5 things you need to start selling your leather work 

And 50 thousand people watched this video and I’m sure only about 10 will become successful. Be that 10!

Parker, you nailed it! Honestly speaking I’ve been wondering where to begin with my craft. Felt a little embarrassed and lost. You brought it home, bud! BIG thank you! You are a positive and talented community and company guy! Big hug right back at y’all!

5:56 Don't use not having good gear as an excuse... So good!

Starting to move your videos into some of the stuff I want to talk about. Super inspiring, keep on killing it.

Great content even years later. I'm a disabled vet, also have a business degree and did that while I could. So now I'm doing leather work and considering making a business. All of the little things that go into being successful is holding me back. So time will tell whether I can mentally handle it. Thanks for good info

I'm moving from silversmithing into leather crafts and this video has really inspired me. You made my day!

Perfect. Sending this to my daughter, just starting her business.. was a buyer for 37 years, so I’ve seen it all. A great presentation, EVERYONE should watch it.

I agree 100%. My favorite advice was about tapping into your interest community. That is key. Know who your customers are. Excellent video.

Watched this video and it helped me pull the trigger on my Etsy shop! Three months in and 6 sales, thanks for giving me that final push. I thought about it for a year but this helped me decide to do it. Mountain Native Studio :) (From Utah living in Las Vegas)

I love watching your videos. You are so full of life and enthusiasm it’s impossible not to like you. Your leather craft is fantastic. I got started in leather craft a few months ago and I’m having a blast. Best regards, Richard

Just WOW Ron! Media AND your beloved craft! You got it goin' on!

Great tips, really appreciate them. Next video topic suggestion... would love to see a second part talking about info on how to register a business, name, brand, images.. etc...

Thank you bro!!! I needed to hear that!!! This does. Not only to complete my knife works. But I truly love This?!!! I wish I hadn't wasted my life trying to find what I truly love! I love this community. Everyone that I've met or spoken to loved sharing with me. You definitely drive my passion bro.. You and the Sarge! Are my teachers! Thanks so much for your passion and your valuable time! You rock!!!

You have the best attitude my friend. Keep it up. Enthusiasm is contagious. 👍

All great advice. But what also goes a long way, that NOT everyone has, is a charismatic personality. That is what you definitely have and are very engaging with your audience. Not everyone has that “umpf”.

The money I spend in buckles button's zippers leather etc. Is more than the market value of the finished product . Even if I don't charge for my time .

Great video mate. You’re a natural in front of the camera and I love your products. I’m feeling rather…inspired! 👍🏻

Thank you for making this video parker. It will help out a lot!

This month I am hoping to finish set up my own leather craft business, I have my prototyping phase starting tomorrow (actually building final prototypes). I was web designer so website will not be much of a problem, paperwork and learning how businesses work in my country taxes-wise and I'm set...and this advice is priceless. Thanks for sharing so much!

Great video-lots of helpful tips! One thing I’ve always wondered about in regards to self-run business is, what do you do about problem customers? Like ones who try to return everything they buy, or use/abuse the product and return it...then go online and leave bad reviews all over the place. Know what I mean? I’m just getting into leather crafting and hope to, someday, turn a hobby into a second career, but, dealing with folks like that seems a little overwhelming.

Great tip! Thank you. Love your work and presentation. I am an engineer in oil and gas company. I also have a leathercraft hobby and start selling it about 4 years ago. Sometimes in the weekend i woke up early just to finishing some leather wallet. I am a sony lovers too, i use sony a7 and voigtlander 40mm. Since my daughter growing up, i am no longer have time to do leathercraft. But watching your video make my inner passion back. Thank you again.

This has to be my favorite angel that you have shot this far for your vlog. Love it!

Thanks man! this is so inspiring. The possibilities to create things are almost endless ...

Wife and I are just in the initial stages of spinning up a crafting business (leather, jewelry, laser engraving, etc), so this video came at a great time. I've done startups before (mostly music/AV production related), but tangible goods is a whole different game. Your points helped sift out some of the chaff and focus on some highly relevant tasks that will definitely make a difference. Thanks!

Amazing vid. Thank you. Been working on turning our high end costume replica and prop and accessories, including custom leather. Been struggling trying to find that balance as I build the brand and also get a competitive price point. This vid reinforced a lot of the things I've known I've needed to do and helped with some pricing info so thank you.

Just starting out on this venture my skills are limited at this stage and collaborating with my son with his carving is gonna be a monster mix so fingers crossed here we go 🤞

This might be my favourite leather working that I've ever watched, yet it includes no leather work!

Great useful information in this one. I've been Leather crafting as a hobby/2nd income for about 4 years. Not quite ready to take it full time yet but this video gave me a lot to think about for when I do go full time. Thanks.

You’re a cool, smart and very likable dude. Fantastic advice here, man! Keep it up, you is a valuable resource!

Really good information and great presentation. Thanks for sharing

Love your stuff brother. I know this old video but some great ideas here for someone like me, who is just getting into the leather making game!

Love your work. Love your energy. Love your advice. Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you for the tips, I am new to working with leather and I have gotten so many great tips from your videos.

