I miss working with leather it was A very therapeutic hobby
Do the residues get thrown away or saved? Cordovans so beautiful i would keep it in a small jar 😂
I keep it all just in case
You didn’t do anything with. I already get that at a leather tannery or on line tannery. 😢
Not everyone does though, to a lot of people this is not usual
Loved the video thank you for all your tips
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
For what it is worth, my guess is that your audience will be critical in deciding on what should be in your website store. Audience members who are learning the craft may not want to buy finished items, but they may be willing to buy merch and patterns. On the other hand people who watch for entertainment may really like something they have seen you make. Postage can be a real killer. I don't know the geographic distribution of your audience, but I get annoyed at postage costs out of all proportion to the item. Different goods, but I have seen manufacturered goods that postage makes the total price 2 to 3 times the cost of local purchase which shows nobody at the vendors has taken any regard for their purchasers. Download patterns avoid the tyranny of distance.
oh no... I had one of those as a kid. That pouch was for the sharpening stone. It was gray with a groove down the middle for "fishing hooks".
What are you treating the leather with before you use the hot iron
I put edge paint on it to seal and colour the edge
For a second I thought you were double threading every whole! I was like my mans got more free time than me! Hahah
Hahahaha I don’t have time for that 😂
Hey my friend, thanks for the great video- followed right along and got my machine running better than ever. Cheers, Will! -Tanner
Thanks Tanner! Hope you’re well
That's really cool!. Is there any functional advantage, or just a nice alternative look?
Just nice alternative look
Great work, well explained.
Everything other than the choice of color for the stitching looks great! 👍 (and i realize that's personal preference)
Good job Will. I'm a beginner leather crafter and almost OCD sometimes. I have to keep telling myself some of these things will get better over time with much practice so thanks for making us feel a bit better about our work 😊
Swell video, and, I must say, a fantastic collection of tools and materials!
I look at every piece I make as a learning moment. Each one is better than the last. Practice cutting, stitching, finishing edges. Make one for yourself or a friend. Request feedback. Good video!
Hi Will love your videos. Can I ask what knife you are using? Sorry if been asked before
Somewhere in the background there is a guy in red dancing
thank you
How much this tool
Which tool?
Where do you get your leather cut down in thickness?
I send it to this company store.bookbinding.co.uk/store/
Hi Will, thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. I was amazed at the end result. Is it possible to see where the strap material was purchased? I would love to make this for one of my handbags. Would you share where are you purchased the cut out for the leather shape?
I don’t know why you find it necessary to include spurious information especially when it’s wrong.
Hi Will! Really enjoy your videos! Can i ask the white tub with the foam brush, where can i get one? Many Thanks!
One of the several ‘motivational notices’ I have posted around my bench is, “Done is better than Perfect”. Without that attitude I really wouldn’t ever get anything done.
Solid
Great insight. We should enjoy the making, not just the having made. Re website... I like how some guys have sort of a twofold (bifold??) website: resources/materials for leatherworkers and finished products for general consumers. Much as I'd love to have a Treve wallet, I find that my wallet is perhaps the most dependable piece of advertising for my brand. I can always depend on having my wallet to a potential buyer! Even if they aren't interested in a wallet, they can see that I'm not a (total) hack. Though I'd guess that not everyone shares that view, so you should definitely have your goods up online! I'd love to see them.
Practice makes progress 👌
Это что за жесть))
This is something I need to follow. Every time I make something, I keep pointing out what I perceive as major faults (a stitch slightly out of line, a spot where when I was tooling in a design my shakey hands went off course with the tooling by 1mm)
Totally agree!
I'd really like bag patterns on your new website. Intermediate to advanced level.
I can do that for sure
I really enjoy your videos. I’ve learned so much from them. If you do decide on a website, I’d like to suggest having a section with links to your videos. As to product, definitely items such as the wallets and purses/totes along with patterns for those items. For me being in the States it would cost too much to have your products shipped over but, if you provided digital patterns for what you make along with recommended leather, tools…. Again, really do enjoy your videos.
❤❤❤
Pretty cool
as i said before you are an artisan and master in leather crafting , greetings from egypt
Great advise Will! I do the same with mine!

Oh, I like dem clips, innit
Great work! Love the end resupt. Beautiful!
Thank you!
Your leatherwork is amazing, and I'm very impressed with your videography. I do leathercraft as well, but I have never seen anyone spend so much time on such a small leather object. I guess I have a lot to learn. Thanks.
thank you John, that is very kind of you. And thank you for watching!
Thanks Will, great tips there, unfortunately a tick box exercise for me🤣your video showed what I was doing wrong time and time again. Thanks again Sam
You’re welcome!
What is the tool that you molded the case for, collapsible/foldable scissors?
Yep, they’re trauma scissors I use as a paramedic called Leatherman Rator
First time hearing about a clochette. Very nice.
Thank you Edward
I’ve been doing leatherwork for fifty years, I never heard so much you shoulda, why doncha in my life. You did a fine job, you did nothing wrong.
Thank you Sir
There was no reason for the plastic wrap. Swiss Army knives do not rust.
It’s not for rust it’s to give a little wiggle room to help remove the knife
Thank you Will, I have just found your great channel have now subscribed, a fantastic piece of work, really well explained and demonstrated. I am looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos Take care Sam
Thanks so much, Sam and thanks for watching
Love the color combo and stitching. Looks very high quality and durable. I don't particularly like how the ipad fits in though, could use a bit of wet molding although I know it will get more loose over time. Awesome work though!
What kind of glue is that it seems super strong
Its called Ecosar 16 PIU
Ah yes, a sheath for a multitool that closes up into a sheath.
it's almost like he wanted to protect things in his pockets from getting damaged by a hard metal tool by encasing it in something less likely to damage things. Weird, right?
