Adding a liner to your leather projects opens a world of possibilities! A liner can be used to add a pop of color to your product or maybe you just need to double up on your leather to reach the desired thickness needed for your project. Either way, lining leather is a simple process and as Chuck says " the sky is the limit"! In this video, Chuck lines a pouch with some of our new pigskin lining.

What about a fabric liner?
You can tell this man literally cares about his job. He loves to teach and loves the topic. You have definitely been an inspiration and a great teacher! Keep up the great work!

Chuck D. you're the Bob Ross of leather work.
Every time I watch your video, my boyfriend is like “Hi Chuck!” LOL
Why this Guy dose not have his own tv show in beyond me. The create channel could really use him! Thanks chuck for all your work you do for us!
I was thinking about Create myself when I read what you said "have his own tv show". Then I looked down and saw you referenced it.
I completely agree.
Hi Chuck. How nice to have you join me for lunch here in the UK. I'd like to see how you finish the edges. Would you cut the liner slightly short or try bevelling and burnishing the sandwich of different colours? A 'Part 2' would be really useful. Thanks for all your work.
Chuck, your enthusiasm and level of expertise, makes even a novices feel like they can do it. You explain it so well, and I love when you get "rolling", showing a sure sign of how passionate you are and how lucky we are to have someone take their time and share your knowledge. Cant thank you enough. Need to go to the next trade show that you are at, so please let people know when you will be around.
Chuck rocks...between him and skilltree I've become a leather fanatic....and spent alot of money
Me too
This is fantastic. I've actually been wondering about liner. It's like you've read my mind. :)
I think this is one of your best videos, really got the ideas flowing
I love this gentleman really brings the mood up
Absolutely love Chuck's videos -- lights a fire under my chair to try new things!
Great video, lot of useful information in here. And also a pleasure to watch, you can clearly see how much passion Chuck puts into his work.
Plenty of tips again Chuck, thank you. 😊
Inspirational and sound advice, as ever Chuck. A great element.
I watch all of your videos, if not for the great info you share, I would watch them for your contagious enthusiasm. Thank you.
So I'm looking to make a custom revolver holster for my father's and I's revolvers, it is a godsend I found your content. Thank You.
The three musketeers ... thats one fantasitc piece you made there .
THANK YOU! Looking everywhere for how to firm up leather with leather! You made my day!!
hello Mr. dorsett thank you for the great videos a lot of information excellent explained easy to understand. your videos made me work with leather thank you very much
Sir, you are AMAZING! I was very intimidated and delayed working with leather for YEARS. You give me confidence and a new sense of adventure to be creative with confidence. God Bless you and keep ´em coming.
Thank you for all your teaching videos, I have learned so much from you! Great job! Super appreciated
Great content. Answered all questions i had previously about leather liners
Good stuff, I've had folks wanting high-end looks but insisted flocking would do it. Later crying that it doesn't last and I'm a bandit for doing what they wanted, even after I explained the options to them. People are crazy. Do it right or don't do it at all. Keep your reputation. Kudos to this man for explaining what needs to be done and why.
Chuck, I thoroughly enjoy your videos and working with a great company Weaver Leathercraft is the perfect team to help the leathercraft community.
Graph Guy thanks so much!
Glad I found this video I was actually wondering if I could line chrome tan with veg tan. Now it's going to help me a lot with making my wallet.
wonderful. you are a good teacher. thanks for all the information you give us.
Nice one Chuck!
Hey, Chuck - Another great video lesson. I've been watching all of them. I love the filigree pieces! Thanks, man.
Thank you, Bill!
Chuck, you never fail to show me something new. I never considered using a veg tan liner to give body to a thinner, more supple leather. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Laura!
Wonderful colors!!...
Another great video, thanks so much!
I want to line all my projects now! :P
This guy is awesome. Loads of great tips and ideas and concise
Thank you, Jason!
