A few of my friends and I all play guitar, some for worship for our church and are very excited about my endeavoring into leatherworking. So excited to refer to your video to use this in my arsenal of skills 🤌
Great video great description I am a blind man who is going to try my hand at making custom guitar straps. Thank you for doing this video and thank you for being so very descriptive.
Next time you burnish leather try using a clean sponge soaked in water. So much easier than using a wet finger. Just slide the sponge along the edge of the leather.
one thing that i would have done on the smaller strap is put thru the strap cutter and do not cut all the way. you would have to divide the distance on the both sides to get the proper width that you need. then just finish off the cut with either a knife or and end punch.

Awesome! This is something I've been wanting to make for a while.
Simple but nice. Adding the patch with your company logo design is a nice touch. Well Done Jeff.
Thanks! 👍 Eventually, I'd love to learn to do some tooling on the leather to really spice it up.

Looks awesome. I love the logo tag detail.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that out.
Bravissimo Jeff,💯💯💯💯💯👍❤️
Wow that looks great!
Thanks Ray! 👍

I think thats a great idea. Then I wouldn't have to try to cut a straight line.
Always love your projects Jeff... actually I was surprised you didn't burn a larger version of the logo straight to the strap
I was going to at first. Then I thought the logo wouldn't stand out as much. I like the look of this patch better.
Looks great! Where do you even get a big slab of leather like that to begin with?
If you have a local leather supply shop, I'd check there. If not, you can order leather online. There are several great suppliers online.
What is the total lengths of the straps since i dont have a template. Thanks
May I ask where you bought your engraver and which one did you choose?
