You made me break my “buy absolutely nothing on Black Friday” vow, I was so touched by the video and wanted a piece of this history. Thank you for all the years of learning and, recently, laughing, you freely give.

If you pause on 22:05 you see the setup and it’s the best I have seen out of 5 years of watching leather working videos

[@Brandana2012]

I've been watching you guys for about 4 years and I've gotten to the point where your content is my safe space, in the background, or when I need to come back down to earth from my anxiety. You're always my go-to for when I want to learn something new. Keep being awesome, putting out good stuff, and I hope Kayleena gets better soon.

[@alexanders.montes7131]

I'm absolutely so amazed that each and every leather is one of kind. I would love to see a messenger bag made from this leather with french stitch and copper rivets.

[@jameshuggins4300]

Congratulations on 15 years I've been a hobby leatherworker for almost 10 years and due to health issues I've had a lot of free time this year watching your videos has really helped me up my game. Keep up the good work 👍

[@Wheres_Waldos_EDC]

I love Rocado, they are really stepping up their game! Congrats on 15 years and such a cool collaboration!

[@MultiFish]

Sooo happy to grab a trio of these inspirational pieces. I adore the way you two work together, what you produce in the workshop and your movies here on YT. You are a constant for me in my leathercraft development. Thank you both so very much.

First congratulations on 15 years. Second that's a sick bunch of shells. I want to thank you because 2 and a half years ago I set out on this trip into the leather world. You were the one I learned the most from. It isn't fruitful fur me yet but fingers crossed the moves I make will change all that next year. Also fantastic new place you have!

"Now that shell has been, y'know, unlocked from one tannery making it..." WOW! What a *massive* slam against Horweeen, man. I've seen a few comparison videos between Rocado, Shinki, and Horween. There's a reason why one of those brands is "the brand" and has been for over a hundred years. Still, though, great effort in what you produced... very impressive and a cool backstory!

Congrats on 15 years sir! After watching you for around a year, I decided I wanted to try leathercraft. I’ve become addicted to it. It’s therapeutic for me when I can’t go do photography or cinematography for my friends short film channel. Sold my first two commissions this week, and just ordered more Leather. Keep up the good work, and thank you. Hope Kayleena gets better soon! She adds so much to the channel.

Nice Job, I am an old leather crafter retired, but I am picking up one for myself! Those look awesome! Thanks for continuing the leather crafting world. Yes definitely do a video and show your workshop, would love to see your setup!

I just stumbled on your chanel a day or 2 ago and was so impressed with your generosity in sharing your skills with those who are learning. As a fellow maker and small business owner, congratulations on the success you've built in doing what you love. I'm only sad that I saw this too late to get one of these beautiful pieces. Here's to at least 15 more years of success and I hope Kayleena has healed up and is back in the shop with you

[@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639]

@Corter Leather This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. My Dad had a leather kit he used for making western belts, but to memory I don't think he ever had presses, just the dies to which I believe he used a rubber mallet to set and/or cut what he needed. He had the dies of the whole alphabet in Capital letters and a hole punch. I still have the letters and hole that he used!!! I was hoping you would show the sewing/stitching process, and he would come also!!!!

This looks like Rocado did a straight lift of Horween's Psychedelic shell cordovan.

[@Corter]

Did they ever make more than those 2 shells where the back was kinda funky looking? This was a full development process over 6 months and you can only do it with specific colors because shell takes different dyes in different ways, getting the blend right and consistent on a fully glazed run is admittedly a bit different than a couple test shells.

@@MrOldclunker Actually, horween leather is a biproduct of the meat industry from Belgium and Quebec. The hide would otherwise be thrown away. All the hides are tanned in Chicago. Now that you know, what do you think? I think it means more people should use real leather and not these plastic "vegan" leathers that have been popping up the last few years.

Hello there I was watching this video and saw the Key Work Clothes sign in the background! My Grandpa worked there many years after he returned from WWII.

[@scarrax0159]

They look really beautiful! Sadly here in Germany cash is still pretty widely used so these all aren't really an option for me, but I really love them and would love to carry one! To be honest, being able to get around with just one of these and not having the pockets full of loose change is one of the few things I envy you US people for. Good luck on your future endeavors and I hope to come back at your shop some day in the future when I can justify to buy one of your nice wallets!

This is absolutely amazing :) One quick question please: I have the same hot stamping machine, and it has this proprietary holder, where did you find someone to do a custom stamp that fits it? Thanks

[@FunDumb]

Does a clicker die like that cost an arm and a leg?

[@Corter]

they are expensive for sure, I think it's like $8 or $9 per stitching hole. However they're an investment that pays dividends in the end, ours are 10 years old with 10's of thousands of impressions on them and never been sharpened, speeds up our process around 60% and makes every piece the same so you get solid dependable quality hiring not-so-skilled people if you need to scale. It's all up to what your business plan is, and you can totally do a little bit with holes for rivets and snaps without going full bore with the stitch holes too if you use a sewing machine

[@HelenMcLean]

@corterleather My die maker says she can't do stitch holes. Where do you get yours from please?
