GREAT TIP!!! I struggle with stitch placement and this will give me a better image of where I should place my stitch line. Thanks Don! I'll be sharing this one on social media for sure!

Don as always thank you for your videos and for freely sharing the knowledge and wisdom you have earned through years of experience.

Hi I just watched your leather wallet video it was very good it reminded me of my grandfathers style of leatherwork. He also made saddles and he loved the leather work community

Thanks Don. Puts things into perspective. I have always wondered about that too as no one has really discussed this topic much.

[@svvmedia3720]

Hi Don. Fantastic products and information, thanks. Do you have any videos to show how you dye the leather around your carvings for example the beautiful wallet?

[@terry8682]

Thanks Don, as always another helpful tip and now I understand how to eyeball much better😳

[@richardabbott5601]

I like your nail paint on that pinky finger. Haha!!

No wonder my tri fold wallet is so thick, I'll need to pick up some of that goat skin. Stitching is an art all its own.

I've always found that anywhere from 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch from the edge is a good safe zone. When dealing with smaller items like belts and wallets.

Thanks Don.

what chisels do you like? I'm looking at buying my first set of chisels.

The border on the wallet is that painted or dyed ? It looks awesome!
