    Aaron I like your videos and have learned quite a bit from you. I bought my Cobra 26 from you and I can highly recommend you and your shop to anyone looking for quality tools. You have been an awesome instructor and I watch as many videos as I can. I can assure you that I will be buying more tools and leather from you, as funds free up from other obligations. I have my eye on several of your acrylic templates.

    Thanks Aaron. Very grounding and insightful. I grew up in Fort Worth and though I was involved with leathercraft, I never really appreciated the fact that Tandy was right there and all the resources I needed were there consequently. Now that I'm getting back into the art, and am living in Houston, I appreciate the people and the helpful attitudes. Thanks again.
    I've learned a lot from your videos, primarily because they aren't heavily edited. They are calming and zen-like.

    I’ve been into leather Crafting for going on 2 years. I started while working in law enforcement and I wanted to get into a hobby that would keep me occupied after I retired. My first project was a new sheath for an old K-Bar hunting knife. Looked like hell but I was proud of it. My 2nd project was a holster, which also looked like hell lol. I brought it to work to show my buddies and one asked me to make one for him and he paid me for it. That when it started. I’ve been hooked ever since and I’ve watched every leather Crafting video on RUclips that I can find. And over that time I’ve seen good craftsmanship and ok craftsmanship. And every now and then I see masters working and teaching their craft. You are one of them. Thank you for sharing.
    Also wanted to say that after 4 years in the military and 28 years in law enforcement, this is the best therapy I’ve ever had.

    Aaron, thanks for your service. I, too, am a Vet who took up leatherworking while in the Seabees '72-'76. Unlike you, I didn't continue the hobby after discharge. Life, a career and families got in the way. When I retired a few years ago, I needed something to keep me busy. So, I bought almost everything Tandy had to offer (I have a store less than 2 miles away). Unfortunately, due to some family issues I don't have time to devote to it to increase my business, but hope to as soon as I can complete administering a family member's estate.
    Thanks for the great videos. If I can't do it, at least I can watch you do it, and keep a log of your videos for reference.
    Thanks again for your service.
