After watching 2 of your videos I've got to say that Your Work is positively impressive.I've been making holsters and magazine pouches for a while and I know what it takes tobe good. In fact I'm pretty good because I'm always learning and you will be high on the list of teachers. Thanks for the great videos of tasteful leather work. Thanks for sharing your great talent.

Thanks for your comment, atb John

[@FlintstoneZzz]

You can also use a kydex press to shape the leather thats what I do to save all the work also molds with good detailed results but I know everyone has there own ways . Great work !!

[@tinkeringeekkissimmeefl4495]

WOW! Brilliant! A piece of art! I realize that your video was posted many years ago, but would you be able to reproduce this and perhaps make a custom pouch for me?

[@vracsergeant8525]

John Wellings You're welcome John :) Have a good evening :)

[@toddfullerton3930]

Excellent work.

[@camcravens1141]

John great video and you are a craftsman for sure. Totally enjoyed this video and I'm in the process of making a similar pouch for a friend of mine. I am going to use a vacuum system to mold mine as my hand's can't handle the pressure of pushing on the leather that much. Wish me luck....

[@Brummiejohn200]

Good luck with your pouch and thanks for the nice comment, atb John.

[@samking4179]

[@darrelltemple1565]

17:53 Hi! Beautiful work and video! What is this finish you’re applying to the inside?

[@Brummiejohn200]

Hi Darrel thanks for the comment the finish is Fiebing's Tan-Kote ,atb John

[@LE-6920]

Awesome! Fantastic work!

[@obeezeed7843]

You are awesome! Great work.

[@davidarbinger3543]

really cool, what kind of color do you use for the leather?

[@johnherber9280]

whoa....work of art!!! can I buy this one? where can I get one for my surge

[@Ilmerish]

Hello! Thank you for your videos! What is used at 17:53 ? Some kind of hardener?

[@Brummiejohn200]

No It’s Fiebing’s Tan-Kote I use it to seal the inside of the pouch .

[@Ilmerish]

John Wellings Oh.. Ha, rhank you. :)

[@traviscarpenter6433]

Beautiful. The music though....lol. I'm trying to learn and was wondering what the different solutions you were putting on it. Such as on the inside after you dyed it. Otherwise I'm assuming just water to shape/soften, dye and mink oil. Is the other solution to stiffen it inside?

[@Brummiejohn200]

The inside is coated with " Fiebings Tan-Kote " I use this a lot on the back of the leather, to shape the leather just water for the finishing I start with Neatsfoot oil very good for dry leather too then I use Effax Leder-Balsam for my leather work that's used outside then finally polish it Carnauba Creme, hope this helps, stay safe, atb John.

[@mccalltjtm]

Very nice!

Hi John, looks great very nice work. Do you sell these? Looking for a surge sheath and yours looks the part! What do you charge for such sheath. Regards wilko jan

[@Brummiejohn200]

I do sell them but I don’t have any for sale at the moment when I do they will be sold on my Etsy shop, thanks for your comment, atb John.

[@jackierudd2010]

Beautiful pouch, very relaxing calm video that's been a pleasure to watch. I'm in the middle of doing something similar but I haven't used a wooden frame, (tut ! ) I need to take some very minor creases out from the bottom edges, do I need to re wet all the leather to do that or would it be ok to just wet the bottom part, I'd like to keep the leather quite light in colour and was worried it might look water marked when it's dried out if I only do the bottom bit, I hope you can give me some advice. Thankyou so much for sharing your inspirational video. 😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@Brummiejohn200]

If I was you I would wet all the leather you can get stains in the leather from just water so wet it all and you should be ok, thanks for the comment, atb John.

[@jackierudd2010]

John Wellings, Thankyou for your advice 😊 I'll do that 👍

[@SHawkeye007]

Fantastic work as always John, do you or would you make one for a Surge and the bit kit and horizontal carry, if so please PM me a price. Many thanks for sharing, could watch all day! ATB Shaun

[@Brummiejohn200]

+Hawkeye Bushcraft Thanks Shaun, PM sent.

[@platypus100]

[@thecasualcitizen492]

Enjoyed the video. Gives me ideas to try. What weight leather do you use? Thank you for the very informative video. Subscribed

[@Brummiejohn200]

Not sure what the weight is we don't use that in the UK but it's 3-3.5mm thick, thanks for the sub and the comment, atb John.

[@KyleZa87]

Awesome video. I tried contacting you through your mail on your website but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there another way to get hold of you?

[@Brummiejohn200]

,I'm sorry that email address is not used anymore I have updated it now sorry about that and thanks for letting me know, atb John.

[@lkfng]

[@Brummiejohn200]

Hi Luke sorry I have non finished at the moment but I have one in the process of being made I hope to have it finished in a couple of weeks or so, atb John.