Hello from Alaska! Found your channel a while ago but am finally digging in to learn as much as I can from you. Thank you SO much for sharing what you know.. not a whole lot of useful info on the web. Got some cash saved up and looking to build my own leather biz, I make belts but I want to branch out. Thank for the tips!

I appreciate these posts and find you inspiring, and I think you are getting really good at your videos!

Who built your shop/office space? What did it cost? How did you customize it? Love the channel. Thanks

Great Video. Great Info. Got cracked up at 14:11

I just have an etsy store, been on a hiatus as well, but during my time on my shop i would keep track to see what was being searched/trafficked, what time of year things were selling well or being looked up for. The only thing personally is the last point you brought out lol.. I suck at keeping up to date on Instagram and Facebook. When I do post on IG I'll get like 2-3 followers and then lose them the next day or two cuz I didn't upload anything.

seriously loving this channel

Great video! I love the info. you are sharing. It is very encouraging! I'm a camera geek too. ( Canon EOS 80-d ;P) I really do ;love that you are so open about your work. I know there are many leather workers out there who have intentionally tried to lead me astray, being that I'm new to this media. I've been a seamstress since middle school. And cooked since elem. school. I've tried 100's of things. But, have gotten bored by many things except the few I've mentioned. I have a son who is online a lot who has had people discouraging him from trying new things.( Things they profit from.) In my opinion, people like you make the world go round! There will always be a different way of doing things. Noone is going to make the exact same wallet, bag etc...unless they are into mass production. And even then there will be little differences. Keep up the good work! Your encouragement will always help someone! And that indeed is an amazing thing!

Great video for us leathercrafters. I'm sure your outgoing and engaging personality help you sell a lot of your goods. Keep up the good work.

Hey buddy. Love the videos. Keep them coming. I really admire your work. From a fellow leather guy.

Great advice….. thanking for sharing…

So glad I found your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's so incredibly helpful! And your leather work and photos, wow! Stunning!

This is a really great video. You're very energetic and knowledgeable.

Awesome video once again struggling getting my leatherwork off the ground and you have provided me with a bible of tips

Very helpful indeed. Really liked all of the videos that you are making. I'm learning a lot. Keep it up Sir.

Wholesome. I like it!

I’m just starting out on the business side of things with very little money. My philosophy is that as long as I keep making and selling I can build up from there. I refuse to believe I need a business loan!!

Thanks for this!! Please make more videos like this.

Great, useful and very inspirational information.

This is a fantastic video. Great content, great quality, great presentation. You’re great at this. Your products look great too.

I don’t have a foresight of Jewish prophets or claims to be one ☝️, but l can say l smell a great successful life, just from the way you talk and treats your fellow human! By just hearing you and your family! Stay humble to family and grounded like you are now!

Killing it man! Great video I can't wait to get better at photography.

Awesome thanks just what ive been looking for

Very informative , thanks , your attitude and energy are great

Have you ever been so overwhelmed with to much work and to little time to produce it in a timely fashion? If so, how do you get around this issue in order to keep everyone happy and preventing your customers and potential new customers from heading to another competitor/ supplier?

Thanks for all the tips, I'm just beginning to get started in the leather craft. I would like to eventually work up to a business.

Thanks parker.. this video help me a lot!

Amazing content brother! Thank you very much for all of the great advice, I really appreciate it! Keep up the great work.

Absolute gold!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man !

Great video. Very thorough. Thank you for the info.

Great Video! Thanks for the Excellent Advice.

Beautiful video! Thank you!

You are so inspiring!

You don't have to get into the details , but how many of the "add-ons" did you have to add to get your website how you wanted it. Just trying to get an idea of how much over the $29 a month I'm looking at for my paintings. Thank you.

Very informative- thanks! Learned a lot here!

Thanks man, really inspiring. Blessed

That's right! Listen up because that's like giving you a bag of gold coins for free. Just do it! What do you have to loose?? -zone34

Inspiring & Informative... 👌👍🙏🏻... Thanks...

Quality info 👍👍

Your videos are solid gold mate, thank you! How did you get into leather work and what did you do before you started S&B? Cheers, Pete.

Can I ask why you record in 1080. Isn't RU-vid only 760?

Love that great! information, because I didn't know what website to use to advertise on. So I will be getting in contact with them. Thank You very much. Marie Utley,

Great video and advice! thank you!

I did subscribe to your channel just for this single video, honesty eh? I like you :) tnx for fantastic experience sharing and information!

great tips

i really like your website theme can you please tell me what the name of it thanks

how do we ship our products to the end customer bro ?

I’m confused. That pricing equation doesn’t add up. Say it’s about $24 for 1 sq ft of leather which could make a simple bifold wallet, and then include your thread and whatever else you use to make it, and then you add your time, let’s just say 3 hours @ $15/hour which would be $45, and then multiple all that by 2 to get your wholesale, that would be $140 for wholesale...then you times that by 2 to get your retail??? $280 for a wallet?? Can someone help me explain this because Stock and Barrel price their retail wallets at $57 or $58

It helps that you’re naturally charming, mijo! 😄
