This has to be the Best video yet IMO. For many reasons, but most of all, the
nonsensical approach you have with the overall process. As a still new-bee, I can’t begin to tell you how much I pickup from you!
Thank You sir! 👍👍

Thanks for that!!!! (Pinned)

Hello, I am curious about this type of craft, but I love it every day. I have to thank you for the tips you post in your videos, it helped me a lot to overcome some barriers you are the best I never get tired of watching the videos, it makes me feel that it is easy... thank you very much for sharing.

[@jonmullins8460]

This is the first video I've found that makes sense to me. I've never worked with leather and want to make a gift for a friend, but every other video I found is just someone making a piece with absolutely no explanation. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything.

[@MasconLeather]

Awe !!! Thanks for that, Jon!!! And thanks for watching!

Perhaps to save yourself having to answer the same questions all the time, type up a tool list with affiliate links and paste it into each video description.
Or be first to comment and pin the tool list to top of comments.
Just a thought.

I’ve had every link in every video description. And even say “in description” every time. 100s of times. No one reads the description. 😆

[@earlelzy7243]

After all the videos of yours that I've watched, get ideas and inspiration to do some of your projects. I like the bump jigs and the way you measure once for patterns. I still have to practice that technique to get it down. This video helps a lot. I want to show you a lil love by buying something from you. Some of the things you have I made for myself like the anvil, I used two 4.5lbs weights stacked, on top of a caster I made. I made a rougher from a flat screwdriver and the bump jigs, square and straight from aluminum bars. I'm on a budget and my workspace is small but I will buy something from you.
