Leatherwork Videos

I began filming the work that I was doing a while back and making compilation videos in the hope that they would help people, I have since moved on and made some full tutorial videos which are nearly 2 hours long each and cover entire projects from start to finish.

You can simply visit my YouTube channel to see all the videos but there is also an index of videos below.

Donations

These videos are provided on YouTube for free, however if you are a leatherworker and have found them helpful then I would be very grateful if you could send me a small donation as they are hard work to make and take a long time!

Please bear in mind that most people who have made DVDs and so on to sell are charging a lot of money for them, there is a lot of information in the videos below and they are all HD too!

If you would like to donate you can click the Paypal donate button below (you do not need a Paypal account you can also use a card):

There is a short video with details about donating:
