just wondering a few things. how come you did not skive the edges of the pockets more so that the edge is more even and not so thick, especially the transition between pockets? doing so would make the edge nicer for edge paint. Why not use a softer hammer on your irons? they will mushroom out with a metal hammer? Also you may want to work on your pricking iron angles, your back side of your stitch is very uneven leading to a very wonky stitch.

Ooooh, shiny! I’ve now bought three shells, & I haven’t plucked up the courage to actually cut into them & make something🤦🏽‍♀️ Great work ❤

@@WillHodges I think I would be inclined to pick up a variety of smaller things made out of high quality leathers. Bits and bobs like notepad covers (maybe with embossed initials), hard formed pen cases to stop ink leaks, (sun)glasses cases and watch straps or travel cases to protect them

Hi Will, I’ve never understood the rationale by some people to come here and shit on others craftsmanship. Good on you for continuing to push yourself and put yourself out there. Best wishes from Canada

HI Will, you have top leather, top tools, great machines but still after those years i dont see the synergy. I really wish you best.but what are you showing in this video? Any education? Any advise? Any artisian? No. Iam sorry. Dont take this wrong, You strong mate.

@grabtharandhishammer8251 2 ай бұрын

hes showing you the process of how he makes something. That's it. Why should he have to break everything down to a tutorial for you? If you want those go find them, or maybe you could put up a video of you making something.

LIKE THE MONICAL OR MAGNIFYING GLASS THEY USED WAY BACK WHEN. I HAVE SEEN MAGNIFYING GLASS ENCASED IN A LEATHER SHEATH IF YOU WILL INSTEAD OF METAL. SO A LEATHER FIGURE EIGHT OR DOG BONED SHAPE THAT HOLDS THE GLASS MAGNIFIER. WITH A STRING TO PUT AROUND YOUR NECK FOR THOSE TRIPS TO THE MARKET WHIP IT OUT AND READ THE RIDICULUS PRINT. THE HAMMER WITH THE TAIL FOR POUNDING DOWN THE STITCHING. CURIOUS AS TO THE BRANDING OF IT. CHEERS.
