Just stopped into your shop yesterday and bought this template and supplies to make two of them... oh AND I had the pure pleasure of meeting your wonderful better half... catch you next time I’m running I-35!!!
Just getting started here... I’m going back to Over The Road truck driving and looking at Leathercraft as something I might be able to do in the Sleeper during my downtime... starting to put together my Christmas list of tools now... lol ... not sure I can jump into the Barry King or Ron’s but would like to get quality tools.
@@macdaddy9344 theres plenty of great tools out there. Much like mechanic's tools, nobody starts with the Snap-On brand. We all work our way up as we improve and excel.
Thanks for providing quality demonstrations of this craft. We appreciate your skill in leather and instruction. We appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience. My sister and I have invested in the craft and are enjoying it and providing various leather goods for family and friends. We are also selling a few products as we increase in skill ourselves. We understand there is a diverse crowd that you are reaching. With that being said, we only made it through about half of this particular video due to some language that was used. My sister and I are surely in a minority in this area and do not wish to upset you or anyone else but hope to give food for thought to consider. We are young, 16 and 20. And we are ladies. We are sure that there are other young ladies and young men in your audience that share in this thought. We do hope this is appropriately worded. It is difficult to communicate demeanor by text. Thank you again for the quality content and helpful attitude. It is a great help and blessing to us and we are sure to many others.
@@gulfsniper91 ...It is very good of you to take the time to review and consider it. We certainly do not want to discourage, upset or frustrate you or anyone else. Your skill is very valuable to us and many others. We apprecieate the time you put into these videos. Thank you for being willing to do so. We recognize certain words as profane that others today may not. Thank you again for being considerate in this area. Your videos are well done and very helpful. We like the fact that there is no music in the background as well. We enjoy watching your videos.
I think it was 'suckers'. I read the comment almost before i played the video and found it intriguing so i listened intently and this was the only word one could object to (i know i am wrong, but generally speaking and keeping in view the usual sensibilities of post modern crowd. I also know my use of 'crowd' might not be very 'appropriate' and the reservation might not be from them, the comment sound more sort of Amish or Victorian Brits than University students. Anyhow one keeps learning till one dies. One thing you do, and that has been pointed out very well in the comment, is that you teach a skill, free of cost, and that compensates for any linguistic tyranny you might or might not have committed. So more power and keep going.
Hey Aaron, have a question for you... I used some shackles to hold the corners like you did, but they don’t lay in the corners (they seem too big). They’re 3/16 shackles. Any thoughts on that?
Over all, I like your videos. They are well lit, camera angle and audio are good (thankfully without distracting music), and the instructions are clear. About the only way I can see to improve them are : 1) have a materials list at the beginning, and 2) use an NLE (non-linear editing) program to edit the pauses and other glitches out of the videos. While most of the pauses aren't that big an issue, some of them reduce the professionalism of your tutorial. For example, in one of your videos your pizza arrived while you were working. You forgot to pause the camera when you went to tell your wife the food had arrived. So, we were left watching a static screen while you took care of you needed to do. If it helps, think about it this way : strictly speaking, like sanding and burnishing the edges, tweaking the videos isn't absolutely necessary. BUT, like burnishing the edges, doing so can make a WORLD of difference in the perceived value of the end product. Assuming you're using a digital camera, rather than on that records to tape, it is very easy to open your video file, and edit it. Since there are a number of free, open source NLEs out there, you don't have to spend any money at all to do this. All you have to do is invest the time to learn how to use the software. In my experience, these programs are fairly easy to learn how to use for the basic editing you need. So, it shouldn't take long to get the hang of it. I've appended a like to an article about some of the better NLEs. Good luck, and keep up the good work. www.digitaltrends.com/computing/best-free-video-editing-apps/
LJ Stevens we appreciate your input. We have some awesome video editing software but we don't know how to use it. It's not that we don't care about video quality but we are here to teach leathercraft. Those who know me know the quality of my work and several have written to say how the pizza incident was just fun because they know that's exactly us. In the future I hope to have the time and ability to make videos more professional but until then I'm just a barebones teacher trying to spread what I know to those who would like to learn from it.
Just to be certain that we are on the same page, to me, editing out the pauses is a TWEAK, not a vital part of your presentation. You have absolutely NAILED ALL of the truly important elements, those being content, presentation, camera angle and focus, lighting, and audio, Editing out the pauses is simply a tweak that would take your videos up a notch in much the same manner that sanding and burnishing edges does. NEITHER the editing nor the burnishing are absolute necessities for turning out a good, solid product. But both are elements that add to the professionalism and perceived value of the finished product; especially to those of us who know what is involved in both leathercraft and video production.
Hey just a heads up, but i just noticed Tandy leather is posting your videos without even crediting you in their description. Not sure if you have any affiliation with them

Great video! I look forward to turning my scraps into trays.

The jeweller's ruge is a handy guide 👌
They are really nice.

What size shackle? Didn’t hear you say. Maybe I missed it.
Neat project. Thanks.

What are you talking about? What was offensive? I've watched this several times and can't figure out what you are talking about...

Absurd comment
The shackle is very cool
What kind of leather are you using, and where can one order it, for the bowl body? Thank.

Thank you for sharing.
What size shackles?
@@jmoney6652 I believe these are 3/4"
You must be a Marine. Most good Marines are.
What contact glue are you using ?
We have our own brand produced for us in St Louis. It's available on our website Www.makersleathersupply.com
I looked and your site does not have the shackles for sale. What size are you using? Thank you
Sometimes Tractor Supply has those particular shackles
