As a person new to leather work I have watched no lye a couple hundred videos and your channel by far is the most educational and has a great mix of humor thanks for all the work you guys put into your channel.

Terrific as usual. Favorite shot. Dog's ball in the mini tripod. Cracks me up. I had fun, did you?

[@MasconLeather]

Thank you, again, Bruce! I had a blast !

[@bbrachman]

@@MasconLeather Just the shot(s) of you walking across the house to get your leather must have been 4 or 5 camera set ups. A tremendous amount of work goes into these videos. Almost more than the actual construction of the leather piece. Most will not appreciate the video work. Again, you have my thanks. I learn a little every time I watch one. (this video taught me to pick up women's underwear before filming!)

[@MasconLeather]

You are spot on !! Just walking across house. 4-5 camera moves. Shoot, walk, move camera , repeat. Etc. So a 15 second walk took 45 minutes to film, load in software, edit. And for the leather..... a wallet usually takes 4 +/- hours to make. To make AND film (and edit) takes 30+ hours.

Great vid, thanks. Been doing mine completely differently, this is definitely easier. Ive been pressure molding it before cutting edges and sewing. It seems to harden it. Yes im fairly new and still figuring things out. Any idea how i can harden it using your process?

[@MasconLeather]

I use Horween Dublin mostly. Yes, it’s veg tan, but it can NOT me cased nor wet molded. They infuse with too much fats and liquors in the veg tan process. Let it be supple and soft. 😆

Do you use an edge Kote or an edge paint when you burnish the edges ? And thanks again for your amazing work and showing everyone how it’s done!!!

Can you describe your filming set up. What are you shooting with and how are you getting it to play on your tablet as a monitor.. I’ve been using switcher studio on and off but it’s a lil costly for as much as I use it.

[@MasconLeather]

The parts you’re seeing there are: iPhone - filmic pro app. ($29??) iPad - filmic pro remote (works in conjunction with filmic pro app on phone) ($10??) Estimating the prices there.

Ok thanks switcher is 39 a month as well and can have up to 4 cameras plus the switcher device you can place lower thirds and graphics and so on on the screen as well as switch back and forth between cameras...
