@@1arpa not really. The best would be to, at least, use bees wax to finish the edge.

These are absolutely not round holes. These are slanted (french-style) holes as said in the title of the video. Not sure if the light on the video drawn round holes to your eyes, but I can assure you there are slanted ones. 😊 Sorry about the false hope ha ha 😁

@@jamilavahabzade5209 thanks for the feedback. But I can't at the moment, I don't have it myself in PDF format. It's all drawn on a piece of paper 😁

@@LordLeatherCraft was it even possible to do that?

@@jamilavahabzade5209 what do you mean? I'm not sure to understand

@@BlkKeyCptl my pro tips: cut the thread in diagonal (bevel) to make a slightly pointy tip. Easier to thread the needle! (Works on waxed thread)

Thanks.... However, Im ok with getting the tread through the eye (which im told is the hardest part) its the knotting. I put the needle through the thread a couple of times to create loops but it doesnt knot

@@BlkKeyCptl is this helping? th-cam.com/users/shortsbp-zA6hM9QU?si=s2Ve-cJLw5PSy-rk

Thats what ive been doing but when i get to the end where you pull it off the needle to a knot mine just falls away and does not knot. Ill try again. Thanks.

@@BlkKeyCptl ha that's weird indeed. Is it waxed enough? I also know I can't achieve this with some brands that put less wax in their threads, but I have my own block of hard bees wax now 😁👍

@@HughWheelerDrums I'm not sure to understand what's dinted in this video 😅 If you meant that the cap part of the button is slightly made flat, it's due to the low quality of the holes I'm putting the cap in. It's an old video with a kit I bought on Amazon some years ago. Oka Factory, a japanese company, has a perfectly finished set for that. 👌

@LordLeatherCraft when the top of the cap is seen in the video it has been dinted from the peening tool when it was set. Its not bad, its just not ideal. Are you doing anything differently now to avoid that?! A setting machine?! Thanks I've been setting it with the same tools, and can't avoid the dent unless I hammer very softly. It's a massive juggling act.

@@HughWheelerDrums Oka Factory tools might help for that. My kit was old at the time of recording this video 😊

@@LordLeatherCraft thanks mate! Appreciate the response. Enjoy the rest of your week !!

@@HughWheelerDrums you're very welcome. You too 😊

@@larrycrisp3705 it's a lot more work though. I would advise painting them instead

It's toothpaste 😁 no joke, it works like a charm!

I glue the parts together then I do the rounded corners, then the stitch line that will follow those corners 😊

@@LordLeatherCraft aaa ok so doing the rounded corners while they are still straight? 🤯 Thank you ill practice this today

@@theogo4575 Take a look at this one th-cam.com/users/shortspbA7hFu5Ius?si=F7FKATwlO1RY7cf5 you'll see near the end: I cut the corner in radius first, then I trace the stitch line, punch, and stitch. As my stitch line follow the corner shape, I need my corner to be rounder-shaped before stitching it. If it makes sense 😊

@@theogo4575 thank you for your feedback 🥰

My pleasure 🥰

Thanks for asking. But I don't have it for free. PDF templates require a lot of work. Some people give it for free and I respect that, but compared to the time it can help you save, paid PDF are still really cheap for professionals. Plus, this one isn't from me so I couldn't share it even if I wanted. Hope you understand my view point 😊

@@LordLeatherCraft bạn đã làm tốt công việc của bạn và mẫu ví rất đẹp 😍

@@DzomTran thank you so much 🥰

@@ManWith2Hats I kept 1 note at least from every single country I've visited 😁

@@rtk2684 can you define what "this" is in your question?

Hello, All the infos are on the PDF template. It's usually between 2 and 3mm 😊

@@LordLeatherCraft gracias !!!!

@@mixedmediaartgirl300 it's a water based gel to help the fiber bind. You can use water only or coconut oil mixed to bees wax as replacement. No worries, I totally get the too many hobbies part 😂

@@LordLeatherCraft thank you!! I have started with assemblage and collage art, as I have been poor most my life, and so that has made me frugal and also resourceful to get what I want or need. Artists like you who are willing to share information to get me through the learning stages until I can make the confident investment in better tools is why I have been able to learn so many skills, and I am grateful. Will follow immediately. I have been able to pursue resin art, lino cuts and prints, and other printing methods, metalsmithing and welding, different metalsmithing techniques and fine jewelry, stained glass, woodworking, needle felting, making clothes and shoes, even the art of cooking and so much more, because of fellow artists and creatives sharing their knowledge. THANK YOU. It was easier to ignore my comment, but you didn't, and my life has already improved because of that. I'm in the middle of making my first pair of moccasins!

