fantastic video, what did you do differently between the leather and the suede hide. Did you work it more on the post on both sides to make it a suede. cheers
really interesting video man, thanks. covering so much without the needless waffling also, im a straight guy.... but damn dude, save some sexy for the rest of us!
you've been making hide processing videos for good four years and still call yourself a beginner. impossible to judge from the video if the craft is really that intricate, though
Interesting to hear and see, Samuel. When I was early teens, one of my dad’s hunting buddies gave me a deer hide. I never thought to go the library (no internet back then) to learn how to tan it, and it eventually started rotting so my dad threw it out. The only thing I had heard about tanning, was from a Native American POV in a fiction story set in the ‘old west’. All I remember is, they used the brains of the animal combined with something else. Well, that led me think I couldn’t do it, and so I never looked further. Makes me wonder how tanning was first discovered, long ago. Thank you for this.
Your skill and craftsmanship in making leather and suede are truly commendable. Your dedication to mastering this art form reflects a deep passion for traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail. And I am a floating village life from Vietnam.
Watch Ron nails videos on brain tanning , the man has a system that works the best I have ever done for soft suppel buck skin hides. Best tip I have for others is when you think your done your not rub some more brains into it an do it again 3 x is usually the magic number for heavy hides. 1 to 2 is. For deer.dont forget to stretch it out and let it sun dry then dry scape the hair side real well .then the Inside till all the crud is gone.
Your dedication to caring for your cabin, especially with your dad, is truly heartwarming and reflects the bonds of family and tradition. It's a beautiful journey of maintenance and memories. And I am floating village life.
What particular tools were you using there? I don’t think I’ve seen a saw blade like that before and I know for sure I’ve never seen a drill bit with a crank handle on it! 😮 Great build though. Useful for any task you’d need to carry lots of items for and probably more efficient than a modern wagon.
This was very enjoyable to watch in addition to teaching me how to make cotter-pins out of wood and use my ax more effectively. Thank you so much for putting in the time😊
Just got recommended this video and i gotta say i like the vibe of it alot, your other videos were cool but this one was longer and more personal, interesting seeing around your land... and its funny as fuck when for example 3:00 you scream into the camera "i like this spot.. right here" lol no context then the video just cuts lol idk man videos got character keep it up
