Nice video you should give more information on the leather you use and the weight of the leather so your viewers know what is what.

What can you tell me about those scissors? You should do a review of your leatherworking tools, Not just the basic stuff but share with us some of the good tools that you use in your videos. Thanks.

Hello Friend! work on the pattern. this arrangement of natural skin on an alligator looks too thick! believe me, your ends can be much smaller in a vertical wallet

[@henriquesantos.official]

What is the name of this tool that heats up and makes the edge smooth?

[@slpceline]

It's called a fileteuse, or edge creaser. The most common (and super expensive!) brand is Regad :)
