Forget about the Ghosts, beware of the White Spirit Wolf

Beaver News #41 – October 31, 2016
In this week’s Video, we wanted to talk about Archery Supplies, items you dream of that we can make.

Tutorial: How to cut out a corner
Beaver News #40 – October 17, 2016
In this week’s Video, we are talking about how to cut out a corner when doing leather work – not to confuse with How to cut a corner when doing leather work 😉
This tutorial will even be valuable to you if you are not doing leather work yourself but you are (or might be in the future) a customer that wants to buy an item hand made from leather. After watching this video you know what to look for to see if the artist knows his craft and went the extra mile to ensure he produces a beautiful and high-quality item.
If you are doing leather work yourself you might have struggled with this task in the past and have ended up with that unwanted cut that Mark shows at 2:55. Then you probably tried to fix it but ended up messing it up even more. Let Mark show you this simple trick so in the future cutting out a corner will not be any trouble at all.