@@mixedmediaartgirl300 wow that's an impressive list of skills. Congratulations 🎉 I totally understand you on the poor aspect and the fact it helps you become more resourceful. Been there, done that. Life is full of surprise, knowledge to acquire and that makes it enjoyable. Keep going and have fun!

Thank you 🥰 Nothing's permanent unfortunately. If you go through multiple steps of polishing, the effect will last a long time. On my personal wallet, I did a bit of second time polishing 2 years after the initial one. I explain my client how they can maintain it on their own for a better leathergood life 😁👍

@@user-jb3gl5uz1q hello 👋 thanks for asking. What kind of pocket are you thinking of?

That's a good question. Coconut oil is use to help beeswax being more fluid and merge with the fibers. I don't know how olive oil would react but the solidification temperature is lower for olive oil so... Maybe I would avoid olive oil but I'm really not an expert here. Give it a try and look for custom made caring oil online. There must be some good ideas on the internet 😊💕

@@ManWith2Hats ha ha ha 😁 Soon soon. I work on the video when I'm not able to work on the goods themselves. 😭

@@LordLeatherCraft no worries. Nice to see the process in video 👍

​@@ManWith2Hats like that you can know exactly how much effort and love I put in yours 🥰😁👌

@@LordLeatherCraft honestly i feel bad asking you to change the zipper tape colour

@@ManWith2Hats haaaaa no, you shouldn't, it's all right. My pleasure is to learn things and to make things. I'll keep this one for myself as I like the design and yours will be with the right band. Order is on it's way by the way 😁👌

👋 hey! Thanks for sharing. I've seen @blackflagleathergoods do that and I guess most water based products are a good burnishing base. Even simple water and a bit of elbow grease 😁

@LordLeatherCraft no problem I just thought I could suggest my opinion thanks for hearing me out. 😄

It decorates my thumb 😂

@@alessandro1k489 hello to you too 👋 this is the red leather reference. buyleatheronline.com/en/design-fashion-leather-hides/370-2576-fashion-arena-wrinkled-lambskin.html#/12-color-burgundy/26-average_size_of_the_piece-06_m_65_ft

@@1joshjosh1 thanks for the feedback. Always appreciated. What part would you need a bit more detailed? The video is at normal speed, I just cut the blanks.

It's a 1.4mm leather on the outside and 1.2mm inside. But you can go for 1.2 or 1.4mm everywhere 😊👌

@@devinfahada4880 yes, roots. I walk directly on rubber 😂 Obviously there are insoles. Watch what Sneakerkit.eu has to offer, all the infos are there and on this channel, and on Instagram, and on Tiktok 😊

Hello, The advantage of what exactly? The french style saddle stitch? They are two things in one: stronger that machine stitch, and they also look fantastic 😊

​@@LordLeatherCraft I mean what's the difference between French style and regular.. I don't really know but regular saddle stitch is same IMHO

@@devinfahada4880 oh I see. The french style is the look of the stitch line. All points have a slightly diagonal shape. The Saddle stitch is the technique of using 2 needles to create a strong seam by balancing the tension on both sides of the pieces you are stitching. You can saddle stitch on a round, diamond, flat or diagonal holes. The diagonal is called French and I think diamond is called Japanese because of their origins. Both the technique and aspect of the holes can change the end look.

It's just a resistance to burn thread more precisely than with a lighter.

This is veg-tan leather. 😊 This process works for latigo leather too. And a friend of mine uses 4 other grit level for chrome tan leather and made it work, but the result is way less shiny. For chrome-tan leather I would go for paint 😁

Hello 👋 yes it's that. It's a mix of coconut oil and bees wax. Brand name's Delara. amzn.to/45G1SVe

Thank youuuu 🥰

Unfortunately I don't know. I suppose the stitch pattern can be made with a machine and the right tension. With soft leather it's also hard to get the right shape because of the tension, but you usually need to apply less tension to get it right.

Hello! You can find these right there: rangoleather.com/ 😊 tell them you come from me, you might get a small discount.

Thank you so much 🥰

This is a video about finishing edges with a technique using Tokonole. I don't know Edge Kote, but most of the first steps are the same for veg-tan leather: you need a flat surface to be able to work properly with any kind of coating material. Edge coat usually requires one first layer, a bit of sanding, and at least a second generous second layer of coating.

