Thanks!

[@SailriteWorkbench]

Thanks for the support! Let us know if there are any leather crafting DIY videos you would want to see in the future!

[@user-nh6jc6yo1v]

Damned nice, competent fellow. Pleasure to watch and learn. I'm not sure if I'll ever make any leather projects but I enjoy knowing the process, which allows me to appreciate all of the knowledge and skill that goes into making these kind of products.

[@SailriteWorkbench]

If you enjoy learning about this, maybe you should give it a leather project a try sometime! I always tell people that a belt is a great place to start. Thanks for watching

[@Benny0388]

Great series

[@CalebWhitten]

I knew this kid in college. Happy to see him succeeding!

[@SailriteWorkbench]

Hey Caleb, Corbin here, thanks for watching!

[@LouJames-yb5id]

Thanks for the video! The green sewing machine, the Sailrite leatherwork has been on the market for years and I have yet to sew a leather sewing video on it. Will you be making one soon?

[@SailriteWorkbench]

Very soon! We will have a video in a similar style to this one where we talk about everything you need to know to start machine sewing. We will focus on the green leatherwork machine, and also mention our black fabricator machine.
