    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!

    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.

It was appreciated, and you might be discouraged by limited views, but you willingness to show a bit of your world with others can really be benificial and encouraging to other people out there that are just looking for some inspiration and different ideas. with that being said, thank you. thank you for spending the time to make all the different types of videos that you do. they are all appreciated!

    I couldn’t agree more myself. Those that understand the workmanship of being a leather craftsmanship will and do truly appreciate the effort you put into making a video like the “shop tour”. 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. I have many bottles of different products that I have bought and I feel like I still don’t have the right stuff lol.
