    Even with no music, just the sound of the leather is enough for me!! Love your creations.

      I did appreciate the lack of music. Most channels think it's a good idea. I say let the video speak for itself.

    I genuinely love the ASMR style video design you have for these makes. Watching people work with their hands always put me into a trance as a kid, especially when watching my grandfather do wood working. And this work is gorgeous

      Same! My grandmother used to do a lot of textile work; manipulating all the different fabrics to make all sorts of stuff. Video hits close to home.

      In 5th grade my school had woodworking classes, and it was my favorite subject. But the education reform that summer took it out of the curriculum. Because it was too dangerous, and they didn’t trust kids not to drill holes in their hands. We had pretty dangerous machines there, with the teacher reminding us every class about kids who lost their fingers.
      Anyway, I wish I had a leather working class too. This stuff looks sick.
      P.S. I did make a very cool stool that year. That I still have to this day.

      @AlexanderMason1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +74

      This is a pull up waxed leather. The heat melts excess wax and gets rid of marks, wax residue and very slight scratches. It won’t work for normal leather and has its limits. The leather he is using isn’t blemished or bad in any way. It’s just a small scuff.

    • @AJapaneseDream
      @AJapaneseDream 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      @Alexander Mason thanks so much for the detailed explanation. Was wondering if this was a special leather or not

    • @silvermediastudio
      @silvermediastudio 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Really just softening the wax that's in the leather and smoothing it.

    • @speedyrooter7707
      @speedyrooter7707 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It would be nice if he specifically noted the type, weight and temper of leather he used for each project. Unless I missed it. It looks to be oil-tanned 3-5 weight with stiff temperament. Sound right? Wonder where he gets his leather. I’m new to this craft but his videos have me purchasing some stuff to get started. Just stepped foot in a Tandy Leather store a few hours ago and was overwhelmed with options. Also pricing was intimidating. I’m used to woodworking.
