Thanks so much Don for taking the time to share these videos. I'm sure that it's enough work just to actually run your business, so taking the time to share this info with the rest of us is really gracious of you. I've been told that many of the "old-timers" often used to cover up their work when folks came into their shop so that they could protect the tricks-of-the-trade. Thanks for being willing to "uncover" your work in order to help pass along this craft to other aspiring leatherworkers. :)
You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Pierce Ryker Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Got my purse kit, and working on it. Now Im trying to learn tooling. Taking a Tandy class in a couple of weeks. In the mean while, Ive watched several You Tube videos with several other artist. I love your style and instructions best. Far above all others for me. Thanks for your time in making these videos possible for me and others to learn from.
I can’t thank you enough for the tips re: type of paint brush, which side of the line to bevel etc. using each of your advice has truly done wonders for me. My goal is to get better and better, following you and your advice will help me to improve. Thanks again
As I’m watching you work, I am admiring the nice burnished colour your getting from your tooling. I’m sure it’s a combination of casing the leather properly, how hard your hitting the leather, and how deep your swivel cuts are into the leather. Is there a ‘magic’ formula/technique that you use, or was it just something you develop by feel ?
Do you use the 45 size bar grounders for tooling belts or do you use a smaller size. I am wanting to by a set from Barry king but he recommends the size 27 or 30 for belts. Any advice would be appreciated
Hello Don, New into the craft, and haven't even hit the first tool yet! Quick question on the tool roll you have your tools in. what is it, and where did you get it? How many tools does it hold, and is how you typically house your tools? I thought about making a block to hold you tools vertical in the holes facing up, but the roll idea is an interesting and simple solution. Thoughts? Thank you for all the inspiration. Great work, Amazing channel.
don, just found the channel. subscribed. one question/request. seems like you have about 25 or so punches there. im just getting started in leatherwork and have already spent hundreds of dollars on about 50 punches, and still never seem to have the right one. can we get a list/video of what ones you have/recommend?? also, semi related, do you buy or make your own? all mine are bought, but ive bought duplicates of some and ground them down smaller for small spaces, however, ive never done a "custom" one.
It doesn't matter the name I'm going to watch it no matter what you name it,but if you want to change it shop briefing works, I'm going to watch no matter what.
Thanks for the tip, I guess I’ll stop making hamburger now that I see how it’s supposed to be done lol. I am a pretty good cook though stop by my channel and get a recipe in trade for your tip haha ,,,

Great tutorial. Can't wait to get back at some bargrounding.
Thanks Mr. Don! I'll definitely be getting a couple bargrounders. Appreciate the vid!
ShaneP u betcha brotha!
Amazing Don, you make it look a lot easier. I've been practicing the bargrounder but seem to keep overlapping a little too much in my opinion
Thanks Don, as usual you explain so well.
Thanks Don, you always have great advice!
Very helpful, I "was" struggling with this.
I've never heard of it, shows what I know. Thanks again. G-G Oh that's what them is. I got one or two.

Thanks, Don. Big help to this novice.
Love your videos. Do you use the same sized bar grounder on a belt? Thanks
Great stuff - thx for doing this
How do you keep your bar grounder from plugging up?
Very informative. Thanks
Excelente 👍👍👍
Great video! Thank you so much

Great tip, however what do you use to get white when dying colors ?? I use various dyes, afraid to use acrylic paint for fear it will crack ?? Thanks
I use angelus paints and don’t have issues of cracking... I thin with water.
Thanks Don

Which tool is the bar grinder? I cant find anything by that name. I need the #5.
It’s a Barry king bar grounder... I would recommend a #5 and a #3
Awesome! Thank you! Do you have any classes planned? I would love to take one.
Gracias Señor
