- My father has this watch for many years now. But the band broke few weeks ago. So he asked me to make him a new leather watch band.
He wanted something close to a bracer rather than a simple watch band he could buy in any store. That's what I came up with.
I hope you will like it.

waouh amazing result, love the contrast of the red string and black leather...
Keep it up Dude :D
Thank you Olivier. I appreciate it !
The Redsmith damn that's nice!! Great job!! I would love to do something like that!!!
Bravisimo
I had a thick leather watch band back in the 70's as a kid. I thought is was the coolest. Bringing cool back one project at a time.
Thank you Chad :)
The Redsmith 👍
Lovely work. It was great watching it come to life. Best part was the little leather worker hammering...!
Lila B Thank you very much. The kid likes to help. He loves hammering stuff 😉 Thanks for watching.
That watch is HUGE! I want to put it on a necklace and walk around saying, YEAAAAAH BOYYYYYY!!!!!
Thanks a lot! ;)
I liked the work and enjoyed the music, but to me, what made me love the video was to see (I'm assuming is) your kid "helping" you, specially when you pointed where to hit. It cracked me up!
conguerican Thank you very much. Yes it's my little boy. He loves helping me. Specially when a mallet is involved 😊
great leather work - and the music really help set a great tone.
Thank you Jimi. That kind of music and leatherwork go really well together I think.
I love the little helper. Excellent.
Thanks. He likes to help me building stuff :)
A dedicated artist filled with so much passion for his work!!!!!
You are one of a kind keep up!!
Ur the man!!!!
Thank you very much Teresa. Much appreciated!!!
I really like watching your leather work. I save these videos for the day when I start to try leather work. Great job. Scott
Thanks Scott. I appreciate it ! Hope you get started soon, leatherworking is very fun !
I make these too, just haven't made this style yet. I like the red suede underneath. Looks clean and works great with the red thread.
Your kid whacking your hand was cute. 👍
Thanks a lot :) He likes doing that!! :)
Congratulations on the excellent work,
research and patience,
Mostly, it looks very handsome.
Thank you very much ! I appreciate it.
Awesome work ! Really like the closeup views while you're working !
Thanks Rémy. Closeups are very handy to hide the mess of the shop ;)
This would have taken easily a week to make with all the drying and pattern making, the sewing. My gosh. And the soaking of the leather. (If you do that.) very impressive!
A little bit more than 3 days, but yes, it took me a long time to do it. Happy you liked it. Thank you for watching!!
Looks awesome! Love the red and black color scheme!
Thanks Chris. I love the contrast between black and red ;)
Y así se trabaja en cuero ..señoras y señores,que bella pieza mis felicitaciones
Muchas gracias
Looks great and cool to see you have a helper
Thanks. He was a great help. He loves working with me, I mean, mostly hitting stuff with a mallet, but I love it. ;)
This is one project I want to make in the near future
Send me picture when you're done with it ;)
Very nice
Thank you !
I like watching podcasts and these simultaneously
What podcasts ?
Gorgeous work.
Congratulations.
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks a lot!!
Love what you did with the Hublot you have given me some idea to do with mine as I've always hated the rubber strap that it came with and although it also came with a leather one as well it just fails to do the watch its self justice.
Tobius Lunar Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Very cool brother... love dads watch!!
Thanks Lonnie. Hope he likes it too ;)
lol. so funny... kid smashing dad's knuckles with wooden mallet....(2:37).... labor of love i guess..... good video. thanks.
Thanks a lot ! :)
Labor of love for sure. He loves helping me. He also did for the Viking Tent.
That Came Out Beautiful!!!!👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much !
Beautiful work. Beautiful video.
Thank you !
Jaw dropping awesome project I love it
Thank you very much ! :)
Man that's awesome buddy you make it look so easy. Hope your hand is ok after your kid mistook it for an anvil hahah 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks buddy. No, my hand is fine, he doesn't hit very hard. For now :)

Great work. You do inspire.
Thank you very much Dan !
Nicely done!

That's some nice leatherwork, Red! :D
I like the idea of a cuff style watch. I been wanting to make a steampunk styled one for a while :P
Thanks Azayles ! I saw a steampunk one few years ago. I think that's what inspired me for this one.
Bet he likes it! that's a man's watchband!
He seams to ;) Thanks for watching !
Lol no real man would wear that hipster trash. Well made. Sure. But it’s trashy
ça c' est du beau travail, mes yeux se sont régalé merci du coup je m' abonne .

