What a great video. I like the way you cover all the new products you discovered. I'm watching this and trying to get as many pouches cut and sewn as I can.

[@user-ig4kt9kk4f]

Don, thank you for the kind mention on the tools. It was great to meet you in person, you have done so much for us "Leatherheads"

[@fredob1397]

Good to meet you Don, thanks for the class it was great.

[@bobbennett4916]

It was a pleasure visiting and meeting you and your family.

[@lindseyfrazier3298]

I love how you and Claudia do this as a team! I'm plotting how to rope my husband into helping me at some point. LOLOL

[@hibye4389]

Super excited for the saddle bags project video!!

[@judithwright5084]

Hi Don so glad to get to meet you at Prescott. Hope to see you again next year ❤

[@InMyBusyLittleShop]

Don! Had a great time in your tooling classes! I recommend your classes to anyone wanting to learn or fine tune their skills. Look forward to next year!

B-B saddle & supply in Blackfoot Idaho carries strip-Eze just like that one in stock. Just the other day I noticed they had 4 or 5 in their display case. Jeff & Shawn Shields are great & try to carry tools & equipment they trust in their shop. If you are struggling to find those hard to find items I always go there. You should check them out.

[@jenkins1979]

[@billybeasley5131]

Ill be buying a new t shirt this weekend😊

[@pamjohnson2547]

Next year check out Groom Creek for riding horses in the mountains. Great to meet you.

What size are the swivel knives you got for your kids? You mentioned they would work if you had small hands. I have been having a hard time feeling like my finger/hand is stretched too far out and I have it adjusted all the way down. I've been wondering if anyone made a smaller one!

[@llambert5062]

I’d be glad to send you my DW swivel knife.

[@pamjohnson2547]

Heading over to your store… I was looking for the hoodie I saw at the show but just couldn’t get back to purchase

[@pamjohnson2547]

Darn I wish I saw that glue pot while I was there…

[@pamjohnson2547]

The family road in Mayer from what your wife said.

[@johnillig3482]

Great idea contact cement rubber cement or white glue which one where

[@danielgallegos8455]

Any new podcasts on the horizon?

[@broken1965]

How'd Don whats up with the contact cement prices? Allot of inflation per supplies 😢 Anyway I wanted to share some lab stuff with people i have chemistry background. Acrylic finishes if you take like minwax POLYCRYLIC waterborne Acrylic. thin it 5% or not it works very well COMPARE $23 QUART Fiebing's $34 chemistry is basically same.

[@broken1965]

Another tip contact cement non water-based thin it in a pinch use carb an choke cleaner low voc toluene some acetone

[@KeithAdams-wd4nx]

I do a lot of live edge walnut furniture and I used polycrylic on it a few years ago, I thought to myself this is like resolene leather finish it aint worth nothin for wood. Thank You for clarifying that.

[@TexHoss1]

How about a cap with the TEXAS Flag on it?
