!!

    • @crusader3400

    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.