Dude, you killed it. Again. Beautiful
Thanks Andy ! Happy you liked it.
Might have been interesting to know a bit more about the different stages, what kind of leathers, what kind of strand, which products you use, why and when, etc... other than that nice music.
I'll be happy to answer any question you have
@@RedSmithWorkshop Thank you Red. In fact I have so many questions I think I would better first try to get the basics with a training somewhere before annoying you with that. For ex, I wondered how you chose the leather thickness according to your projects, and also how you chose the strands types, what that red under layer was, what was that white milk looking product you used, etc....
I think I 'd better have at least a basic understanding of the whole process before I take the next step into it and choose the tools I would use to start with.
I also wonder if I can start with basic cheap tools or if I better go with some serious stuff right away. I'm a musician myself and I know from experience that buying cheap often led people to stop the hobby. I don't know if it's the same here. Have a nice one buddy ! And thank you very much for your attention and help.
Chosing the leather is an important part of a project. If the project need to be resistant to any kind of stress a thicker leather is the way to go. But if it's too thick it won't bend very easily. I use coton or polyester waxed thread. 0.8 or 1mm thick for wallets, belt and other project. Same thing as leather, if it need to be strong, it needs to be thick. The red under layer is just suede to have a smoother contact to the skin. The white product is a leather finish. It seals the leather and give it a nice shiny and polish effect.
I tend to agree with you about the tools or instruments. A lot of people buy cheap tools when they start leatherworking, but they don't get the desired results and quickly give up. I prefer to buy a few good quality tools and buy more when I need them. This way I'm sure I have tool that will last me forever and if something is badly made, it's all on me, and not on my tools ;)
I hope it helps! Let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks for watching!
@@RedSmithWorkshop Thank you so much Red, I really appreciate! It helped a lot for sure! I live in Eur. so I will try to find a convenient supplier for the first tools, also find a training course and get me started. Have a nice one over there. All the best for 2021!
If you're in the UK you can find a lot of online shop for tools. I also have a few addresses in France.
Very cool project, looks the part! Is the screw connection between watch and leather strong enough?
Thank you ! The screws are going through the leather, into a metal threaded hole under it, which makes it pretty strong ;)
I love your colour scheme very nice indeed and the craftmanship is bang on. I must ask was the leather a bit old? Because it looked a bit crumbly
Hot Lava Thank you very much. Yes it was a bit old and dry. I used a leftover from a previois project 😊
The Redsmith Oh oki but i saw you did a great job of bringing it back to life very Good job indeed
Thanks a lot :)
The Redsmith Oh you're welcome
I like the step by step process, but I would like it if you showed the stuff brushed on. Just a quick flash of the label before you apply it.
I mainly use products I bought in Japan and can't be found elsewhere, but if you have any question about it, I will be happy to answer :)
The Redsmith it's just that I don't know anything about it so I'm not sure why you're doing what you're doing. I could the people with some experience probably understand but I don't know any of it
Well, to answer quickly, I use vegetable tanned leather. I burnished the edges with a leather finish called Toko Finishi. I used black leather dye then applied natural oil and two coats of leather finish to protect it and make it shiny. That's pretty much it. Thanks for watching and your interest in leatherworking. :)
The Redsmith Thank you! I'm using your video as a base to make Legend of Zelda watch bracer, so the information is appreciated.
M. R. Watson Legend of Zelda watch bracer ?! Woaw That's cool ! I would love to see that. If you have any more question, feel free to ask. I will do my best to try and help you.
Good job!
Thanks a lot!!
Totally amazing again. Total time on this watch band ?..... Thanks Mike
Thank you Mike. Around 4 hours for this one. Dye needs to dry ;)
Looks fantastic, nicely done 🤓👍🏼
Thanks :)
Me agrado mucho el trabajo y la forma de hacerlo 👏👍
gracias
Box do you do to change the watch button energy ? You know the duracelle
Bruce Wayne By unscrewing four small screws on top and bottom of the watch, you can take the band off and change the battery very easily😊 Thanks for watching
Amazing
Thank you very much!!
Great job.
Thank you very much!!
That is pretty awesome! I'm interested in beginning something like this myself. Is there a 'how to' for beginners and a list of tools I need? Thanks...
Thank you very much. The tools you could need are listed in one of my Instructables : www.instructables.com/id/Blacksmiths-Wrist-Cuff-Custom-Bracer/
It's not this watch band but the work done is very close to this one. I'm working on an Instructable for this one too and will publish it as some point. :) Thanks for watching.
Great stuff! Thanks for your help!!
You're very welcome. Always happy to help and share what I know :)
bravo👏👏👏👏👏 saludos desde chile!!!
muchas gracias :) Saludaos de Francia
Well done!
Thank you ! ;)
Cool ton hublot, j'espère que ta main n'a pas enflée. ^^
Merci. Bon c'est pas une vraie mais c'est pas grave. Non, ça va, la main va bien ;)
Masterpiece loved it.
Thank you Sir!
Nice video brother!:)
Thank you !
Отличная работа! Good!!!!!!

