I love that he accidentally invented a traveller's notebook.
We need a commercial for Cornelious's Clever Contraptions.
The Tome of the Wanderer
A travelers journal out of scrap leather instead of $80+ (USD…on sale) yup.
@@Jaeler9I have plenty of this type of notebooks never spent more then like 10-15$ you just need to find local places to buy them rather than the internet. (Edit: spelling correction)
I still cannot believe this channel doesn't have more subscribers. Even at just over 100k, the video quality and upload schedule puts some content creators with millions of subscribers to shame. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Skill Tree team. Keep on doing what you're doing, and here's to many more #scraps giveaways!
Regarding the dice pouch I have an idea.
Make it little larger and put gromets on the holes so the strap can be inserted and removed easily allowing the leather to lie flat; then the inside can be printed or stamped with a gaming board, nine mans morris, chess or the like and then when you make it back into a pouch you can hold the pieces to make a travel gaming set.
I’ve got a hnefetafl set like this
I fully understand the concept of not knowing what to do with leather scraps. About 15 years ago I purchased some leather scraps, and by that what I mean is I ended up with 3 yard trash bags filed to the brim with leather scraps of varying sizes. I am talking about 3 ~55 gallon trash bags with scraps ranging from a few square inches all the way up to pieces that were 2 foot by 3 foot and I paid a grand total of 50 silver coins for the lot! For anyone who is not familiar with the conversion rate of silver coins, a 2foot by 3 foot piece of leather would cost around 400-600 silver coins by it self o.O . All that being said, I have done a fair few projects over the years ranging from bags to ropes and I even made myself a leather kilt! I still have nearly 2/3 of one bag left of all the smallest scraps that I have been attempting to find a use for, and I love the book marks! I will certinaly be making one of them, I also had inspiration from the keychain project.
I made my own skirt hikes with scraps and old key rings and they turned out functional!
When stamping letters like you did with the Keychain, I like to use a piece of masking tape as a straight edge, it's removable and is thick enough to register against the bottom of the stamp to insure an even lower edge
That is a good idea.
As someone who loves to sew, I'm imagining all these projects in scrap fabric too. But the nice thing about leather is you don't have to work about fraying edges! So fun! #scraps
Same!
Love the ideas maybe you could turn it into some kind of series or a challenge or something. #scrap
I've been showing my husband these videos to help him learn more about leather working! I love all the projects you do and how accessible you make them!
#scraps
This is great! I just started my leather projects and I already have a ton of scraps I can't get myself to toss out
These were awesome, I’m making a little leather bracelet out of an old belt and needed some inspiration and you just delivered it, keep staying awesome
Coming up with new projects almost every week must be hard, but you still manage to surprise us with something new every time after all this time. That's impressive!
I've been really intrigued by a lot of your projects, but haven't had the time and courage to actually try my hands on them. I hope that with the summer coming, and hopefully with a bag of #scraps under my nose, I'll finally be able to.
These ideas for #scraps are low-key easy enough to give a go! It's been years since I've done any leatherworking, and this makes me want to try it out again.
I love this! I may have to try that traveler's journal. The first leather I bought was some scraps that I fell in love with! One thing I love to do is combine leather work and crochet to get some beautiful leather and lace designs. I made a dice bag this way and it's so pretty.
I wanted to get into Leatherwork for a few months, but I don‘t wanted to buy much leather and then it is just laying around somewhere. I can only say thank you for showing how easy you can get into Larp and costume making. #scraps
This is awesome that you are giving away something that would be difficult for you to use all by yourself, to someone who would both use it, and appreciate it. Thank you. #scraps
This is by far one of my favorite channels on TH-cam right now. I love crafts and seeing all the cool stuff you make, especially when it is D&D related, as that is my game of choice as well! I also love how much you are involved with your community with stuff like your #scraps giveaway. So cool!
Love the cool quick journal especially. Great as always😎
I love my slim chrome tan! I also have a F- ton of veg tan. All that has been done today has been done for militias
Yay, another leather episode! And I get excited about scrap leather projects. I have quite a bit of scrap pieces laying around.
