I've rarely seen someone take that moment right as they finish a project to just take in what they've made. You have such pride in your work, it's infectious, it makes me want to practice and make things. Thank you for sharing this

[@JRWorkAccount]

I've missed seeing these videos. Very happy to see you and your work again!

[@markdenney3903]

Nice to see you back.

[@sonar6176]

Nice to see you again!!!

[@rawhideadventures9515]

I was super excited to see a new video. Thank you.

[@bradymcphail9690]

Man it’s good to see you again my friend! It’s been a long time. I haven’t been able to work on leather or forging since last we spoke. A lot has transpired since then. I’ve had several set backs. We will survive!!!

[@CHARTERMADE]

Survive you will indeed my friend. Keep finding your strength and courage.

[@dolfsyvertsen5766]

Great video. Like your soothing style when working the leather. Proudly South African. Well done. 👍

[@johnbhancock]

I bought the pattern and made one for my brother's 70th birthday and he loved it. Thanks for the great design

[@ksrunt]

Your videos are always the most soothing out there. Even your punches are gentle. Like the nickel a little more than brass, although both are nice on the Dopp kit.

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thanks Kristin, we are glad you enjoyed watching the video :)

[@scottstephenson9597]

Brass Hardware, nice that you posted a video.

[@danielbell393]

I’m very happy that you’re back! Thank you for the video.

[@wenwren]

I love your channel and appreciate your willingness to share your skills and patterns. Thank you!

[@tylerhuttosmith]

I’m going to try and create a similar thing for my 4x5 film camera. Looks great!

[@ddianedavis7447]

I love leatherwork since i took it in high school in the 70’s: i am glad to find your channel watching you work and instruct is soothing. What the world needs are more artisans. You are one of the best! Keep it up. I subscribed hopefully i will get back to the craft of leatherwork again

[@antiope847]

Welcome back!

[@benjaminbong]

Been a while! Good to see you back!

[@nebelonline9172]

Hey you are back :-)

[@UnStrungHero]

Personally I would be very happy with either one. Kinda like the brass best, reminds me of harness. Thanks for new video, good to know you are still among us!

[@marksmycniuk9096]

Great project, thank you for sharing

[@stevefrench2590]

Lovely design, nice, simple and clean. A joy to watch also, thank you.

[@angiehoole1]

Great to see you again! Lovely original pattern. I love the brass personally. Just something classy about it 👌🏾

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thanks Angie. We are also a fan of the brass hardware :)

[@SoulfulSmokie]

I've been watching your video's and desiring to leather craft. Please don't stop teaching through this platform. Also. I am planning to purchase the tools that I will need from your store. Thanks for caring for the newbie. Hugs.

[@archiem6323]

Yes, good to see you again. I learned a lot from you years ago. 👍🙂

[@TurnersFour]

Love this video and all the other videos you have made. Please keep doing them you are a great instructor. It’s also quite calming to watch 😁

[@michaelridout9693]

Thank you for this video. I very much appreciate the peacefulness you exude. You always inspire me to create. Thank you for being generous with your expertise.

[@ballyclaire1]

Always enjoy your videos. I have one of your left handed skiving knives. It’s amazing!

[@cindyhoch9521]

I am glad to see you are okay. Been worried about you and maybe covid

[@tavrikgannon]

I think the brass looks better with that particular color of leather. Amazing work. I've been doing leather working for 16 years and always watch other folks ply their craft. I'm always learning new things and making new discoveries in the craft. This is great, thank you.

[@Monkeyboy001]

I like the nickel curved hardware better it gives it a more Elegant look.Appreciate your artisan teaching sessions it’s always nice to see how to use the knives you make the way they were intended

[@CHARTERMADE]

Hey Ken. Thanks for checking in to watch our video. Hope you are well.

[@stephensteineck2999]

Hello to you both. My Chartermade hat is still my go to lid. Been months since I had found a new leather video that interested me. Tonight was a pleasant surprise and I realized how long it had been since I’d seen a new video from you…and this did not disappoint. New project on the horizon. PDF here I come. Christmas is just around the corner.

[@CHARTERMADE]

Hey Stephen. We are so glad you enjoyed the video :). Thanks for all your support and encouragement Stephen. We would love to see the pics of your dopp kit what you have complete it.

@@CHARTERMADE 🔴 What Is Islam? 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

[@daverooni7763]

I love my Chartermade knife

[@LordViperman]

I like the nickel D-ring. But both is looking good. Thanks for sharing your skill. Hi from Stockholm, Sweden.

[@dmack1827]

Excellent project but the knives are exquisite. The only one missing from my bench is the trim knife.

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thank you for your kind words :) ...We look forward to sending you your trim knife ;)

[@peach8685]

Amazing work 👏

[@raftermocha6192]

Lovely, simple and neat, but yet stylish ! I really like this lots. Thank you for sharing this wonderful design.

[@jonnybkuehl878]

So nice to see you back in the shop!! It's been awhile I like the brass with that color of leather.

[@TrondOleJensen]

This is so perfect. Awesome work, love the design and no use of snap buttons and rivets. Sincerely TJ Norway 🇳🇴

[@V3leathercraft]

We the leather craft students are missing the Master Artisan's classes for two years😥

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thank you for the encouraging messaging. We getting set up to start videos in our new workshop.

[@LBramming]

Great to have you back. :-)

[@jeffmccoy1075]

Glad to see your back, really enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot from them. being an old guy I like the bronze hardware.

[@joshspeer2273]

great looking dopp kit. I like the brass hardware, but I like the color of the leather with the nickel hardware, it has a little deeper color.

[@daniellc5160]

Glad you're back!!👍👍👍

[@shawnlewis389]

I am craving more of your high quality content. Can't wait to see a new video.

