Hi Alex. That paper-like reinforcement you're using - is it what people refer to as Velodon? I've bought some Vildona Forecetape 1220 which i was told is the same product. Its a black/greay colour and is waxy on one side. Is there a version that isnt waxy that you know of? What exactly are you using here? I'd really appreciate some advice. The waxy side just isnt sticking as you can imagine.
Make more videos, dude. Please.
In the works!
Looks amazing on that Tudor. Just found your website and youtube. Looks like you do excellent work, will likely be a future customer. 👍
Hi what was the black strap you were wearing on your speedmaster?
Hey there - that was one of my dark navy straps in English bridle.
a video to increase their promotion…
Terrible camera angles..can’t see anything you’re doing..don’t care to look at the top or your head.
Hi there! Beautiful work thanks for the video. Are you using Japanese style or French style pricking irons from Kevin Lee? Thanks!
Thanks, Tim! In this video, I'm using Kevin Lee's diamond tipped irons. However, I have since switched to KS Blade traditional pricking irons and have been much happier. Cheers!
@@vellealexander Thanks so much for the reply. Are you using the version 2 ks blade or the original? I know I need the 2 tooth punch but how many teeth should I have for my other punch? 5 or 8?
@@timproskine486 V2 is definitely the way to go. I use a 2-tooth and 10-tooth. If I were to get another, I’d grab a 5-tooth.
@@alexgravelle thanks Alex. I’ll definitely spread the word about your website, you do first class work. I’m just starting out in leather work so it’s nice watching someone so detailed. Have a great one!
Incredible craftsmanship and a super satisfying video. Great work!
OK !
Very nice presentation and great skills. Can you please tell me where can i find the tool from min. 8:22 ?
Thank you! You can get that tool here: ebay.to/3jTjovr
Top work, appreciate the video. Can I ask what size hole punch you use for the sinabroks
Thanks, Thomas. Much appreciated. And it's a 1.5mm punch. Cheers!
@@vellealexander cheers for the reply!!
Very very nice work man!
Thank you! Cheers!
Outstanding video and presentation! I noticed that you wear a Speedmaster and so as I, well along with other watches. I made a watch strap for my watch but not as nice as yours. I am happy with it for sure.
Thanks a lot! And yes, I'm a long-time Speedy owner - an absolute classic. Cheers!
That is a beautiful strap! Amazing craftsmanship!
Thank you very much! I take a lot of pride in my work, so the kind words are always meaningful. Cheers!
Great video Alex! It's always so satisfying to watch a true craftsman so laser focused on their work, and the end result is spectacular. Can't wait to see more content from you!
Great craftsmanship, and a wonderful video presentation! As a watchmaker, I would love to see more of this kind of video. It really opens the door into the "mysterious" world of handcrafted watches, or in this case-haute maroquinerie. Congratulations!
Thank you very much! I absolutely love the craft and am happy to share. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Fantastic to watch man. Truly skilful and very labour intense! I’m pleased you didn’t put a random music track over the top of this.
Thank you very much! I wanted the experience to be as natural as possible, so sans-music felt right. I'm glad you agree!
So awesome so see local craftsmanship
Thank you! And cheers to a fellow Minnesotan!
Beautiful work! Thanks for showing your process. It’s nice to see so much care and expertise go into the watch straps you make. 😊
Thank you, Allison! Your strap is nearly finished, by the way. :) Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you have it in hand. Cheers!
