    "Up and away from you." In 4 years of leatherworking and watching videos, NO ONE has ever told me this information. Thank you so much!

  • @hpstorian
    @hpstorian 3 года назад +26

    I've watched a lot of these vids as I get started and I've gotta say, this is probably the most thorough and well done I've seen so far. Kudos.

    • @hpstorian
      @hpstorian 3 года назад

      If I can offer a minor bit of feedback, from the perspective of someone just started, one thing I would've liked to learn about in this video is how you deal with corners. Maybe I missed it but I don't think you mentioned that. Also what to do when you've made a full loop along the entire edge of a project with the stitching.

  • @PenguinSC

    I learned how to saddle stitch from a previous video of yours and it's good to see an updated and extremely beginner friendly video. Looking forward to seeing more of your projects and videos.

      Same here, I learned how to saddle stitch using Ryan's original video. It's great seeing a new update. One extra thing I like to do is start in the 3rd or 4th hole and put back stitches at the beginning of my line so that both ends of my stitch line are the same and have some extra strength. I also have a one-prong pricking iron and will use it to open all the holes (insert in each hole and twist it a little) in the sitch line so that I don't have to try to open each hole with the needles as I stitch.

    Recently started an odd job with my friend because I was tired of security and I found upholstery. I’ve never been passionate about any craftsmanship but I found something I got the learning bug for it’s been a long time since I felt this way.

    Great video Ryan, one thing I learned after ruining every wallet I made in the first few months was you really need a good solid base to hammer your pricking irons on. I was doing mine on a desk with a punching mat and the irons almost always went in at an angle, when I moved to a solid worktop my irons went through straight every time.

    I still have the leather keyholder that I made in craft lessons in 3rd grade (in 1983). The thonging has lasted an amazingly long time, considering that I have taken no kind of care of it whatsoever. You have inspired me to actually investigate sourcing the gear I need for leatherworking. Thank you!

    @carolinebrouwer6103 3 года назад +2

    Thanks for the stitching video! It answered a lot of questions I had about pricking irons and thread and also the proper way to stitch and the beautiful outcome of proper stitching. Keep it up! You are a great teacher and a great asset to the beginner and the more advanced leather entrepreneur! I started leatherwork almost a year ago and your videos have been very helpful! My first leather tote is finally completed after many small projects! I’m very happy with the outcome and I couldn’t have done it without you!

  • @ussgear

    Now to put this to the test! I'm making a flap wallet, ordering the thread and needles this week, should be stitching by the end of the following week! Thank you Ryan for all the info, close up, slowed down technical stitching tutorial! Perfect stitching by the way, it looked amazing as it always does in your videos! 🤙🤘✌👍 Peace be with you 🙏!

  • @TheGreatChrisB
    @TheGreatChrisB 3 года назад +2

    This was the most informative stitching video I've seen. I honestly ended up learning through trial and error, I've never heard the up and away before, I always use round hole punches, but maybe if I had known that a year ago I would have gone with the diamond chisels.

    Great! I‘m working with leather for a while now, but this ist the best tutorial I know on hand stitching. Finally! No further questions. You should stick to your plan and do that school thing. You are really good at explaining. After 17 years of teaching graphic design, I'm sure, one of the most important thing is, never to forget your own pain points when you started out.

  • @itsover9008
    @itsover9008 3 месяца назад +1

    This is the first video I was actually able to replicate. Other videos skip tiny details they think are obvious.
    You explicitly mentioned:
    1) The slanted holes should be up and away from you.
    2) Thread both needles on the same piece of thread.
    3) Very slowly and carefully showed each step so I could replicate. Which hand, which direction and what order.

    How refreshing to see a saddle stitching video where they don't insist that using an awl and making holes as you go along is THE ONLY CORRECT WAY TO SADDLE STITCH. I've been punching holes for years and am sick of purists saying NO, NO, NO, THAT'S ALL WRONG. Thank you for the video and list of sources.

  • @David-bf6vt
    @David-bf6vt 3 года назад +1

    One of the biggest problems I think beginner crafters face including myself is actually making the holes perfectly in the first place. I assume that many people have "cheaper" chisels where the machining is bad so that once you hammer it in its nearly impossible to get out without damaging the leather to some extent. To fix this just get a wet sandpaper kit (400-1500 I'd say) and sand the whole thing grit by grit, especially the teeth and inside the teeth. Then once your done use some kind of polisher, I used brasso and some chrome polish. Basically this smooths out the teeth so that you can easier hammer it in and especially take it out like how corter does lol. Besides that the line and keeping it vertical and straight just takes practice.

    • @David-bf6vt
      @David-bf6vt 3 года назад +1

      Just make sure when sanding that you're not damaging the shape of the teeth as you can easily turn a diamond chisel to a flat slanted one lol