Paint roller... freaking awesome idea
When applying vaneers to large surfaces in wood working, the contact cement is applied to both sides, allowed to dry to the touch, battens are placed across the bottom piece, the vaneer positioned on top, and the battens pulled out one at a time, allowing the surfaces to come together.
That can be done with leather, either by placing the stiffer leather on top to avoid sagging, or by using a solid sheet, like a large cutting mat, as the separator.
This is exactly the explanation I needed! Thank you! Cheers from Poland!
Great to hear!
Love this guy!
His videos give me 'This Old House' vibes..love it
Love this one!
Loving the energy brother. Great video
Great video! That rapier carrier is gorgeous!
Arctic Arsenal thank you!
Idea to splice belting, ...use the 1 1/2 “ belt punch, on a long angle... and create a couple notches, add four rivets... finish with a detailed square glued on.
I just came here to get some tips on lining a piece of veg-tan. Which I got, thank you! Now I want to go purchase more suede.
Great to hear! You're welcome :)
I love this guy, if I have a bad day he changes my attitude
Hey Chuck thanks for the show last weekend, it was a pleasure meeting you! I'm sure some of your guests will take up this wonderful hobby . Hope to see you again when your in the area and would like to bring a few projects that I've learned to craft from you Thanks brother!
Bizzy Beez lawn-n-landscape thank you so much for stopping by! A pleasure meeting you as well!
Excellent info
Going to order some glue! Thanks Chuck!
Awesome video! Can you please please please do a series on how to make a full suit of leather armor? That set you have in the back is gorgeous!
I am from Germany and youre work is amazing. Thank you for this Videos.I like only black and brown leather .
oilfortheworld thank you so much and hello from the US!
Hi Chuck, we’ve watched many of your videos, and I’m wondering if you’ve ever heard of a pressing bag? If you make a bag or pouch and need to turn it right sides out, you could slip a sewing ham inside then flatten your seams with a mallet. It should give a better look
Awesome stuff! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Chuck, Your enthusiasm makes me want to cover the globe with leather. Your employer should be wary of ever losing you.
Good tips !
good job
Excellent and instructional as are all your vids. I've been trimming my liners just a little smaller to allow edge finishing. Am I missing a trick or technique to do it easier? You can imagine the line up issues and extra cutting involved.
Wonderful
This guy is great 👏👏
Thank you for another great video on lining leather, Chuck! I lined my first wallets recently after watching your previous videos and love how they came out. I’m definitely going to try out the filigree method on a piece soon. Any chance you could do a video on trimming lined leather?
Thank you, Beau! So glad the wallets turned out good for you! We can definitely look at doing a video on trimming lined leather, would you want just showing how to trim the excess liner or how to finish the edges once it's lined and trimmed? Thanks!
Love all the Weaver videos !!!
Thank you so much!
@@WeaverLeatherSupply my name is Page Harris III. I did some leather craft when I was 10-11 years old. That was it until I saw a Weaver video about three months back. I’m 66 years old now and starting my leather craft career. Keep up the great videos. They are truly so helpful. Thank y’all
I really like your works and I appreciate that you are teaching us amazing ideas. I have a quick question. What kind of liner should I prefer on a watch strap? Do you think using veg tan is a good idea?
good one
OMG.... Sooooo many good ideas..... I'm afraid to watch anymore.. But, I will.. I'm always looking to learn new things. This is going to be my new obsession.. My husband isn't going to like this..... LOL Thank you for the videos.
Be forewarned, it quickly becomes an addiction!
Great stuff! Here’s and idea I would love to see. A custom hardshell acoustic guitar case. Hair/fur on hide on the inside would be beautiful.
I'd like to see that too, but I think it would have to be made of wood or a hard plastic like ABS first, and then covered like most hardshell cases are. There's a series of 3 or 4 books about making various boxes and cases at Tandy, and one of them does have a guitar case in the cover photo. I'll try to find it sometime today.
@@jamesthe-doctor8981
That would be cool. In my head, I imagined using rawhide. Wet it, form it, dry it. Rawhide stitching to attach the sides/back. Glue and sew a nice leather on the outside with the fur-on leather glued a sewed in the inside. Metal riveted hardware. I think it could be done. You could even use several thinner pieces of rawhide and cross-orient the grain and make a “veneer” of sorts, just like plywood.
