Leathercraft Masterclass

[scrapyarddog]

It's worth it. I'm at a stage where I can produce better products than most of what's shown in free Youtube leatherwork videos, and from my experience, both Nigel and Philip's paid contents are worth it. If you want to build a solid foundation and you can discern the difference, you'll think what they are charging is quite cheap. What sold me the idea of buying contents is Nigel's class from 2019 in Berkeley because it just answered so many questions I've had since I started in summer 2017, and he gave many simple and clear answers to some questions I'd spent a longtime wondering but received no clear answers online. 

Nigel's Vimeo breaks down very basic techniques into manageable small chunks and gives you ample information on the why's and how's.

Philip's plan videos break down more advanced techniques and shows you step by step how to produce "fancy" leatherwork.

If you're interested in tooling, they are not for you.

If you're happy with just putting 2 pieces of leather together and are impressed by this one Dunhill briefcase video on Youtube, they are also not for you.

If you're interested in foundational skills and knowledge, structure, no nonsense and you want to actually produce higher end English leatherwork, BUY THEIR CONTENT.