[@MA-pf5bq]

U r truly an inspiration. Love your channel. Thank u for sharing your knowledge

[@richardabbott5601]

Nice to see you posting videos. Great project

[@DebKiwi]

Regarding your query about hardware preference, as an amateur silversmith, I almost always prefer silver, however, for that beautiful saddle colour leather, I feel that genuine brass is more suitable and classic. I’m pretty sure my son will want to make this Dopp kit for his dad (and probably one for himself). I’m going to order some of your patterns and possibly some of your knives. A Scout (son and hubs) always loves a good knife. :-)

[@CHARTERMADE]

Thank you Debs :)

[@michaelyoon2881]

Can we see you make a shoulder duffel bag, like the one we see behind you? Your videos are awesome!

[@gerrypelser2014]

Whoo hoo! A Saffer accent on KZbin. I'll definitely get some knives from you when I can. And sommer subscribed coz support local.

[@gerrypelser2014]

PS: where's the "Dopp"? :-P

[@rosheenromer6028]

Awesome video

[@gbjacks2]

I love it!! Beautiful work! They are both great items!

[@TriAtelierDesignStudio]

Love the idea and this video so much

[@crosswayshardware44]

Artistry in motion as always well done guys great informative vid!

[@wyatt-rocks]

Want to make a lot of money in this trade? I suggest making / offering custom gun holsters for customers. You won't be able to keep up if they're really nice. Maybe start making custom Bond Arms Derringer holsters. Huge market for holsters with some customization.

[@JohnnyDoesStuff]

I have been looking for a project like this. Great video!! I very happily bought this pattern from you today!! I also snagged your apron pattern!! Ive been enjoying your content! for a while, but never sub'd. Changed that today too.

[@dannymb287]

Thank you for this video, I will definitely follow for this!

[@levanjgarkava9992]

[@thestitchedcow5726]

We miss you man :(

[@flatdog-]

Thank you. Nice to see you back online! We’re in Darwin Australia. How can we order your knives & get more info on sharpening knives?

[@DLSWV]

I like the nickel.

[@leathertoolz]

great video mate!

[@rhondaadams4013]

Downsize that just a bit and add straps and that would make a beautiful purse!

[@Rsama60]

It’s been a long time, nice to have you back. M yprefernce? Brass, I like the silver color but nickel plated does not look pleasing.

[@atelier_nilsson]

Nice!

[@ArcticFlies56]

Did you make the Stitching Pony? It looks handmade. Beautiful.

[@shadwellsong]

Nickel !

[@bagramdave883]

Love your stuff.

[@teresaingram502]

I've been looking for old pattern state prisoners used to make for a make up train case can't find anywhere 😊

[@meltahir]

Thank you very much for teaching us. Amazing lessons here. Where did you get you stamp made?

[@notlisted1493]

Terrick. Do you not also sell your handmade leather works? I’m looked at your website but I don’t see anything for sale. Only your knives.

Thanks for the film. I have learnt so much from watching all your films, it is great to see someone else who loves leather craft! Keep up the amazing work and stay well :-)

[@sergioderderian16]

👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏 what leather do I need to make this project ?? Thanks

[@chrisrapp3245]

Afternoon, trying to purchase the pattern in the states and doesnt appear there is an option for payment for us over here. I tried all available options.

[@nireeburr]

Where is all the leather work you do? Satchels etc? I can’t find them anymore?? Only your knives etc?😮

[@StolenAlias]

Dopp kit? My man that’s a motorcycle tool bag. It is really nice though 🍻

[@HighVoltage1959]

Is there any way that I can get the dimensions of this Dopp Kit?

[@BalynOmavel]

Which stone do you recommend?

[@alliwantedisapepsi1492]

Ethics question - I am new to leatherwork. I get inspired by everyone. For personal use I plan to adapt your design to custom dimensions and add a handle to hold my sharpening stones. My question, when are you ripping an artist off (unethically) and when are your using others for inspiration to improve your skills. I want to get better so I watch a lot of leather crafters. I want to get better but I don't want to be a cheap hack. Right now a cheap hack is all I am. Other than copyright, what are your boundaries for barrowing inspiration from other people's ideas/ design's. Thanks for your time, and cheers.

[@tayabflame]

Hi my friend I have a leather very soft How to make is little firm (hard) Please ?!

[@davidbratcher9822]

Really beautiful. What weight leather do you use?

[@CHARTERMADE]

Hi David, all the information is found in the instruction manual of the pattern. for this project we use 2.4 - 2.6 mm.

[@davidbratcher9822]

Thank you. How much would the pattern be in dollars? Want to buy the pattern soon

[@DLSWV]

😉

[@doodybird5766]

Last video is from 2 years ago. Did he stop doing his videos, what happened?

[@CHARTERMADE]

Setting up for new videos in a new workshop. Will have to do a catch up video on what has been happening in the last bit of time.

[@denisj.3208]

@@CHARTERMADE Alright, i'm subbing

[@DebKiwi]

Love what you do and how you instruct, but please NO MUSIC. I’m finding it very challenging to follow what you’re saying and I’m definitely not a fan of music in between (I continuously have to turn down the volume and then back up again). I’m not sure why so many KZbinrs do this. If you were teaching a class in person, would you play music while you’re talking and/or have it come on louder in between sentences? I can pretty much guarantee that none of us (followers) would stop watching if you didn’t have music and I’m certain that some [more] of us would happily “tune in” (yes, pun intended) if you create your wonderful and informative videos without it. I just needed to get this of my chest. ;-) PS- I realize that you don’t have music playing all the way through this video so I’m mainly referring to others of yours that I’ve watched.

[@dmack1827]

sigh.. How about you let the video creators, create their own videos. You can always turn the volume down and use subtitles.