You Rock!
Hi Chuck, Thanks for another great video. Q: if you were lining with wool felt, would you put glue on that material or just on the veg-tan piece to be lined with the wool felt?
Hey Chuck, thanks once again for this awesome segment. As a suggestion: I'd like some tips on skiving leather. In my country we can only find 4 to 5 oz, and when making wallets I have to skive by hand, and I'd like to know how to do it better (I have been using a skiving knife, and I have been looking into buying a french edge skiving tool too, so tips on both or something would be great). Thank you very very much once again for taking the time and being an amazing presenter.
Hi Bruno,
A French edger is good for thinning a larger piece of leather and then we also have a flat skife knife for thinning the edges. We'll link a video below where Corter Leather uses both of these knives to build a card wallet.

Another great video Chuck! i have a video suggestion and also a question on a project i have been asked to do. Adding rabbit fur as a liner! as always i love torturing myself with a challenge... this will be my first lined project and i am trying to tackle adding rabbit fur as a liner on a big axe sheath. i have watched all the liner videos you have and haven't seen anything with rabbit on veg tan. very uncommon to have rabbit on a sheath, but have seen it on armor plenty and have been wondering whatthe best techniques and any tips might be for sewing around the fur, and cementing.
very informative and I know its an older video but I have questions.... Does the linning peel over time? how do you prevent this from happening? by stitching all around the edges? by peeling I mean separate
c
Cool examples.
Chuck, if the worriers from King Richard the great could see your leather work, I’m sure they would envious of your. Best regards, Richard
Thanks for the enthusiasm and the skill at teaching it makes me want to pick up a small patter and leather and try my hand. I do have a question regarding Hardened Leather projects. When working with leather that your going to hardened do you stich it all together before hand or after?
Hi Bryan,
We recommend stitching after hardening but, you will want to punch your stitch holes beforehand.
I'm just curious, how would that pigskin work as a liner for a holster? Thanks and I love the videos!
On the filigree do you need to glue it down? If so just where the leather will sit or what?
I'm working on putting together a pattern for a pen slipcase and wanted to line it to create some contrast. Would suede be a problem against the metal and resin of a handmade pen? Same for chrome tanned leather. I've heard it can interact with metals. is that something I should be concerned about when choosing leather for this project?
Hey. Could you man a video detailing the steps in making a leather cowboy hat?
Quick question I noticed you cut the leather to size right after glueing it together is there a reason why you wouldnt want to let it cure/dry before cutting it to the exact size ? Does it make a difference at all? Or because you used contact cement it doesn't really dry/cure I know it reaches full strength after 12-24 hours something like that. So if I used a different glue white craft, fabric, tacky w/e I have on hand would it be better to wait for the glue to dry first or cut it right away
Can you do an episode showing the bake hardened process? Would live to see how that works without the leather getting brittle.
Chuck, on the filigree work, is that glue only for the inner details?
can you wet form after the liner or do you do that before adding the liner ?
Great video but I’d like to see how the edges are finished in a fully lined piece with a backing put on thx
Why didnt i watch this before i made my leather armor 😫. Well time for a redesign haha.
Also is there an easy way i line finished armor?
Is it OK to use a diff type or lighter weight leather for a welt than the weight of the product?
Referring back to your mask episode where you baked the mask, how could you "line" it with a suede to make it more comfortable and form fitting?
Great video! Roll more ...
Can I line in suede after I wet form let's say a mask so it's more comfortable?
I am creating a gorget for my leather armor project. I need to create a bend for my shoulders, what is the best way to do this?
It is easy to work with thick leather. Magicize something with crumpled suede leather.
is chrome and suede the same?
He worked a tough job with that in his pocket everyday. Just built me a new one for the same reason.
