Should I be asleep? Probably. Will I watch an amazing craftsman make gorgeous shoes? Absolutely

I love that you are always trying to tweak or improve on your method, techniques, or quality! 57 minutes in I see you doing something I haven’t seen before. This, in my opinion is the sign of a true artist, never satisfied with the way they were taught or that they’ve always done it.
Instead, how could I do this better, faster or use less material…. I love it!! Also, thank you for showing how you made the natural dye! This is such a well done video. But more than that, the years of work that went into your level of skill. Thank you for sharing.

Stunning work, as always! I always love watching your derby shoe videos since they seem to have so much more detail, and it's so satisfying to see it all come together piece by piece.

Amazing video as always, sir. Being inspired by you I started making my first shoes recently and I got so many questions therefore I would like to make a suggestion that you have channel memberships where you would share some of your techniques. Thank you again for posting your videos

I love watching clothes being made - it is so enjoyable for the asmr aspect, but also for the education it provides as to how clothes are actually made. It gives me peace.

Another Masterpiece. Would we expect anything less? Absolutely not. I'm loving the Color you created with that Museum technique you applied. Gorgeous heel stack, beveled waist, Topy sole guards with decorative brass nails to finish them off. Great Job Terry🥇🏆🥇. Stay Blessed with Health, Prosperity & Joy.🙏🏼

I think this is my favourite channel now. I always like to watch asmr that also is fascinating because of the expertise in different arts but your videos excel in all the categories I want to see. Thank you for bringing me peace and comfort every day after a long day of work ❤

I watched all your videos. Amazing quality and work. Beautiful and inspiring. Unbelievable the amount of knowledge you are sharing... I learned things even without trying. I aim to watch again your videos, this time taking some notes on the paper, possibly asking you a couple of things.

HAPPY TO BECOME A MEMBER!

Best wishes,
