TRIM ALLOWANCE tutorial + which LEATHER WORKING KNIFE I highly recommend 

The right handed knife is intended for right handed people. It allows you to use the knife in a comfortable and natural position which is with a slight camber to the right, yet giving a straight cut through the leather. This goes for using with a rule (plastic really?) as well as free hand, see Terrick's video on the subject ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7xDOuyOHIHM.html

Im so happy to hear that! Thanks for taking the time to share, its really appreciated

Always trying to keep it real baby. Thanks a ton for your kind words and for being here. It means a lot!

Thats the motto. I appreciate you, T.

Thanks my man! The best blade I've ever worked with. Keep killin' it

Thanks for your kind words! I appreciate you watching!

Haha Im glad to hear that! Ill keep them coming, Thanks for watching!

Aah too kind my man. Thanks for absorbing the little knowledge I can offer. Take it all with a grain of salt haha

Stoked to hear that dude! The right handed blade is good if you’re free-handing but if you’re mostly cutting against the ruler edge go with the left 🤙🏻

I love hearing that! I cant take myself seriously as an instructor so I have to talk like Im explaining bro-science, haha. Thanks so much for watching!

I appreciate that! Im glad to hear it helped! Thanks for following and watching, it means a ton.

too kind my man. You fuel the motive to keep these comin! I think a skiving vid would be awesome! I have a few crazy techniques that could help. Thanks for the suggestion!

Im printing this comment to frame in my living room. Also, I hope this video is what led you into the RU-vid suggested black hole of Australian commentators reviewing wild animal attacks.

I still feel like Im in the wanna-be stage at times. Its a huge learning process but thats what keeps things exciting. Thanks for watching!

you're too rad. I appreciate it!

YEEESS! Stoked to hear that! Thanks for watching my man

Thanks man. Super motivating to her that. I appreciate it!

My reasoning EXACTLY. Hahaha

Of course! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!

Yea its a common issue with little addressing. Im glad the vid could help! Thanks for watching

Isn't the custom skiving glass sooo rad?? Totally unnecessary yet totally awesome.

Oh, yeah. I should use it more.

Sounds like well be making an edge finishing vid!

@@LowTideLeather Looking forward to it my man!

Im so stoked to hear that! Thank you so much for watching. Im glad to hear the wierdness can coexist with the educational theme of these haha. As for the camera q's here's my basic setup: -Sony A6400 -Takstar Shotgun Mic -Neewer LED panel -Godox SL-60w video light -Final Cut pro editing software Im veeeery new to all this so this may not be the best equipment but it works for now. Hope that helps!

Oh wow! Yes! And thank you for the info. It works amazingly for you. Thank you, thank you! (You have the quietest neighbors! Ha)

Thanks dude!

Im so glad it could help! Ive talked with a lot of leather workers that experience this problem. Hopefully you and others can save some money. The trim allowance isnt for everyone, but its definitely my preferred method of edge finishing

Thank you Terry!

You're the man Austin. Ill always save front row seating for you.

work cool. much good

love it! That sounds like a perfect vid. Ive been thinking I need to do one on leather thickness and firmness. Thanks for the suggestion!

Greatest Of Amateur Time, right? haha

My favorite blade! South African love baby

Thanks Phil!! I do use an edge bevel. Im going to make a video on how I do my edge finishing process as soon as I can!

Thanks Jan! If I had to choose my top 3 unsexy parts of the biz I would probably say the inconsistent nature of selling handmade products, the discouragement that comes from it, and being overwhelmed by managing EVERYTHING. The physical and legal aspects are manageable. Its the emotional ones that get ya. I wouldn't say I've totally overcome them, however once I stopped comparing myself and my work to other makers, I gained a ton of confidence that makes it way less discouraging. Ive accepted that dry-spells with sales are just part of retail, and to not take it personal. Stay busy during those slow weeks. As for managing everything, im still trying to figure that out, haha. Thanks for the Q! Hope that helped

Excellent answer, spoken like a true entrepreneur!

Go get em' baby

I actually buy them from Make Supply. If I tried to make my own they would definitely look awful haha

oof, few comments give me chills. That was one of them. Lets keep the fingers crossed!

I have really liked water based glues over the contact cement because its less messy, thinner and the fumes are pretty strong with the cement. Both are great for adhering leather, I just prefer the water based glue. I use Aquilim 315

Hahaha the only joints I’m smokin in this vid are my wrist joints

@@LowTideLeather cool, man. I subscribed! ; )

I was about to ask the same thing...but that would've been rude bro

@@youknowwho2716 bro, the only dumb question is the question you don't ask.. i think thats the saying, right??

@@youknowwho2716 I agree with you! it's super rude! lol. but I made a joke like that since I felt he will not take it offensively. you can feel the coolness from his video.

I just use a stropping block with some compound

ok well I definitely need to make that hashtag a thing now haha

ahhh haaaaaail naw B

Real talk B

Its all gravy, dog.