Thank you for the video. I really like these short #scraps projects. They're a good way to practice and level up without spending much. Plus it's nice to make the most of the material.
My mom was recently gifted a leather working kit with a bunch of stamps and other tools, and I keep sending her Skill Tree videos to inspire her to try it out! Maybe if we get some #scraps we can try some of your awesome ideas! Also, I owe someone a keychain that I was intending to hand paint, but this leather idea is so much cooler...
Really great to see someone else who gets super excited about learning new skills and seeing your development. Keep at it you're doing great!
#scraps
Absolutely amazing of you to do this! Been watching this channel for a few years now and I have definitely made some stuff you have put on here. #scraps
I'm so used to youtubers these days being full time influences that when he said his "day job" I was like woah is this channel still that small? Then I saw that yes, yes it is. Keep up the awesome work, you got big channel energy I'm sure you'll get there in no time.
Thank you for all you do, and for spreading the love of creativity around. #scraps
These episodes are very cool. I like seeing what you do with leftovers and I appreciate that you don't let stuff go to waste. #scraps
I love your channel. You got me into leatherworking with the rangers quiver and now I've got a small side hustle of making wallets that's growing faster than my skill lol. I always keep coming back to watch your videos even though I'm not making the things you are just for your personality.
An easy way to step up the quality of your key chain is just to cut the tucked end to match the hardware it is meeting -- so in the case of a key ring, using a round end punch to cut a concave end to the leather piece that is tucked under and butts up against the ring will help it sit flush and allow the ring to move smoothly.
Glad to see people not wasting any #scraps and using them for little projects like these.
Been assigned to teaching basic leatherwork at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in LA. So grateful for your videos!
Love all your projects! My first ever leather project was making a leather old notebook with burned pages. I was so naive I used antique gel dye thinking it was just normal dye that had an antique look. So it came out extremely dark color despite being “medium brown” lol. I now learned from your videos how to properly do everything and can’t wait to remake it. Just it’s so spendy to get good leather I haven’t been able to yet. #scraps
My Dad just gave me his old leather working stuff and I am super excited to add some actual leather to my cosplays. And I love that you keep your #scraps , there is so much that can be made with them.
This channel is amazing and I love the quality of videos you make. It’s shocking you don’t have more subscribers. I’m looking forward to trying some of the projects you’ve made! #scraps
I have been binging on your videos for a few weeks. I LOVE the stuff you make! I'm currently in the middle of making my own Golem, Staff of the Wanderer, and armor! ❤ #scraps !
These projects are so quick it's an amazing idea! You're always an inspiration, thank you.
Have fun at that larp, can't wait to see how it goes!
#scraps
I love the leather videos on this channel--they have helped me so much in my own journey of figuring out how to make cool looking things from leather. It is awesome to have some ideas for using up those #scraps !
I love this notebook idea! I've had two red leather notebooks that I've filled, so maybe this is my push to make the next one. As someone still very new to leather crafting, I'm always looking for projects I could handle and this is perfect. And only using #scraps could make it an even more interesting project.
These ideas will be perfect for procrastinating the final steps of my spaulders! The chrome tan ones look especially fancy! Dice bags make great gifts for dice goblins, of course. Congrats on 100k, here's to the next milestone! 🍻 #scraps!
I love all these #scraps ideas. I hate wasting sizable pieces and it's awesome to see what you've done.
I'm thinking of some of the cool things I could do pairing leather with the crochet projects I'm in
Love the suggestions! And recently upgraded my mini sewing kit with leather scissor sheath and needle case. Great #scraps ideas!
Wonderful. Very Informative. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.
❤ these #scraps ideas! Simple, easy to make, useful, and potentially profitable at faires. Thank you so much for sharing your skills, enthusiasm, and great ideas!
