Any inquiries, email me at: agarleather@gmail.com How to make a bag that seems to have no practical use except for the practice it gave me in making it.... Mulefoot Harness and Hide Goods
Smart people talk through a video so viewers actually learn how to do the same thing. Stupid and conceited people just show off by doing something without telling anyone else how to do it, too.
James Ritchie well, that's not exactly true.. whether someone talks through a video or not doesn't make one smarter than the other. personally I enjoy crafting videos a lot more when there's just the sounds of the tools and workshop. it is sort of a meditation to me..
James Ritchie tbh, I don't think that you can learn how to make a saddle or a complex bag like this from just watching a video so it would be pointless him talking anyway. I think he makes these videos to show the process of how leather, high quality items get made, not as a source of teaching others how to do things. I think that it's wrong of you to accuse this man of being stupid and conceited when he clearly felt that it was unnecessary to talk during the video. Everyone has their own style and taste of what they like to see in a video so it's quite rude of you to describe the man with the words that you did. If you want to watch a video where people talk about what they're doing then there are plenty of videos which describe the process and I think that the gentleman is very unique with his style of producing his videos. I don't understand why you want him to be like other people and describe every little detail.
As a leather worker myself I gotta say you are very good. That tooling is amazing and I hope to reach your level of skill 1 day. I do good work but you're another level. A true master. Glad too see someone else keeping the old ways alive and not using machines and lasers. Hand stitching is unbeaten in durability. Machine stitched can't come close to the old saddle stitch.

I am just curious how many times you cut yourself learning... I’m a professional knife and tool sharpener and I cut myself a ton learning my craft ... beautiful work by the way
Todo perfecto lo felicito por su trabajo y el esmero en transmitir sus conocimientos. Nada más me quedo una duda con que le hizo los agujeros a la vaqueta que esta bien gruesa porque no creo que con los tenedores haya podido hacerlos. Gracias por las atenciones.
Beautiful work, I didn't know you could punch holes on the thin cutting board?, have to try it, also you were using a hammer on the tooling stone, didn't know you could do that also, thought they might crack, my one is quartz bout 1 1/2" thick.
question, I noticed that after you soaked the leather that you put it in the bag to set for a bit, as I'm just getting started with this hobby please forgive my ignorance on the subject, why put the leather in the bag, does it help in some way. thank you, and beautiful work by the way
It's called casing the leather. Typically, you'll soak the leather, bag it, and stick it into the refrigerator overnight. Then take it out and let it dry somewhat.
People have varying opinions about casing. Does it help? That depends. I use this technique when I am tooling. It helps the swivel knife cut a bit more cleanly and it gives bevels and stamp work a nice rich and crisp look. If you are just starting out don't worry about things like casing; you should focus on swivel knife work and edge beveling. Also, be sure to use good quality leather as it makes a HUGE difference. Having a bearing yolk instead of the cheap action found in most starter kit swivel knives is also something to look into. Best of luck.
How beautiful and incredible work made by hand. I am really impressed. I do not know here in Mexico the tools you have used for. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful work!!! I'd like to try my hand at a project like that, I don't have 1/10 of the skill you do. Thanks for the insight though. It's obvious you are a true artisan in leather craft. Do you have a shop? I'd be interested in a bag like that or a haversack if you have one designed. Thanks for the post.
First off- absolutely love your videos. In particular, I like the use of just Neatsfoot oil on the leather for a bit of darkening. I tried it on my round knife sheath (with black edges) and got tiny bits of dye on the otherwise pristine leather My question is how do you keep your items looking so neat and pristine while using dye for the edges?
waw waw waw fantastica . Can you please tel me what type of leather did you use for this and what is the thickness of the leather ? Thanks alot for your advice .
This bag is simply gorgeous.
I love your creative flow of the acanthus leaves.
Stunning.
It may have no practical use, but it's beautiful !
Very beautiful artwork.Congratulations.You are a master kraftmanship.I just fall ipnotise watching this loved video ! Sorry for my inglish.
just an amazing video, feel like i learned a lot just by observing you
beautiful... would love to introduce tooling into my projects some day... one baby step at a time for me... lol tyfs
Beautiful! Thank you.
Looks like a mini saddle bag!
Excellent video. Thanks so much for not having loud music playing all through it, like so many other people feel a need to do.
Hey thanks. I think of the studio as a place of meditation, I want my videos to convey that feeling so no loud music!!

omg i love that bag i needs it in my life!
Amazing!. All my respect.
Brand and size of thread you are using...Beautiful work.
Tiger thread (Julius Koch) 1mm
Lotta hand stitching. Don't see that anymore.
Wow, masterful. I thought I was going to skip through this but wound up watching it end to end. Thanks for posting!
Just beautiful

Congratulations on the excellent work,
research and patience,
Mostly, it looks very handsome.
very very beautiful
Beautiful work of art!
Fine craftsmanship. The bag looks like a map case to me. You could probably sell it to an Apple cultist for their ipad.
I can't put your work into words.I was very enthralled.You have hands and a mind of a God.Great work I am truly inspired.

