I came across your channel and insta about 2 months ago. Ive been working in leather off and on since 2018. I got big into steampunk and took a few classes at tandy to learn the basics. Ive been watching your library and i gotta tell you not only have you inspired me to get back to it. Ive also learned sooo much from your vids!! Thank you for all you do!

[@MasconLeather]

Awe !!!! Thank you for that!!!

Hi buddy like so many I came across your channel purely by accident. Been doing leather work for years started making dog collars and leads purely because I couldn't get what I needed for my dogs . .

As always beautiful work. I am almost but not quite disappointed. Clicker press work now. I started watching because each piece was hand made. However I know that your skill is better served finishing more work for us to enjoy and not grunt working.

[@MasconLeather]

Oh trust me ….. 95% is cut by hand. And, the rule is “10,000 hours”. Remember. Once you hit 10,000 hours, you’re considered to have mastered a task. I’ve done that. My hand cut is literally indistinguishable from clicker. Therefore, it’s identical. And being booked into 2023 (1+ years), I need to start helping my clients out

[@swyftty2]

@@MasconLeather I see and know and appreciate your level of skill. Perhaps I am only really disappointed in that it is less content for me to see. I don't currently own any of your work so I have no point of comparison. Nor do I think that a click press makes your work less refined just like the bell skiver. I want to be in leather craft one day, as I have too much time. What work I am locked into is at home taking care of a sick and less able wife. I enjoy your content as I feel I might be able to learn something from it. I do feel that your step into power equipment is one that will let the leather enthusiast community enjoy more of your work, while hopefully letting you have more family time as well. Keep on and thank you for great content.

Don't know how to start this except I am shifting from building custom homes since I was 16, built my own carpentry business 4 yrs ago and doing alright, but now at 40 and 2 kids and twins on the way I decided I'm tired of working so darn hard! Hands hurt along with everything else lmao, wife is a bad ass artist, tatto artist, and makes jewelry, were both self employed! Al that being said I fucking spent a bunch of cash investing into being a lether worker like yourself, ordered alot of leather sides from Montana leather, a bunch of tools, man I'm in it! Then discovered your channel and laughed because seems were alot alike but different if that makes since! Blah blah blah anyway I guess what I'm getting to is I love the craftsmanship of your work and has ne even more pumped to build peices! Building a small work space and just waiting on leather to make it all the way to the big island of Hawaii! Any advice you could give an inspired, motivated man on starting up this building of a business?? Suggestions, any kind of helpful tips, shit you did wrong at the start that maybe I shouldn't do? Lol! I did buy your bump jigs the other night so just that alone should have me at pro status already right? 🤣 anyway Aloha from Hawaii Hope to here back from ya. Brandon. "Volcano carpentry and masonry" now shofting to "Volcanic leather" because we live in the town of 🌋 volcano on an active volcano 🤙

[@brandoncash9689]

@@MasconLeather any suggestions? Things you may have done differently from the start? I got really good at being carpenter by fucking shit up at a young age lmao!

Beautiful work! As a consumer, however, I would prefer the stitching to be in the same or similar color as the leather. To me, the white stitching cheapens the look of the product.

First off, I love your videos. The craftsmanship and humor are perfect. Since you are using 1mm thread, are you using 5mm or 6mm stitching chisels?

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks!! Usually 5mm. I do 6 on looooong stitch runs like hems and straps. If you watch my hand stitching video, I explain it all more in-depth

[@justray510]

I saw this elsewhere; Instead of skiving, at the line you marked to skiver cut it off and replace it with lining leather, about 1oz. Glue it to just above the line and stitch as usual.

[@MasconLeather]

Um….. my opinion? That’s hideous craftsmanship. But, again, that’s a subjective thing.

I have just recently started working with leather and have made 3 knife sheaths so far and work on my forth. Using a saddle stich which has been looking okay so far but I do have a question that I haven't found addressed in the videos I have watched. Hoping you will see this and can give me the answer. When do you know that you need an over the edge stich. I'm thinking it's at the stress points but not sure. I haven't used that in any of my sheaths but thinking maybe I should?? I've seen it done both ways so I'm just curious. Thanks for the videos. Love watching them!
