Have to say. Chloe makes the video. She comes in right at the best time. Very soothing and makes me laugh. Great stuff. Thx.

[@MasconLeather]

Aaaw. Thanks. I agree.

[@aceamiotte9024]

I’ll be honest, when I first watched your videos I came for tips on my own leatherwork. I thought the editing was annoying, BUT now I look forward to your videos and all the work you put into editing them. Great work once again.

[@MasconLeather]

This is an absolutely amazing comment! Thank you so much for that! And thanks for sticking with me.

[@jeffreyjoseph1477]

I loved the crinkle looking finish on that leather, Thanks for sharing

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks, again, for watching!!

[@joshuapoche5137]

Awesome. Perfect timing getting to watch video before i go to work

[@MasconLeather]

So I got the time just right! Enjoy!

[@mill-techmanufacturing681]

I am fasinated by that surface roughing tool you use to prep the leather for gluing. I read below in another comment you might be making & bringing them to market. Look forward to that, keep us posted. Excellent video's I have picked up many tips/tricks from watching them. Thank you for that!!!! Your my new favorite craftsman to watch on KZbin.

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks, sir! Yes, my son makes them. We are working on getting some made for sale. Give us a little time and stay tuned.

[@mill-techmanufacturing681]

@@MasconLeather staying tune WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM !!!!! Thank you for replying ~ Jeff

[@MasconLeather]

Did you get one ordered ?

[@nevv8581]

Thanks for sharing another great video. The 10 seconds of stitching really put it in perspective how much work goes into making the finished wallet. I could only imagine how much time goes into recording and editing these awesome videos! Keep up the great work.

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks !! Yeah .... that 10 seconds which seemed like an eternity on film, was only 2 stitches (1/2”). So it gives a good perspective. And the videos take 25 - 50 hours, roughly. For a 4 hour wallet. 😆

[@nevv8581]

Mascon Leather wow! A true labour of love, and it shows. Your videos are interesting, have a story them, have some cool characters, and inspiring. The finished pieces are awesome as well. I really look forward to the next works of art. Cheers!

[@ntdtv]

Very good design!!

[@freezinweasle1]

Nice wallet and great video. I looked at the prices of the rechargeable dremels and took my corded one apart today and fixed it. I can last a little longer until the cord drives me crazy.

[@MasconLeather]

I hate cords. 😆

[@markhulette6987]

Thanks for the video--- I've made several similar money clip/minimal wallets with the same style clip but really like your version much more as I'm about 2 years into 'test driving' mine and there's a lot of stress on the stitching (didn't make a flap like yours). Might have to give that a go! Again, love your video style and the Chloe cameos!

[@MasconLeather]

Thank you!! And Chloe thanks you too !

[@vitalygoa3653]

Been following u on instagram for so long and didnt know till yesterday u had yt ... 😮😮😮 i love the vids 👍

[@MasconLeather]

Perfect!! Thanks!!

[@stevedodson7126]

Another great wallet and video. You’ve actually inspired me to try leather crafting. I’ve made myself a simple wallet with four card slots. It’s not to bad for my first one. My biggest problem with making a wallet with no template is the card slots. I keep making them not wide enough or stitching to far in on the edges.

[@MasconLeather]

That’s the fun part. Trial and error. And readjust

[@m3rkaba86]

Damn you are getting good at shooting & editing video. The subtle touches 👍

[@MasconLeather]

I really appreciate that! I keep learning and growing. Thanks for the support!

Awesome wallet! What was that circles rounding template you used called?

[@MasconLeather]

Circle template - wind fire designs

[@eddievalera2463]

Love all of your video’s. Where did you get your little squares? I cannot find them anywhere! Did you make them?

[@MasconLeather]

Yes, I had them custom made by a machinist. (More info in the video description) And thanks for watching!!! 🤘

Where do you buy your leather,I been working with veg tan for three years now and having trouble finding high end leather in the colors I like. Thanks enjoy your vids.Have a swaller for me .lol

This is really good film making. I F€£king love your style. Thanks for the hard work you put into this.

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks, Justin!! It's nice when the filming aspect of the videos (aside from the leather craft) is noticed. I really do appreciate the comment and support!

[@ЕвгенийМакаров-ъ5х3д]

Hello. Sorry for my bad English. What tool you use for scratch glue lines in your videos?

[@MasconLeather]

Hey! It’s a rougher. My son made it. But we may be making them for sale soon

[@robbrollinger2856]

Another great one... Question, why make it as two separate pieces, or three if you include the clip part that holds them together? I’ve never attempted a money clip wallet so I’m not familiar with the design details. Thanks as always for sharing your talents.

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve done it both ways... all one piece, and separate.

[@SchleissheimerRider]

Hey. Whats that Kind of Money Clip. Where can i get it?

[@MasconLeather]

Amazon

[@kennycomeaux3727]

I’m sure you’ve answered this in other videos before but what kind/brand of pliers do you use for compressing your seams after glue up?

[@MasconLeather]

I have, but I never mind answering questions.... and you don’t have time to scroll through various videos and comments. I completely understand that. They are Amy Roke brand leather pliers.

[@bbrachman]

So many little things stand out. The strange, $2 bills. The dog balls. I once tried throwing all my tools. I impaled myself and now I don't do it any more. The dog outside. Let me take a breath from speed stitching. Left handed priority? Less alcohol in this video. 100% more beautiful women. Nice touch. I am trying to master the template, ruler, cutting edge technique. Not very succussful. Oh, yeah, beautiful leather wallet/clip. Wonderful design. Tremendous technique. Yay!

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks so much for all of that, Bruce! (Sometimes all of these are referred to as Easter eggs.... usually in movies. ) Oh... the brick - reference to the business name sake. From the 1960s onward. Mas = masonry. Con = concrete. “Mascon”. They construction business of grandfather, uncle, father, etc was “Mas-con Construction”. I borrowed the name and dropped the hyphen.

[@bbrachman]

@@MasconLeather Easter eggs are notoriously hard to identify. I would be more inclined to call yours 'visual puns'. As a graphic artist, I try to put them into my work. It is not easy. Your quick edits are priceless. Anyone can make an instructional video. Yours are incredibly entertaining. I still don't throw my tools.

[@ai5085]

👍🏻 oh what a lady !!!

[@joeshmoe8912]

Flipped that brick like you may have layed some in your time. Wonder if it has anything to do with Mascon. Lol. Have a good one.

[@MasconLeather]

Oh wow. Yep. We’re all brick masons. Grandfather, father, me. The name Mascon is named after the old family business “Mas-con” which was “masonry- concrete “. Nice eye.

[@joeshmoe8912]

@@MasconLeather Yeah I read that in a magazine article that was written about you. When I saw that flip I was like yep definitely masonry was a big part of your life. I'm a carpenter so I notice stuff like that, Lol. Anyway you have been a huge inspiration in my leather craft. Thank you.

@@MasconLeather I learned that when I became a cook. I've got my share of knife scars. Keep doing what you do man. Your beautiful craftsman ship has got me inspired to try this for myself. I already opened an Etsy store with my first wallet up there. (the one I made which is inspired by your work btw) Nothing fancy and not anywhere near your level of quality and basically using veg-tan leather I'm dying myself (except the first three I made which I made with leather I bought off Amazon) but I sold one to a co-worker already. So That gives me hope :)
