I'm a total noob, but would love to see how you cut them after to get such an even line like in the product pictures. I really struggle with that part. I use a ruler, but the only part you can cut away is already curved outward.
Check out Corter Leather's TH-cam channel. About a year ago they did an expansive step by step with Buckleguy's molds. th-cam.com/video/v4tH2HAYu1w/w-d-xo.html
How do I avoid wrinkles? I can see in your demonstration wrinkles forming along the sides of your mold too. When I pull the wet molds a part I find wavy wrinkles have dried and it looks really bad.
It depends on the mold. Right now, we have some that can take up to 6.5oz and some that can take up to 12oz. Somewhere in the 6oz-10oz range is ideal for a single layer.
OLD Leather Smith here, very good. Suggestion, put a few drops of liquid dish soap in the water the leather would absorb faster and the mold would be easier 2 mold. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
CONVENIENT HOW YOU DON'T SHOW THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!...... To me there were a sh1tload of wrinkles trapped there. You've deceived people into thinking it's that easy. It isn't and you know it. Normally the leather need s v shapes cut to help stretch it along with staples to prevent wrinkles. How about being honest.
I would love if you could add a cigar wet mold. In a nice big gauge like 52+ if possible.

Using molds only presents one problem for me. Evenly cutting the excess and trimming nicely. Practice, right?
Thanks for the info! Would have been nice to see the de moulding- how do you deal with any wrinkles?
Suggestion. Drilling holes in the base mold with a dowel rod glued in and holes in the others to stack would hold everything tight.
Great Instructions
How deep are these trays?
Hi there, each tray is about 1" deep.
Hexagon shape next, please!
Should the leather be heated to make it harder when it's dry or, will it maintain it's new shape just drying naturally?
Hi there, the leather will maintain its shape after drying naturally. Using a stiffer leather helps ensure this as well.
What weight leathers work with your molds?
It depends on the mold. Right now, we have some that can take up to 6.5oz and some that can take up to 12oz. Somewhere in the 6oz-10oz range is ideal for a single layer.
@@Buckleguycom thanks for the quick response.
