    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 .

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
