This channel is designed to help shorten the learning curve to leathercrafting and tooling leather in particular. My hope is that by applying my passion for teaching to the leather shop, I am able to impact the leather industry in a positive way.
After a career of riding bulls I transitioned into running my leathercraft business full time. 23+ is my business name but it is also a daily reminder to strive for excellence. In rodeo, 23+ refers to the scoring system for bull riding where 2 judges each mark the rider 1 to 25 on how well he rides and the bull 1 to 25 on how well he bucks, for a total out of 100. If you scored 23 across the board you would be 92 points. Anything over 90 is considered an excellent ride. Having a 23+ on every product I make demands that I strive for excellence and quality in every piece.
I now offer patterns, tutorials, and on-line courses to help other leathercrafters succeed and be the best they can as well.
