It is so great to see another man that is not afraid to set down at a sewing machine. I have caught so many jabs for doing the same thing. :-)

sewing is a life skill, life skills are not gender specific, tell anyone who says anything that you're their number one fan!

Anyone can be creative, male or female !!!! Those who make 'fun' of someone it is probably because they are too lazy or don't want to learn the skills that can lead to worthwhile projects. I think it is GREAT that you are creative, sewing and or anyway. Do what makes you happy and I know you take pride in what you do.

Stedhomer 👍 Dottie here bro! I just respond by saying that "Real Men Use Bigger Needles"
I am glad I stumbled across your video. My wife sewed a trapper for me over 30 years ago. I still wear it every winter. One thing I wanted to mention was that she used dental floss to sew it together. I think it's about time for me to make one for her.
that was a GREAT video John.... so nice to see that nothing was wasted..... and there is nothing wrong with a man using a sewing machine, its great to be multi crafted.... I'm sure Buckrun will love his new hat
You done a great job and Uncle Buck should be proud of it and you.
I swear, you tickle me so , I love your videos. My papaw use to make these too. He use to scrap the hind, some kind of direction you had to scrap it, it would make it water proof, but he used some kind of oil too, but I was young and remember very little. But yea we are native decendant, so he knew some old ways, but how ever you get the job done is the best way. I don't care to correct anyone, not everyone is the same. I love your videos though, you are a true loving and caring person. TO ME THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS. Thank you. To measure wealth, is not by money, but by talent, the ability to use what god gave us, and make something beautiful from it and take care of your family. You JOHN are truly the wealthy man I have seen on here.
Hello..that's a good looking hat.great job boss.....god bless James
Looks real nice John a lot of hard work that I bet uncle Buck is going to enjoy.
If this guy is the closest thing his mom has to a daughter imagine how ruggedly tough his brothers are
Watching you make the hat reminded me of making & putting together a leather wallet. Pooking the holes & sewing it was a trip but alot of fun. I put a biker chain on it so when in my pocket I won't loose it & a pick pocket person would be in for a not so nice surprise 😉 I pretty much still looks brand new and I've had it for 8 years. It came as a kit that I got at a Veteran Center for hospitalized Vets.
Don’t be so self deprecating. I’ve watched several of your videos now and each time you say that you aren’t an expert. Yeah you don’t have a fancy title but you have experience, you are still teaching what you know, and what works for you. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing
You can spray the leather with the same stuff you put on your boots to waterproof them, the spray you can put on your tent works good or to redo your umbrella works. Mr. Lynch was act the man who came up with it but the company he worked for of course took the credit. But I always used it on my Army boots and it worked great. As far as sewing goes, you are doing a great job. Whatever way works the best for you and gets the job done I say go for it ! What's wrong with guys sewing? Nothing ! Being creative is great and a great way to honor the animal who gave it's life for you. Use every bit of the animal that you can and don't forget to thank it's sprite. God takes care of His children.
Great job John I know a a lot of work went into that hat.Makes you appreciate our fore fathers and what they had to do to stay warm.
Oh my freakin gosh!!!! That is an incredible fish tank! How have I missed that - I have never seen that before! Amazing - sorry - I just couldnt concentrate on the info you were giving... All I could see was the tank and wishing you'd scoot over so I could see the whole thing! love it!
that is a skill . well done . all the different steps are cool to see fit together... bod bless
Great job, hat turned out beautiful....
Great job, buddy! The hat looks great and I am sure Uncle Buck will get years of great use out of this very functional garment! I have a large Raccoon pelt, Skunk pelt and Badger Pelt...I think they are all going to become hats! I took away some really useful knowledge from some of your techniques. Thanks for making this video! Best, K-Montana!
Men have made some of the best TAILORS!!! What an amazing job!!! I'd love one.
Awesome job Bro... Uncle Buck is a lucky dude !!
Well done. You have a wide variety of skills. You're an amazing man.
Wow, super job. Thanks for showing us the process.
Sooooo awesome. I think i need to make me some Rabbit mittens!
Wonderful video, wonderful hat! I really enjoy the way your sense of humor comes through in your presentations.
Awesome, great to see and a great reward for all the work
that it wonderful! I'd love one of those when I'm out in the woods up here in Canada. Looks good and warm.
Thats awsome mr john.God bless you and your family.
Nice! I am making mukluks and moccasin boots for hubby
Nice Fish tank Jnull - From Australia!
I lived in Alaska for 19 years...seen many of these. and yes they are warm.
Mad skills! Love the hat. I've got a Breville food processor as well. My most favorite kitchen appliance.
Sweet great video! Ilike your fish tank too
A JNull original! Lucky Uncle Buck!
Love the fish tank. I used to have one. Want another one. I love the ambiance. OH, The hats are cool. Thanks for showing us how to make those. Your such a creative dude.
Great Video John!! That is one very cool hat for Uncle Buck!! Thanks for sharing the assembly of the hat! God Bless and Take care!
Awesome seeing hat being made. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking us along. That hat is awesome!
Wow! That was a great demonstration video, and never realized you had to sew them by hand that way!
the video does not do the hat justice- after seeing it in person and feeling the softness of the hat- you can tell just how much work and love went into it- Uncle Buck is gonna love that hat- blessings
That is a great trapper's cap. Outstanding work!
just another talent you have mastered i love the hat good job and uncle buck your one lucky guy!
couldn't stop looking at your reef. I to am a saltwater enthusiast and a farmer
Great job John! It looks amazing!

