[@AttackLineLeather]

Dude, this is awesome...I just started piddling around with leather work. Keep up the awesome work.

[@AttackLineLeather]

Thank you soo much

[@littleriver86]

I really like the scratches you use on stuff like the flag and the Texas outline on the money clip. It gives it a cool look. I tried it on a wallet I’m making (just a little kit from Tandy) and I love it. Awesome work man

[@AttackLineLeather]

Hey thanks soo much. Decorative cuts are one of my favorite steps in the process.

Hola. Hace unos dias empece a ver tus vídeos, muy buenos, me gustaría hacer algo similar, soy bombero voluntario y me gustan mucho tu trabajo, también me gustan los EDC. Hay alguna posibilidad que me digas que productos usar para pintar el cuero y que productos usas para dar los acabados de tus trabajos, me estoy iniciando en el trabajo del cuero. Desde ya muchas gracias! Saludos desde Mendoza, Argentina!

Greetings, beautiful work and we are sure to thank you all for your videos, this edge print tool this little ball effect is a tandy that model could say, grateful.

[@AttackLineLeather]

Awesome video! Bonus points for Chief :). I saw so many things in this video that got me thinking! Did I see correctly that your tooling surface is very high compared to you? I just use a regular desk and it makes me sit forward because I need my eyes really close to the work and it hurts because it's a bad posture. I love the design of your tray! I'm going to try one too!!! I'm very much a beginner in leathercraft and I still struggle with everything a bit, such as applying different dyes/finishes and everything. I tried using Tan Kote before Antiqueing but I noticed you were very generous with your Tan Kote. Did you let all of that sit to dry? I'm going to need to try that, my layers were much thinner. And gosh I need to develop the patience to let things dry properly. Thanks for the video!

[@AttackLineLeather]

Thanks soo much for the support. Yes my tooling surface is a it higher than normal. I was able to snag a head stone that a company had messed up on and it is 4 inches thick. Soon I'll be building a custom work station and I will be lowering the head stone. Although it is closer to my face, it keeps my tooling shoulder higher than is comfortable. As far as applying tan kote, I do lay it on pretty think and I make sure its fully dry before moving to antique. To speed up the drying time you can put your leather in front of a fan.

[@Teyla91]

@@AttackLineLeather Thanks. I'm going to try to make a valet tray and we'll see what happens! Do you use dyes to paint? Or acrylics?

[@AttackLineLeather]

@@Teyla91 for the vallet tray I used Fiebings pro dyes. I'll use water based paints sometimes.

[@nanobyte588]

Love the Texas basketweave tool! Where did you get it from? Awesome work!

[@AttackLineLeather]

Thank you. I believe i got it from proleathercarvers.com

[@jtRipper12]

Nice I was the 1000 Sub, Keep up the good work

[@AttackLineLeather]

Heck ya. Thanks soo much for your support. I'm going to be doing a 1k give away so be on the lookout

[@voodoo0202ify]

Great video!...I'm just starting in leathercraft. Can you please answer this question, what kind of paint do you use? Is it just normal acrylic paint? Or is it some kind of "special " paint you need to buy?

[@AttackLineLeather]

Thank you. I use water based paints. The ones im using in the video are Eco Flo paints. You can also use Angelus paints

[@benmartin3180]

Can you do a video in finding quality leather for fire service use? Everything I find seems cheap and idk where to look for deals or quality leather. Thanks from a fellow Texas fireman!

[@benjaminpastrana9662]

wow💪🏼 Great job. What is the brand of the sewing machine?

[@AttackLineLeather]

Thanks. Tippmann Boss

[@stevehawes3722]

Are you using paint or dye for the Texas flag and the border? Also, What paints / dyes are you using for that? I generally stick with Fiebing's Pro Dyes, but realize that adding paints might open up a whole new avenue. Love your work, and the fact that you're in Texas only makes it that much better!

[@AttackLineLeather]

I use Fiebings pro dyes mostly. The flag is their royal blue and red. I use Eco Flo paints from tandy but am looking to try Angelus paints. They look to be of a higher quality. Texas baby "fist bump"

[@martinstults9419]

What size TX basket weave stamp did you use? They come in small, medium and large from Pro Crafter.

[@AttackLineLeather]

I believe its the medium

[@martinstults9419]

@@AttackLineLeather thanks, I just ordered a small. I should have ask you first. I can always use a small stamp (3/8").

[@carrothair4]

How long do you let the dye set up before using the tan Cote? When I tried to apply it all the dye ran into my other work. Also any advise on using red dye? I can’t get one consistent red tone. I keep getting different shades and stroke marks/lines.

[@AttackLineLeather]

You must let your dye dry at least 24 hrs before adding tan kote. If you put a good layer of dye on it can be splotchy looking however, when allowed to fully dry, it will even out.

[@carrothair4]

Attack Line Leather thank you! I knew I had to be doing something wrong. I’ll give that a shot.

[@nermineghazal1816]

Hi great work I wonder why you put tape on the back sude of yout tolled leather while tooling And why you burnt the paint daube

[@AttackLineLeather]

Hello and thanks for the question. I put the painters tape on the back to keep the tooling from stretching out the leather. I burn the dauber to get rid of all the little hairs. They can get sealed into the project and dont look good

[@youtoobloser]

What's the brand name of that sewing machine?

[@AttackLineLeather]

Tippman Boss

[@hobbitgecko]

What breed is your dog??

[@AttackLineLeather]

He is a Catahoula mix

[@shantahsieh2877]

I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.
