I'm really loving all the side series where we learn from all the local craftspeople. It's really the TH-cam equivalent of a living history museum and I think that's so valuable to have.
Yea your my favourite channel. Great work.
Jon Townsend and crew must be protected at all costs lol
Only reason why I enjoy history is because of stumbling across this channel. Really helped get me interested in other history as well.
Made my dad a leather wallet back in 1985. He still carries it to this day. I’m surprised it hasn’t fallen apart by now but it still looks great.
That is really neat and sweet. :)
It probably has he just fixed it because its irreplaceable
The value of some things hasn't changed.
same for mine, he had the same wallet from before my sisters were born until his death 27 later
trikami it’s not been “fixed”. It’s the same.
I took up carving leather as a kid, my great grandfather and my grandfather taught me and I ended up inheriting their tools over the year's, when I do projects I think of them
Nice
i'm 30 years old and this video made me realize why leather work is so expensive....i always blamed the material but after seeing how much time and effort it takes, i can understand it so much better
Some of it really is just overpriced however, especially if it is a known luxury brand. Often times you are paying a markup of around 20x or more (especially if they have the cheek to manufacture it in a cheaper country with lower wages when they are charging you thousands)
love these leather crafting episodes with this guy. keep them coming
Thank you again for another amazing journey in olde times learning sir!!! Spot on!
Beautiful wallet. Very nice detail. Brandon is a very versatile craftsman. We love Jon, but it is nice to sometimes see Ryan and Brandon show us some of their skills that add so much to this channel. Thanks for all that you all do.
Tanning as a word comes from the tannins that are in oak (and other plants), or at least they share the same Latin root.
I believe the etymology was reverse from that. People used barks and leaves to tan hides for thousands of years. When the chemicals responsible were discovered, they gave them the name after the process of tanning.
Completely lovely; this was an astonishing insight to details of our past I’d not considered. Well done craftsmanship! I’m running over now to sub to your channel.
Brandon does good work.
My Grandmother told me that her gradfather in Victorian times was a shoe maker and owned a store. She said he used milk on leather to soften it instead of water. I wonder if this technique was also sometimes used back in the 18th century too.
Actually milk was commonly used by leather workers especially shoe makers for cleaning stains on the leather probably since the 18thc
Beautiful craftsmanship.
Brandons voice is oddly calming and satisfying
Agreed, like a Bob Ross of leatherwork
Oh my gosh...this is beautiful. You did an outstanding job, Brandon.
Love from sweden 🇸🇪
The quality of this videos just keeps getting better and better! I really needed something relaxing and interesting like this. That wallet looks amazing!
Same reason why the leaves tend to stick around for such a long time, the tannins prevent microbes breaking down the leaf.
Many years ago as a kid I took a leather working class at a Tandy Leather store. It was pretty cool and the only real difference I can see from what I learned then and what we just saw was the knife used to deepen the cuts in the leather. By those days we had knives that would swivel, and the fancy ones had ruby blades. FYI, for those that don't know, Tandy Leather (which is still around), was part of the Tandy Corporation, which also owned Radio Shack.
I didn’t know that Tandy Leather was still in business. How would I get ahold of them. I’ve done many Tandy projects. Thank you!
There is a Tandy leather 2 blocks from my work, convenient (for me). Definitely not as many locations as years ago though.
I LOVED this finished piece, and I was fascinated to see you create it. I found the background tooling especially interesting.
Very good overviewof the project, and nice craftsmanship.
Thank you again for another amazing project.
I love leatherworking and tooling. Always refreshing to see someone else's technique up close
The background music at the very beginning is the same as one of the pieces of music in Stronghold 2 and I love it.
"Hand Crafted", nothing better, this is why I love Townsends so much.
He is using saddle stitching, it doesn't need knots in the thread. I learned it to make holsters and purses, it works very well. I'll have to twirl the needle to retain the thread, never thought of that before seeing him do it.
Thank you
Awesome vid love it
I love watching crafts being made. I would love to see more videos of this type on your channel. Long live Townsends!
This is wonderful. I’ve been binge watching all day and have learn so much. Thank y’all SO MUCH.
I love these videos. I would like to give this a try!
Brings back memories from 40 years ago. We did leather craft in 4H. i still have a couple of leather pictures i did framed in barnwood. Lots of fun! Thanks for the memories!
that stronghold 2 soundtrack cover lol
Came here to say this lol
Wow 🤩 beautiful! I admire your patience, skill and attention to detail.
This channel is so awesome. Love this episode. Cheers!
Very interesting! Thanks for this.
I can visualise some leather workers also making gaskets for steam engines as they had the tools and hole punches to hand except copper which would probably be done by metalworkers?.
