Hey Everyone! We've been reading a lot of comments that we should make a watch collection vid - fair warning, it's mostly just old Seikos and stuff. But do you want me to bang out a quick video going through my collection? I don't have a problem if a few folks wanna nerd out, I didn't think when Is tarted wearing my watches in videos this year you'd be so interested! Let us know, if you want to see a quick tour I'll get it done :) 

Yes!

I don't care, you do you bb

Yall loved Melissa's first video making the van panel for our baguette video - she just put out the second video making the cat panel! Go check it out and give her a follow if you want to see some really good, accessible tooling videos. We're going to be following along because I think I'd like to finally dip my toes into the tooling pool soon and she's a GREAT educator!

Hey Everyone! Kayleena and I can't thank you enough for all the great support on our Bottlehook video, we had no idea anyone would want to hear more about the business side of things! We're happy to talk business any time, what should we cover first? Let us know of any topics we didn't cover here and we'll share our experience in video at some point. 

When, why and how to patent a design (and if you really need to)

How to have custom metal hardware made (snaps, buttons, etc etc)

How to deal with copycats of your original designs

Automated fulfillment, like Amazon FBA but you control everything

All of the above and more!

Some of you might have been in the leather working game long enough to remember our good friend Mark Coxon, formerly of Thoroughbred Leather - one of our favorite guys in the industry! A few years back he started buying machinery and little by little he's worked his way up to buying out entire machine shops all over the country - it's such a wild business, so much cool stuff. He just started making videos about it and I wanted to share his first one, because he's a good dude from the leather community and this stuff is so cool. Figured some of you might be as into pickin' and junkin' as we are :)

Everybody ready for our first narrated video? This week Kayleena was a bit sick so I had to film the video myself. I've been thinking about it for a while and I've wanted to do some process videos, so this week we're tackling how to design your own leather projects in order to make your own patterns. The video's going to be like a half hour long and it's a whoooole lotta talking from someone who's never spoke on video, hopefully it's ok! what other topics would you like us to cover in this new series?

A highly detailed and extremely technical sketch from this week's upcoming video ;) ...aiming for the most sturdy shaving kit we could make, all 5-6oz veg tan and solid brass trim. Should be a good one!