Bryan Leenheer why does it help to cool it? I've only been told to soak the leather, and then just start working right away..

Woow, great! good artistic job......greetings from Culiacán México, Don Juan Talabartería
Great job. Exceptional work. That is a lot of hand stitching.
Absolutely beautiful work!!!

Hi...where did you buy that thread?? How is the name of it??
Peace Andy
Its beauty is all the use you need
The leather work is wonderful!!! I would love to own this gorgeous bag!!! How much is that?
Saludos que aceite usas 👍👍👍
muchas gracias maestro por su enseñanza he estado viendo sus videos por la mañna y me han gustado mucho . que dios me lo bendiga
That looks strangely like a set of cannel bags, I made for my daughters saddle
Really a beautiful bag! What thickness is the black leather? Is it veg tanned? What edge dye do you use?
Thank you in advance for answers, Martin
The black gusset leather is 4-5 oz oil tanned leather, chrome not veg, for edge dye I just used the regular Fiebings dye, medium brown I think.
First off- absolutely love your videos. In particular, I like the use of just Neatsfoot oil on the leather for a bit of darkening. I tried it on my round knife sheath (with black edges) and got tiny bits of dye on the otherwise pristine leather
My question is how do you keep your items looking so neat and pristine while using dye for the edges?
I don't know, maybe your edge dye wasn't completely dry.
wow...i love your work. Thank you for your video
Thank you
Excellent workmanship.
What is the type of the coloring pigment he used?
☑️😉 Nice work. Thanks.
Nice video. Very talented. I've been inspired.
maravilloso!!!.. tanto detalle solo de un artista..felicidades!!
Love the shape and the tooling. Pity the strap work wasn't thought through in advance. How do you carry it?
Nothing on this bag was really thought out in advance, I could put on a carrying strap of some kind depending on what it's used for.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw like it very much good job excellent job
hey brother, "that's world class work" freaking awesome
Beautiful work.
Thank you for sharing.
great video, loved your design! What was the creamy substance that you put on the leather after the neatsfoot oil? Thanks for sharing!
That was Fiebings Tan_Kote, it gives a nice satin finish, not too glossy.
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Stellar vid bro! Awesome, wifey Said I need to make her one.
waw waw waw fantastica . Can you please tel me what type of leather did you use for this and what is the thickness of the leather ? Thanks alot for your advice .
It was a long time ago so I don't remember exactly. It's about 8 - 10 oz leather, vegetable tanned, but I don't remember where I got it from.
Looks like a small saddle bag for a large dog or pony. Great work mate!!!
Beautiful indeed, but I'm trying to guess how to carry it, though :)
without a doubt it's beautiful but I always looked at leather work as form and function. this has no function.
Fantastico!!
The design is discutable ( embossed flowers), but the craftsmanship is Awesome! nothing to say. Very inpirational
I'm not sure what "discutable" means
beheadoth que
omg...such great skill.. thank you..
Hermoso trabajo, ficidades !!!
Now that’s amazing craftsmanship wow
beautiful thanx for sharing ehhh
BRAVO MI PIACI IO NON PUBBLICO MAI NIENTE MA SONO BRAVO È DAL 1991 CHE LAVORO IL CUOIO
Saddle bag style
Wonderful video and work, out of curiosity what are you treating the leather with @11:30?
Is it just dye? Or something else?
It's just Neatsfoot oil. It looks dark at first but lightens back up in a few days, although never as light as the raw leather.
oh duh! Just getting into leather working and should've realized this. Thanks for the reply!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow
Hello veri nice, sorrry i have one question, what is the lather you working??? It is lather or??
Harness leather
Un gran travajo !! Un artista
👍👍👍
Классно!!!
Beautiful work! Love it!

Incredible artistry!
Amazing work!!
that is a god damn work of art.
Awesome Work Man!
where you shop a leather
what tool is this @2:29? and what is its use?
I don't know it's name, but it's main purpose is for preparing double stiching, and also for making those inprints in wet leather.
That's what the skin is
Hermoso trabajo.
Amazing job!
