You,sir, are an excellent teacher! Not only skilled in your craft but an excellent speaker! I look forward to viewing your other videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@joshhollinshead2190]

The amount of passion in your voice is truely amazing, more crafters need to find this channel! Some, if not most of the projects you cover arent even on youtube.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hello Josh! Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to watch these tutorials!

[@derekfish7768]

Nice

[@20431643]

Those little punch out pieces i actually use. After I have tumbled the cases I use to reload i put them through another tumbler session with those little punch pieces. The leather actually cleans the cases pretty well and it helps to show up any small cracks in the cases if they are polished. It also helps to polish knife blades in the tumbler (little cheat i use when I am too tired to sit and hand polish for hours) .. they do about 80 to 85% of the work and I dont have to spend hours polishing the blade (note, this is pre sharpening)

[@maike__-]

Hi, this may be a little unrelated but apart from the fact that this video is super informative and very helpful, I love the way you have this habit of saying 'nice' when you finished a step, because it reminds me that it's important to acknowledge the stuff that we did well instead of focusing on little mistakes. Thank you for the video! I'm planning on making a pair of those for my little brother who loves everything viking-ish, he's gonna be thrilled!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much!

[@zigman1976]

So glad to have come across this vid. You can tell this guy 1. Loves what he does, 2. Loves to showcase it, 3. Very instructional in his steps, 4. Very enthusiastic, 5. Cares about his viewers. Bravo!!!

[@TheLarry1965]

I made some wallets and a purse 30 years ago, Now I am buying tools to make these. Man you are good. Thanks I had forgotten how much fun leather crafting was. This is a great hobby for me to pass on to my grand daughter.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

That's great to hear - thank you so much! Such a great hobby and I'm so glad you're passing it on to your future generation!

[@thisolddog2259]

Well sir i am truly amazed by your talent and calm aproach to teaching. You are kind of the Bob Ross of leather working!

[@thisolddog2259]

Oh and with the little leather punch outs you could plant them and grow more cow's!

[@thisolddog2259]

Kelly Brown .....now that's thinking outside the pasture 😱😊

[@TetraProxy]

I thoroughly enjoy how positive your attitude is.

[@barbarataylor908]

Those little pieces from the hole punch I use them to make the rattle in the baby rattles for my grand daughter. Worked very well.

[@scottadkin541]

He is the high energy Bob Ross of leatherwork.

[@UndaCuvaChikin]

I've been thinking about getting into leather working for cosplay and designing motorcycle riding gear and you have given me the biggest confidence boost! Absolutely fantastic tutorial!

[@fruzsinanemeth]

I think I found my master in leather craft study. Simple, easy and amazingly understandable teaching! Thank you for sharing! :)

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much!

[@paulwheelhouse7090]

super channel, excellent projects, a wonderful tutor. Please keep up your good work. I am new to leather craft and at 63 and live in the UK, I dont have a life time to learn, so i am copying your stuff. THANK YOU.

[@michaeltraynor9388]

You make leather work look so easy. I'm self taught and still learning. I never had a teacher to teach me..love your videos. I wish I knew about them when I first started. Maybe I wouldn't have wasted so much leather back in those days.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you, Michael! We're glad they've been helpful!

[@michaeltraynor9388]

your welcome. I love your videos. I have learned so much. Thank you.

[@Peteru69]

Precis and to the point. Accurate and sane measurements without a bunch of waste, looks good!

[@Jyullya257]

Mr. Dorsey, you transformed a simple piece of leather into a masterpiece! Great work! You are also a superb teacher!

[@TheDIYNINJA]

youre great to watch. I giggled when you said youre made out of leather and will dye too.

[@derekfish7768]

Lol ya same

[@marksstudio]

So glad I came across this channel. Thank you Mr. Dorsett.

[@dvldogg187]

Wow. What a positive guy! You are like the Bob Ross of leather.

[@apeterson23]

Your tutorials are so good! Please keep making more. I learn so much. Thanks

[@josephdemro9805]

Bob, I have just really stared watching and learning from you, Thank God for You Tube. You teach a mean class Sir. Thanks, I am already having a blast on what I have learned. Need to get a class on rivets , gromets, and snaps. Keep doing what you do,... I'm glad to be one of your new students. Joe

[@jehrad0]

Seriously the best videos for leather working.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thanks so much!

Very nice, very clean. Very square, very symmetrical😂

[@derekfish7768]

Lol...he sounds like me...I say nice when blacksmithing or whatever I'm doing. Its probably my most used word

[@elikithompson96]

You are a fantastic teacher - very well spoken - great cadence. I am just beginning the journey of working with leather, glad to have found such a great source.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching.

[@JSlippy]

I found this video so inspiring! You are a great teacher and clearly a skilled craftsman. Your constant positive reinforcement was my favourite part of this video. Thank you for making these videos. I can’t wait to watch more.

[@Mosaic_Crone]

Thank you for this one. We professionally cosplay and the cuffs my husband made 15 years ago have seen the last of their better days. Even with the road trip to PA for leather you just saved us a great deal of money & even more importantly the multiple headaches that come with his being so particular. He's built like a Viking Berserker & we don't like the ready made pieces we were afraid he'd have to settle for in his size.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

That is awesome, so glad the video was helpful!

[@Buick59]

Thanks for taking the time to make such professional and easy to follow instructional videos.

[@Mrk2268]

Las Vegas life has the exact same thought as me. Great clear voice that portrays knowledge and confidence. Thank you, I am excited to get to work!!!!!

