Mascon Leather - Навчання та стиль
Probably THE most unique and entertaining leatherworking content I have ever seen. Plus you learn alot. It's like a more entertaining PBS kids.
I'm really digging the hybrid talking/sped-up video format! I've missed the old sped-up style vid, and this one allows for explanation as well as high entertainment value. Thanks and cheers!
Thanks!!! It’s a lot of work for the hybrid, but helps to cut a 6 hour video down to 20 minutes
100% agreed
This guy is the Bob Ross of leather working.
😆 omg !!! I’ve though about that!!!! Like …. “Don’t be Bob Ross” …. Then… “we’ll… why not?” Thanks for that!!
Let’s see where to start;! My name is Doug , Ironworker Doug! lol. Ah well, the wife and I have been watching your videos since you started! I have been leather crafting for 20 years now. I make tool holder’s for Ironworkers’s. That stitching pony you use, I took some pictures of it drew, sketched out what I thought looked good, and preceded to trace and cut, traced and cut a bunch of wood pieces, glued them up 🆙 and made one . One of my first wood glue projects ever! The box I mounted it on has drawers on each side, to keep the sowing stuff in um . I can’t believe how cool 😎 it turned out! Thanks
Boom!!!! Nice !!!
And thanks for watching!!!

Incredibly informative and easy to follow with great editing and humour. I have searched and watched countless leather craft videos but for some reason the algorithm just wasn't surfacing your channel. Now that I have found it however you've quickly become my favourite leathercraft channel. Thank you!
Your whole bump jig thing changed my leatherworking. Thank you
Thank YOU! And…. Get ready. More new tools coming out soon. That’ll change it more ! 😉
I have been playing around with leather since I retired 6 years ago. I have watched a lot of videos but never ran across any of yours until today. I love how you flip the leather around and the jigs and straight edges while your cutting. Your expaination of your tools and leather is excellent and easy to follow. Also enjoyed the bits of your personal life you shared with us. You can be sure I'll be watching more.
Awe !!! Thanks !!! There’s one video done by a tv crew…. More about the brand, me, family, etc.
Thanks for watching!!
Artie I am a HUGE fan of your work, and really enjoy your videos. They provide me with instruction as well as inspiration. Like you told me once... just make it yours! Your love of animals touches my heart. So cool you honor your fur babies with some ink. Kudos to you sir !
Awe !!! Thanks, sir !!
Watching your videos is making me up my game in wallets and other leather goods along with my knife making. Have never seen the bump jigs used till I watched you. Will definitely give some a try. Beautiful items you make for sure. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Thank you for another masterpiece video! And special thanks for the feeling of the video with which you approach your craft.
Thanks for that! And thanks for watching!
When you are as smooth as this guy at your work, you know what you are doing!
Thank you for that!
Love this channel man - everyone has a maker inside them
Thank you with helping me on my journey
Awe !!!
Amazing as usual. You've basically made a 15min video summarising the knowledge I got from you over the years of me pausing, rewinding and replaying your earlier ones. :)
😆 I’m trying
The cutting procedure using the 'bump jigs' method alone made this a a must see video! Many thanks. 👍
Thanks!
Good job on video on rulers, you sold me, then of course one of them sold out lol At least I got the square
Very entertaining 🔥. Thank you for sharing the process and including all the material names. You are doing an amazing job !!
Thanks! And thanks for watching!!
Very nice tutorial. And very entertaining! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. You have some beautiful pieces of work
Thanks, Joe!!
You have a great channel. It's always an Education. Thanks for all the hard work.
I'm just starting out, having learnt so much from you, and a few other UA-cam leather workers.
Thanks for that and for watching!
Love when I find a Mascon in my notifications!!
Awe!! Thanks for that and thanks for watching!
Love the videos and you willingness to share. I admire your efficiency. And, I’ve been searching for a mug like yours for over a year. Classy.
Thanks for that!!! The mug is an antique from our family’s shop years ago.
Thanks for watching!

