Good camera angle, easy speech and explanation. Thanks a lot.

[@delealgladney2423]

Love this! I bought a whole bag of leather scraps to make one small project. I didn't know what to do with the rest. I learned a lot from you. Thanks! Everybody is getting a keychain for Fathers Day!

[@shirleymalar304]

A good reminder for a product to make this time of year.

[@budhardin1945]

[@thepinktomboy7189]

Okay first of all I love your energy and you are now my new youtube leather Daddy!

[@makermusik]

You are such an excellent teacher!

[@mcloydmcneil2791]

Awesome Video! I rarely watch a whole video but this one was exceptionally well. Thanks for your training and extended creativity support. -Success!

[@va_bg]

Love your channel. Just bought my first scraps so that I can start learning how to use my tools

[@johnnyc.5979]

I like Chuck; informative, smart, and real.

[@theinvisiblequeen]

Great projects for beginners and to make use of your scraps. I do the round tab style and do a small carving. Great way to try it a new motif. The long narrow one works well with a vine with leaves or a flower repeated pattern. So many possibilities. In a pinch, when I ran out of the plastic for a pattern, went to the dollar store and got those thin flexible chopping sheets. They're frosted so not as easy to trace but it works.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Some great possibilities! Thank you for watching!

[@MobyBrickFlicks]

Freakin Chuck Dorset is back! #chuckdorsetarmy

[@sbfarmer8]

a wonderful production improvement. thanks for the item numbers.

[@Tyger_Eyez]

Well! I was just talking about making some keychains out of some scrap that I have left over from some other projects! This is perfect timing :-) thank you so much for another wonderful tutorial 🥰

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Oh good, have fun with it!

[@claretayler9155]

Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you for watching!

[@alanrouse8301]

As always, very interesting, but the next time I am in Huntsville, I am going to go to The Jolly Fox and have a cool one for you so you can relax! Enjoyed the video as usually.

[@noahbeckman9406]

He is great

[@natalie8212]

Love these videos! He really does make it seem so easy!

[@RowdyLowdy]

Wow this is so entertaining. And I have NO interest in doing leather but this is very relaxing stress free content. I love it.

[@cheriesirk117]

Chuck u r the man love watching all your videos--- very helpful 💖🌹

[@stevenewman_cog]

Dude, you just made me want to get into this! How cool. Now I need a few tools!

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Well.. did you get some tools? Are you an official leather addict now? So all your friends and family have more leather goods than they ever wanted? Lol! Seriously am. Curious tho. Always see things in comments that make me wonder if some stranger ever followed thru with something that has nothing to do w me. Ha!

[@HarleyRiderMC]

Always interesting, always entertaining. Thanks for the ideas and tips.

[@jeffreycrossin427]

Loving it Chuck

[@guillermoandrada6197]

Amazing projects!

[@toyotas4ever]

Wow! Been hooked on your videos since I found them about a month ago. Love the info and you do an excellent job explaining and showing all the techniques. Keep it up and thank you for all you do.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much!

[@jamieswanson8828]

Love your videos Chuck!

[@chanchalkumarsingh5442]

Thank you, i made mystery band at home, all my friends were very surprised of it. From India

[@j.m.england6828]

Oh wow, I just recently found your awesome videos, already I have learned so much, your tutorials are very easy to learn the leather making trade or hobby. I've been searching on Amazon for a color mixed set of keyrings & D rings, wow it's very hard to be able to find matching colors like getting both in either light or dark silver, bronze, gold or gun metal, etc. Is it a good idea to actually keep each I make in coordinated colors?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi Melody! Thank you so much, we're so glad the videos have been helpful! If possible, I like to keep the hardware matching on each piece - it gives the product a nice professional look! If you look for solid brass or brass plated they should all be close in color and the same goes for antique brass, antique nickel, copper, etc. Hope that helps!

