If you are just seeing this video for the first time, where did it get pushed to you? This video is suddenly skyrocketing for some reason and I’m curious. Thanks!

You a great listener 😃

I have been working with leather for 30 years and this is the first video that is worth it. Most of those who say they work with leather are terrible.

Finally, someone that shows how to do and tell what they are doing when it comes to carving and tooling!! THANK YOU! Thumbs up! I think I have learned more just from watching this one video than I have from all the others that I've watched on here! Can't wait to try this out tomorrow.

Me too! It almost sounds mechanical. Like the planishing hammer in my metal shop. Very cool! You can tell that his hammering is perfectly even, like a machine! I love this guy's talent, and knack for explaining, without dumbing it down.

I wish I had the money to have you make a neck brace for me. I had 3 joints in my neck fused, They were pinching the nerves that run into my arms/hands. But my VA disability check is barely enough to keep the bills paid. Don't know why I shared this, but I really don't get out much anymore. Be well and keep up the beautiful crafting that you do.

Thank you so much for this video. Getting ready to do a purse for my wife and it's been a couple of years since I did any carving. This was exactly what I was looking for to help get me through the process.

Right at the end where you show the unique way you use your modelling scoop, I like that. I am going to try that, thank you.

From someone new to leather working, your channel is awesome and has helped me begin this awesome craft.

You have a new subscriber. I've been cutting and sewing leather for knife scabbards and other stuff I make as a hobby for years, but just now trying to learn this. I liked that you were clear about the use and care of the tools used. I learned a few things and I'm sure someone just starting out would learn alot! Nice work!

One of the best done how to videos I have seen on You Tube

I searched for leather tutorials and it was in the list, now I’m subscribed. I like how you explain what you are doing. A lot of tutorials don’t actually explain things it’s sped up and music playing over with minimal explanation. Thank you keep up the great work.

Yours is one of the better video's here on this topic. Thanks for making it and sharing your techniques, learned a few tips I did.

It's great to see videos like these showcasing the traditional arts of old. Really enjoyed watching this and you have a great talent. I've subscribed.

Great video! I like your no-nonsense approach to making a video. Maximum info with minimum wasted time. Well done!

Really appreciate your teaching technique. So many people will show the same process or technique over and over and finitem !

My first ever tracing paper/pattern was a hand drawn tutonic cross. It turned out great. It was good watching your methods and I learned a bit more. Thanks.

Guess who tried doing this with only a glass of water and a small metal stick, it was me. In all honestly though I'm actually really happy with the result, it definitely looks a bit homemade but that's totally fine with me and it think it adds style.

Thanks so much. It looks so complicated, but you made it easy for those of us with no art skill!!

You have an admirably steady hand, my friend!

It was a true joy to watch you work!

Came here looking for tips to up my tooling game. Thank you.

I really like how you used the spoon tool to beval the outside of the pattern. Ive never seen that done befor.

I've loved the drawing. As instructor you're great.

Can we just talk about this dude's voice for a moment? Fecking hell.... If I had a voice like that I'd be doing all the voice overs...

Hello I just started working with leather and now I know what tools I should buy/make for myself. Excellent teaching on your part, Thanks for the video and,great work. Oh I wanted to learn this so I can make my own seat and saddle bags for my bike.

Very helpful tutorial... You answered the questions... That I had... Nice work... Thanks for sharing...

I do leather work, but have never done Viking stuff. Thank you fir the inspiration. Also thank you for telling what you are doing with each tool.Many people do not do this. They have too remember that there are people trying to learn. That alone caused me to subscribe

This design is beautiful.

Love seeing how this is done and learning about the tools n techniques. Thanks for your video. Really nice work

An EXCELLENT tutorial video, short precise and very informative.

Thanks a lot for the lesson, you are a very good teacher. Straight to the point.

