I don't really keep track like I should. I generally work on these projects in the evenings after work. Probably about 3 or 4 hours. Add a couple of more hours if you hand stitch everything.
I use several different shears depending on what I am cutting. For a lot of light weight leather and cutting thread or paper I use an inexpensive pair I bought from Tandy. tandyleather.com/products/leather-scissors I also have a pair which I believe they call their pro shears that I mostly use for soft leathers like upholstery or garment leather. The third pair I use a lot is made by Wiss/Crescent and I bought them from a local hardware store. I use those for heavier leather or if I am a lot because they have a more comfortable grip. www.amazon.com/Wiss-Shear-Tradesman-Titanium-CW10TM/dp/B07YD6NYVL/ref=mp_s_a_1_26
Oh my goodness I have never seen that tool the closest thing I have seen is a pizza cutter. Can you tell me what the name of what it is.Maybe I could pick it up at Lee Valley. I would be truly grateful if you told me what the tool. Cutting leather has been such a pain in the ass. I'm sorry it seems like you are saying the names of the tools and I must have missed it but can you also tell me where did you get them? 🤔
In my machine I use 346 as the top thread and 277 in the bobbin. Needle size 26 (230) When I hand stitched the cartridge loops I just waxed some of the 346 and used a harness needle.
Holsters actually are not that bad to hand stitch. Takes me about half an hour extra time for an unlined holster or two hours for a lined one. There might be a hand stitched project video coming up in the next month. I have plans to make a cartridge box with box corner stitching and linen thread that my machine won't do.
Hola siempre se aprecia ese tipo de trabajo en cuero , el suyo tiene tanto trabajo como una funda cuchillo buhscrat ,que no por ser pequeño no tiene trabajo, yo estoy iniciando este arte de como se llama en España ( guarnicionería) y es una cosa que como se dice ,(los jóvenes) mola 👍👏👏🤝🤝 desde Castilla y León España

Great work. How much is one just like that one?
I don't take orders for custom work online. I have a full-time job and enough business locally to keep me busy. Sorry.
Very nice work.
Mind telling us how many man hours it took?

What kind of shear are you using to vut the leather, please?

It's known as a round knife. I forged this one (there's a video), but before I did that this was the one I used: amzn.to/39iw7o9
Thanks for the video. ? What size thread and needle are you using?
In my machine I use 346 as the top thread and 277 in the bobbin. Needle size 26 (230) When I hand stitched the cartridge loops I just waxed some of the 346 and used a harness needle.

What no hammer gard
Try one without a sewing machine.