It has been a year that I follow you and I love your creativity and energy! Thank you for sharing and inspiring us to follow your steps #scraps
That ring is everything 😍 I'm just imagining going through with glowing paint too, making it glow and dying it dark...goodness! You always give me such inspiration~ #scraps
I love watching all of your different projects. Loads of fun. #scraps
Man I love how you come up with cool tiny little products. Honestly as someone who keeps small notebooks on me at all times I love your notebook holder idea. #scraps
Hello, just found your channel... and sooo glad I did. Love the excitement and sharing ideas. #scraps 👍🏼
First time TH-cam has thrown this chap at me and my first reaction was that he appears to be having a stroke but much to my surprise this turns out to be both entertaining and inspires a couple of little projects. Glad I found this and will watch some more. Thanks.
Love the quality of all your projects and video, keep up the good work
#scraps
These are such a cool set of easy
to do with # Scraps. Cant wait to try some my self. Love this show always excited to see what you come up with.
My boyfriend just started working with leather and his pieces have come out amazing! So finding this channel has been extra great to give him helpful tips and little projects! #scraps
Love the channel, keep up the great work. You're always so enthused about making things which is awesome and contagious. #scraps
I super love this stuff. I still have no clue what I would make as there are so many super cool projects you have made over the years... I think I would end up making some sort of super cool bag. Your black and yellow one was super cool.
These are some great ideas, loving the no waste mindset. I'll definitely be trying all these out soon! #scraps
The leather ring idea is great, I think I’m going to make one as a gift using a baseball stitch for a friend who likes baseball a lot. The other ideas are also great uses for #scraps I hadn’t considered before. I usually just use my scraps for testing carvings and dyes and such.
Yep I can concur I've started a small business thanks to your videos ! So thank you for making amazing content!
#Scraps! I just finished making my version of your DM screen for my son. I put a pic in FB and now 2 people want to buy one from me. I was really proud of myself when I realized that I had independently made the exact same design for a dice bag that you show in this video. I love your channel! Keep being awesome!
great ideas as usual. I make a lot of things with leather scraps. i have made a lot of the projects you have made on your channel. really cool #scraps I can't wait to see what you do next.
❤ love your videos. You all are a huge inspiration. I enjoy the projects you do, but i appreciate more mistakes being showen. It shows an authenticity to me. #scraps
Always instant click when I see Skill Tree pop up in my subscriptions, Love all the projects and ideas here! Definitely a good way to use up #scraps !
You never cease to get the creative vibes going, thank you! #scraps
This is my first video and I am super grateful I stumbled upon you. A long time since I've worked with leather #scraps
New subscriber with the bell turned on and always a 👍
#scraps I recently found your content and binged it as fast as I could. Your channel has opened my eyes to this world and I can't wait to join you all. I want to customize a camper to look like an old shack to stay at any event and still be in character. After the army I started playing dnd with my boys (10+12) and have slowly been sucked into everything rpg. Thank you so much for spreading your knowledge and building this amazing community! Enjoy Germany yall!
Always like seeing the new and creative ways you bring your ideas to the real world! #scraps
I've been wanting to get into leatherworking for so long now and oh man do I love what you do and how approachable you've made it! I get most of my fabric secondhand because sewing and costumes are expensive, and it allows me to try fun experiments without too much investment! would love to get some leather the same way! #scraps
I have been really wanting to get into leather making! Especially for finishing out my dog and husbands costumes! Loved this episode. #scraps
Great video. I like that you will show your mistakes. It’s a process and most videos just show the final product.
I can't wait to test out some of these smaller projects! Some #scraps would be huge, I have some leather I've been using to learn but decent quality has been out of my price range so far. Best wishes and keep up the good content!
Ooh that journal is neat. Congrats on the 100k and I hope everyone able to go to the event has a blast! #scraps
The rings are such a good idea to customize quickly a costume! Want a ton of rings with runes, there ya go!
that notebook is also really cool!
Just recently got into leather smithing and love these ideas. Use all that you got and don't let it go to waste. #scraps
Love these! I’m just getting into leather and buy mostly small scraps and bellies, so this is perfect
I love the ideas to use #scraps for little projects to minimize waste! I'm a bookworm & would love to try the bookmark!
