    Thanks for replying to my question. I have an up coming project to make a knife sheath for a hand made knife with, I'm not sure what kind of handle, but it some kind of goat looking handle. And why I'm thinking it needs a black cherry sheath, I'm not sure, but I "think" it would look awesome! Again, thanks for the information, I will give it a try and see how it could turn out! So to Chuck and all of the folks at Weaver Leather, I wish you all a blessed and Awesome day!

    I often use antique intentionally on the flesh side of the leather to help seal it. It's especially helpful with lower quality veg tans from "The Competition"

    Old manila file folders also work well, there thick and if your like me you have a lot of used ones, there perfect for patterns, I have glued them together with all purpose glue sticks to make larger patterns, it sets fas and holds really good. Great tips and tricks! keep it coming!

    I've been using coins to emboss leather. Use a C-clamp and a coin with a hole in the middle (50 Yen) and it makes a fun makers mark.

    Office file metal binder clamps help me keep stitch lines straight and come in many sizes and some scrap leather on the metal makes no marks.

    I'm a major hoarder of plastic bins and tubs. Scrap leather, dye bottles, dip dye, anything you can think of, plastic tubs are good for.

    Hey Chuck, Can you mix Red and black leather dyes, to make a black cherry dye? Or will dyes not mix?

    • @WeaverLeatherSupply
      @WeaverLeatherSupply  3 года назад

      Hi James,
      Dyes can be mixed - you just have to play around a bit to get the ratio you are looking for! I have not tried mixing red and black but it sounds pretty cool!

    I asked this question the other day in the live chat. I'm having trouble making a pair of moccasin. I'm not fully understanding how to go from 1" at the toe to 2" on the sides from my footprint. Any suggestions to help me with this?

    Hey Chuck! I have a question that I haven´t seen before on your chanel... Is there any way to dilute pro dye? I just bought Roayl Blue color and I added leather balm to dyed leather as a finish. It turned a bit too dark for me. I would like to get more brighter colors after finishing a leather. Saddle Lac might keep it lighter but wouldn´t like to use it because it needs a good ventilation.

      Hi there,
      we would recommend Fiebing's Dye Reducer, this is made specifically for Fiebing's products. Hope that helps!

    If you sand the back of your pattern sheets lightly, it will have just enough grip not to move as you draw around your pattern
