    That's something I've struggled with. Good to see your tips and some options I haven't considered! I'd like to see another wet molding video with more ideas in the near future.

    Merci, j'adore la façon dont tu dédramatises le moulage du cuir sans se prendre la tête avec des recettes compliquées, juste un peu d'imagination et de bon sens. Et surtout sentir la vie et les possibilités de la matière. Cela donne vraiment envie. J'ai fait un essai et suis devenu immédiatement fan.
  • Chuck, I just love you. I love your energy, your enthusiasm and your guidance. Thank you so much, for all these great videos.

    Easiest guy to learn from.....hands down.......thank you for these videos!
  • Man, did you just open a whole new world of creativity for me, Chuck. For example, in keeping with your pouch demonstration it occurred to me to enclose all four sides for a shadow box effect. Fasten plexiglas, etc., (Chicago screws), to the flat sides and there you go! Thank you.
  • Thanks Chuck, English is not my native language but I think that you have great communications skills and although you speak fast your diction is perfect and I can understand everything you say without a glitch. Your skills, knowledge and your communications skills makes you a superb teacher best of them all. Keep the enthusiasm and passion spicing all presentations. Thanks again.
  • I love it. Thank you for showing a couple different techniques for molding.
  • @anschuter2013
    This guy is awesome. Yes, love his enthusiasm! Very informative, 2 thumbs up!
  • That is so helpful. The method I was about to try was much more complicated and the results looked the same. Brilliant! Thanks from the UK
  • @alanrouse8301
    Thanks for the tips. I do most of what you showed except my fingernails are a little long and I have messed up some stuff. Haven't ever used the frame , but will try it. After i trim my nails! Always nice to "see" you.