@@MasconLeather subscribed long, long ago. Well worth my time for all the effort of your time.
Awe! I appreciate that!!! Truly.
My memory fades occasionally, so forgive me if I ask again in a few months. 😆
I picked up the bump jigs and the arc jig. Really enjoy your videos and have learned quite a bit from them.
Perfect!!! Thanks for the support and for watching!
One day I’ll have the confidence to work as quickly and efficiently as you do… love watching you work… your sense of humor is great as well!
Thanks for that!
If it helps any, this video took 7 days (84 hours) to film, edit, and “make a wallet”.
So it’s not always as easy as it appears.
Thanks for watching!!!
@@MasconLeather oh I believe you! I made my first phone wallet and it took me a week to complete it. Now, to make another one and fix the mistakes I made in the first one :)
I want some of those 15 hole punch chisels! Who made them for you? Or, I could go fire up grandpa's old coal forge and see how much I remember lol
😆 Kevin lee made the chisels.
@@MasconLeather thanks!
Amazing skills to observe. Thank you so much for sharing this demonstration. Cheers!
Thanks for that! and thanks for watching!
I LOVE this one Artie!!! Very well done sir!
Awe !!! Thank you!
And thanks for watching!
First time landing on your video. Love it. You did a great job showing stuff quickly and providing tool guidance. You cut stuff out and use cereal boxes like I do. Thanks for great video!
Perfect!! Thanks. And thanks for watching!
Great video…nice explanation step by step…thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!!

As said before by me, by far the best leather crafting videos on UA-cam. I’ve learned so much and have been inspired to do more than I ever expected - thank you! Quick question: why do you do the stitch line on the inside instead of the outside? I’m sure you have a good reason - learn me 😉
Awe !!!! Thanks!!! I’m assuming you’re asking why I punch from inside to out ? The “in” side of stitching looks SLIGHTLY better to me. Most won’t notice from one side to the other. But…. I know most will be looking at the inside of tie wallets 90% more often than the outside (after the first month of use). So, slight prettier inside. Where you see more
@@MasconLeather a lot easier to make sure you land nice on the pockets as well. i have done the outside punch like most videos show, and a couple of times landed ugly on my pocket and it ruined my stitch line. inside is definitely better for me.
One of the best channels on UA-cam. Should have 5x as many subscribers. Some of the best tips out there. Looking forward to you sharing your edge coat/back side dressing formula some day if you happen to do so...
Awe !!! Thanks for that! And thanks for the support!!
Would love to see a video of all the different leathers you have and what shapes you like to purchase (shoulders, bellies, backs), favorite ounces to work with etc… thanks for the great content
I may include that soon! And thanks for watching!
Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already!
I think the way you work is spectacular. Congratulations!
Thanks for that!!! And thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed watching that, got it all and a League of Their Own quote to boot, well played!
😆 right?!
Thanks for watching!
Where have you been all my life?? ...well, the past 2 years I've been making leather crafts anyway? Very informative, educational, & appealing! I had fun!! Thanks!!
Awe!!! I’ve been on Instagram for 7 years…. And been asked to do UA-cams for the last 7 years. I finally started. 😆
Brother I love your style. You so make me want to try my hand at leather working. Your products are amazing
You should! and thanks!
Great video! In love all your wallets but this one is really speaking to me!
Yes !! Thanks!
Thank you. Glad you found Olivia.
😆 thanks !!
As I plan on making a living out of the trade, your videos are always helpful. You showed some tips that I use every. single. day. Thanks
Perfect!!! I’m glad I can help!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I learned something new and I appreciate that so very much!
I have always been a big fan of leather since my teens. I remember there was a Tandy shop close by where I lived. I would always wander around looking at all the tools, and smelling the leather. I never knew where to start so instead I purchased leather goods.
My trusty old dry folding knife leather sheath belt loop has a tare. I couldn't find a replacement, it has a unique design, so instead after studying the pattern I have decided to attempt to reconstruct it. I stumbled across your video. I like your style, your craft and your video editing skills.
I also love your paw tattoo, I get it. You won me as a New subber. I'm here for the ride.
Thank you for taking the "Time" to share with all of us.
Angel from The Bay (Caliboy)
Awe !!! Thanks for all of that!!
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a video that just kept my attention and found rewarding. Thanks bud
Love this !! Thanks for taking the time to comment!!
This is the perfect video. I like how you give us your little tips and secrets. Also, this format is great. Thank you
Thanks for that!!! Thanks for watching!

