I popped along on the Sunday for a couple of hours and listened to one of Peter's talks - very informative 5 ⭐ Oracle of knowledge. Great event, well done to the organisers, helpers, stall holders and especially the people who entered the 'Makers' competition. Very inspirational! I will be definitely be back next year and hopefully enter the competition myself.
Thank you - Peter is a leather legend! We look forward to seeing you next year..
Thank you. The video was really interesting for someone taking up this hobby.
Thank you for your reply - there is more information on this on this link - including a tool and leather list - identityleathercraft.com/pages/project-making-a-leather-apron, best wishes, Sarah
Found this company by pure chance , for Leather supplies tooling etc , great they also do simple and explanatory video's keep it up great
ah thank you so much for your encouragement!
Good job!
Excellent video and tutorial well done
Ahh thank you, very much appreciated!
I love the feel of leather, the way the leather improves with age and that wonderful smell 😊
Solvent is the way to go , water base is crap tried it on a leather office chair , two tubs and useless
Hi Dave - yes very much the case for over dyeing upholstery due to the finish , if you haven't deglazed the solvent helps the colour to penetrate - as with anything it depends on what you are colouring and what the leather is - the main premise in the video for natural undyed leather but for anything that is an 'upholstery' type leather we would suggest using the Fiebing's Pro Dyes.
Thank you for creating this! I plan to turn two shoulder straps if different widths into one long cross-body strap. I think I will do this by adding hardware and your video clarified this for me!
happy we could help - adding hardware always looks attractive
@@IdentityLeathercraft I'm almost done now! It's good enough for me!
Looks really good
Great video, but I would,really like to see the technique on a large piece of leather.
Hi Carole - thank you, a good idea, we will see if we can sort something...
Thank you. Question. I have a natuzzi leather sofa that my wife to change the color. What product would you recommend. I am an experienced commercial painter for 45 yrs. So I know how to apply.
Hi - we would be happy to help - can you email more information on the sofa (existing colour and colour you are aiming for, and type of finish already present) and we can have a think, mail to info@identityleathercraft.com ..
Solvent based products can be reflowed at a later date which is super handy in my field of classic & vintage cars, water base will just build up with every application eventually rendering the leather overloaded with product.
That is very interesting, good to have a choice for different purposes..
Where can I find the pattern please and do you have a toddler pattern?
Hi Ann - if you follow the link here there is a download - the tutorial gives you a template, once you have the principle you should be able to scale down for a child size which would be very cute - good luck and happy leathercrafting! identityleathercraft.com/pages/project-sheepskin-slippers
Sorry I couldn't understand what kind of oil ?
Hi - so sorry if I didn't mention it - I used Neatsfoot oil compound here in the video but I have also done using olive oil...
I've been struggling lately and I've been making small cowboy/ Indian style satchels and bags to sell here in this small town I live in here in Tx. I've about use up most big pieces . I tried aging dabbing a thick blend of coffee and water around the edges. It definitely didn't work on that Tan pig skin. I have dark chocolate brown left more than tan now. I can't afford to buy the things needed so I try home stuff . Lol... Even shoe polish.. on sample pieces.. I really need to find somebody close to re-up on deerskin.. I'm down to scraps almost. I lost my home and am living in the living cal motel. $350 a week . Expensive to me. I have a bad back. And it's hard to find work in a small town... All filled up around here.. I'm sinking fast.anywaus . Thank you. If anyone knows here to get deer skin leather cheap and sees this. Please let me know. I broke my best needle last night. Now u only have a big half round one . Don't.care for that one m ,It Leeves to big a hole in thin skin. There's a old country store here that sells stuff rustic. I'm gonna get a pile of stuff made and take them down there in hopes to be able to hang and sell out of his store. He's a old retiers Marshal , still carrys the gun on his Hip . He looks like an old cowboy out of a old western movie .. so my bags and satchels should fit right in. If I keep them looking that style.anyways thanks. Trying to keep my head above water. , sinking fast. I need a miracle..to make rent. Less than 5 days. To raise $350..
Amazing advice, very useful and right when I need it. Checked your website. OMG! There are so many things i want to order! Do you ship to Canada?
Hi Natalia - thank you so much for your lovely comments, yes we can ship to Canada - the shipping is automatically calculated on checkout, just be aware there may be customs duties to pay...
Thank you to Laurence from Shedtime for giving the real name and story behind this little character!
