I love to watch a Craftsman! It’s not a job, it’s a love at work. You remind me of the “old” world craftsman that puts their heart and sole into each and every stroke of the blade to the final steps of dying and finishing. You always can tell it’s a work of Art, when the craftsman adds his or her “Maker’s Mark”! Best regards, Richard…

Great looking apron man I’ve made 2 leather and 1 canvas and bought upper class canvas one there worn out and trashed now I need to make another one of leather.

Great video. I really like the way you explain the things.

Thank you! Always a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work. One who gives his attention to the smallest detail. I always learn so much,thanks again.

youre welcome Charlie, thanks for watching our videos.

Thank you so much for the apron pattern. I love your chanel. Have a good one. Best regards from the coast of south brittany / France ;-)

Great video(s), Terrick. You do an excellent job with clear explanations. Not so many people are showing the details of quality and traditional techniques. I'd love to see you do a video on sewing something in the round with a butt stitch, like a dice cup or map case from thicker, firm leather.

Awesome, Terrick! Cannot wait to make this bad boy. Love your vids, very inspiring. All the best

Sir, thank you. I’ve learned so much from you. Respect!

Nice job on the apron! You are a true craftsman, thanks for the video.

Beautiful work as always. Thanks for sharing, educating and entertaining us all.

Fantastic work .... really enjoying seeing the craft.

Good video! I've been putting off making an apron for a long time but I think I'll make one. Thanks for sharing

👍I’ve recently found your channel and have been binge watching. I appreciate this and other types of handmade work so much. Love your expertise. The editing and music is nice (surprised by some of the fun music too😉). Thanks for sharing. 💞

Thank you for the free download! I can’t wait to make!

Another great project and video...👍

What a nice video. I literally cannot do w/o my french curves. Nearly every pattern has been created w/ this amazing tool. Nice work

So Charlene & Terrick, I just found your channel search thing for tutorials on how to make aprons. I'm a beginning leathercrafter who has forever wanted to be involved in the craft, but life and family and career... now I have the opportunity to get involved in all of the hobbies and crafts that I diddnt have money or time for before: blacksmithing, woodworking, leathercraft, hot rod building, knifemaking and furniture building. I have been a Welder/fabricator for 45 years and I'm looking forward to the next 35 in my new business designing and building industrial furniture. My luck finding you folks as I will learn a great deal from you. Did I hear you say that you are making that round knife? I very much enjoy making my own tools and machines as well. Cheers to you

Really nice apron. Looks very soft and comfortable. Most aprons are uncomfortable and stiff. Your artistry is amazing. Best regards, Richard....

Thanks for a great video!

awesome! totally awesome! i want to make a tool pouch but first maybe something more practical like a welding bib, perhaps some arm and foot protection as i use ballistic nylon boots for breathability due to diabetic feet.

Very Good

Hey there. Love your videos. Just purchased your skiving knife from RM Leather. Sooooo good!!! Ever do a chefs knife roll/bag? I would love to see how you would execute it. Keep up the great work man!!

Thank you Friend I'm just learning the craft. I was checking out my Utube channel dr bushcraft, & was watching you great job.

Those leather hides are beautiful ..hello Terrick I'm also in Australia, I found your facebook page and website

Love seeing and learning quality workmanship. Thank you for so much of your time! Would really like the pattern for the bag you made for your wife to take to hospital. Will you share it with me/us?

Looks like that circular metal tool you use to cut round corners is a valve end from a vehicle engine, correct? Whatever it is, it looks very useful!!

Great vids, i would love to see one about pattern making... How do you know how much room to leave for pockets/ stretching? Gussets? And which leather to use for what... Thanks :)

Great, I will make one for myself right now. Also I would like to see you make a hat. Chao

Looks like great fun. Do you sell the aprons or just show people how to make things n such?

