I am new to leather tooling but I have I found your tuts very helpful in learning the basics and then finding my own style...I am a artist/designer that fell in love with the artistry and craftsmanship behind leather tooling. It is another art form that speaks to me...Thank you for your down to earth approach and willingness to share your craft with us all...

Hi Don, just discovered you on You Tube today. Some great leatherwork tutorials, especially the ones on dyeing. Really like your pancake knife sheath too. They're not really used here in the UK, so maybe I can corner the market! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. I love the detail you go into and the handy little tips based on personal experience. Thank you.

DON you are one of the best out there. i have a question though... i made a belt and first i oil the belt like you showed in your video... than i use brown stain some antic and dark brown diy and finally i used tan kote, and for the edge i used gum tragacant, but i notice that on the belt are starting to appear some discoloration i mean that in some spot and on the edges the Diy is almost gone and the leather is not looking nice anymore. the belt is only 5-6 month old what do i doing wrong?# sorry for my english i leave in Berlin Germany...and thank you again

@goblin2ten 4 жыл бұрын

So I dyed the leather how you did but when I went to oil with vegetable oil my tooling is really dark. I’m assuming because it’s wet from the oil inside. But how long does it take to go back to normal so my tooling isnt dark again?

Interested in selling your singer sewing machine when you trade up? Enjoy watching your channel. I have Parkinson’s from agent Orange in Vietnam. I took a year and a half - two years off from leather work. My PD wreaks the quality of my work, but I do it for fun and give everything away. I have a Cowboy 4500 like Bruce Cheney. Also have a Singer 15-91. Need something for lighter projects.

+TheLaramieP I am not familiar with those chisels since I use an overstitch wheel and awl to handstich but I'm sure any spacing would be fine... I would lean towards the closer of what spacing you have since a tighter stitch looks cleaner.

I had a Juki heavy duty that I bought new, and it was nothing but a headache. Paid like $1600 US for it, and it was in the shop more that it was out. I wouldn't pick up the tread after a short while of use. The shop where I bought it told me "It's because it's Japanese and the tolerances were really close" Yeah, I bought that.... NOT! I wouldn't recommend it.