Большое спасибо!!
@@RedSmithWorkshop Вы русскоязычный?
Нет я француз
Месье принимает заказы?
Я делаю. это зависит от проекта и бюджета
Amazing !!
Thanks ;)
BIG COMPLIMENT👌👌👌👌
Thanks Lukas !
Parabéns gostei muito do seu vídeo mostrando como fazer a pulseira bracelete vou fazer uma para meu relógio obrigado fica com Deus 👏👏👏🙏
Muito obrigado. Que bom que você gostou.
This looks amazing, I just have one question though, how would you change the battey without taking apart the whole thing?
MrSquirmyPig Thank you very much. Just by unscrewing the two little screws on top (or bottom) of the watch, you can access to the back of it.
Beautiful work! thanks for teaching me the technic. Do you think some place like Michaels would have everything I need or do u have any tips or places that might be better for my first time at this?
Thank you Ricardo ! It depends on where you live. If you are in the US, you can go to Tandy Leather. They have all the supplies you need for leathercrafting. If you're not living in the US, you can order it online on their website :)
Thank you very much for your response, I live in California. I will be looking them up on line and also around my area.
Thanks Ricardo. I hope you'll find everything you need. If you have more questions, don't hesitate :)
Thank you , I will.
Fantástic👍
Thank you very much !!
Awesome brother 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Chris. I appreciate it. :)
The Redsmith yes sir buddy. I've been catching up on my videos lately.
Cool. I've got to catch up on some makers too.
First, the little helper is awesome, how's the knuckle?! lol. Second, I don't mean to be ignorant but what are the two liquids you are using? one you wiped on and one brushed, if you do not mind me asking. Thanks for the inspiration, stellar work!
Thank you very much ! My knuckle is ok, he doesn't hit that hard yet. I don't mind at all, always happy to share and help : the one I rubbed is leather oil. The one I brushed is a leather finish, like a varnish, two coat of each and you're good to go ;) Thanks for watching !
Wonderful job I'm also a Leather smith great video may I ask the brand of watch or
Model of
It
Thank you very much. It's a (fake) Hublot. Sorry, but I don't know the model. I've seen your tool collection. Quite impressive ! :)
thanks so much Sir means a lot and thanks for the info also i just uploaded new videos hope you enjoy
You're welcome. Keep uploading good content ! :)
Coming in little late, but... It's a Hublot Big Bang.
LordXenon101 Thanks I always wondered 😊
Hola. Cuánto me cobraría por hacerme uno igual y mandármelo a Trujillo - Perú?
Hola. Gracias por ver. Necesitaría un reloj para eso, y desafortunadamente sería muy caro.
AMAZING
Thanks a lot!!
Padrão!!!
Isso é uma pergunta ou um pedido?
That was oddly satisfying!!!
Thank you very much !
can you make an exact copy of it and sell it or list where you got the supplies from
Of the band or watch + band ?
Nicework
Thank you!!
Beautiful!!!
Thanks for the support Eloy ! :)
Love the kid just going to town with the mallet
He likes to help ;)
Hi Redsmith, thank you for sharing good content about leather, if you dont mind, may I know what kind of leather you use?
Hey mate! Thank you very much. For the band I used 2.6mm vegetable tanned leather, and for the smaller parts holding the watch, 1.4mm vegetable tanned leather. I hope it helps. And thanks for watching!
@@RedSmithWorkshop Thank you so much for sharing mate, you're the best
@@tatanodachi My pleasure 😊
I like it. The best
Thank you!!
@@RedSmithWorkshop ok
Trop la classe !! so great !!
Merci ;)
Das ist perfekt.
Danke!
What kind of board were you using to punch holes through the leather?
It's a pvc board. Thanks for watching
Is it a pain to change the battery?
That Guy with the Blueberry Pie Not really. Only four screw to unscrew 😊
Wow that was a fast reply, thank you
That Guy with the Blueberry Pie I was connected
Yours was pretty fast too.😉