Any suggestions for lining turned bags? When turning the lining wrinkles and ends up looking terrible even when using barges. How can I line without gluing it in? People have said to do a "drop in" liner but I'm hand stitching so not sure how that would work?
I'm curious about this too. I'm just starting out on bag making so I've been using less expensive canvas with the intention of moving on to leather. My liner canvas always wrinkles and looks too big. I bet with leather it looks even worse because the leather is stiffer.
If you do a drop in liner, take a bigger seam allowance so it ends up slightly smaller than the bag. It won’t wrinkle as much.
This might help. I saw this last week.

Thanx for the tip Chuck. What would you suggest with thinner material for a liner? Glueing seeps through, so what would you suggest?
Nico Ackermann I don’t use fabric liner very much but 3M makes a spray glue that works pretty good!
If I'm looking to make my own boots and shoes, would suede be a good liner for those, or would it grip too much? Maybe for the bottom, where the foot rests?
It would definitely add some grip so I would probably just do the bottom or the bottom and a small piece at the back of the shoe.
Quick question. If you normally alive down the edges before sewing, would you just first line the area and skive later? I imaging that would be difficult with glue in there. Or would you suggest cutting out your pieces first then skive before lining? Thank you for your videos!
Skive/shave not “alive” 😂
Hi Chuck! I have some pig lining that I'm going to try.... I need help with dyeing. I use pro dye and have no problems, but only with Saddle Tan. It's my favourite colour to use but it bugs me! Haha I dye it as I do with other colours but it seems to look blackish after few dyes. I dye once, then wipe, then dye again. Wait 2 minutes and wipe excess off. Then dye again... And again... And again Hahaha I have used a whole small bottle on my last sheath! I need tips on using Saddle Tan please. Cheers mate.... Love your work! I wish Weaver were in Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
Cheers Australia! It sounds like you may just be using too much dye. I would try to get as much coverage in the first pass (sponge) without it dripping wet and then make one more pass and let it dry there. That should keep that pretty Saddle Tan color (one of my favorites too!).
How do you deal with edgework when lining a veg body? I tried this and the edges got..well, theres is a line of chrometan that dosent want to slick? Is the only option edgepaints?
That's a good question and I've been wondering the same thing. Hopefully we can both get the answer to this.
It looks like in his projects that he cuts the liner short so he can glue veg tan to veg tan or whatever leather he using for a better edge finish? I am curious of the answer though. If someone figures it out, please let me know!!
Getting that tiny gap between stitch and edge fitted all away around? lets call it 1mm, trimming that 1mm all away around and then glueing it down preciselyprecisely man it feels very fiddly? Now thinking, after having watched some videos on shoemaking, that maybe... I could glue the chrome down, leave ~5mm in from the edge unglued, then trim it ? Skip gluing that part down on the frontpiece and just letting gluing the backing fix it before stitching? ...yeah realy trying to find a good soloution. all tips welcome, maybe it just is a fiddly thing to do one has to learn to put up with :P
What if I want to add a fabric as a liner. What glue should I use and what kind os fabric fit better without wrinkle? Thanks
I'm wondering about this too.
Sheep skin liner for rifle case. This video helps.
Hello! I'm from Bulgaria! First, I want to apologize for my bad English! And ask, what thickness leather using for the pad. Аnd what thickness leather that you use for the production of bags and wallets! thank you in advance and I apologize for the anxiety I'm causing you!
Is it ok to not line your rolltop backpack ?
Would have liked to see how you glued the suede on the filigree work.
Hi Chris,
We actually have a video showing that process, we'll link it below for you.
th-cam.com/video/HBPOuOk7pUw/w-d-xo.html
How do you deal with wrinkling in the corners of that briefcase? I keep thinking I need to glue the pieces together in nearly the final shape to keep the tension even on both sides.
Good question. When I line a wallet, it always wrinkles around the bend. Doesn't bother me too much, but if I was selling wallets I wouldn't be ok with it.
Christian we have a video showing how the briefcase was made that you can check out here: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/cp_/shop-by-project/bags/leather-briefcase
