Make a Fancy Leather Watch Strap (Full Tutorial!)
This week we've got the third and final tutorial in our watch strap series! This is the fanciest way we know how to make a watch strap - nice chrome tanned leather, an inner structure piece, finished edges, nice french lining - we throw the whole bag of tricks at this one and you can follow along to make your own! So many folks have followed along with our other two watch strap tutorials working from simple on up, we can't wait to see what you make!

Thank you for sharing your insights Eric. I've made a few straps with the help of your previous videos, and I can see where your learnings have enhanced the quality and engineering on this one. Thank you for the many new, eye-opening ideas. I hope to carry on this legacy of continuously improving my work as I continue to craft.
I’ve done leather craft for years but still have not made a watch band this gives me encouragement thanks it looks good
Hey there! Love the content! Can you provide a link to the nylon liner material you used to prevent stretching? I'm not seeing it in the BuckleGuy link. Thanks again for your tutorials! I have learned so much and your production is so beginner friendly. Love it.
Also, fully intend to buy the chisels to replace my crappy ama$on specials... super pumped to get some real tools. :)
@@Kyurnmakes try looking for Talyn, YT deletes links most of the time now but should give you a chance.
Beautiful. Great tips. Regular buckleguy customer, but never done a watch strap. Gave me lots to think about before i dive in
So excited for the signature irons
Wow. That looks beautiful. I never realized how much work goes into 1 watch band, set. I will never look at a leather watch band, the same again!
Plus your videos are almost mesmerizing. Its like watching Bob Ross paint... I could almost fall asleep, its so relaxing. (Which is a compliment ☺)
@Corter Leather - it would really help if your said in the tutorials or in the description the EXACT thickness of the leather that you use on all of your projects. The links to the leather in Buckleguy list several different thicknesses.
Quite frankly, if you have the tools to do this project, then there's really no excuse to not be able to figure out what your preference is on thickness. Just look at what thicknesses are available and use your measuring tools so you can visualize how thick that leather is, then decide your preference from there
I agree.
Although I can't hear/understand anything you say I love watching your channel.
Thank you for letting us know that you will have a line of chisels coming out in the coming months! I’ve been considering upgrading from the Weaver set, but haven’t found anything that I looked the way I’d like at a price I’d be willing to pay, but the upcoming Corter+BG set looks like exactly what I want!
As always, thank you for the project information! I really enjoy my “informal, remote, hobby apprenticeship”!
Lol I feel the same way - as if I’m doing an apprenticeship 😊
I recently met a retiring master leather craftsman in Western MA (did work for Gucci, Armani, etc). He sold some of his leather to me, then GAVE me 5 boxes of gorgeous ‘scraps’ (many large pieces) - lambskin, buffalo, calf, etc. Gave me two pound boards and two rolls of interfacing…
I told him about Corter Leather, and the fact that I learn so much here!!😊
I love the look of those chisels too!
That’s pretty cool, I’ve got some tools and leather from some retired leather workers, but nothing that cool. God bless.
This is the exact video I wanted to see
I have made a few Apple Watch straps but needed to see how to do the inlay thank you
Also for some reason I’m bad at keeping my buckle holes in a straight line this punch will help me a lot
just picked one up at Tandy- 4 hole fairly inexpensive...
Great tutorial and tips. It will definitively help me when I will have some to do for friends
Is there any way you can link to the sticky back nylon fabric stuff? I went to the fabric store and they looked at me like I was crazy. I tried googling the name veladon and nothing came up. Thanks! Love the videos.
Try searching for Talyn I would link but YT seems to shadow delete comments with links.
Look on Rocky Mountain Leather supply they have sticky back veladon (and non-sticky).
Thanks! RMS has the stuff.
Beautiful. Thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Super nice. Good job my dude!
Great great job, Sir!!!!
you can easily add some extra design by punching through the top layer of leather (before assembly) and lining it with a think coloured ribbon.
I tried looking in the description. What is the French coated stuff?
Thank you for this! What weight Chrome tanned are you using?
Wow thanks for this super precise video !
But hey, how do you put the buckle in ??! Sorcery ?😅
Thank You for alk the detailed instructions you provided... sooner or later I will have to try this again after my mediocre first strap. Also looking forward to your irons, though I am using some crimson hides at the moment, but I am sucker for nice tools.
Do you mind telling what the two watches are? I know I saw your wrist with a seiko diver once, curious especially about the one that you made the strap for.
have you found that forming/gluing over an arc benefits?
Lovely
Do you have a way to do the second keeper without a staple?
Do you know what sizes the BuckleGuy stitching chisels will come in? I’ve found some like it in 5mm and was wondering if they came in a size like that. Thank you!
As usual spot on. But ehhh...when can we buy your cutting knife?
Fantastic video. Btw, what watch are you wearing?
I thought the autofocus sound you mentioned at 21:42 was a woodpecker. First I paused it to see if it was at my house or at your shop. Then came your message at the bottom of the screen about autofocus noise.
What type of waxed thread & size used for swing 150d 1mm or thinner?
good
Thanks for the content, and leaving in the not so perfect bits, I look at other vids and see so many people making things perfect and I have lots of not so perfect moments so thanks for keeping it real.
can you tell me at 6.30 what material is used?
Wait, how does the buckle attach?
The buckle comes in three pieces. A spring bar goes through the fold in the leather. The hook goes in the punched hole in the center and the spring bar goes through this. The frame then gets attached to the spring bar. Have a look at a watch buckle and disassemble it and you will understand how it works.
@@Darkmonism Ahh, a spring bar. got it, thanks.
What kind of watch is that
I think you should start your videos with showcasing the final product. It would help people who are looking to see if this is doable for them before investing in watching the entire video or skipping to the end first to see the final result.
Not keeper its bridge .. 🙂 not inch centimeters 🙂 but you are truly a master. health to your hands.
Bridge and centimeters is used in third world country's only.
@@robertdelisle2412 cm is used in third world country's? this only makes sense if You lived in a fifth world one.
@@alexsyld5410 so you live in a third world country to ?
@@robertdelisle2412 😂🤣😅😆
@@robertdelisle2412 ah yes... Liberia and Myanmar those well known First World countries that use imperial alongside the USA 😉
May i know why chrome tanned?
Що то за чорна лєнта?
For the love of god, stop smacking your skiving knife on the marble to remove scraps. It's no wonder you are struggling to even get through that first skive. I cringe every time I hear that tap tap tap on the marble.
You need to sharpen your knives

They’ve expressed before that they value their privacy, and prefer to not be recognized on the street, etc. (Part of the reason they don’t have a physical storefront.)
I know that you probably didn’t intend for this, but that kind of comment can come off creepy from “a random person on the internet”. (Speaking of course, as a fellow random person on the internet…)
@@WaldoG No pude entender la traducción. No sé que quisiste decirme.
Sin preocupaciones.
La gente de Corter no muestra la cara porque quiere permanecer en privado.
Además, estoy seguro de que no lo quiso decir de esa manera, pero los comentarios como el original pueden parecer espeluznantes, especialmente de una persona al azar en Internet. (Digo esto, por supuesto, como una persona al azar en Internet, yo mismo...)
