@@keystonepirate2534 Thanks

Thank you very much for saying you enjoyed it! Appreciated. Cheers to you too.

That's a great idea! Next time for sure.

It looks like my 400 grit sandpaper in the video. Depending on how much I need to scale back, it could be anything. I have 220 on the sander to really take down if needed and I'll move up through the finer grits. Usually I don't have the patience while trying to make a video. If it's for someone else I'll finese it and fine sand between burnishes too. I have all grits, (400,800,1200, etc.). whatever I'm feeling and stop when I'm satisfied. Are you a crafter? Do you have a particular method you stick to?

I am a retiree who is just starting to get back into Leatherwork as a hobby. Back in the early 70s I had a shop in a college town, but that was a long time ago and I have a lot fewer resources now. There are also a few resources available here in Israel (where now live) so I am making do with hundred grit and thousand grit with nothing in between.

@@achadhaamoratsim7098 That’s good to hear you are picking it up again. I wish I had started earlier. I won’t get years of experience at this point but it is a very satisfying hobby. Thanks for messaging me. Stay in touch. Good luck.

@@DubTuck002 good idea. I’ll try that next time. Thanks for watching!

You can turn those two screws on top to adjust how deep it trims

@@carelbrits yeah, I liked it too when I saw Ethan’s video. He does a couple of different patterns if you want to try some. I had to give it a go after I watched it!

@@pamelalittlefield4608 Thank you for saying that!

@@brillonleather 😆😆🥰🥰

@@AlejandroGomezgomez-h3l Hello! I just tried a 3” pc of scrap and it fits. The unit has a 4” blade but the actual opening is ~ 3 3/4”. Do you post your straps? I’d love to check them out. I have a video with my strap (shoulder pad style). I’m going to attempt a full leather strap. Would you still make a 3” for a bass guitar or would you go wider?

@@carelbrits hmmm, that’s a good idea! Thanks.

@@Davidesrajohn Thank you very much for taking the time to leave me this comment. It’s nice to know you watched and enjoyed it. I really appreciate it. That made my day!

@@debbraga7738 thanks

I’ve seen that type but never tried one. How many cards does it hold?

Thanks for watching and commenting. I've watched Arte's videos many times using his jigs. Couldn't for the life of me remember what they were called! Sometimes the distractions while making a video, I tend to forget a name or some terminology. Everything is a learning process.

Good work..

@@danieljuarez2710 thank you!

Thank you for the kind words!

Welcome to the leathercraft community! I found wallets a challenge to make. Maybe because of their size, any flaws really show. Everything has to be spot on so you learn quickly where you need to hone your skills. Good luck ahead and let me now how your doing. Thanks for watching my video.

Thank you for the comment. So much work goes into making a video between filming and editing. Never mind trying to make a decent product. It’s nice to hear that some progess is happening!

Slicking the backside with Tokenole probably wasn’t the best idea. The full tumbler is quite heavy and it was sliding on me. I glued a thin piece of scrap around the inside and it doesn’t slide at all now. I use it daily and it’s been good. I have to work it with all my fingertips to slip it off.

@@brillonleather Yeah man, good idea 👍

Thank you very much for saying that. I appreciate it.

It was a gift from Matt K.. He made it on his 3D printer.

Thanks

Thanks for that comment. I was on the fence about whether to post it. Much appreciated!

I use it more often than I thought I would. Good luck. I hope it works out well for you. Thanks for commenting!

@@brillonleather 👍🏼

Thanks for the tip John. I’m going to try that on the next belt. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Hi Dave. You have me thinking about that one. The bag really serves no purpose. I suppose I was hoping it would prevent any potential spill disasters!

hmmm, no speaker panels anywhere. Probably the light fixture or the a\c duct pipe. Thank you for watching the video.

@@brillonleather Over your right shoulder, beginning @ 5:59. It looks like one of those homemade speaker panels.

Ohhh, that’s a piece of plywood that is going to have my logo on it. First thing you see as you come down the stairs. Goes with the dream of an actual legit leather shop!

Thanks Selena! #1 fan😊

That's good to hear. It's something to look forward to after the long winter! Good luck. Thanks for the comment too.

I hear you on that one! Drop me an email at [email protected] if your intestested in buying one. i made a couple each a little different because the field books came in a pack of five. I can send you pictures. Happy gardening and thanks for the comment.

Started the garden last year but we fed all the near by wildlife until we fenced it. I’ll try some of those plants to lure away the hungry ones. I’m in 6b but will be starting seeds under a light soon. Happy gardening and thanks for your comment!

I actually made a few because the notebooks came in a pack of five. Drop me an email at [email protected] and I'll show you what I have. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for replying! I liked the stitched look too. Maybe stitched with a rivet on each corner would be cool. I went a little nuts with the rivets, lol. A good night’s sleep helps. Cleaned off the bench and ready to get at it. Just got to chill out and get back to why I enjoy this hobby!

Got to keep them handy!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much. I appreciate that comment. Thanks for the support!

Thank you very much for replying!

I know what you mean about the wrinkling. That sounds like a nice piece of equipment you have!

Thank you. Glad you like them!

That's a good idea! I almost want to get a second one so I can leave one set up for belts. When I change it I need to run some scrap to find my spot again.

I hope so too!
