I've watched a lot (and I mean a lot) of videos on making leather bowls, and yours is the simplest and the most elegant. There are so many possibilities here. Thanks.
sometimes the simplest things are the best. watching you is a lot of fun. no chatter, no puffery. just show work. and the result speaks for itself. subscribed to your channel. greetings from good old vienna, Europe
4:13 - just curious - would you call this process "burnishing" ? I'm a woodworker but I'm starting to work with leather, more and more. Does the word "burnishing" still apply to leather?
You got it! Using a wood slicker or a piece of canvas is a great way to finish edges. A good process is edge bevel > sand > burnish. Tokenole is a great product to try
Hey Josh, I’ve been subbed for a while. Big fan of the skating, van life, & vlogs. Question: where was that kickflip clip from your older intros taken? Not like exactly where but what state/town? It was beautiful. Thanks ☺️
What is that machine at the end. Looks like an old printing press. Do you have any ideas how to do a stamp without that machine you have. I'm trying to clamp it, not really great results.
This was a brilliantly clever way to do something with readily available items on the cheap.

I am extremely impressed with how classy that turned out.
Awesome work loved how you cut it using the bowl turning !
Appreciate it!

Amazing man! Respect❤️🤙
cool = quick and easy = perfect ;-)
Awesome work. 😃👏👏 Gonna do one for myself. What is the leather thickness?
I love it!
Thank you!
When you stamp at the end, do you have to get the center of the leather wet again? Or is it still pliable from the original soak?
What would you call that belt thing you used to hold the leather down?
Try searching for tie down or tie down strap.

Sorry for the late reply! That was shot in Yosemite National park.

It’s a 1 ton arbor press!
I’ve seen some people use a handle and a hammer.
Any advice on why when I tried this the leather creased? Did I cut to small or a piece or to big?
Very nice man!
Nice! 🌀💚🌀
How thick is this leather?
Used 7/8 oz for this one 👌🏻
How long should it be left in the water? And how long left on the bowl to take shape? Awesome video! I want to make one for a friend for her bday.
Appreciate it!
About 10 min in water and I leave it on the bowl for at least an hour then I remove it and let it dry.
Hope that helps!
Beautiful
Great work. Is that 8-9oz leather?
Thanks! It’s 7/8 oz Herman oak
I can't imagine working with leather!
Lol
Tyy
Very good...
Next time you can use the inside of the bowl to get the shape
Bt then you can’t do any clamp down for the perfect circle shape
Beautiful
