I find tutorials by Weather the best in that the instructors are well prepared and well versed in the presentation. Joe and Chuck are the best I have seen. The best part of this tutorial is in the illustration of the different tools and how they are best used. A big thank you, again...from Alberta, Canada.

I was a Wheelwright Apprentice back in the 60’s and yes I do remember the 60’s, but the Wheelwright I worked for believed that we should know how to do all the jobs for Wagons. So we made out bolts, rims, planks to include all of the harness. I can still hear him saying “Start the cuts deep then go shallow and always converge”

This is a good tutorial Because it tells what each tool does and the catalog number to take note of when buying tools stamps and adding to your equipment. In some tutorials, the teacher will say, "Next tool is XXXX" but without the tool cat#, it can't help when buying more stamps, if you don't know the Cat#. Until you learn the tool and cat#s. Also, the salesperson will take you more seriously if you use the cat# rather than just, "It looks like so, so,so, ...e .! Appreciate the tutorials.

Fantastic addition to the lineup. I'd really appreciate it if one of the first vids is on the care and sharpening of the swivel knife, particularly a Ceramic Swivel Knife. I sharpen my leatherwork knives, no problem, but the ceramic swivel is giving me fits. Any advice on which polish to use, green, white, or rouge, etc. I can't find any info on the ceramic knife and that's the only one I have. This will be a great series, thanks so much! Karen

I did not hear if you 'cased' the leather before you started with the swivel knife. Do you do that first? Pencil on the leather or pen through tracing paper to transfer the pattern?
