The so-called snake/ alligator leather boots are just top grain leather ( topmost layer removed...top grain is a misnomer) with designs carved in...it's almost impossible to use alligator skin to fold, let alone make uppers for boots..there must be few genuine ones out there priced way beyond cow hide boots.

Thank you for the tips! I’m working with faux leather for starters to make sure I can do the project for the most part before putting money towards real leather and I’m looking into starting my own side business.

Dude, I’ve been watching your videos since you started making them. I’m a self-employed woodworker, but I’ve always dabbled with leatherworking and greatly enjoy the skills and materials that cross over both crafts. And it was so easy to get started because I already had many of the tools required… Because they are used so much in woodworking.I also greatly enjoy making my own knives, pricking irons, and other cutting tools… Which is helpful in saving money and it’s also a load of fun! I guess those years of machinist courses and knife making paid off for something useful! It’s been a long time coming to get a real professional leather crafting channel on KZfaq… Who is so consistent when showing the process and materials accurately. Your video qualities are outstanding… And I greatly enjoy them! I could get lost in leatherworking and completely forget my woodworking responsibilities! That’s how much fun this is! Keep it up. It’s awesome!!!

How you plan on finishing your edges should also be a factor when choosing the type of leather. I used all veg tanned (when first starting) so I could burnish the edges. Now that I have the tools and edge paints, I'm able to use more chrome tanned. Just a extra tid bit for anyone looking at purchasing leather.

Great informative video. Could you go into more detail on thicknesses. I raise cattle and my butcher told me hide aren't worth anything, 10-12 years ago they were worth $100 each. I found an Amish gentleman that tans hides and he asked me what I wanted to do with it I told him tool pouch and he spit accordingly but gave me little info/feed back. I got one steer hide done for $200 now I have to actually do something with it. Your channel and a few others have given me some direction. This sounds like a bit of a ramble but I hope you get the point. Thanks for your work

Hi (thanks a lot for all your videos; I've been learning a lot from you and your work). Now I'm beggining to buy the leather for my first items (you would love the leather market "La Luz" in León -mexican city in the state of Guanajuato-, our leather capital), and I was exclusively looking for veg tan since I had read that chrome tanned leather does not age well, diminishes the quality of the product, and requieres a far more polluting tanning process (and also it has no memory, so it can't be stamped by punch nor shaped). This is the first time I heard a leathercrafter directly saying that chrome leather is also a good option for leather handmade goods, so I will have to reconsider and research more about this. Thanks, master.
