Thank you, be safe, and be grateful.
Many thanks for the kind words Scott. I am glad that our work resonates with you and grateful for your feedback and input along the way. The offer still stands if you want us to mend and clean up your old bags, as I always love breathing new life into old tools! Lastly, I don't know about colliding with Buckaroo, but I do know that I'll be ordering a set of their belt suspenders here soon! They look like an excellent long term solution. Thanks again for connecting with me, and for all of the work that you do!
Best regards,
Patrick
Hello Patrick I hope you're doing good I'd like to buy a pauch from you how can I contact you?
@@luisLopez-uz3mv I see he hasn’t replied, his company is called OM Workbench. You could google it and get directed to their website. Good luck
@@-curran2163 thank you
God the whip sound on the suspenders is somehow just as funny every single time 😂
😂
The last time I clicked on a video called "leather galore," I ended up with a nasty virus, so this was a leap of faith. Worth it for you guys!
My choice in bags is Occidental Leather. But let’s not argue quality. The one and only reason for me is that I’ve had my occidental bags for 23 years of full time use and they are old friends to me. Those bags are a partner to me who has always been there. I can’t get myself to cheat on my old bags with something new. 😉. Those old bags helped me support my family all these years and I won’t forget it.
please try the Buckaroo suspenders. I went for the full rig and love slipping it on for the start of the day. comfortable, everything in the right place. a chisel in the hammer ring pouch, 2 bags and comfortable all day. big thumbs up to Buckaroo who sent my rig to the UK from Auststralia with a T shirt and storage bag. I love it. after trying cheaper kit my son advised ( a Snap On Guy ) spend the money, get the right kit. He was so right, I was so proud, and have loved Buckaroo ever since. The other bags hand in the garage. Well done Buckaroo.
Well done Essential for putting on the show. luv it
Nothing motivates me like Scott saying “Keep up the good work!” Great content as always.
I've got Buckeroo braces on my Buckeroo belt and they make a 20kg tool load feel like nothing, I'm possibly biased living in South Australia but I highly recommend them.
Yeah, I wouldn’t brag about weight feeling easy to carry while you are upside down mate!
Just joking, the Buckaroo stuff looks great, I believe you 100%.
I’m no professional, but as someone who has no hips to speak of, and is on the - ahem - fluffy side, the suspenders were a game changer for keeping a heavy work belt on my body.
Fluffy 😂😂😂
I appreciate the sound effect accompanying Scott's release of his suspenders.
Haha! Yes, epic!
Lol lol that was funny
Made me jump, very funny
I agree!
Scott use the bag suspenders..my back got so bad I could no longer wear conventional bags/belt. But a set of bag suspenders take all the pressure of the lower back- game changer for me, wish I did it 20 yrs ago.
I got myself a buckaroo belt based solely on your first quick review after you received one. My leather belt was great but I figured I’d see if my back liked the buckaroo more, and it did. Your Mailroom episodes are great and very touching.
Carpenter from Australia, buckaroo belts are the best in my opinion, a bit more pricey but worth every cent, I’ve had my stuff for years
Goid stuff's worth paying for.
Cody Hayes:
I looked into ordering the wide belt with the orange suspenders, & a set of bags, & a couple of different frogs, but there wasn’t a place for me to ask them a question.
I’m in the USA, & Buckaroo isn’t down the street; I wanted to ask their experts what do remodelers need? As my set up changes with the job. I need to reach out on Instagram. Buckaroo looks like some quality gear.
Steven B I do mostly renovations, anything from commercial to residential, I run the Normal belt, 4 pocket pouch, hammer holster (24 oz estwing), chisel pouch and tape pouch, pretty simple but does the job, I think it cost me around 400 AUD

Thank you for the heads up.
5 dislikes! What the hell!? I am aware of the tremendous effort required to maintain this CZcams channel, with the usual complexity of life, these special beings manage to take time to offer us wisdom and knowledge about so many useful aspects of life. From Puerto Rico, USA, this police officer cannot find an adequate way to thank you for all that you contribute to our lives. I think I could just tell you ... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
People just get offended when they realize how worthless they are with their hands. I like to think I’m a crafty guy but Mr. Craftsman puts me in my place big time.
It really doesn’t matter what the channel is or the content- almost every time there is someone not liking it or just getting down right nasty in the comment section. Sad but true in today’s. society.
I appreciate all the work that goes into this and I continue to learn more with each video. To all those at EC- Keep Up the Good Work!
