CONGRATS to Karen McCoy!! You were chosen as the winner and can see your name being drawn on my instagram channel. Thank you to everyone who participated! I have gained some good insight from this and have some videos planned for the future. Thank you everyone! -Bryan
I love your craftsmanship! Excellent video. I like the short version to watch, however, if I should decide to make an item, I would want a video that shows step by step! Your videos show just how much detail you do to make your leather items! Thanks for sharing!
Penny you will have to give me an example of a bag. I wouldn’t mind making a roll top or leather backpack. I may try a long tutorial at some point. Thanks for the input!
@@SomertonLeather i was thinking about a brief-case style, maybe a "refined" type, not like Saddleback (there are plenty already), more like Carl friedrik style. Have a good day :)
It would help beginners if you explained the prepuse of what you’re doing.....like using the wood to hold the leather as you remove the chisel......tips and tricks to make a nice project.....I like your down home charm
Since I am just learning about the world of handmade leather products it would be great to have details on how to get started in this hobby or as a business. By trade I am a Graphic Designer with over 25 years in the printing industry and personalizing products. Your products are the type items that would add a unique and high quality product to my Personalized Gift'n Boutique. I'd even pay for a zoom class if offered just to learn the basics as to how to get started. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this craft.
Thank you! I'm going to put together a beginner series soon. I'm not sure about the business side of things yet, but maybe one day I can do small batches of items.
Excellent idea! I was thinking about doing giveaways too but I have yet to make another video By the way, do you get your leather from Rmleathersupply too? Do you have a favorite type of leather? I’ve been using Minerva, Pueblo and Buttero but I am considering switching to Wickett and Craig (because it’s good quality and far cheaper than Minerva / Buttero...about $10/sqfoot if you buy a hide). However, it feels a bit like cardboard, especially their English Bridle. Any thoughts on Wickett and Craig?
It takes me hours to get a video together, you keep making them too! I mostly buy from RMleathersupply as well. I'm not sold on a favorite type yet but Buttero ranks high and Alran Chevre Sully is thus far my favorite liner but does stretch easily. I like Wickett and Craig but I find it tricky deciding what to buy. I just got 2-3oz black bridle in, split and inside re finished. It's not as ridged as buttero and has been tricky to work with as its almost too soft without a liner or multiple layers. Their skirting around 3oz 1-1.2mm has been amazing. Very dry, but takes a great patina and does not scratch as easily as Buttero. I have made a ton of stuff with their skirting in different weights. Watch for the skirting double shoulders on sale if you are on their email list.

Maybe like you last video with a voice over explaining your decisions
Thank you, great idea!
Nice idea! I definetly prefer longer more in depth videos. I really would like to see a men's bag
