Great video. I wanted to add a leather accent to a piece I am working on, and looked for a short video on tooling and casing. You are short and to the point.

Thanks!

These are great videos for a beginner like me to start out with. I thank you for your time and effort in bringing this information to us.

You don't do tooling on a cutting or poundo board. You do tooling on a granite slab.

@italia300 @italia300 OK, fair enough I see your pint about the description - I missed that. But the title states that you should, not how.

But wow, I mean look at you with your latin. amazing...breathless.

My best? I wasn't trying to insult you like a 12 year old, I just thought you were being one and making that clear. I feel your last post with all this high and mighty crap just reinforces my opiion of you.

You'll be comparing me to hitler next...

This is verbatim.. " Learn how to avoid this in this free video series."

LOL grow up..... seriously... "dick".. thats the best you could do... LOL

I leave this kind of feedback because thats what this comment area is for.

This way the creators of the video know where they need to correct the information. Now everyone can see just how you use your free time... poor thing.. its not your fault, you probably dont get much attention anywhere else.

I forgive you!

Have a nice day!

No it does not, if it stated "avoiding" then you would have been correct. Stop being a dick. Good videos! thanks!

this video's description indicates that you can learn how to avoid over casing your leather... I saw no such information!