Old school, I love making leather boxes, I don't like the cuting tool, works fine with out it...nice work

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, You help me understand better on how to do leather work

I love your voice and this video. It's very chill.

i like that you speed up some of the process, but not ALL of it.. gives a much more realistic impression of how much time it actually takes to get through the process, while not making for an exhaustively long video. :)

Just recently started getting into tutorials, night and day from what I had known before. I appreciate the clarity and simplicity of your videos, also showing how non-cased leather is fine for carving. This was the first I watched. The close-ups of the tooling process is the most informative part for me. Cannot thank you enough!

Your guidance & tips helpful as always. Great refresher material, as I must go many months between projects. Cheers.

Love the speed and skill.

Thanks! Great work. I've never done this. Total novice to leather work. This is an incentive to start buying my tooling.

How beautiful, you are so talented! This looks like loads of fun and a portable craft.

Thanks, you made it look a lot easier than I thought it was. I learnt a lot.

Very nice, I have a few variations on what you do, but it is nice to have see a different take on carving and lines.

I think this video popped up on my main recommendation page because I watched some Nerdforge videos about leather bookbinding. This looked interesting, so I clicked, watched, gave the video a thumbs up, and subscribed. 😁

Man, you're awesome. I'm speechless.

I am not really into leather carving but this was certainly enjoyable and interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing.

Brillant! Thank you very much for this video, I had wondered where to bevel on a knot design.

Very nice! I always love handmade art. I seen this video watching lanyard making diy,and then was moved to a video on making a iPhone 10 leather moulding video. Nice work.👍👍✌️

Thank you for this video. I'm looking forward to learning the art of leather working through your channel.

This was a wonderful tutorial... Expertly done and never boring..... He does his carving exactly as I do mine and the finished product always looks very good....

Great tutorial, thanks. Well-paced instruction, speeding up at the right spots.

VERY nice tutorial and the design is great! I was damn good in 7th grade but, haven't done much since! I'm 66 now, so it isn't something I do! I tried some, a few years ago and I guess, like riding a bicycle, it really doesn't go too far away! About 10 minutes and I was right back in the groove! BUT, I did teach my daughters how to do it and they did well! THANKS for the video!

Awesome....loved everything about it

Excellent video! You've got a nice teaching style and your talent shows through in your finished product. I'm excited to practice your suggestions. Thanks!

Great vid, times lapse is excellent.. for fast learning.

great job very well done, you are true craftsman.

Nice work. Celtic & Viking designs are hugely similar in many ways, which is one of the reasons my ancestors loved to pilfer artefacts from the monasteries when they arrived here long ago. We even kept the name the locals gave us. "Dark strangers".

this was a great help. as I was just commissioned to do a nordic themed Collar for someone. I have never done scrollwork before!! this was very helpful Ill be doing plenty of trials before moving onto the piece lol thaks a TON!!!!!

I just discovered your channel. I did leather work a little back in high school many years ago. I always loved it. I've recently made some homemade knives and want to make some leather sheaths for them. I must echo what Terry C. has said. This video is GREAT because you show an excellent view of your work, and more importantly , you EXPLAIN what to do, when, and how to do it. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU

I did leather tooling when I was 10 or 11 years old and now that I'm 64 decided to get back into it. Your video was the best 10:20 I could have ever spent as a refresher on backgrounding and basic leather tooling. You are an excellent teacher! I too wish the sped up parts was how fast we could really go!!

Your voice scared the shit out of me when I played the video it’s so deep. Subscribed.

The sped up hammering reminded me of getting a tattoo 🤔😊Great job.

I had no idea it was that easy or that so few tools were needed!

Not sure why this was recommended to me but was worth the watch. Great video, very clear instructions :D

A tandy employee recommended their green polishing compound and i was shocked at how well I was able to sharpen my swivel knife. you don't need much polishing compound and it gets sharp very quickly. I recommend this green compound. I t is way better than the white jeweler's rouge. It is a little more expensive, but the results it produces as well as less time sharpening is worth the money.

Extremely enjoyable!

Really helpful! My first project has to be a quiver for my son so this has given me the confidence to get it done!