What a great idea. Many thanks Sarah.
thanks Mark, hope you are well, best wishes from all of us...
What the thickness of this leather?
The leather used in the video is from our Vegetable Tanned calf leather, and is around 1.0-1.2mm. :)
Great job. Such a nice thing to do.
Thank you for the video tutorial. I loved wearing these when I was a kid and missed them so much :) one question (although I'm late to the party). I decided to add about 2mm veg tan to the sole. Do I glue bottom part to sole and then stich to the boot or should I stich up bottom and then glue the sole to cover it?
Hi - good question! You can do it both ways, reaching in through the slipper and finding the holes through the fleece may be tricky though. - either way make sure your holes are pre done in the veg tan sole and are a good open size so that sewing is made easier. Happy leathercrafting :)
@@IdentityLeathercraft I wanted to give some update regarding progress. I decided to glue bottom to the sole and then punch through everything at once. I also added grove for a thread at the bottom. Unfortunatelly on the website you still have your test pattern on so back doesnt match to sides... Also sides are longer than they should be if intented for 3 part- there was enough lenght of sheepskin on each side to completely ignore back piece and just glue and stiched 2 side pieces together. Regardless- thank you very much for sharing this pattern. I love my new slippers :)
@@gitruihgreat feedback thank you - we will make sure we update the pattern on the website. I think I am off to add some soles to mine, have just started wearing them again #cosyfeet ! Best wishes, Sarah
What size does that come in? Thanks
Stunning colours, love the green pull up, so glad you've got these in, my brain is already working on ideas ☺️
Ohh purchased as soon as i saw this.❤
thank you - look forward to seeing what you make David!
This alternative method is really worth considering: th-cam.com/video/6Jr8S6CAaks/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xiryrfjjGfq-W-pR
Hello dear Identity Leathercraft I am very impressed with your Videos and your content are very good. I am studying about TH-cam Growth randomly searching videos in youtube. I found your channel. I saw your content that was very nice. I want to talk with you about your videos and your channel details. I would be extremely grateful if you could talk with me. waiting for your response. regards Symun Thamid
Absolutely Inspiring I could watch these all day x
ah thank you Tracey - let us know how you get on with your make!
I had not thought of the oil as another way to hold the dye, very cool! Thank you😁👍
Have fun trying it out... would love to see how your comes out
I’m curious as to what makes it better for the environment. Is it still a plastic-based glue but being able to dilute it makes it ‘better’, or is there more to it than that?
Very useful video. I work with heavier thickness than on the video, but I shall be giving it a go. If it works then I'll be using it on a Mailbag commission I have to do.
Not for £84
Hi John - to be honest we didn't stock them at first for that reason, but then we saw them and tried them. They are really great tools and very well made, you can see and feel the difference when you use them. The materials used are premium grade steel, brass with beautifully turned wood handles. If you are passing call in and we can show them to you.
Thanks, quick and easy!❤
How well does it hold up over time and do you need to do any kind of sealing once it’s dried?
Because we used the Identity Store water based leather stains to do this they hold up well over time. They can be sealed with Supershene, (Eco product) or Identity Permacoat. If you do the olive oil method then use Collonil Protect and Care (eco) or Carnuaba Cream. Make sure they are totally dry before applications. Buff your finish once dry.
Is this real leather?
Hi yes it is real leather - it is lightweight vegetable tanned calf available from our website www.identityleathercraft.com
Great video! (By the way, your thumbnail says 'Goover').
Thanks! Will get that sorted...
Very informative Sarah. Many thanks.
A very interesting and informative video. It is better than the BBC's 'Repair Shop' because there is much more detail about techniques and the materials used.
A great video, thank you so much.Keep up the good work.Kenny Forde
great vid, thx
Glad you liked it - have fun...
very nice video. thanks for the help!!!!!!!!
I quite like that foraging bag idea, thank you!
13:36 butt stitch
Down to earth presentation with clear communication, always wondered what the spoon was for, I thought it was just for creasing. Just purchased a pro tool, you are paying for the tip more then the handle, might be worth buying the tip and trying out on a cheaper handle set.
Tried (and broke) both the pro and normal groovers mainly I think to a lack of knowledge about exactly how to set up and use them as a 'lefty' so this was very handy. Think I'll try the freehand one next time I put in an order.
Bu işlere karşı merakım oldukça fazla. Video için teşekkürler 🙏🏽