@@LordLeatherCraft Thanks

Sure, they are 5mm spaced for 1mm round hole. The thread is 0.65mm round shape. It avoid me avoid too much stitching time without sacrificing the strength 😊💪

Yes there are some. The first one for me is the unknown. But the accuracy of my pattern helped me a lot (mandatory phase on Illustrator). The second is finding the right thickness of leather for each piece. The rest went pretty well. I also didn't expect it to be so long to make. 😁

@@LordLeatherCraft Oh, length of a project always gets me! I’m 4 hours into my first tooled belt and feel like I’m not even halfway done.

@@jakebr47282 ha ha ha 😂 good luck pal!

Thank you so much. There are all the things you are mentioning there: shop.crofte.fr You'll find patterns with instructions, with there making-of or tutorial videos, as well as guides for tools. Tutorials are usually in french and English. This french punch is a Sinabroks in 3.85mm. bit.ly/sinabroks Have fun 👌

​@LordLeatherCraft What is the appropriate thread thickness to be used with this punch?

@@1arpa 0.5 to 0.65mm in round and 1mm flat threads seem the more appropriate. Under 0.5mm I would recommend 3mm or 2.85mm stitching chisels 😊 But there are overlaps so don't hesitate to try out if you have the opportunity

@@LordLeatherCraft I just added a long comment, but I don't understand why it was deleted. I might have deleted it too. Anyway, all in all, I appreciate your work and I appreciate you doing great work. If you publish an oral training video, please include the Google Translate multilingual option activated. If I can afford it, I will buy the punches you mentioned. I just started this job and The world becomes more beautiful as long as there are artists like you.

@@1arpa yeah TH-cam comments are bugged sometimes. I think TH-cam allows you to activate auto translation of subtitles. Even when I don't speak, I use subtitles to pass information in French and English. Supposedly you could activate auto translations in your language. Let's give it a try 😊 thanks for the encouragement and have fun crafting!

Thanks for passing by. It's only a small little short moment of the entire piece in current work. Can't wait to share a complete making of 😊👌

Thanks for your feedback 😊

Ha ha 😁

Excellent question! Usually before 900 grit or before even starting sanding 😊👌

Yes you are absolutely right. My issue is that I messed up too many pieces with a knife. Either I'm bad at sharpening, or not good at skiving. I have a diagonal knife to skive edges and I managed to do good skiving with it, but for the inner part of the t-pocket only french skivers work for me. 😊

Why would I? Vegan is PU, which means plastic, and we know what happens to plastic in nature, right? Also, my leather comes from the waste of agri-food industry. If you don't use it for leathercraft, it goes to waste and will be burnt. Personally I prefer creating goods with it that will last a lifetime, than using shitty vegan alternatives that will last 3 years max and end up abandoned in a landfill. I invite you to read more overall on the topic, and not only your biased version of propaganda 😊👌

@@LordLeatherCraft because animals > plastic on sentient scale. There is nothing to argue here. Animals get skinned alive . Bad karma to wear . That’s my opinion. I didn’t ask for this advertising in my feed either . Cheers

@@Ghostwriter33 I suggest you stop commenting then. Otherwise you'll get more 😊 I suggest you read about how leather is produced when done properly. There are certificates in our industry to tell people the animal is well treated until his death, and death is inevitable. The good thing is to know what to do with the dead animal: you burn it, or you recycle it to make something out of it. I prefer doing the second: less plastic used in your fake leather, which mean less damages done to the planet. Just read on this topic 👍

@@Ghostwriter33 btw, why you want to kill animals with plastic abandoned in nature if you think animals has to be protected. Sometimes I wonder how people think... Really. At this stage it's really a strong lack of knowledge from you. You are right, nothing to argue, you don't have any arguments 😂

They are from a french boutique called Décocuir: bit.ly/decocuirfr I'm really glad with the quality and as I don't have a strap cutter and not enough space, the pre-cut straps are perfect for me.

@@LordLeatherCraft same space and tool problems, only buying from buyleatheronline atm. Thank you for the information

@@sentinelfox6937 they have a paid strap service if you know it. You can ask them to make straps out of any hide, almost any size. One day I'll make Buttero belts, one day 😎

@@LordLeatherCraft but only from leather they have in stock ? otherwise would be a miracle

@@sentinelfox6937 yes only with the ones they have in stock. Which is really cool already, they have a lot of choice. 😊👌

I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Just be sure of one thing: even after 3 years of practice, I'm still learning things and it's exciting. Don't hesitate to ask any question 😊👌

Hello 👋 thanks for asking. It's in the title. Here I used 500, 900 and 1500. I have 750 and 2000 in my collection for Latigo leather which require more steps to get a clean result. I usually sand dry with a grit level, then apply a bit of water and Tokonole mix, then sand wet with the same level. Then go on the next grit level. Etc. 👌
