The most important ingredient is the cat for the quality control!
When I make leather goods he is almost always present and follows every phase with great interest. When I cut the leather the first scrap is always from him, he bites it and plays with it for a long time.
"Bombo" thanks you for your kind comment (and so do I).
That looks yummy 😁 not sure about a cooking show though. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have often wondered what is used in leather balm and now I know. Great video
Thanks mate, your thoughts are always appreciated. Take care.
❤кокосовое масло и миндальное масло по 2части +3части пчелиного воска
Не слишком ли плотно при таких пропорциях получается?
Better than a shop bought.😊
That's why I made it, the one I bought never satisfied me, too many chemicals and a bad smell.
Thanks for watching and liking.
Mi è piaciuto molto, le tue mosse semplici e precise disegnano tagli perfetti e sagome aggraziate, figure che richiamano l’arte dei samurai!! Sempre grande!! Continua così… 2:58
Grazie per seguire e supportare il mio lavoro. Molto apprezzato il paragone con i Samurai.
Very nice 👏🤝👍👍👍
Thank you
I read this this comment with a Borat voice in my head, thanks
How well does this work with suede? Looking to make a pair of moccasins and thought about waterproofing them
I'm sorry but I can't help you, I don't use suede and therefore I have no references about it.
You can try making a small amount and testing it on a sample.
sophistication in video making. Nice. Why stirr counterclockwise?
Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate it.
Are you worried that my counterclockwise shuffling will slow down the planet's rotation? 😉
I have no idea, I had never noticed this, but I went to see other videos and I always do it.
Hello. Firstly thank you for the awesome tips on this video! Is it possible to just use beeswax and VCO? Dont have any almond oil at hand
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting.
I think with just vco it's fine, the only thing that might change is the density of the final product as coconut oil is solid if it's not very hot and might be a little more difficult to spread on the leather.
Where I live, almond oil is easily available in any herbalist or shop that sells skin care products, sometimes you can also find it in the supermarket on the beauty product shelves, try taking a look.
I used to apply raw beeswax on the leather and then use a hair dryer to melt it. Do you think that’s a good idea?
Beeswax is very compact, which is why it should always be mixed with oils before use.
If your method works, use it, even if it seems very time consuming to me.
If you heat the beeswax just once to make the conditioner, you will have an easy-to-apply product.
@@LTMS that makes more sense. Thanks. Im very new to leatherwork.
I'm glad to helped you. Take care and learn something new every day, you will master it in no time.@@fawaad
Does the ingredients are all cold-pressed?
Coconut oil and bees wax are organics. Thank you for the comment.
Can I use it for car seats?.
Yes you can.
Personally, for the car seats I would use neatsfoot oil because the surface of the seats is very large and it would cost a lot with the conditioner.
Neat's foot oil is very convenient and is absorbed well within a few hours.
May I ask, how much should I put if I were to include lanolin?
I know it is used in the production of shoe polish, but I prefer not to use it.
Lanolin is mainly used in skin care products for its property of absorbing water and emulsifying it with oils in order to keep the skin hydrated.
A leather conditioner should protect the leather from water while keeping it supple and nourished.
@@LTMS I see, thank you so much for the info, I'll give this recipe a go. Really appreciate the video 😊
@@dried_paint_7377 Thanks to you for your appreciation, I'm glad you liked it.
Does it harm my cars leather when parked under sunlight and please I'd like to know the exact amount t of each ingredient
in the video it is clearly explained that 1 part beeswax, 1 part coconut oil and 2 parts almond oil are used. This means that if you use 10 grams of beeswax you will need to use 10 grams of coconut oil and 20 grams of almond oil, if you use one ounce of beeswax you will need one ounce of coconut oil and 2 ounces of oil of almonds and so on... I used the parts on purpose.
I use the conditioner for wallets, notebooks and small leather goods, never used for car seats that sit in the sun all day.
Is it good for boots?
Does it dark the leather?
lightly as you apply it, then lighten as it dries
Hi....Do you shoot video by yourself or someone else is shooting???
One man band.
I plan, I shoot, I edit. 🙂
@@LTMS well I also have a TH-cam channel can you show me How you shoot ????
@@T.Rahman1 Filmmaking is one of my interest, and what I know about it comes from years of watching tutorials, following great directors works and studying shots. I'm sorry but it's not something I can teach you.
Search for "Brandon Li" on YT, he was a cameraman for MTV and now he shoot amazing movies alone. Whatch his movies, (especially this one th-cam.com/video/0Tc01YLHwpk/w-d-xo.html ) follow his tutorials, it's a good starting point.
And than, get inspiration but find your style.
Is the only way I can help you.
Instead of almond oil could you use olive oil?
No, olive oil goes rancid over time.
Can i use palm oil instead if almond oil???
Palm oil doesn't go rancid, but I have no idea if that would be okay. You can try putting it on a small scrap of leather and see how it behaves over time, but I've never heard anything about its use in leather working.
can i use normal candle wax instead of beeswax??
Absolutely no, candle wax is full of chemicals and does not nourish the leather
@@LTMSwhat can I use other than beeswax?
I don't understand why you want to change the ingredients, I gave you a recipe with products that are easy to find and which works well.
Beeswax can be found at any farmers' market from honey producers, in grocery stores, herbalist's shops and even on Amazon...@@mr_ninj4918
@@LTMS I never seen Beeswax as a product, unless you mean the same wax that bees live in and can be eaten, if that's what is used in the recipe, then I can easily find it! so please tell me I would appreciate it!
Yes, that one
Is it good for boots?
Of course yes, if you need to nourish the leather of your boots.
If you abuse them in water and mud then also use some more specific product to make them waterproof.
Won't this expire tho? Like go bad/rancid
No, coconut oil does not go rancid and can also be used to treat wooden cutting boards and spoons. Cold-pressed almond oil is used in most skin care products and that also keeps very well.
@LTMS how do they not go rancid? I looked it up and they should go rancid, is it because of the beeswax? Also i read that you can increase shelf life by a couple years if you add vitamin E (it acts as preservative)
Try making my balm and leave it there for 10/15 years, then we'll talk about it again and you'll see that you'll agree with me.😂😂
Beeswax with oils has been used to protect wood and leather for centuries, there must be a reason.@@vcommandarv5916
@LTMS I see, yeah okay if we both are still around I'll let u know ☺️
Also what do you think of adding vitamin E into the recipe?
Also, your videos are very very incredibly cozy and relaxing ❤
The only thing I know about vitamin E is that it is used to cold stabilize aloe to keep its characteristics intact, but I work with wood and leather, so I can't help you much on this topic.
Thank you very much for your kind thoughts on my videos, the goal is really to make them enjoyable to watch.@@vcommandarv5916
what is the measure of the ingredients in this tutorial?
The unit of measurement doesn't matter, if you use ounces it will be 1-1-2, if you use grams it will be 1-1-2 or 10-10-20 or 100-100-200.
I divided into parts on purpose.
@@LTMS 10gram beewax
10 gram VCO
20 gram Olive Oil
