    I grew up listening to that accent as a kid, its the generation of Americans I love and respect the most. I so enjoyed that video, thank you :) in my 50s and just getting into leathercraft.

      Me too, I’m also in my mid 50’s and just beginning. I’m hoping to make gifts for special people in my life and make some things for myself. But one never knows where and why the Lord is leading to leather crafting.

    Man, this takes me back to the 70's! My grandfather and I would go to the Tandy Leather store in Pennsauken, NJ and we'd get all this stuff and make belts and other cool leather works. Now I want to do it again!

    I started tooling leather as a teen, back over 50 years ago. Intended to never stop this awesome hobby, but life got in the way, and I junda focused on a career and raising a family. Now that I'm retired, it's time to dif out the tools and pick up that swivel knife again! Thought Id watch a few videos and catch up on what I've forgotten iver the past 40 yearrs. Used to visit Tandy in Oklahoma City, now I'm using the Tulsa store. The people are still as awesome as usual, I was kinda shocked at how they prices on everything has gone up, but what hasn't over 40 years , tight, lol?

    I watched 4 other videos on tooling leather and learned less than nothing, what I had learned nearly 30 years ago kind of became fuzzy and unclear. After watching this video it’s now crystal clear. Thank you. You’re a true artist in the purest sense of the word.
    You explained each stamp and tool and I’m confident that I can do a test piece well enough to move onto embossing my daughter’s mounted archery arrow quiver.

    I took out my kit here and wanted to get started just messing around. One thing I've noticed is that when I tool the leather with any of the different tools, the impression left isn't nearly as dark or rich, or noticeable. I've tried hitting it a bit harder, a bit softer, but haven't had any success reproducing the effect. Might the leather have been wetted too much or too little in the casing process? Also of note is the mallet is a very light, wooden piece.
