This man makes me feel like i can achieve anything.
Thank you, we'll make sure to pass this along to Chuck!
Same
IKR?? Tony Robbins WHO??? This guy could motivate me to build an entire house by myself, ... and I'm disabled. lol Chuck is awesome! FULL ENERGY AND POSITIVITY!
right ?!
Could not agree more. I need more of this attitude in life. Also such clear and concise explanation. This dude would be a great teacher no matter the subject.
Dude you're like the Bob Ross of leatherworking and I love it.
More like the Billy Mays
@@maxmartin274 he's definitely a bit of both
The beginning of the video is kind of dark but once things get started you are sooo awesome!!! I had gotten a few of the mystery bracelets in a kit thinking I could follow the directions to make them for my grandkids but when I saw the directions I was really confussed!!! Thank you for the great video that goes slow and is easy yo understand. 👍❤
A caffeinated Bob Ross
@@maxmartin274 😂 exaaactly.... "but wait, there's more!!" RIP Billy.
Can you imagine him as a teacher? He probably has a teaching background. So much fire in his belly.
This mans enthusiasm for his craft alone makes me want to try leatherworking, which is why im watching this video XD
Saw him at Dragon Con this year...it's all true in real life... I am starting leather crafting because of Chuck
I was thinking the same thing, good teacher
His enthusiasm is contagious, fersure. He's really high energy!
Right~? It's infectious~ :D
For some reason it puts me off
im not used to this level of positivity
Damn... what type of household did you grow up in?
@F man is wack
Oi, Sass Mate
His enthusiasm is contagious, and not helping my self quarantine.
@@dylano4352 me too
"I love doing it and I'm happy with the outcome" is a wonderful mindset to have for any craft
I've only watched 30 seconds of this so far and I already love this man.
I’m a 13 year old girl who is interested in leathercrafting. This channel is so informative
I learned more information in this 25 minutes than I learned in 3 years of high school.
And I finally understand the weight / thickness relation. I so often hear "it's a five-ounce leather", and think "What the blank does that even mean?"
I'm German, we don't use the weight. We say "It's 2mm thick".
So a big thank you, for teaching the thickness.
That means the leather I have left over is about 4 ounces... And I can make a small satchel out of it, if I line it with some lighter leather.
And I even have the tools needed for a basic lacing technique.
You really know how to motivate people to go do leather projects.
i wanna be friends with this dude. he’s so positive i can’t help but smile honestly
Chuck Dorsett is the Bob Ross of Leathercrafting. The world needs more people that are this positive!
Can I hire this guy to follow me around as my own personal hype man? I'd accomplish so much!
Dang. This guy just made me want to quit my job and go into the leatherwork business.....and all I wanted to do was learn how to repair my belt. 🤦🏼♂️
SAME!!!
I had the great pleasure of meeting and getting instruction from Chuck several years ago when he worked at a store local to me. I learned a lot from him and caught his passion for leather work. Thank you, Chuck. Without you I don't believe I'd be where I am at today.
You make me want to be a better person.
Lol.
5min in and I’m hooked...This guy is 👍
Lately I've been feeling drawn to start leathercrafting, but too nervous to actually take that first step and jump in. Words cannot express how excited I am to start after watching this! This video was incredibly informative, encouraging, and inspiring to the imagination with much wisdom about both leathercrafting and the artistic process. I particularly love how you expressed that even folks who don't feel like "creative types" have creativity within just waiting to be unleashed, such an important message!
Clicked by mistake .....but he has a love of his craft that deserves a sub and like.
Chuck is an inspiration. Novice leather worker myself, but man I watch all of Weaver's videos and every time I get inspired to push my own limits just based off of this man's attitude. He stops himself from "rolling" but I honestly love that about him. The man loves what he does. Keep the videos coming!
Couldn't agree more. I just bought all equipment needed to start with leatherworking yesterday, because of this guy.
I’m a 26 year old wedding photographer - here I am looking up how to make things from the coolest guy I’ve ever seen 😂
Damn. What an amazing guy. Can tell he really loves his craft, and it's so contagious! I've gotten into leatherworking myself lately and this guy makes me feel like I could do it for a living.
Fitz he made that suit of armor there in the back of the studio shop. He is amazing
The Best Teacher in the world.
Honest,charming,good,professional & dedicated.
No TH-cam channel provides free training like this.i saw every video.
Some so-called people selling Their video courses.they’re worse than this.
The best free Leather course.❤️❤️❤️
"Even, say, maybe a gargoyle!" Hahaha. Great video!
Most enthusiastic leatherworker. I love this. He def loves his work.
This TH-cam channel makes me feel motivated about life
Seriously. I need to come watch these videos when I'm feeling down. You can't help but get excited!