@@MasconLeather I am an old subscriber, learned many things from you. Just hobby leather crafter. Also, you need to know that people are watching you from the whole world, for example, I am from the Republic of Georgia :)
Perfect!!! I love it !
Beautiful Wallet!
Thank you for that! And thanks for watching!
Thank you! I learned something new and I appreciate that.
I haven't watched for a while, and this is the first time that I've heard your voice!! Threw me for a loop. I had to check to make sure I was on the right channel! Regardless, I enjoyed the video. Thank you!
😆 my voice scares me too. But, I’ve done a few now where the voice is present
Thanks for watching!!
Brooooooo! That is next level!
Thanks !!
Awesome work! Thank you! Think it’s time for arc jigs save time from looking for the just right can-jar-lid etc. 👍
Yea! The arc jigs save so much time. And thanks for the kind words!!
I really like this kind of color of leather.
Very nice work! Professional and instructional.
Thanks !! And thanks for watching!
Another great video... I look forward to your vids more than any other channel... beautiful work... :)
(and after I got your set of bump jigs, it so changed for the better the cutting out process...)
Thanks, Jeffrey!!! Thanks for the support and for watching!!
I'm very new to the craft, love your content. I see a lot of your videos that initially I think I would love to make that, then when you are done I'm so overwhelmed I think I'll never be able to get there. Of course being a disabled vet with nothing but time on my hands hopefully I pick it up quickly
Thanks for watching!! It’s all possible. It just takes patience, time and a lot of practice (and messing up…. Never be afraid to mess up.)
I love your work, you've helped me a lot ! Bless !
Thanks!! And thanks for watching!!
Uh oh. You made a clean spot on your cutting mat!
Oops
Love your videos and work..
The glue brush in the coffee, was priceless! 🤣
😆 right ?!?! The flavor was actually ok. 😉
I had fun so I subscribed
😆 thanks !!!
Pet Chloe for me. Been in Nashville for awhile nice to be home. Be careful always a pleasure to watch.
Thank you, sir!
At 20.23 did anyone see Olivia’s legs🤫 Absolutely the best videos on UA-cam!!
😆 yep…. You’re only the second to spot it. I did that to see who was paying attention! You won!
You know the guy's good when he can invite competition! Nothing to worry about thought, because what you can't give to others, is your talent Sir. Sorry for your loss, I know what it's like.
Thank you, sir! I appreciate everything you’ve done for me over the years!
Fantastic job sir as always. The video format is great.
Thanks for that!! And thanks for watching!!
@@MasconLeather Whats the best way to talk to you about a custom wallet

I’m into March 2023 (not 2022) on slots.
Thought sure Chloe had absconded Olivia and had hidden her behind the woodshed! Great video. Watched it more for your incredible craftsmanship than education. Thanks for. taking the time. Cheers.😁
😆 I thought Chloe had eaten her!!!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome vids man! Thanks for sharing! And the tattoo is cool
Thanks!! And thanks for watching!!
As always, the most entertaining content. love it :)
Thanks for that!!! And for watching!
Merci pour cette vidéo :) j'adore vous voir travailler ! j'aime votre style et ça me donne toujours des idées pour travailler les cadeaux pour ma famille 🥰🥰
English translation -Thanks for this video :) I love to see you work! I love your style and it always gives me ideas to work on gifts for my family
Thanks!!!
@@MasconLeather yes 😂
RIP sweet Rigby. Handsome boy.
Thank you. I miss him every day.
Oww man, you have a perfect coffee lid, use it :)
Great videos, I'm learning a ton here, thanks for sharing your know-how. The bump jigs opened my eyes, I've been struggling with copying patterns, this helps a lot!
I see you use a cutter knife rather than a scalpel. I started off with a large cutter, but the blade would move in its bed, and that cost me a whole project. Then I found a tiny aluminum Stanley cutter with a screw to squeeze the blade in place, and I'm loving it.
I won't lie for a split second I thought when you mentioned the tattoo of Chloe's pawprint for the empty spot by the end of the video I thought you were delivering some bad news. Then I realized that I misunderstood what you were saying. Whew! She runs around like a spry young pup! She's awesome!
Oh yeah. I should have said. Chloe is 3. Rigby was 5 when he passed suddenly of cancer. I don’t want to wait for Chloe to leave. So got it now.
@@MasconLeather Thanks for clarifying, as I thought the same thing. Dogs. When they go, it's brutal. Glad Chloe's still her awesome self.
Yep. Rigby leaving was the worst pain I’ve felt in decades. Non-dog folks simply don’t understand.
@@MasconLeather Truth.
I just discovered your awesome videos and am binge watching them all. When I heard your comment about Chloe my heart dropped to my stomach, I thought you meant she was sick. I’m overjoyed to hear she’s ok. I lost my Chloe last year, she was 12 and I know that deep,cutting pain. Peace!!! 🐶
As many have and continue to say, thank you for what you do. The videos have gone way beyond helping me get better and understand more.
As for the dogs. Man, if folks aren’t dog people it really is hard to understand. I’m in a career where I see humans in all forms of disasters and it was the sudden loss of both my Labs, Miw at 13 and Rej at 10, within three months of each other that stopped my world. To find joy in things again was a relief and delving into leatherwork about 8 months ago was just that for me.
Dogs are more vital to some of us than some realize. 100%
Thanks for watching!!!