[@j.m.england6828]

Oh my goodness thank you sooooo, much for your very quick reply, it is very much appreciated, I absolutely love your very helpful tutorials, I come back to them again & again, I am new at leather working & I am learning a lot from your tutorials, i'm so glad you are offering this to us all here, thank you very much.

[@christinabeanqueen]

Great tutorial! I love your enthusiasm! :) Thank you for the tips!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thanks so much!

[@SalviMithrin]

Spectacular as always. Thank you

[@ryanturley4267]

I tried to do the groove line my groove cutter dosnt do anything

[@ThomasLeonard454]

Love them.

[@robwagner7545]

Curious, for repeatedly punching holes, is it more comfortable on the wrists/hands/arms to use the rotary punch, or to us a hole punch and mallet? Seems to me like repeatedly squeezing would be more strain than striking with a mallet, but having several sizes in one tool also seems beneficial.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi Rob, If you're doing a lot of hole punching, a drive punch and mallet would be more comfortable.

[@thessie]

This is so useful thanks so much! For the Mystery Braid if I wanted to use veg-tan and dye it, will a dip-dye get inside the cuts as well? I don't want undyed edges showing on a darker colour. I have no idea how I'd do split/gradient dyes on these (yet - maybe paintbrushing dye veeerrry carefully onto the inner cuts).

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Yes, dip-dye should get all of the inside cuts covered.

[@thessie]

@@WeaverLeatherSupply brilliant thank you!! Can't wait to try it

[@noahbeckman9406]

Thanks

[@sergeantraven3015]

do you also have a video for the keychains with conchos? I have tried making a few of those with stiching on the edges, but the edge slick makes it deform a bit. I see yours has no stitching, and i am very curious to see what it looks like on the back ;)

[@perrydoerr8668]

Once again..great job Chuck. I’m thinking the one thumbs down is just someone who missed the punch hole Ha! It’s the one on the left dummy. 👍

[@litahsr.8226]

😮Wow! 24:06 thats gonna be a little tough with big thumbs

[@johnboyd7158]

Another great idea. I enjoy watching and listening to your narrative. Learn a lot! BTW- is that a Luminox watch that you are wearing? Looking good!

[@michaelosmon]

Just noticed your mallet has a leather head, that's cool is it homemade?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

HI Michael, It is not homemade but we will link the mallet here for you! www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-2520/rawhide-mallet/pr_59961

[@grimtt]

Hi Chuck! Been bingeing your vids and wanted to know, if you have a 1 1/4 inch point punch, can ya also use it on a 1inch strap? Right now I can afford one punch so am trying to figure out what my most used size would be... prob mostly use on dog collars and small ppl belts. Thanks for all your work-

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Yes, you absolutely can! Just mark the center of your strap and line up the tip of the punch with that!

[@elainemartin5784]

I love your tutorials but where in the U.K. can I get the tools and leather to start. You mention leather in different weights but here in Britain, they just say "leather". I ordered a scrap bag and it was all one weight, offcuts from upholstery, very soft, not appropriate for cuffs etc. I look forward to your reply. Thank you, Chuck.

[@SteveShivik]

Chuck's voice reminds me a lot of R. Lee Ermy's.

[@susannadistefano7457]

Genial 👍 🤩👏👏👏

Your light on your work area lacks a bunch!

Congrls. India.

[@502deth]

i hate to be the asshole pushing another companies products on weavers video,(of which all of chucks videos are awesome), but for the spots, michael's crafts has a leather spot tool/punch that just has 2 small blades that you can set their distance apart and instantly punch both holes for any size spot. imo, its easier than doing them with the exacto knife, and the tool is only about $10 and comes with a few spots.

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Just gonna let your D hang off the edge there, huh? Smh Just can't bear to use double cap "rivets" on anything that gets used at all. That'll be the failure point on every one if those keychains. Yeah they'll probably last a while. But everything made breaks eventually with continued use. And if it's got one of those double crap rivets, there's your failure point. Put a real river in the thing and let your customer use it till the leather wears thru.