I love Chuck! The camera loves this guy!
i worked as a machinist for 6 years now, its a good and useful profession and a decent living and though i didnt find it boring i just never had a real passion for it, i realized that a few months back when i first saw your video which got me into leathercrafting, and even though i can not do it full time (not yet at least), even as a hobby it really filled this hole i had in my heart for years, so i just wanted to say Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and introducing me to this beautiful craft. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your comment! We're so glad you found our channel and excited that you gave leathercrafting a chance and that you're loving it!
Chuck Dorsett's enthusiasm is infectious! I want to do leather 24-7... who needs sleep, anyway?
I'm a creative type. But watching another creative type bring such positivity to people that don't realize how creative they can be is definitely a treat.
He's so fired up it's making me anxious
This man is the Bob Ross of leather!
The energy, information that clearly wants to be passed on & sheer love of the craft comes off so nicely.
Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching.
Dang, he's more bubbly than a seltzer tablet in a hot spring
I found this video to be very helpful for a beginner trying to absorb as much info as possible. Really good info. He delved into a bit on each thing I really wanted to know. Leather thicknesses, rivets, ect. Good vid.
After this video, I have a renewed appreciation for leather. I will never see leather craft items the same. Informative video -- thank you!
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome! :)
I really like the energy he brings to his tutorial, it makes what he has to say easy to listen to.
You, sir, are an inspiration.
I've been waffling around about getting into leatherworking for years, convinced it had to be hard, expensive, and time-consuming. Then I finally sat down and watched this... I am so INSPIRED right now; and I feel REALLY confident about getting started! Thank you so much for making this; you are a fantastic teacher, and I can't wait to finally create my first projects!
Thank you LeAnn - I hope you try it and I hope you love it!
all that energy... oh my gosh, THANK YOU!
I am a wood worker and your vid was most informative, fast , clear and effective
Thank you so much!
I bought a bunch of 14oz veg for black powder holsters,belts,+ accessories.With this guys help,someday my creations might be attractive instead of just functional.
Thank you. I can't say how much your videos boost my confidence. You make it easy.
What a great teacher. I was immersed the whole time in what he was saying
Thank you!
I just love your enthusiasm, Chuck. So much awesome information :)
Was looking for a hobby. Most I was looking at needs large space and expensive equipment. How this guy talks about it I think I found my hobby, and it's easy enough my 8 year old can do it with me.
Still pricey to get the tools needed. Not so much the supplies such as thread, dyes, and leather, but the tools to do the work.
Go hunting at flea markets. No shoemaker ever buys a new hammer or pliers....
Thank you for doing this video. I love the way you started simple then tied it all together at the end. A fantastic method for showing people that they can do anything with just a few basic techniques.
World needs more men like Chuck.
i'm 72 and wanting to start working with leather. Watching a lot of videos. This is a good one.
Thank you, Ken!
This whole thing sounds like one of those midday tv adverts
I love his energy
Chuck, you make this stuff look so dag gum simple. I tried your sewing technique and floundered...for a minute. With a few minutes of practice though, I was on my way. Thank you sir, you are quite the instructor...Kudos.
You did a great job on that video Chuck. I really enjoyed it and was watching it while I laced a holster. Keep up the good work!
I've watched other leatherworking videos but this these are by far the best, most informative and easy to follow videos. Chuck makes me excited to create!
I’m 20 seconds in and I love this man.
I love his energy, makes me really want to try leathercrafting.
1.5 minutes in, ans I'm already STOKED!!! Thank you, Sir!
Great job! I learn something new with every movie. Thank you.
This guy is the best. My first leather piece turned out perfect because of his videos.
Thank you so much for watching!
I love the positivity and attitude of this guy.
Thank you Chuck for a great and reassuring introduction to an amazing hand craft.
You're a great motivational teacher, you hit the nail right on the head with all of your opinions.
I love your enthusiasm, Chuck, the way you teach is inspiring. I inherited my grandfathers' leatherworking tools, and I'm sad to say I've only used them a few times. But I feel a real pull to use them and turn out a number of projects I've pondered now that I've found your channel. The techniques you use to get things done, you can tell you've done this for YEARS. It's nice to see a master at work. Thank you, sir. I'll be combing through your channel for more inspiration!
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!
Especially in this time, your positivity is a breath of clean air. Very informational. So glad i found you. I am good for the next few years with all your video’s. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make these vlogs. 💕
Thank you, Ellen!
Chuck, I want to thank you for these videos. Your lessons are by far the most detailed and informative I've found on the web.All of us folks that are new to the craft are totally in your debt. Please keep Rocking us with your enthusiasm doing new projects.
Thank you so much, Dan! That means a lot and I'm so happy the videos have been helpful!
Your energy and enthusiasm are wonderful. Thank you for the inspiration. I am just starting out and feel like I can do it.
This channel is by far the most useful I have come across in regards to learning leather-crafting. This man is so thorough in explaining every step and each tool used during the process. This is the perfect channel for anyone trying to learn.
