Thanks guys. I watch your tutorials all the time. I have a generalized question. When hand-stitching thick weather (8oz &^) what type and size of thread would you recommend?
After you tap off a pattern, the lines that you made with a swivel knife are basically raised up instead of cut into the leather, yes? So, is there a way to harden that "tapped off" piece so that you could use IT as the pattern? It would be like those plastic Tandy patterns they make if it's possible to do it. If so, let us know, please!!
+Jairo Perez Hermann Oak veg tan is sold by the side and they will average 6-8ft x 3.5ft average at the butt end and maybe 2ft wide at the neck end. To get a section that is 5ft x 6ft you will most likely have to piece it together from two sides. Our craftsman grade HO is running $8.29sqft at the moment and the sides average 23 sqft so you're looking at about $385 to get enough leather to make that section.
@@SpringfieldLeather my trouble is i have a lifetime of using pencils etc to do my artwork which are held and thus controlled in a different way that a swivel knife. the having to use one of my control fingers in the saddle is a challenge for me. im sure i will come up with a workaround with practice though. thanks for the reply i will certainly check out the new video.
Yes lets see some more of Denny! I would like to see more of this in depth. Thanks!

We'd go for a heavy waxed thread!

I suppose you could tap down the lower stuff a little and then cover it with some kind of hardener. Epoxy or fiebing’s resolene
Hello, do you have to cut the new tapped out pattern immediately after tapping it out or can you do it some time later?
+allanpennington You can do it at a later date but if you do it immediately there will be better definition to your lines.
How much does 6ft by 5ft hermann leather cost

I think the video would be better if the camera operator would stay zoomed in on what is happening. We know what the stars look like. Just my opinion.
im on the other end, im an artist but cant seem to find a way to use it on leather YET
We just did some videos of Denny (Master Sheridan) doing his beginner's class! Check out our live video section and they should be on top of the list!