[@MountainFisher]

I make knives and therefore knife sheaths. I find your videos quite informative and because my sheaths are so nice I have people asking for all kinds of leatherwork and there is a Goth music band that wanted arm guards and you have just showed me the best way to do it. Thank you!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hello Jimmie! We are thrilled to hear that you found this video tutorial helpful! Thank you for the comment!

[@bridatalabarteria9357]

Congratulations. Every video I realize because my husband dreams of having the opportunity to collaborate or work with you. The discipline, the love they give to each piece is what makes us admire them. God bless you

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

Use the holes from punching holes to stuff things (like hacky sacs), OR, add the bits to your house plants or compost them in your yard/garden--the leather does a splendid job of holding moisture in the soil.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Those are great ideas, thank you!

[@mdramk93]

I am so happy I found this channel. Thanks for this great Videos

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you, we're so glad you found us as well and that the videos have been helpful!

[@boom5344]

use the leather "holes" to fill bean bas, great for makeshift camera holders when a tripod isn't available, and they smell nice too :)

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Great uses for those little leather rounds! Thanks for sharing.

[@DragonLover789]

you could also use them as little accents for some of the other pieces that you make at the shop.

[@ILLDreams]

Your videos got me into working with leather. I'm fresh to it but thanks to you advice. I get get a lot of complements on my work. Thanks sir.

[@honda200twinstar3]

iv developed an interest in this kind of late in life at 60 ,but im hoping to a few tools a some leather so i can give tis hobby a try, but in watching you your teaching .lets just say iv watched this a few times and enjoy it just as much as the first..lol

[@shirleymalar9323]

AWESOME Video! The best way of making an arm guard pattern I have ever seen. Love the way you did that scale pattern too. Please keep these videos coming!

[@mariehuynh]

This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. Thanks!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much!

It would be so cool to make this kind of stuff for cosplays, shows, movies, etc.

[@maxenloe3578]

This has given me so many ideas on how to make arm guards Thank you

[@prestonorr2936]

I still appreciate and thank you for taking time to teach me a few basics that day in tandy almost 10 years ago that started my passion in leather working.

[@ewayne1527]

Yet another great video. Your videos are without a doubt the best!

[@johnwright6706]

Using the belt cutters as scale tools....i don't know how long that would have taken me to figure out, but it's awesome. Thank you.

You're welcome, glad the video was helpful!

[@jeffshen7058]

Thank you for the amazing video. Beautiful craftsmanship and radiant passion.

I love when you talk about dye. Highlight of the videos

Just bought a leather working set along with some leather. I'm very excited to learn this craft. These videos are extremely helpful and inspiring.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much!

[@MatthewThrone]

Hey, its me on my other account. I just finished making one armguard. A huge recommendation would be to let your viewers know that the length of the forearm should be measured from the inside of the arm, while the arm is bent. Otherwise, the armguard will be quite uncomfortable on the wrist and elbow without any room to adequately move.

[@MatthewThrone]

For me, I am still going to wear it for my Halloween costume, but I have to twist is so that the laces are facing the inside of the arm, while the "Pointed" end is in line with the elbow.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@djohnson3678]

the leather dots from the punch out tool, you can mark certain places to mesh down the leather wrist strap ( heated , so it will be like a branding dot ) and glue the dots in place. makes good decoration on the wrist strap. awsome vlog !!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

That is a cool idea, Scorp. We'll have to try that. Very creative!

[@rushwingate]

Your verbal presentation is amazing sir, thank you for this!

[@ShadowDragoon004]

Very nice, very clean! Man you're my hero. A little hard to follow at first, but you laid everything out very well, made it easy to follow along with by the midway point, and some of the little tips (to a novice leatherworker like me) were very interesting.

[@Delphinad7]

These videos are really awesome I can’t wait to get my leatherworking tools so I can start too

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much, Jason!

[@SandrinoC.]

thank you very much for this video, i just finished the card model for my arms guard; without your instruction i never would figure out how to do it.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

That's fantastic! We'd love to see a photograph of your arm guards when you're finished. We encourage you to post a photo on our Facebook page: facebook.com/leathersupply. Thanks for the comment!

[@mattfairfield9103]

Beautiful!!!! You’re like the R. Lee Ermy of leather working lol. Very good video!!!

[@rachaelwyatt754]

2 suggestions for you although I am sure you have thought about these before. The tiny bits of leather from the hole punch? Save them in a box as they can so easily be used for other craft or costume projucts. Finally on my own vambraces I used rabbit fur. Soft against the skin and if you do sweat it soaks it up like a sponge.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thanks, Rachael!

[@kevinsawberger3879]

Very very nice! I can't wait to make my own.

[@nels-bloodycool33]

Yet another fantastic video. I am going to start on this project right now!

[@bobbysonus2005]

Love how turned out

[@Bulfwyne]

what i like doing for Antiquing, is to Dilute a Finish, Resolene or a Matte, and apply a single coat, then Antique it, let it get in the grooves, use a ruler and a cloth or paper towel wrapped around so get a even wipe on the top surface only. Letting the aintique stay in the grooves for a few hours, then wipe again using the ruler mainly to buff out anything i missed.

[@DavidREllisAZ]

Thankyou very much for making this tutorial 👍👍🇳🇿🇳🇿

I just finished a pair of these ! copied your design and I love them. Wish I could show you my first tooling project.

We use those leather plugs from punches to fill holes in heel bases when replacing heels on women's shoes. It gives us something to nail into for the new heel. So there is a use for them. :-)