This channel never ceases to inspire me to take up more crafting hobbies. Hope to be able to dedicate more time and space to things like this in the future.
You are a wonderful artist. I love watching you work.
I’ve been off and on into leather over the past few years. Recently my grandpa has had a bad turn on his health and I got all his leather working tools. I’m ready to get back into it and will definitely check out your channel!
I love watching good craftsmanship. This was very entertaining. Thank you.
Fascinating and well explained. Thank you, I really enjoyed this episode.
So very nice, love the videos. Well done.
I’ve been waiting for this! Very exciting
Always loved watching Brandon and his craft, both leatherworks and smithing, but youre still number one for us John!
Just started my first leather project with my fiancee this week. These videos are giving me ideas and I love the work.
Beautiful work, Brandon!
This is super interesting. As someone just getting into leather work I have found the last two videos very neat to watch. It's amazing how little the techniques have changed over the years, and there have only been minor changes to the technology.
Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your skills in leather and a outstanding job brother
Hey Jon, I love your videos man!
Such wonderful work! What a talent!
Wow...extraordinary craftsmanship...great job.
This was really great. Very inspiring.
Beautiful craftsmanship!
I missed this one!
Thanks for linking this in the recent horn video.
I have worked with leather a little in bookbinding and I can attest, many techniques take years to master. It's a fascinating art. Thanks for another great video!
Such a steady hand! Amazing
This craft is just beautiful to watch!
You guys should make full grain wallets to sell on the website!, I'd definitely buy one!.
Make one your own! Everyone used to have these skills, I’m sure you could do it if you actually tried!
I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THIS! "Cooking in leather" 😆
Very nice work!
Beautiful work
Great job Brandon, thanks for sharing with us, the wallet turned out great. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
I love leather, It's a wonderful material. And it has a smell that I just can't get enough of.
I have a question: would they have dyed their wallets different colours, Or would they just keep them the original colour of the leather?
Thank you for the video guys, excellent work! :)
Different people, different tastes.
I know there were leather dyes available at the time so its definitely possible, not sure how common it would have been though.
People have been dyeing leather since the Viking Age (and probably before, but that's my particular area of interest).
I expect so.
But even undyed it will darken on it's own.
@@commandrogyne So likely unofficially researched for those with more money?
I do leatherwork and absolutely loving these videos! It's wild to see what's still the same in the trade. Warclad also does videos on leatherworking in a historical fashion
incredible craftsmanship
Beautiful piece!
Breathtakingly beautiful!
I'm envious of your skill!
Beautiful workmanship! 😍
Fantastic video and a really beautiful wallet!
This is absolutely awesome!!!!
This channel never disappoints
Would love to learn this art work. It would be great information for our prepping channel. Our ancestors did this without even thinking of buying clothes for the most part. Love the channel and have been a subscriber for a long time now! Keep putting out these wonderful quality videos!
Hello:
I LOVE that you didn't go all 20th. century with a pear shader and veiner, and still came away with an exquisite looking piece of period leather art, my compliments. I've got all the tools, and I've been trying to do leather tooling for 30 years with no success, congratulations on a great job.

This vid will come in handy. Just picked up leatherworking on my hunter yesterday.
Sewing leather makes some of the best sounds!
I have no idea why I'm here or why this channel even came up in my recommended for that matter but I can't stop watching😆
Thanks. That was lovely
Amazing craftsmanship ❣
What An Outstanding video as always Brother!! Peace 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪✌✌
Great video!
I love all your videos please teach us more thank you so much for sharing your talents
Whenever I can’t sleep I watch a few of these videos, interesting, educational and relaxing enough to put you to sleep 😴
Another splendid meditation to watch.
Awesome.
Looks great
Beautiful.
Beautiful, can't wait to make one
Great job. Been a long time since I have done leather working
Thank you very much.
Looks very beautifull.
I could see an engraved brass or silver piece looking really nice to catch the leather flap.
👍👍
Nice Work!!!
Cool!
My favourite channel 👍
Lovely job Brandon.
I've been making shoes and a bag out of leather and I can't wait to apply this with some of my tools (and hopefully some of my grandpas)!
My cat was fascinated with this video. If she starts learning leatherworking I'm putting her on TH-cam. XD
I love these historical leather projects! Where would I find the patterns?
ho wow it turn out beautiful nice job
Very nice. Very old school. I use a swivel knife but your way seems much better. I’ve never seen carving with a short knife, must try it as I really don’t like swivel knives , my finger always slips forward making it a real pain to keep on line. This is the first time I’ve seen your videos, must see them all so I can learn something new. Greetings from Australia. Robert.
Put a Gucci sign on it and you can sell it for 3000$/€.
Yes, stunning piece

Love it ❤️
