Another awesome video from THE 'BOB ROSS' of leathercraft - Chuck Dorsett!!!!!! Love your positive attitude!

Chuck, thank you and Weaver for these videos. I have learned so much from you as I begin my journey into leather crafting. It was because of these video that I placed my first order from Weaver this morning. I’ve purchased from a somewhat local Tandy store but wanted to give Weaver a try, at least in part as a “thank you” for all of your teaching.

Been awhile.Vacation?Thanx for the info.Quality of my leather work has improved noticeably since I started watchin' ya. 👍

Chuck you just got a Home Run! Very nice. Best regards, Richard

Simple tool but there is always something you come up with that makes me think of a project I can use it on. Thanks

Ohh, I learned some helpful things here. Thanks Chuck 🎉🎉

Chuck is awesome!

A wing divider is essential in my shop. I use it on almost every project. Thanks for another great video Chuck. Also, I'm not sure if I have mentioned it yet or not, but I love the cover of the maker's guide. The graphic arts is great with your hard head cracking the table top. Awesome.

Thanks Chuck. That was informative.

Excellent tool. Use it all the time for marking out, measuring circles and arcs and even stitch lines!

Thanks Chuck. Another very helpful set of useful tips.

Thanks Chuck I learned a few things from this one I had never thought about great video.

Leather element idea? This might be a dumb question - forgive the newbie! I am wondering how to set the proper order of operations when it comes to burnishing, punching, dying, tooling, etc..

Just a comment to keep the algorithm going. 👍🏻

Thank you for the video.

I'd say a wing divider is an essential leather craft tool. I use mine every day and it doesn't cost very much

Gracias 👍

Idea here. I always have a hard time trying to figure out a good way to keep my shop cleaned and organized. Was wondering if there can be a video on how to maintain good shop organization and cleanliness.

Thank you for the suggestion! We will add this to our list of possible future video projects.

Hi Chuck! I really enjoy these videos...I've learned a bunch of new techniques! Recently, I was "gifted" a box from an attic, and found several rolled up pieces of leather. Looks like maybe sides. Anyway, the leather appears to have dried out over the years. Is there any way to "re-hydrate" these pieces? I'd hate to just throw them away...

I use my Wing Divider on round edges a lot more then the edge tool. Using the edger on rounding edges is tough to get it accurate.

Leathercrafters, what is the one Chucks Tip that you wish you knew earlier in your leather career?

To answer my own question, I am brand new, and the one tip I wish I had not ignored was the use of Grip Tape on my ruler and square. I am a large, pretty strong guy, and didn't think I would have any problem holding the square down to prevent the leather shifting while I was cutting it, WRONG! Buy grip tape! lol