Even one video. I didn't realize how much effort is involved until I tried to make a video. So much care is involved. I didn't have it in me.
Dislikes are 99% misclicks...
Please, don't ever stop educating us young and seasoned trades men. We all can learn new and different ways to improve our skills of our trades. You are awesome! Thank you.
Hi from the uk 🇬🇧, I really injoy the videos to watch, keep up the good work be safe to you and your family 👪 from colin bradford and family uk 🇬🇧.
The aesthetic beauty of a well-built leather item is hard to question, and those pouches and belts are gorgeous. Layout, I think, is much more subjective, and only the end user can determine where the trade-off lies between beauty, utility (meaning how a pouch's layout works for you, and to what degree you're willing or able to adapt your work habits to a bag's layout) and cost.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy all your videos. My wife was raised in Southerland. Her parents later moved to Roseburg where her dad worked for Industrial Electric, which became Roseburg Electric. I call her my “Oregonism”. I’ll check out your wife’s channel as we are beekeeper in Alaska. God Bless.
Tool bags have been something I've struggled to find a setup I like for ages for a very simple reason: I'm left-handed. I want my tape and square on the right, pencils on my left. Bags are definitely designed to be worn on one side and not the other.
Occidental makes left hand versions of there bags will look the same on amazon just say LH or left handed
I hear you! Same here! I struggle so greatly I've thought about just making my own bags. What do you currently have for a tool belt, and has it been good?
Occidental leather company makes left handed bags
Occidental Leather offers several Left handed tool belts
I use a Buckaroo belt for framing, and an OM Workbench for everything else.
Both have a different hammer, different tape measure, etc.
I have a fisher anvil stamped in 1899 it’s has no sound it sounds like hittin a stump but the rebound is great !!!! Love this anvil and I love ur channel’s and all of ur content!!!!
We all appreciate your excellent videos. I'm not a craftsman, I work in customer service for an environmental lab. My grandfather was a machinist and I have his Kennedy tool box. That box spawned old tool collecting for me. Now my apartment is full of old tools. Love the history and the craftsmanship of past generations.
Thank you Scott for amazing videos . I always learn a lot about you. I used to be a foreman for a drywall company un Maryland for 12 years. Now i live in El Salvador. Thanks a lot.
Well placed sound effects are a real treat. A solid head nod to whoever is editing this.
8:26 How i test the hardness of spring steel high pitch ring when dropped
used to make lots Tools out springsteel last for many years punches blades etc
was a springmaker 26yrs started 16yr old about 1978 :) Australia learnt so much that wasnt tought in school .
5:01 You're going to have to casually work that epic suspender snap into other videos. Talking to clients *snap*, on the phone with a supplier *snap*, stuck on a problem *snap* - and everything works out when that epic snap rings out. 😂
PS: Protect your phone from your leatherman seems more accurate. ;) Those things have a mind of their own....
Beautiful tool belt. A must for every carpenter.
If I was a young buck looking for tool bags, Patrick's are a work of art!! But my Occidental bags are 18 yrs old and still going strong, they'll probably out last me!
this channel is exactly what youtube was maid for. Love it.
Scott and Nate, thanks for the early Saturday morning uploads. They're great weekend-project motivation!
Number one. I got nerve damage from a belt. Number two suspenders are very good if you can find a place to connect them. I found suspenders with snap links to connect to your belt loops.
I did this work for many,many years and always wore a very simple Carhartt tool pouch...I never worked
For anyone else so never had pressure as what I needed to have on me but could just never get
Used to a big heavy belt...so I didn't..and found other ways to keep tools at hand!
Don't you love to 'meet' people from all over the world who are, indeed, keeping up the good work? It is an encouragement just to know they are out there. Thanks, EC Team.
Love the mail room videos and seeing all the amazing things that people make!
You guys are doing great 1million subscribers will be reached very soon maybe before the spec house is finished...
Good luck.
Im a fireman. We spend a ton on leather goods like suspenders and radio belts. If I was a career builder id buy the best toolbelt I could get.
Please never miss an opportunity to insert the whip foley on the suspender snap. LOL
Love the Saturday morning posts. Great way to get the weekend rolling!
Who the hell hits the thumbs down button what the hell didn’t u like about any of his videos I watch every single one and I can’t wait for another one to come out except for when it’s about welding and anvils but I still watch I could listen to him talk about anything
I watch EC to not only learn how to be useful but how to be nicer as a person.
