As a newcomer to leatherwork I find this mans helpful advice invaluable and without people such as Chuck to advise us we are incompetent at this art,so please Chuck ,please keep teaching us the correct procedures .
Love these videos, but you guys need to invest in that second camera for the closeup shots.

and talk a little slower
I pressed play and I looked away to grab a snack while still listening... and for a moment I wasn't sure if I was watching Weaver Leathercraft or America's Most Wanted with John Walsh lol. Great content, thank you for the wisdom!
First time I burnished an edge I over pressed and rolled the edge a bit. Luckily it was for a 1,1/4 inch tooled strap bracelet and the effect of a rolled edge beside a deep groove line actually added a really nice 3d bordering effect around the tooling. Sometime mistakes are lessons, sometimes they're a great addition!
The embodiment of what all KZread videos should be: clear, concise, informative, no BS, straight to it and wow crammed full of 100% immediately useful and relevant information. Outstanding presentation! I won't show you any of my projects over the decades, but I've made hat bands and belts and wallets and holsters and knife sheaths and purses...all functional but they won't win any blue ribbons. Can't wait to see what other videos you have!
I cant stop watching this
I learned leather-crafting from my mother and have been doing it for years. Weaver makes excellent tools, but more than that, Chuck your videos are always such a pleasure to watch. Thanks for all you do.
This guy eats leather and drinks espresso, and I love it. Good video!
Great video! Can't wait to get started
You gotta love this guy! ❤️🙋🏼♀️ thank you!
Awesome Tips 🇺🇸 as always 👌
Very Informative. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.

For a newbie this is gold. Thanks.
Thanks for the great tips, Chuck. I'd like to begin leather crafting, and I'm experienced enough to learn from the mistakes of others when I take on new tasks or hobbies.
Thanks for sharing, Chuck
Definitely worth watching. Your videos will help me take my past meager workmanship to new levels.
Thank you !! Wonderful tips! 🙂🌸❤️
Thank you for making this video, over all the years in worked on leather, I have committed every sin you pointed out, lol! Looking forward to your next video.
Great tips! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. Very informative. I appreciate no fluff.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
I like this guys energy.
I love your videos Chuck. Just spent more than I should of at your shop & eagerly waiting for it to arrive here in Australia. 👍
This is very helpful! Touched on several mistakes ive been making, time to go make something with my new knowledge!
Every time I enjoy watching your tutorial videos. Thank you. Very clean , fast & useful. This is a great opportunity to know you man. God Bless 🙏👍
Love these kinds of videos. I was a moderately skilled leather worker 20 years ago, and I'm returning to it now.... much of it is like riding a bike, but there's just as much (or more) of these basic skills which are totally lost on me. I never did figure out edge slicking, even way back when.... and it's still a little bit of magic for me now, so I'm looking forward to trying out your tips from this video.
Quick,concise,informative👍👍
Wow that was the most concise video I've seen in a while and I learned a lot
Again, a great informative video Chuck, I should have watched this first, I now recognise a few of my mistakes.
Good stuff as always, thanks Chuck! Man, I wish I’d known even half of what I’ve learned from The Leather Element back when I was first starting out.

Kevin Noll exactly, and the previous guy at my local national chain store (I don’t want to mention names, but it’s initials are “Tandy Leather”😂) would just sell me what I needed in order to do what I wanted to accomplish, but refused to tell me how to use it. As far as I could figure, he wanted me to attend their weekend “classes” so I’d have to buy more materials, just to learn a technique. That would have taken me decades, and I’m no spring chicken. KZread in general, and Chuck with these Leather Element videos in particular have helped speed up my learning curve immeasurably.
These were very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for those tricks, Chuck. Truth be told, I've done those mistakes many times.
Useful video. Thanks!
I wish I'd seen this before my first project.
Thank you for all Notes and warnings
Thanks for the helpful tips! This'll help a lot as I'm endeavoring in my leather work.

Done all of these but the beveled into the hand, hopefully this keeps me from doing it. Thanks for the tips and the video!
Great tips! Thanks for another excellent video.

Great tips
I’d like to hang out and have a beer with this dude. Always great info.
Thanks for the info, I really like your videos Chuck, a trick I picked up with removing stubborn screws is with a side cutter, just replace the screw afterwards
Great tips, thank you!!
thank you for this and your other vids!
Good stuff man,.... Thanks for improving my game Chuck!!
I did leather carving as a teen and at 60 I am getting back into leather working due to your videos. I was addicted to watching you create that beautiful holster and now am obsessed with the craft. Weaver didn't have several of the tools I wanted (67-6970, 67-6976, 67-6978, 67-6982); therefore I am on the Email notify list. I intend to eventually acquire all the tools needed for real leathercraft (to make a holster, boots and one day a saddle). Thank you very much for your well done, informative videos.
Jeff from Jersey here! Thank you it did help.
Great tips! I'm guilty of too many of those.
Saw the title and knew I had to watch. Great video. The production and information were both top notch. Little things like remarking that the camera would not pick up a detail then describing it to us were very professional. These were all things I did not know. Thanks.

Thanks again.
You have made some great tutorials 👌
Thanks for Knowledge!
Tnx for advices...I'm new in this gorgeous world of leather :)
Hello Chuck. I have jumped my box cutter slightly and taken a small sliver off the side of my straight edge. Now I use a piece of quarter inch square steel bar as my straight edge. Works great.
Thanks Chuck!

Enjoyed the video, did similar mistake with the beveled edge too wet, then slicked, and ended up mushrooming the edges. Yep, have to let them dry a bit. Thanks Chuck
This was a great video...huge help. Done most of these mistakes😉
Thanks for the great content!
These were some great tips. I see what I was doing wrong all this time and yes I used a few bandaids. Thanks so much for all the tips. I definitely like your style of teaching. Keep it up.