Love these ideas and projects, I've made a few before and always forget about doing things like this with my kids. And with summer vacation coming up the should be fun lol great content as always man!!❤❤❤ #scraps
These are some fabulous ideas for scraps. I especially loved the ring idea. Keep up the good work. #scraps
Dude I forgot all about your channel!!! Was literally sitting at work just now and thought about it. TH-cam hasn’t recommended your channel in months. So glad I found it again, I will be hitting that Bell as soon as I send this comment!!!!
How fun is this? I like little projects that use #scraps like this because while you might not be able to use your handmade leather sword sheath or full harness of epic leather armor everyday, you can ABSOLUTELY use small projects like these all the time to bring a bit more fantasy flare into your day. It’s crazy how much functionality and potential a tiny square of leather and a few minutes with a knife can contain. Keep up the great work!
#scraps love when you put new stuff out. You've been a great encouragement to start my own leather and soon to be LARPing adventures with next year's Reckoning if it happens.
I’ve been watching you from the beginning. I think I was subscriber number 24. 😊 So happy you and your channel have grown so much! #scraps
Hey Clever, been watching your stuff for a little while now, super excited to start working on some projects when I get back to the States. In fact several of my friends have already started looking at their own projects and have begun looking for LARPs in our area, haha, super exciting stuff. Maybe some #scraps would be helpful for all of us. But regardless, keep up the awesome work, and let's keep leveling up together!
Can’t wait to try some of these with #scraps and more! I have a great idea for leaf inspired scale armor!
Thanks for the great video!
My son and I love watching these kinds of videos and trying these small projects with the leftover #scraps from me trying to level up with leather
As a new leatherworker I want to say thank you. Your videos have given me so many ideas. #scraps
I have been looking for simple projects to do to further my leather crafting skills and this video was perfect! Definitely looking forward to making some keychains and rings! #scraps
I love using scrap leather to make sewing thimbles! I can never get normal ones to fit so I make them like socks for my fingers, and sometimes reinforce them with double thickness leather! great use for #scraps :D Love the bag too, might do that for my dice! I made a rectangle pouch with scrap leather for my mini dice which was a lot of fun! Great video!
#scraps
I have been trying to get into leather working but life keeps getting in the way. I love this channel and have learned So much from you. Please keep up the Awesome work you do. You are a ray of light in my foggy life!
All these little projects are awesome! I'll have to try a few of them soon. Thank you for the video! #scraps
I love your stuff, you are fun to watch and really pass along your enthusiasm. #scraps
Awesome Video as always You are always so excited by what you're making and have come up with some really great designs. I've been wanting to get into some leather working and have been picking up tools for it at random, I just need some #scraps to try my hand at it. Keep up the great work my friend.
#scraps I've wanted to get into leather work for ages, big fan of jackets and such, but I think this channel has really helped push me into action
Great timing for me since I just started getting into leather working! I think I’d definitely try out these #scraps projects.
You sir never fail to surprise me when it comes to your other working. I have known about some of these ideas but not all of them or about how to create them because I've had some of the same it's so very. Smart move sir
#scraps
I love scrap crafts. I have bags of leather scrap and fabric scrap, and there are so many things you can make from them. I especially like doing small scale models, and little scraps are perfect for that.
Another useful and potentially profitable item to make from scrap leather is a little carrying case for headphones/ear buds. Keep them safe so you can listen to music on the go.
This video is great and full of fun ideas. You guys are doing amazing on the channel and the community. #scraps
going to a Larp for the first time in years! you helped me loads get back into it! thank you, hopefully I can bring what I make of your #Scraps to it!
Love the notebook cover, ring and key chain ideas. Keep at it! #scraps
The notebook idea with the pencil is genius!
Before this channel, I had a lot of hobbies. Miniature painter, laser engraving, 3d printing, and RPG's. But thanks to all of the cool things I have seen done, I have another hobby. #scraps
I love the book cover. I just started my own leather workshop and still need a lot of things to make it.
This has given me so many ideas for ren faire this year. Keep doing you ! #scraps
