TannersWillie

TannersWillie is the online alias used by a craft-focused content creator whose work centers on traditional leatherworking and leather care. The persona emerged in online maker communities in the early 2010s and has since produced tutorials, tool reviews, and project documentation across several platforms.

Content typically includes step-by-step instructions for common leatherworking tasks, demonstrations of tanning and finishing processes, and guidance on selecting materials and tools. The presentations emphasize safety, sustainability, and technique transfer with a practical, accessible tone.

Most of the creator's activity has appeared on video and image sharing sites, including a long-running video series, a photo-rich gallery, and occasional livestreams where followers can ask questions in real time. The work often features reusable project methods and tips for beginners as well as more advanced practitioners.

Notable themes include leather belts, wallets, pouches, and small leather goods, plus restoration and care of vintage leather items. TannersWillie has contributed to community workshops and collaborated with other makers to document process workflows and sourcing considerations.

While not affiliated with a single organization, the alias has become associated with practical craft education within online leatherworking circles. The identity behind the name remains private, but the output is widely referenced by hobbyists and aspiring artisans seeking reliable technique explanations.