Those MAX "twintiers" are expensive, but at least 5 times faster than loop tying. If you can afford a couple, their design has improved tenfold from the older single wire spool.
"Thats a wonderful Swedish name" That made me laugh
Muhammed is the most swedish name these days.
My greatgrandparents were Almquists. Came over on a boat- peacefully and legally.
@Iron Prefect I’ve worked with and broken bread with just about every creed and color. The enemy is bigotry and extremism. Full stop.
Hope you're all doing well and the Fire's are avoiding your family, earlier this summer I heard talk about killer murder bee's have yall noticed any of them? Great video and the suspender snap was classy lassy
If anyone is ever looking for an amazing set of bags, or just window shopping check out Akribis Leather here in BC, Canada. I had a full Buckaroo set up for years, and changed over to Akribis within the last year and wouldn't look back. I still use the Buckaroo back support belt with my setup but everything else they blow Buckaroo, Occidental, Diamondback, etc out of the water. I know carpenters can be bias and once they got a set up, they usually don't change it until it has more rivets than leather in it, but check them out
Run the straps of your suspenders through the belt loop on the leather holster then button them to your pants. It lays sideways but that is okay. I used to wear it on my right side with the flap towards the back. That way with one hand and one motion I could open it and get the Leatherman out. The nice part is because it is above the beltline it doesn't interfere with your work belt.
Hey Nate, great camera work. And cutting... A 2/3 camera setup allows great viewer experience.... B roll was on point.
Man i would love a couple leather tool bags .. They last forever
I love the versatility and toughness that Diamondback Toolbelts provide. I finally bought some and I am sold on them. They are expensive but worth every penny. Those are beautiful bags tho!!
Buckaroo - Good Aussie stuff. Just down the road here in Wollongong, at Bellambi! Great to see them on EC! Cheers PP
Interesting thing to do with large ball bearings: have someone hold up a piece of paper and clap 2 bearings together with the paper between. It should make a small hole and immediately smell the paper. Try it with the kids. Can you explain it?
Trying this tomorrow!!
Those suspenders from Australia look great are used to wear suspenders on my tool belt because it was so heavy I would carry lots of nails and that way I didn’t have to wear the belt so tight.
I finally got my own anvil. And I am needing to make a forge. I would love to learn how to make a ribbon burner for it.
Wow. That’s a awesome bag!!!!!!!!!!!! The cutting board is pretty.
I’m one of those sick carpenters that loves to tie steel. Worked on a few Corp of engineer locks and dams in my youth.
Heyyy, Mt. Ham! Hope their beehouses didn't burn down. That manzanita was probably cut right on their own land.
Great energy , just what people need in certain times 👍🏼
To the guy from Trinidad. I saw a ribbon burner at a local antique shop across from the Trinidad bay eatery when I was up there a week ago. It appeared to be solid cast iron and a decent price.
Those leather tool bags are awesome!! Seems sturdy as hell! Nice work 👍💪
I’ve been dying to hear more about those bags!
Many thanks! I'm glad our work resonates with you.
@@patricklemmon6866 I’m a machinist by trade, and now I teach at our local Vocational school, but I love to nerd out over carpentry and masonry tools. I’m glad that you are making quality bags for the ones who can justify such items!
@@brianpriest3638 I have no experience with machining, but I love learning about the trade through guys on youtube like ThisOldTony. Hopefully, I'd like to someday dabble in machining and blacksmithing as a hobby.
The work you do as a teacher of a trade is quite commendable!
What a Gentleman
Always a pleasure to hear your take on the mailbag. 👍🏼👍🏼
Those tool bags are works of art. It's understood that one would rather have them on display then put them through the abuse they would most certainly receive.
Jeez! Where do you find all those anvils? I've been looking for years (in Alabama), always seem to be a day late and a dollar short.......
Thank you for the great videos!
"we may give it a go mate" LOL I was not ready for him to break out his Aussie accent.
Ive had the same Kunys set of bags for nearly 20 years . Ive tried the US framer type with the hammer at my back and padded wide belt , but find them too bulky and awkward for doing finish carpentry. I dont get guys spending 300 dollars + on a tool belt especially canvas stuff which eventually fails .
Great content, and very nice, Snazzy leather right there. Stay safe and keep up the great work. Jim
Great video - wow that is some steaming cup of coffee in the start of the video. Would you mind mentioning what brand of 3/4 zip pullover you were using in the video? Many thanks
I would bet it is Not coffee.
Thanks for the video gentlemen, always interesting in some way or another.

Thank you for letting us know this!!
