    I'm just about to begin doing this as a retirement hobby. I think I've gained more knowledge with two of your videos (so far) than a stack of books I purchased. You're very generous sharing your knowledge. I feel like I should be paying tuition.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us , Sir . I have found in the time I have spent on this old Rock that when people become successful in their work, they don’t give away anything they can get that Almighty dollar with . You on the other hand are giving away patters for others to use . You are to be commended for your graciousness . I enjoy your videos and learn quite a lot from them . Thank you again Sir .

    don, your video is very interesting, you may not have a professional camera crew, proper lighting, clean slab of marble, sensitive microphone or a very unique technique but i really like the way you explain WHY you do things, rather than how you do them, i just hit that subscribe button :)

    Thanks Don,
    Great job on showing basket stamping. Thanks for sharing your leather crafting knowledge and wisdom. I'm a new bee to leather craft and appreciate skilled craftsmen showing the public some very helpful techniques. As for me, you can teach an old Dog a few new tricks, (as in an ol' "Devil Dog").

    For diagonally basket stamping a belt, scribe a straight center line like you normally would if you were doing a straight basket stamp. Then do your first line of basket stamp by putting the bottom left foot of the stamp on the line you scribes as well as the top right foot making the correct angle. Then follow that the whole way down the belt. Much faster and easier than marking diagonal lines

    I hate making belts. I do very few now. Folks give you their pants size instead of belt size, the use a smaller or bigger belt buckle.....any number of things, but they rarely fit. Names on the back are nearly always off center.... You would think something as simple as a strap to go around your middle would be easy, but I have messed up more belts than anything else I've ever made. I basket stamp at an angle exactly the way you showed with that ruler.

    I used to work in aerospace as a biological engineer, have degrees in both. I worked my way through college working in a metal shop. Making lines at odd angles is easier using a decent protractor. I have a protractor that I can scribe lines at many different degrees and easily repeat them. It's General Protractor and costs about $10 to $15. You don't need a precision one that measures 1 second of 1 minute of 1 degree. LOL

    Don, very well done. I am just getting started carving/stamping leather and I have a question. I noticed most say to put tape on the back of the leather to stop stretching when stamping. I have made a couple Archery arm guards, do these need tape on the back. I have tried packing tape but it pulls the fibers when you take it off, I tried painters tape and it wasn't as bad. What can I do to make the back smoother after I pull the tape off. Thank you.

    @Kamikaziidare 2 года назад

    Hi Don, please confirm that the poster-board (no idea how thick that is or what it is called in South Africa) is used to prevent distortion and stretching? How do you paste it to the back, double sided tape, contact glue? Then out of the previous question, do you leave it there or remove it, as I don't normally line my belts?
