[@Antibus]

this was Very helpful for someone just starting to get into leatherworking and wanting to touch into aging and weathering. thank you :D

[@BillyTheClipp]

It's nice that such an episode was uploaded to the channel, because tomorrow I'm going to change my entire leather wardrobe, and there is quite a bit of it, to a Mad Max style because I have dedicated my life to the post-apocalypse and I will seriously wear it this way throughout my life. Wish me luck!

[@shawnharvey1291]

I love watching you leather projects I would love to see you do something like a post apocalyptic leather jacket

[@joey1160]

Amazing. Did you make a video showing how to make the actual vest?! That thing is dope.

Distressing leather is easy. First you remind it that it is late filing it's taxes, and then, just before bed, you inform it that it's leather-in-laws is staying over this weekend. Guaranteed to distress anything.

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Awesome video bud! I'm definitely going to try this one too!

Cl3ver, I love your shirt. TMNT.

A really good method to accomplish this. May wariness about the process is with the alcohol. Alcohol embrittles veg-tan tan leather, so it is important to re-hydrate it to make it last longer. You can accomplish the same effects using just a light coat of water (surface wet is ideal) and then stressing it. Suggestion on the wax part would be instead of wax( which will make the leather slightly water repellent) use a leather conditioner. I saw this for two reasons: 1. you accomplish the same effect as well as water repellency and wont waste any wax, and 2. It will rehydrate your leather a bit if you go the alcohol rout. A cool little addendum you can do to add to the lower part for the wear and tear appearance is to use any assortment of punches randomly placed near the bottom and the edges. punch about 3/4 to almost through and then just lightly pull the scrap off. Just be sure to hit the exposed fibers with resolene or a sealer so it does lead to actual damage to the leather when wearing. I love these leather videos man, gives me great ideas for things to do after I get some revenue in. Keep going Bro!

You can also apply candle wax and rub vigorously with a felt pad. Best results I've seen. Combine that with neatsfoot or antiquing finish and you'll get some uneven wearing which is perfect.

Cl3ver, I hear your corrupted druid wants a set of divination bones in a leather pouch. Gifol Lea

You can totally use the rock and hammer deal to this!

I age a lot of my leather projects by throwing them in the backseat of my Jeep. Damn, place is like a timewarp. I leave them back there for about a month and they come out looking 100 years old with all kinds of "nice" wear and tear.

[@Marko-bh3pl]

Is this a universal jeep thing cause same 😂

[@LaineyBug2020]

I forgot about Lady Killer, and thought there was a giant spider in your studio for a minute...

[@kevinschmith9379]

Hey I got a deer pelt and it smells a little gamey any Ideer how to get the stink out

[@gloamishvonsatyrburg4635]

How about a cane with a hidden stiletto ? Could you make that?

[@SkillTree]

Perhaps... but would a high heel shoe really be a useful addition to a cane?🤔.... kidding of course. I will give it a go for sure!

[@gloamishvonsatyrburg4635]

[@gloamishvonsatyrburg4635]

Hahaha...funny man....sarcasm birds must do as sarcasm birds do

[@lucasthubron2597]

make a leather flat cap

[@jeffislearning]

Why not use water instead of alcohol?? Isn't it the same at drying up the leather.

[@DonaldMcDaniel-c4l]

interesting👍👍👍👍

[@PatinaLeathercraft]

Or even better. Lay the leather in a stone outside upp. Take a smaller hand sized rock and drag over it at different direktions. For best effekt dampen the leather first. Try it on a scrap first.

[@batuhanylmaz3661]

You would probably get a similar result if you just treated it bad for a week or two.