Awesome hat! You have given me a use for the rabbit skins I will be tanning soon, thanks so much and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Great Job! Nice Hat. Don't really have the need for it in Florida, but still a great use of skills and materials that are your own. Love it!
Good job brother..... looks great. A lot of hours went into that hat.
loved your video. Thank you. Really helpful. Off to make mine in Wintry Scotland
Nice hat! Excellent job!
very nice hat, I am sure Buckrun11 will get many years of use out of this hat. thank you for showing us how you made it.
That is freakn awesome my man. Great job !!!
I learned to sew in 7th grade. I still have granny's sewing machine.
Hey I learned to use a sewing machine becuase i got tired of women not knowing how to sew. I'm not great but it works.
Hello from Canada ! Very proud ! Must’ve took a long time ! Very patient ! I like your channel ! Learning lots
Wow - great job! Davey Crockett would be proud of you!!!
you did a fine job I'm a hunter and I think it's perfect.
This is bad ass. Thank you for sharing.
Great video and great hat too!
WOW WOW WOW...too cool.
Nice job. Cool hat.
True it’s gonna be really warm. I have to repair my trapper hat that I bought with recyclable fur and leather that was made American native designers beautiful but I need to prepare the room. I gotta do some thinking is find me some fur.
Nice job on the hat!! I wear these in the colder parts of the winter, unfortunately the one I have I didn't make myself! All the best to you John.
The whole time I watched your video John, I was thinking of "Grumpy Old Men" and seeing Walter Matthau wearing one of these great hats. :) thanks for sharing buddy. :)

Wow, well done!!
Great job! Such pride in your work. From scratch Awsome. My parents always told me "Put your mind to it you can do anything". My favorite hat. I have one. Not home made but almost as good. Great for in the snow and wind. In Canada I wouldn't be with out one. God Bless. p.s. should put your logo on the peek. .
JNull, I've been a subscriber for some time, and appreciate all you share with us, but MAN you won my heart when I saw you're a sew-ologist as well!! No modern piece of plastic and computer chip machines compare to those old metal machines! Well done!

Also, get yourself a leather sewing machine needle (it has a different piercing tip) and use some heavy thread or even try what you're using by hand. Your machine should handle more of whAt you're doing as long as you go slow.
Great video. I know this was hand crafted for a friend. But this is definately something you could sell for good money. I would recommend you auction one off on ebay and you might be surprised.
Man that's neat. You did a good job
Very nice job!
super kool my friend
I want one! It'll come in handy checking on your chickens in the winter lol!
Awesome job!
That is awesome!
I like your videos man . In it's awesome it's your way in that n the only thing that matters is your way is the best way very simple not to extreme. Lol I'm a native who just started my first Deer hide tanning myself n when u smoked your hide . I did it the same way u did it with safety pins, I'm not a very good sewer . But good videos respect
Nice job DUDE great channel I have learned a lot
Great job!!
You said this is made from animal through to a whole process and then to you head. Would be great if you linked all the videos here and made a series or playlist. Really, a lot of time went into this, and I'd hope if you sell them that you get your monies worth, but even if you don't, I'm sure your getting a lot of appreciation, well wishes, blessings and prayers for it. Thanks for sharing this and great work both here, and in general.
One of the coolest things I've seen.
Looks great
That’s awesome man!
That's totally cool!
I too am a dude who can sew. Love your comments - great work!
That is so cool. I want you keep up the awesome job . I learned a lot of things from watching your video's. Great job =)
Great video! The hat turned out awesome!~Angela
