MAKING THE PERFECT MINIMALIST CARD HOLDER FROM BLACK HERMES LEATHER
Very nice sheath 👍🏻👌🏻
Thank you!
Good job!
Thank you Ashley
So cool 👍
Would love an update please?
I’ll get right on that. Thanks for the comment
Why not just lightly burn short thread ends and press then into stitch holes? Much quicker and just as secure
Because this isn’t polyester thread and it won’t burn. This is linen thread
Ahhh I see, yeah that makes more sense then 😅
That looks very expensive! Compliment intended.
Thank you so much
WHEN I SEE AN ALLIGATOR, I SAY TO MY SELF, THERE'S A BELT, SOME BOOTS, SHOES, A WALLET. THE SKIN OF AN AQUATIC MONSTER , WHOSE SCALES ARE SEALED UP SO CLOSE, NO AIR CAN GET BETWEEN. JOB 41:,15-17.
How do you know how much thread to use? Nice job btw.
It’s about 4-6x the length
I actually prefer when you talk over the video. your voice is very soothing.
Seems like that’s the general consensus. I’ll do that going forwards
beautiful! Love the colors. Curious how many times you did the edge coating. Something I am learning more about woring with. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! This one took 4 coats
@@WillHodges Thanks. I tried to email you on the one listed on the edge coating tutorial from a few years ago by you. That address and website bounce. I have a question on how you would do this differently for handbags, where there is only one or maybe 2 layers of leather that is thinner.
Beautiful
Thank you!!
I actually really enjoy hearing your voice. Very calming and always great tips and instruction. Thank you!!
Oh thank you! Going forward all my videos will have a voiceover as it seems to be the general consensus of enjoyment
beautiful work, I always struggle with working out how to stitch corners, what type of awl do you use for the corners on a project like this?
Make you’re subscribed as I’ve got a video on this coming soon
How long does it keep the structure? Will fattening the leather with moisturizer effect it?
Nope, not if let to dry 💯 before you take it out of the mould. You can also apply wax and then bake it and it’ll never go back to flat. Let me know if you’d like a tutorial video on how to wet mould leather!
@@WillHodges thanks for the answer! Yeah I‘d love a detailed with you sharing your knowledge about moulding leather! That would be fantastic! Are you constricted by the choice of leather? I think so far, i‘ve seen it with vege tan exclusively. Can it be done with suede? Chrome-tan? Do they posess the necessary rigidity? I‘m really enjoying your channel. Thank you for sharing such great information. Kind regards from south germany!
I'm not saying it doesn't look elegant, but it doesn't. 😂 I love it! 4:47
Am I wrong? 😂😂
I always follow you and love your leather works because they combine beauty, workmanship, simplicity and high quality. I wished to be close to you so that I could learn from you... I wish you lasting success. You are a wonderful person.
Maybe one day!
Good tip! Thanks
You’re more than welcome! Thanks for joining :)
THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN NEEDLEING ME, AND FINDS ME, IN THIS STICKY SITUATION, NOW SECURE IN SAVING 9. CHEERS
Succinct but thorough. ❤
Thank you, wasn’t sure if people would like this video but It was something I asked when I was starting so I thought id answer
Make a video about getting even slanted (with french pricking iron) stiches on both sides.
Now that’s a very good idea, thank you Buri
Loving these latest more beginner videos. Even if one has some experience, these fine details are helpful!
I’ll be sure to make more, anything in particular you’d like to learn about?
Great video, I'd love you to make a video all about threads!
Thanks for the idea! That’ll be a long one but I’m happy to do it. Hopefully it’ll help some people
yes more videos like this please, very helpful Will. Thanks so much for taking the time.
You got it!
I’m so glad you’re making these kinds of videos. I’ve been inspired to begin leatherwork as a hobby. This kind of information is soooo helpful. I really appreciate what you’re dining. ❤
That’s one of the kindest things someone could say. Thank you!
Pricking irons vs Stitching irons. There's a difference. Stitching irons you can hit with a maul or leather/plastic hammer. Pricking irons are not designed to be hit. They are pressed with your hand and then punched with an iron. Yes on those Japanese knives, love mine. You can use a head/round knife but a Japanes style knife can be a little steadier and more compact. I've been working leather since 1974. Learn your craft by yourself and by those that have come before you. It's a wonderful experience that will have a product last for a lifetime.
