    Your seemingly odd comments off to the side always put each piece into perspective nicely and let me know exactly why I am being shown each leather. Very well done sir. I am definitely a fan of this and other videos. Love your little shop and all your little tips. They really do help. I am a month into making things and am loving every minute of it. Thanks for all the the tips.

    Your comment about splits for testing a design is really helpful to me. I have been trying to find a 'leather substitute' that is inexpensive and is as thick as leather. I have tried 1/8" neoprene foam as a substitute. It does work but will not keep a fold or seam as you fiddle with it. Thanks Harry!

    I am an somewhat experienced home tanner and have just finished tanning a whole cowhide with oak bark. I think it's almost 40 sq ft so it's quite a chunk of leather. It's quite a time investment (moneywise not so much, haha) and really want to put it to good use so I have really been thinking on how to go about dividing the hide into useful parts for belts etc. But with your great content on leather cuts and quality I feel I now got the sufficient knowledge make this important decisons, so thanks a lot, Harry!

      @@harryrogers yeah, and I just finished a homemade strap cutter from beech, so I am cutting straps as I am writing - again using your skillful guidance. If you wanna check out how to make homemade leather look up SkillCult here on youtube, he has got the best content on bark tanning hides. That's how I learned the craft. I am off for making a belt from one of the straps I just cut using your video for guidance. Cheers!

    Seeing that Goat hide has reminded me that I have a suitcase full of those that I bought years ago from a company in Beckenham, they used to have regular sales of leather, I think they were dying samples, but very well priced, I will have to look them out, hidden since we moved.

    whered u get the gauge? and what were the leather sellers you mentioned? to my knowledge, i think it's roughly .4mm for every ounce, so an 8oz piece of leather would be roughly 3.2mm for example

    I found this very interesting. Ive now just realised that the leather I've been given from a local upholsterer is Chrome tanned and not ideal for all my purposes.
    What type of leather do you recommend for watch straps and wallets/phone cases?

    • @harryrogers
      @harryrogers  ปีที่แล้ว

      Veg tan is nice...russet leather is good if you are happy to see all the blemishes and patina build up.....gives character....otherwise go for some veg tan that's dyed...has a finish.
