[@kolankprof]

Excellent close up shots! Thanks, Johan!

[@stevenservin627]

I just started this week and I'm so happy to have found your videos, they have helped me so much, Thank you Master!!!

[@chrisharmer1789]

Thank you John - I had become a bit lazy, just using a few tools that I was comfortable with. They could pretty much do everything I needed but wanted to look for different effects. I appreciate your time in making this - thank you 👍😊

[@bkreep]

I'm just starting out and I'm loving your videos. They're close up, explained very well, and packed with information. Thank you!

[@eugenelayton5231]

I have used a Miles Foot as a backgtrounder, keeping it pointed in one direction, and when finished it came out as more of a scaled/snake-skin effect. Great videos. You keep me thinking and exploring!

[@kevincohn5862]

Thank you very much. I'VE enjoyed watching you, your explaining things very well. I'VE enjoyed your basketwave style very much.thanks again Kpc.

[@CantrellLeatherGoods]

These ideas are great! Thank you so much for doing this video. It makes my imagination really start to go. I especially like the different size seeders - so interesting!!

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

Great tips, thank you very much! For some reason, I just LOVE the technique with the different size seeders. Just too cool!

[@griseldarodriguez6052]

Another good one i had to watch again as a refresher

[@druschli8368]

your video was so inspiring that I have just begun leather tooling, thx for your friendly and simple methods.

[@nancyk3615]

That's the same way I do it and how I was taught. Thank you.

[@deborahvance2685]

I have been struggling with backgrounds since I started leather working. I've watched every video I could watch. Your demonstration helped me. I was able to get my background even. I like the different background ideas. Suggestions on some better quality stamps other than Tandy. Thank you so much!

[@harley3345]

Thank you for sharing your techniques. I am new to this and searching for all the help available.

[@yeslekynot1]

A very good video.Dave🇺🇸

[@gravydogg1]

Great work ,thank you for sharing knowledge! I do think that you are a perfectionist though,artists usually are 😬

[@lawrencediggs7957]

Where can these tools be purchased?

[@leatherworker]

From Tandy, if you are in the USA or Europe

[@obtv6827]

Great video quality. What camera are you using?

[@leatherworker]

I use a small Samsung HMX-F90

[@waynerhoades8187]

On the design that is already on the piece at the beginning of the video, what was used for the dark, smooth background?

[@leatherworker]

That was done with Craftool stamps - bevelers - B971, B702 and B701.

[@Jena740]

You are brilliant

[@stafondas782]

Dag Johan, ek is van die Perel en wil graag met leerwerk begin, maar hier is nerens naby n winkel waar ek toerusting kan koop nie, weet jy van n plek of winkel in die boland area waar ek leerwerk toerusting kan koop, die leerlooierary is in Wellington, maar dis geen probleem om leer in die hande te kry nie, dis net die bevelars, die hoeksnyers van belde en rivvots waarmee ek sukkel om in die hande te kry. Baie dankie vir jou puik lesse, ek waardeer dit.

[@leatherworker]

Hier is die Suid Afrikaans e Faceboek groep vir leerwerk. Ek het destyds by Woodheads in Kaapstad gekoop, maar ek weet nie of hulle nog bestaan nie. facebook.com/groups/778994392146731/

[@leatherworker]

Lyk my Woodheads bestaan nog - ek het my heel eerste leer en tools by hulle gekoop in die begin van 1978! www.woodheads.co.za/

[@leatherworker]

Ek is by facebook.com/leatherbyjohan/

[@nelidagalli1409]

Para el videoBackground. Desde Argentina tengo las herramientas que trabaja el repujado. Necesito saber en una poco de vaqueta que deje la muestra de la herramienta y el número. Porque no se ve y no se cual don . Muchísimas gracias. No se leer su mensaje en su ud. Muchas Gracias le pido aclare el número de la herramientas y dejar la marca de cada una de las que trabaja. Bendición

[@claudiopaes3283]

cuanto tá preço sola pra entalhe na argentina

[@DLSWV]

I likes that..

[@1Garyguitar1]

Johan, ek was nou net in die VSA en dit was wonderlik. My vriend maak vellies en ek gaan vir haar so bietjie tooling doen. Ek het so veel moontlik gereedskap by Tandy gekoop want ek het net drie weke gehad. In Suid Afrika is die goed maar baie skaars. Jou videos is by ver die beste op die net. Het jy dalk nog kontak met leer mense in SA?

[@leatherworker]

Gary Guitar Ja, daar is 'n Facebook groep vir leerwerkers in Suid-Afrika. Jy behoort hulle te kry by: facebook.com/groups/778994392146731/

[@dreamwarriors979]

But you have the problem when u go more than one time over the leather you DAMAGED & looks real fast bad! I look to use the backgrounder 1 time on one place! I mean this real important!

[@leatherworker]

Danjo, I have never had damage to the leather with the methods shown. Just be careful, and maybe you could work a bit slower.

[@Elfin4]

Looks very messy !!

[@kathyd9324]

Thank you!