Hi could you possibly do a video of you making a knife and a leather sheath

Love the videos and thanks for the free pattern. I wish you had a mic on so I could hear you better or clearer

Boa tarde Borban feliz Natal prosperidade neste ano que se inicia 2024 seja de muita paz

Great job and well explained. I wish to try to make one the same. May i ask what leather should I search for and the thickness please ?

Another cool video man! Can anyobody tell me what these brass revet- fastener hings are called? and maybe where to find them and the tool to install them?? thanks!

Thank you for the pattern I'm looking forward to making my very own apron. One question what weight leather did you use?

👍That type of animal leather is quite beautiful. 😍 I found some info on the Internet about the Gemsbok and Beisa Oryx “Many antelopes have impressive horns, but these two species take the grandeur to new levels. Rising straight and true for almost a metre, the horns are dignified markers of status. They’re very closely related, Beisa oryx inhabiting Kenya and Tanzania, and gemsbok found on the arid savannahs of Southern Africa, especially Namibia where they grace the country’s coat of arms.” - The Internet

Thanks for showing , your work is really amazing. Have you ever done a dog collar? Regards Jules, Droitwich, England

Thanks for the video Terrick. I would be really interested in seeing one or more videos using other leathers which are local to you, do they take a crease easily, easy to skive, bevel well ... However, it may be best as a sponsored video teaming up with a local tannery otherwise they could be expensive videos to make.

I love the videos you have on leather craft. I'm just starting. I've noticed that all your tools are sold out. Is it that they are no longer available or is it because they sell too quickly ? I would love to buy some of your tools that you manufacture

Enjoy all your videos. What were the thicknesses of leather used? Or did I miss them on video.

Hi Terrick, you make excellent videos! I am taking up on your offer to ask what to build (if you have time) but I know this item is old school but I just cannot find one and decided I'll make my own (after learning the basic art) and it's a cellphone holster that you put on your belt with multiple pockets for cards, pen, etc. Will you be willing to do this?

I would like to see a leather back pack for a welding hood and pockets for welding gear

Careful what you ask for. I'd like a video on that stitching elephant that usually sits on the shelf behind you. (I call it an elephant because its too big to call it a horse and any sort of mollusk would be an insult) What are the design elements that went into it and why? Thanks.

Terrick...please show us how you would make a lady's small "clutch" purse with a shoulder strap. Thank you and keep making your great videos!

I like the looks of your knives but their priced for the rich well off people, working man as myself can’t afford to invest that much in a knife, I’d like to try one out but don’t see it happening, Nice apron!!

Nice video, but I'm not giving you all of my personal info to download a free pdf. LOL

I don't think Terrick makes a strap cutter :) Different people use different tools to accomplish the same task. If I had my way and could justify the cost, then I would have a plough gauge instead I settle for the poor mans version which is a strap cutter.

Hi Terrick. I am considering buying your blade for L Indispensible, but I am not sure what bevel to buy. I watched your video and your measurements, right handed one is when bevel is on the left which lets your hand to be in comfortable position. My concern is, that I am afraid that if I cut leather with ruler is that my cut will have an angle. And also, I've seed video from LowTideLeather about your blade, and he recommended to buy left handed version(he is right handed). Could you please tell me if it is a real concern or I will get used to bevel on the left easily, or it is better to consider left handed for me(I am right handed and beginner)

@CHARTERMADE

Hi Pavel. Thanks for the comment. I have designed the blade primarily for freehand, delicate cuts. for this, the right hand blade with the left bevel excels because it allows for the natural camber of the hand to create clean cuts, so the blades primary function is not to cut against a ruler, even though it can be used for that. I personally use the right handed blade and I am right handed, and I do also use it against a metal ruler for straight cuts too. I did watch the the video you are referring to (thanks for pointing it out, what a great channel :) ) We do have a video explaining the difference in more detail kzread.info/dash/bejne/aax4sdeyf6uveLA.html I hope this helps you decide.

I would like to see a hatchet or axe cover/sheath.
