thanks for the video and the insights into how to create patterns. On a different note, I remember in one of your videos you said that you were going to be answering one of the "burning questions" that a lot of people ask. that is "what is the white goop you are using when burnishing the flesh side of your leather?" . I have not seen a follow up after that. is that still in the plans to answer that or have you already done that, and I just missed it? thanks either way. appreciate all the videos you share with us!

@MasconLeather

Yes! That’s coming up. The ironic part about doing designated videos from 1,000s of “burning questions” is - when I do them, they don’t do well. Low views. Example- I’ve been asked 10,000+ times for a shop tour video. I finally did it, and it was barely watched (relatively speaking). So it’s a bit discouraging, from a creator’s perspective.

As Bob Park signs his books “From my bench to yours” this video is in the same realm, from your bench to ours. I enjoy seeing your set up and seeing how you lay your shop out. Unless i am not accurate there aren’t many videos like that. So thank you for the video and opening up your shop to show everyone else. I am excited and eager to learn what the “white mud” is.
