When I used to do leatherwork demonstrations at shows or in classes this was one of the things I would carve. I made this video a little different than usual because I wanted to show this in real time without speeding up any of the tooling.
I am always working on building something and try to average a YouTube video once a week. Most often leather work, but I have also posted videos on black smithing, knife making, casting, and even how I make soap.
