You are so much fun to watch, awesome work...☺☺

[@MasconLeather]

Thank you so much 😁

[@nm3389]

Beautiful tray! I love your key chain!!

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks!! And thanks for watching!!

[@ROBTAT2]

I have so many projects I wanna do. I learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank you!

[@MasconLeather]

Perfect!!

[@tjkoker]

That was a fun and simple one. Artie, before stitching and all the edge finishing, could you wet the leather and pre-mold the tray over a piece of wood. Seems that might help the shape instead of just folding it over a ruler. Just an apprentice asking the master. Give a scratch to Chloe for me. Cheers. Tom

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks!!! This is Dublin and CXL. They don’t respond as well to wetting as raw veg.

[@nauticalknotcraft]

Beautiful! For me, the pinched corners are the way to go. Nice work on the vid, as always. I'm jonesing for Chloe. Just sayin. Thanks.

[@MasconLeather]

Oh snap!!! Chloe was out back chasing squirrels! 😆

[@JnJShiffler]

What do you use for your punch mat? It looks like a section of vinyl flap door material.

[@yuliyayat4004]

Hi there! What size snaps to buy and where? Could you recommend please

[@MasconLeather]

These are rivets. 9 gauge

Marking the holes for the copper rivets, will those same holes work for line 24 snaps or is the placement different? Thanks

[@threesweet3390]

Could I put something between the layers to make a flatter base? Would I need to add to the measurements if so?

[@MasconLeather]

Give it a shot !

[@skylineleathercompany]

I received my bump jigs a few weeks ago. They’re awesome 🤙

[@MasconLeather]

Awesome!!! Thanks for the support!!

[@lindaaustin-morin7781]

Another awesome video Artie. Would we need to skive channels on the flesh side of each piece before we glue and sew? or is that overthinking it?

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks for the comment. For rhis style I don’t do channels. But in my 10oz+ I do v gouge the folds.

[@aaronionta7134]

Hello I like your wallets And your videos Where did you get those Rivet cutting pliers? Thanks Aaron

Hello from the swamp in South Carolina. I have watched most of your videos and I see the "it's not mayonnaise " that burnish the rough side with. You mentioned that it was covered in one video, but I can't find it. Help me out. If it's not a trade secret, what is it?

[@MasconLeather]

Questions and answers video. 😉

Rivet

[@warofwrath]

Awesome!! Love the folded corners. How did you get chromexl to burnish like that!!

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks ! Burnishing cxl is doable. But it takes 3 times longer than usual. Patience. Don’t give up

[@warofwrath]

@@MasconLeather awesome. Going to have to get some to play with. Love Dublin.

[@MasconLeather]

Yes !!

[@Mr.JohnnyVLD]

can it be done without the wrinkles?

[@MasconLeather]

My single layer trays (10 oz) have no wrinkles because I put a v gouge in the fold. So yes. But the wrinkles are part of the charm here.

What, no Chloe?! dig the new intro ✌