YOU ARE NOT A MORON. TRUST ME. YOUR VIDEOS HAVE BEEN VERY INFORMATIVE AND THE FORMAT HAS BEEN JUST FINE. MAYBE WATCH THE AUDIO , BUT THATCGOES FOR ANY VIDEO. CHEERS.
My favourite tool is my round knife, but what steep learning curve even just to sharpen it so it's not a beginners tool. One way to get a relatively cheap knife that is good quality is to buy a cheap second-hand woodworking plane since you are only after the blade it will be cheaper if the plane is in poor condition. Whilst there are different grades of tool steel, the bare minimum blade is always tool steel.
What is the best type of preaking iron for small leather project? Thank you.
I’d go for either a 2.7 or 3.0mm French style
Not stopped my enjoyment of your work!
THE JOHN JAMES OR C.S. OSBOURNE NEEDLES.? WHAT SIZE THREAD DO YOU USE FOR STITCHING A HAND BAG. ?
I’d say John James are better, I bought some CS Osborne needles once and they went rusty.
Out of those two, John James. I don’t actually use either, I use a German brand whose name escapes me. Check out Pro Atelier Plus’s needle offering. Probably a 0.55 or 0.6 for a piece that size
@@WillHodges They’re the SYSTEM S+U Saddler's Harness Needles. A bit more expensive, but I’ve never had one bend or break on me, unlike the newer version of John James needles. I’d definitely opt for those first, then John James, and avoid CS Osborne.
bro, what tools exactly did you use to make the holes for the seam and what threads and needles did you choose?
No point looking backwards, start from now
Just going from here mate. No worries
i wouldnt worry too much about the old videos, moving forward i would like to see a higher quality if it is an option.
Of course it is, glad you’re enjoying the channel
Шикрний ніж
Isn’t it! I love it so much
I feel like going forward you should export your new videos in a higher resolution, 720p is still a fine resolution you can capture a lot of detail with it! If you really want to reupload some of your older videos with a higher resolution you should choose ones that mean the most to you or your more popular videos.
Well you must be smarter than me, because I don’t even know the significance of what you’re saying. What resolution is ‘A Matter of Life & Death’, the 1946(5?) Powell & Pressburger film in? It doesn’t matter. It’s a brilliant film. Your videos are the same (you’re no David Niven). All that matters is the content. It’s immensely valuable & informative.❤
Good video! Youbsyitch back before belto look and then with new yarn? I was tjoughed to stitch through the look, but this seems like an easier way
Im watching your video today.
Thanks for watching
Please make a video about belt knife skiving for beginners: which one to buy and how to use it. Love your channel.
Bell or belt skiver? This is a bell skiver
Beautiful! was that saddle soap at the end that you were rubbing on the leather? What are the size of those letters? Can't decide on what size I want to get. Thanks
That was a leather balm from Smiths Leather Balm. Saddle soap is normally for cleaning leather.
The letters? My logo? I’ll have a look and get back to you
What material do you use for the backing of the lizard skin and the veg tan before you then glue them to each other?
I back the lizard skin with 0.5mm goat skin to bring it to 1.0 in total and I split the lining leather (Vermatt) to 0.5 and backed it with velodon (non-stretch material 0.5mm) so the edges will be 2mm in total
Either way Will, I'm happy. Love your videos and live tgat you usd a vast array of leathers. Keep the videos coming 😊
Thank you!
Thank you, Will, for all of your videos. I find them very interesting and I found your voice relaxing. This is one of the main reasons I keep coming. Cheers!
That’s very kind, thank you! Is there anything you’d like to see?
@@WillHodges Oh, yes, thank you for asking! I think I could be curious about your way to do rolled edges on watch straps, if possible. Thank you again!
Nice video
what is the brand of those chisels / pricking irons you're using? they look decent
Hello, Will, have you considered contacting these companies and asking for an “affiliate code?“ If available this will allow you to collect commissions on sales, generated on your channel. On my channel I was just given an affiliate code for a floaty thing called a sunchill which I will feature in a future episode. I had to reach out to them to ask if they would like to be sponsored. I mention this because I’ve purchased things that you’ve recommended.
They’re fantastic I love them. I got them from Pro Atelier Plus. They’re the graphite model
I’ll do that, thanks for the sub
Your cat is beautiful.
Isn’t he amazing! Make you’re subscribed as I’m planning a video making him a bow tie.
Really clear instruction that has given me the confidence to sew the new leather on my boat wheel. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
