@BentleyLeather Your products look good. I’m pretty sure you’d be able to do it. Do you currently sell your products? What platform do you use? By the way you should post your videos on reddit and facebook groups to get more views.

Thank you, I know there is plenty for me to still learn. I do not sell anything or have a site to. A stamp of my logo and a heat press would be nice though!

Yes you should totally get a logo stamp and I would 100% recommend an alphabet set. A lot of people want an embossed name/initials on Etsy. I lost a lot of business because I had this cheap plastic stamp from rmleathersupply that I couldn’t t use. I had to do one letter at a time (it was a nightmare trying to line up names perfectly) and eventually it warped from hammering. I just ordered a brass alphabet set from Hex n’ Hit

A heat press would be amazing. Dream Factory makes a good one (also a clicker press) but it’s expensive.  You can use an arbor press with a heat gun instead if you want a cheaper solution

Hex n’ Hit

I saw the video and I thought it was pretty good except the parts where it blurred out of focus.  But everything else was good if you were going for more of a presentation of how it was made instead of a 'how-to'.  @Abdo I checked out hex 'n hit and was impressed.  Kind of what I am looking for in an alphabet set for the same reasons you noted but it'll have to wait as more practice is in front of me!  

Thanks for sharing!

@JayEhl Thanks for the feedback. I agree, the scene with the needle storage case in particular was blurry. I’ll keep that in mind for next time. Definitely get an alphabet set when you’re ready. It’s kind of expensive but it will pay for itself in the long run

Good luck!!

@Abdo I need to locate a source for a logo stamp. I’ll keep the letter set in mind. I’ve priced a few out. Noticing any more sales yet or to early to tell? 

[Abdo]

@BentleyLeather I think it’s too early. I’m sure it’ll pick up a bit after I receive my letter set.

Growing your channel can be really challenging, but it sounds like you're on the right track by reaching out and asking for feedback. Engagement is key, so keep interacting with your viewers both in the comments and outside YouTube if you can.

Be aware that many names have more than one of some letters so just one alphabet might not be that good but there are sets out there with multiples of the more common letters.