Wow love that belt and bags!
Is the suspend slap noise artificial haha so loud and crisp. Makes the same noise in his how I set up my bags video
I'd love to have that belt. Looks great, beautiful and durable.
Guday from Australia,
Another cracking mailroom. Nice to the Aussies in the mix.FYI I have just recently renovated our bathroom and after seeing American Standard support you, l chose American Standard for our renovation.
Keep the good work.
Really enjoy watching your videos. You got a unique craftsmanship.
Love these vids really like seeing these products. Good idea for xmass presents
The sound effect was Hilarious
I am a carpenter and have been for many years ...and was just wondering if you have ever used any of the Heritage Leather bags that are made here in the USA out in California also I have been looking at their products and would like to get your take on them
I'm wondering if you could knock out a tune for Christmas with the Anvils and the ball bearings
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.
I hate toolbelts .. See some of these guys that have shiny belts with a slot for everything .. Pouches for a tablesaw , 5 coil nail dispenser , slots for every chisel , nail pullers crowbars they walk around with 100 lbs of every fastener .. Me .. I look for lightweight as can be ..Being the prima donna lead man .. I carry the least I can and make sure that someone toting half a trailer worth of tools on him is close by ..My pouches fill up sawdust and what I call a salad of fasteners and bits .. My work is impeccable ,but my belt looks like a scatter brained slob .. Too old to change .. All that matters to me is how my work looks , not how I look .. LOOL LOve this channel ..
hope to see the ribbon burner video in the future...
-Never seen ‘The Deerhunter’ ? An oldie but a goodie. Prepare yourself. It’s pretty intense even by today’s standards. Probably ought to wait till the grandkids have ‘hit the sack’.
-With the ball-bearing/anvil test, which is more desirable? A distinct ring or more of a thud. Obviously rebound being the point of the test.
-Does Kelly have any thoughts on the recent murder hornets found up that way? Are they an actual threat to her bees? Or could it possibly ‘🐝’ just more media hype?
Scott may want to preview for the wife, I know mine would run from the room over some scenes. What a great movie though.
@@drcornelius8275 yes, those scenes were quite dramatic, but I interpreted the story as depicting the mental and physical scars left on American soldiers and civilians.
@@drcornelius8275 👍
I will be tackling a 2-story addition to my 1870 farmhouse next year, but I don't own a framing belt/bag yet. Any particular brands/products that you'd recommend?
8:18 thought am i crazy or is Scott playing twinkle twinkle little star?
"We may gave it a go 'mate'" 😂
I love my buckaroo bags!
Early Christmas!
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
👍👍👍👍beautiful leatherwork..... thing of the past in my world.... every job company supplied harness with dual steel cable retractables. Spill proof tool and material bags ,every tool on lanyard....getting hooked on everything as you move...... can I retire yet😂🤣😂🤣😂
Hey Scott/Nate, the link to occidental bags takes you to Amazon, but not the actual product. Just a heads-up. I love your material!
Zach B.
Now try finding a good, American-made, heavy duty belt that will go through jeans belt loops. Not talking about some junk a lumbersexual hipster would spend a week's worth of his barrista pay on. Something worth massaging Obenauf's into every few months. Something that can keep your pants up while DCD999 with a 60V battery is hanging from it while going up a ladder or climbing scaffold.
Sounds like a prime DIY opportunity! Strip of quality leather, and either an awl and some waxed thread OR a rivet tool. Should be dirt cheap and not much time to complete. You'll need to source a buckle to keep it simple, but you likely own a junk belt you can scavenge that from. I'm due to take this on myself but I've been beating up a cheap but surprisingly durable mostly-leather belt for years now.
I bought an Occidental belt, to hold my pants up. Just as awesome as their tool belts just in a normal 1.5" width to work for everyday use!
Diamondback tool belt should send you one of theirs
Enjoyed the mail room segment the leatherman pouch got made me get around to asking do all leatherman tools have a poor knife I finally got one love the tool but find the knife a disappointment. It doesn’t hold an edge
I keep reaching for my tape measure or other tools in a tool belt I don't wear anymore.
Nice! Yes, Keep up the good work!
Thanks guys. Good stuff.
Enjoy Elohim!
Be Blessed.
I (and all internet) needs a colab with bedo's leatherworks.
Great video!!!
What are you looking for (or listening for) with the ball bearings?
Any way I can still buy those brown leather bags
Love all your videos. Nate, where do you get your trousers?
Great video. Thank you for all the education you do!
