My dying area is about the size of the area you’re using here. I have an old metal cookie sheet (my wife throwing out) with a piece of packing paper taped to it. I knocked a bottle of dye over while working. The pan’s lip kept the mess contained and I was able pour most of it back in the bottle. I hope this helps anyone watching.

The “good luck with your project” is motivating and it sticks

Good thing he didn't conclude with 'i hope you dye very soon!' :D love chuck's enthusiasm!

This guy is killin me! I love his personality. It makes watching these videos that much more entertaining!

Chuck, you are making my life so much easier!!! Thank you for these videos!! I haven't found any other leather company supplying such great tutorials/how to's. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

It took me about 10 seconds to realize that this was going to be a great video! I love the energy, the explanations and the vibe. Thank you!

Well done Chuck!, your enthusiasm and passion for leather craft are inspiring!

Doesnt that look fantastic! Love your "6 ways to,,," series. Shows how versatile leather working is and how much fun you can have experimenting.

I've worked with leather sense the 1970s when my Dad was a shoe repairman, but I found this video interesting. I just never dyed much leather. You are a good teacher.

I have to thank you. Your videos have gotten me interested in leather working again. Your enthusiasm shows, and is appreciated.

Hey Chuck, love your “Leather Element” series. I first started working with leather about 1956, while I was in the Boy Scouts. It has been one of my favorite hobbies ever since. I still learn every time I watch you. Great Job. I want to be in the running for the leather. Thank you so much. Chuck Arkon

I love how cheerful and excited yiu always seem to be. I also really enjoy your videos. Recently ordered a grade c double shoulder that you had on sale, looking forward to using it. Thinking about doing your bracers project with it. This was really helpful as I've not tried dying yet. If you haven't done a leather element on resists yet, it'd be really helpful.

Thank you so much from an absolute beginner. I am doing leather jewelry (cuffs, embroidered bracelets, earrings) and am learning as I go. It is a wonderful pleasure to see you do these great videos, plus you are giving me so many ideas. And as always, a growing shopping list I need to practice techniques as my craft inventory grows.

Thanks so much for this video. I’m a long haul trucker so my ‘shop’ is literally in the cab of my truck. I always seem to get a splotchy finish with my dye but I tried dip dyeing with the Fiebings pro and it’s perfect. Fast, no big mess and consistent. I just got an order for a dozen pouches and this process was so fun I made another 6 just for kicks and giggles! Thanks for teaching this old dog a new trick.

Hey Chuck, thanks for teaching the different dye techniques. I found it VERY helpful for the type of work I do. (Mostly small Harley Davidson dash pieces). I am looking for a more consistent application and I am going to try the dip dye technique. VERY INFORMATIVE, Keep them coming!!!!

Helpful video! I'd love to see a video demonstrating the use of dyes to change the color of leather that's already been dyed. This could a discussion of the drawbacks and problems with doing this as well as how to make a color change successful. What preparation must be done to the leather beforehand? What happens when changing from a dark color like black to a color like green or red?

"they're getting a very inexpensive gift card this Christmas" brilliant! Thanks Chuck.