Thank you so much, Caitlin!
Thanks for all the videos and responses!
The best teaching I ever seen on youtube.
Thank you, Nomi!
Billy Mays' long lost brother... what a legend this guy is
I always been in awe of detailed leather work, it's so nice and beautiful. After watching this introduction and a lot of your tutorials, I have found enough courage to work with leather myself. It's absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Thanks, Chuck! Great energy and passion, lots of good information.
Very inspirational, and i love your energy. You can tell just how much you love what you do.
I wish I loved anything as much as this guy loves leather
Omg, what an amazing video! You answered so many questions I had and then some. Love the excitement and passion, it’s contagious. Thank you for this gift, sir!
I now believe I can achieve anything lol I need him to be my life coach! His enthusiasm is infectious...wow!
It's nice to show people your Technique and have all of the right tools witch I have thousands of dollars worth of tools but get to the basics and stop the BS and that's what Weaver does get to the point and show the product and watch it while it's being done that's what a lot of people need and this is great. I've been doing this for 40-plus years and it's nice to have somebody showing everyone how to do videos. He likes to pet his self on the back quite often but he does a remarkable job at the same time. Believe me it doesn't come without mistakes on occasion as well but when you're very experienced you learn to not make mistakes because that sometimes is costly and time-consuming.
I’ve been doing leather work for 5-6 years, and I really like this video. I’d word things differently though. Good tools aren’t cheap. But, they’re tremendous value. I’ve got some punches, pricking irons I think is the real name, that I’ve pounded like crazy. Still good. Still sharp. Not the cheapest but, I’ve got my money’s worth. I’ve spent a LOT of money on leather working tools. Even though I’m solidly an amateur still, I’ve made dozens of projects. The tools I regret were the cheap ones I had to replace. I like oil tanned leather, as I don’t like dealing with dyes. Personal preference there. I’ve burned through many of those green cutting/punching pads. They don’t last well for me. My kitchen table bears witness. This week, I added another hundred stitching cuts to the table top. It’s soft. At least it doesn’t damage my tools! 🤗 my wife views this differently! 🥺 I love the simple beauty of leather and stitches. Not into spots or carving or stamping very much. Just a little. Leatherwork is awesome for having options no matter your style. Anyone considering it as a hobby, I say jump in. Make some pouches, belts, bags. I just made a 12”x7” (finished dimensions) fold over zipper bag with a 1.5” gusset. Not perfect but the best stitching I’ve done to date. Leather work is learned in a day but takes a lifetime to master. Another thing I love. Thanks for the encouraging video!
Chuck, I have been watching your videos on and off since I was fourteen and dreaming of making my own tack for my horses. I am now 21 and just ordered the tools and leather for my first project on a whim. I’m super excited to see where this takes me :)
Loved the tutorial Chuck, your enthusiasm is infectious.....! I cant wait to get started.....!!! Greetings from Wales, U.K.
Great teacher and very confident. You have given me a lot of enthusiasm.
This guy is awesome. I love his enthusiasm. Don’t change a thing!!!!
Thank you, Justin!
i love his energy
I LOVE VegTan TOO!
Bros... this guy needs his own show!
incredible enthusiasm and positivity...makes me ready to face my day at work, as well as want to make some leather!
thank you for such a great attitude
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video and your infectious enthusiasm. I'm going to try my hand at this.
this is the happiest man on earth and he has rekindled my faith in humanity
Can I just say this man and this channel are an absolute godsend and thank you guys so So much for your content! I'm in the research phase of being a beginner and this is so encouraging to watch so thank you!! 💛💛💛
Thank you, Maggie - so glad the videos are helpful!
Amazing presentation thank you!
Dudes a hell of a salesman AND a teacher. I'm hoping on his site!
This man is the definition of "hell-bent for leather."
I guess I should have waited for you to finish explaining. You answered my questions.
This is amazing, I hope to get into leatherworking soon, thank you!
I found this by accident and want to take up leatherworking now. This guy is straight up motivated!
Had been looking for good leathercraft tutorials for awhile and just ran across these. Man this guy is great happened to watch a mystery braid video of somebody else before and then watched his. The difference is vast between the two videos, I am now not just lightly thinking about starting to learn I am shopping around for the tools and anticipate getting started on making items for friends and family as soon as I can. Look forward to watching and learning as much as I can from you.
Thank you so much, that means a lot! Glad you found our videos and that they've been helpful!
What an amazing teacher.! Best 25 min tutorial,(felt like less than 5min) I'LL just have to watch it again.
Thank you so much, Kevin! That means a lot!!
This is the " Willie Mays' of Leather !! I love his energy & ambition for his work....
What a truly passionate man. I am very excited to start my leatherworking journey
another great video. i added more notes to my leatherworking notes. thank you for all of the great info.
