Because of a timely coincidence I have a video about carving an eagle just in time for the fourth of July. In the last video I made a leather cover for a water bottle and had enough footage of the tooling that I decided to edit this second video about how I did the carving. I am always working on building something and try to average a YouTube video once a week. Most often leather work, but I have also posted videos on black smithing, knife making, casting, and even how I make soap.
