Couldn't relate to this more. So glad you didn't quit, we all need you. Love you brother, Merry Christmas!

[@siquang6]

You sir are another person that inspired me. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@DesertOrchidLeatherCraft]

We all need you. Thanks brother for sharing your experience and motivate us. Merry Christmas with love.

A message from the heart that speaks of Truth is never weird. Thank you for having the courage to give a message that so many of us need to hear. Virtual hugs to you and your family.

You and Ryan are my heroes!

[@oliveroregan1641]

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you very much for sharing this message . I wish you and yours all the best for the future, kind regards Ollie.

[@JPC326]

You know, my father died from an accident in October. In November a wallet my father gave me while on a trip to Ohio broke. It was a big deal because my father only made one trip in his life and he bought me that wallet. A month ago something just broke inside me too. My father was a cabinet-maker. I myself am not at all good with manual labor. I started looking for a wallet on youtube and fell upon your channel. It was one of the videos where you say nothing and just work. Just having that background noise remembered my father and I started crying... a lot and it was much needed. I often listen to your video in the background while I work and sometimes just to relax when I feel the world is crazy and I just feel like throwing up. Thanks for your work, for the peace you bring me, and for not giving up. We may never meet as I am in Quebec but I wish you a good day. Don't give up and thanks again for some peace of mind.

[@grievingchris]

So sorry for your loss. 😥💔

My comment is nothing like the previous guys, (i wish him the best) i have bad insomnia that comes and goes in cycles. Your videos are something that i can watch and listen to and usually get to sleep. It doesnt sound like much but your videos have made a part of my life better and im sure there is a ripple effect, better sleep means a better human means handling life better and spreading more positivity. Keep up the great work. THANK YOU.

[@ScottHebert604]

Electrician, photographer, leatherworker, youtuber, husband, dad and probably a lot more. Brother your commitment to excellence in everything you do is the inspiring part. I haven't started doing any leatherworking yet but you've inspired me to make my best art(KZbin etc.). Came for the leather vids, stayed for the rest. Happy Holidays. Cheers to the future Ryan, good vid.

[@dmack1827]

2020.... Lost a friend... lost a relative...lost a job... canceled a wedding...found a better job...rescheduled a wedding...leathercraft was there to keep my mind occupied. Thank god for that.

[@jhvwoodworking6939]

Great message. This hits home. I was laid off in May and just got hired by a great company. God has a plan we just need to listen.

[@stephenbutler9432]

I’m starting my own leather company, and you were one of my inspirations, along with Corter Leather and Dieselpunk. I am one of those creative types, that simply wants to learn everything they can about anything, and that is what got me to leather. I have already sold 3 bags and a few smaller trinkets to coworkers and family, and they love them. It’s not the money that entices me (although selling a bag for $300 made my day), it’s the process. Experimenting with designs, seeing the amazed look on people’s faces when I tell them that I made my bag, wallet, belt, and hat myself. Even if I don’t sell another bag my entire life, it’s not about that. Like you said, it’s the love for the craft. Take care of yourself, have a very blessed Christmas. God bless you.

[@patrickseitisoseitiso4318]

Powerful message indeed. Thanks so much. Merry Christmas to you too.

[@ARLimitless]

Thank you so much for sharing this story. Not only this but also because when I started crafting as a hobby and just made a card holder that was not even looking like one but it was your comment on it as an encouragement that kept me going. Even upto this day it means a lot. So thanks for all those lessons.

[@valsrventures]

Very inspiring! I needed to hear this. Congratulations on your new baby!!

[@Tommy6404]

I appreciate you making the video. Watching videos like yours, Stock & Barrel, and plenty of other leathercrafting videos had pushed me from a backseat dreamer to spending hours enjoying my new favorite hobby. I went from spending my free time playing video games and watching tv shows to leathercrafting and listening/reading books. It’s a change which has given me perspective and is unfathomably more rewarding. From a simple single stitch line wallet to bags and trinkets for family members.... I love what I’ve accomplished and look forward to what I’ll do next. And you’ve been a part of that journey for me. So thank you, I truly do appreciate it.

[@cjolson2636]

Brother that hit so close to home. I’m on paternity leave now with our first daughter and started leatherwork because of your video with Peter for something to do while she was pregnant. 2020 was the hardest year of our lives, we both lost our jobs and found out we were pregnant the next day. My dad also passed away but my daughter Phoenix was born17 MINUTES APART on the same day. My slogan for 2021 is, “The love you give us the love you receive” thanks for spreading love it will come back to you. Sending love to you and you expanding family. Congratulations that’s amazing! I want you to know that you have been a source of calm clarity in the tough times this year. Our world fell apart in 2020 but tough people last.