Awe! Thanks! I’m glad I can help! And thanks for watching!
I'm machinist by trade of 30 plus years. I dreamed of leather working as a child. I had belts that were stamped out. Even leather bracelets with little Devils for me. I'd love to spend time with you and maybe go so far as saddles.
Dream and achieve the dream. Just do it! Thanks for watching!
Happy New year.thanks for the video.
Thanks!
Thanks for all the tips..I enjoyed this style of video...enjoy all your videos too though.

I don't know if you read these but I love your videos you do. Awesome work and I've learned alot. I use beeswax on my stitching chisels and my other cutting punches. You should try it they slide right out without a bone folder. Thanks again for sharing you knowledge its improved my game alot.
Thanks for that !
I like the old one. Your sample or ready made. Like the kind of patina and the size of it.
Everything is made to order. One at a time.
Badass work 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Man, in my opinion you are by far the most interesting wallet maker out there. I started making my wallets a few weeks ago just before Christmas and getting closer to my perfect personal wallet. Just curious to find out where you get your leather. I've been practicing with veg tanned and I believe I'm ready for the main event. Thanks for all you do...and AWESOME videos!!!!
Thanks, frank!! I use Horween leather 99%
@@MasconLeather do you have a Horween distributor or do you get it directly from the Horween Tannery? Also, can you recommend a place to get smaller pre-cut Horween ETD since I can’t afford the big stuff I’ve seen for sale.

What product are you using to finish the rough side of the leather? Great video by the way, the explanations are super helpful for beginner enthusiasts. I love seeing your tips and tricks for simplifying and speeding up processes.
Hey!! Funny you ask. That question comes up 1000s of times and I’m answering it in my next video. Maybe Friday.

After watching leather masters I see rolling of corners.
Great video!!! Would you share the makeup of your desktop lighting stands shown in the video? Thank you!
In my shop tour video perhaps. Coming soon

Ok…. You win. Comment of the week!!! 🥇
Great video! I’m just getting into leather working and found your videos and I’m hooked. I also see that you do metal work on your Instagram, great work. Do you sell your templates or do you have a place you source them from? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! My son (mascon_forge) does metal work.
I do not sell my designs.
You are buy far one of my favorite leather channels, and I dont even make wallets, shit Im an armor guy. I just like the way you talk and your filmography, even if you get a bit odd sometimes (barge in the coffee would explain that) 😂
😆 I’m slowly going insane.
Thanks for watching!!!
Conflicted over your video style, but you earned a subscription. I’ll let you know when I figure out if I like it or not lol.
Thanks!! Yeah…. The video editing takes roughly 40 - 50 hours. For a 10 minute video. It’s an art that’s enjoyable
@@MasconLeather I like the format and the attitude is spot on. Something rubs me weird and I can’t tell what. Will definitely keep watching. The first thing I am going to make in my new leather crafting hobby is a wallet. Right now I am rocking a 25 year old Kohl’s special. I am going with a royal blue dye just for some extra personality.
👍
Hey Artie, thanks for all of the knowledge you give out. I haven't been in leather working long (just a hobbier), but I have learned so much in a short time just by watching your videos.
Question: I saw on the website that you have a minimal edition of the Santiago without the front pocket. How would you do a card stop on the inside pocket since you wouldn't have an outside pocket to cover the stitching? Would you use glue only?
Thanks again.
Thanks !!!
Yep, I’d not do a card stop of stitches can be seen from outside.
Me subscribing after you mistook the coffee for glue
😆
Videos like this really help new leather workers, so thanks. I know it’s completely off topic but what kind of mug is that?
Thanks! I’m asked every day about that mug. It’s a vintage antique measuring cup. Lol
That Olivia is one intelectual cookie. I really like your teaching style. Simple yet great design. I may try my hand at this one. Is the pattern available?
Olivia is a master !!! Thanks for watching! And no, I don’t sell my designs. But I’m doing a video soon on how to design. So keep an eye out. And be sure to subscribe. 🤘
I have a question about the burnishing. I was lucky you did this, i wanted to smooth out the rough side for a project. Should I dye the leather before i burnish or after?
Your videos are amazing!! I’m new to leather work, I have a quick question did you burnish the back of your leather?
Thanks for watching!! Yes. I burnish it all. 😆 extra time. Extra costs. Extra blah. But worth it.
I haven't seen a video from you in over a month. I had 2 anvils made. one is 10 lbs, the other is 15 lbs, chunky buggers.
Video coming soon
