Got to say. JLS has supplied and continues supply free patterns for his work and gives freely of his time and advice. When I first started leather work JLS was a huge and positive influence for me on this site and in the chat room when it was operational.

If I was out of line I apologize!  I just get a little upset when people start knocking other people’s work or efforts.  Some of us just appreciate others efforts.  So JLS I apologize to you for being out of line.  I am sure JLS is a very talented and nice person, so please forgive me

Don Gonzales has just completed a 4 part series on his YouTube channel

I have watched a number of his videos, but had not seen this one yet.  Just watched the first one on 1.5x speed, and I can GUARANTEE he just took my tooling to the next level.   Might be simple stuff for some, but for those of us who haven't really seen great tooling in action, this stuff is gold.  Thanks for putting this out there!

Actually, I thought of you when I watched part of it.  He got some great examples of "not here" goin on there.  Check out his scrolls -- on the left and right, about vertical center...

IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

Yeah, I imagine so, lol.

I also imagine Barry King is going to sell out of some of his tools on account of this video.

Nothing wrong with Craftsmen endorsing Craftsmen. :whistle:

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

I'm not a carver, I'm a stamper! Haven't done any carving at all, but did watch Don's videos and thought I'm bored, hey why not give it a try? I don't have half the tools he recommends, don't even have a flower center, lol. I have been doing leather for many years and consider myself fairly good. Any way just for a laugh here is my take on this pattern. I'm not going to buy any more carving tools because I don't really enjoy carving. Not looking for corrective criticism because I won't be doing this again for a while. That all said Don's a pretty good teacher.
