For years I have marveled at your video's camera work. Kayleena is so good at it. It actually makes all your videos better than most in the genre. Kudos to her and her design work.
Impressive, I have never done wet moulding, but have made sheaths for knives and axes, I like to use heavier thread, cos I like the look of it. The contact adhesive is a brilliant idea !
GREAT tip about punching your stitch marks partway through the thicker leather and finishing with the awl. And the paper trick is pretty dang useful too!
Very nice . I've been a carpenter for 35 years and that part that goes on the belt i would roll to the back and sew it so there fingers don't get caught on it .
People wonder why I buy cheap Wicket and Craig or Hermann Oak bellies at around 6-7 oz. Bellies stretch the best for molding cases, as simple as that. It is also why you should Never make belts out of bellies. I also have 6 inch long 1.5mm (1/16") drill bit for drilling through thick layers of leather.
About 20 years ago I made a knife sheath with a pocket for a Swedish fid from a charity shop handbag. I drilled each stitch with a 1mm bit. I love the absolute bespoke of this project. No one else uses exactly these tools and wants them in this order.
I watched at 2x cause I just got home from work and have to go to bed before working another night shift. I know, needless information, but I enjoy these videos and feel like I know you from watching all your videos. Anyway, excellent project and workmanship as always, Take care.
I’ve been doing stained glass for years. For laying out and pinning the pieces of glass, I use a board called Homosote. Not sure if I spelled that right. Been doing leather work now for about nine months. The homosote works great for a cutting surface and a pinning surface for wet molding. Much easier to pull your tacks out of. Thanks Corter for getting me hooked on yet another hobby. ✌️☮️😊
Great video, and a great final result. The one thing that really gets to me is the design of the back panel and the belt loop. I know that is what the client wanted. but they would seem to need guidance. There was enough leather in the piece you used to simply fold over a loop all in one piece.Perhaps even fold it backwards leaving a nice smooth entrance and exit from the back pocket.. If it ever needed replacement, just cut it off then make something like you did but you have several years of use with out all the edges to catch on tools. All The best.
Years ago I started using nylon kitchen cutting boards as moulds and as a surface for cutting and punching on. It works pretty well and I've never had any issues with form or waterlogging or anything else. I do a bit of blacksmithing as well and make most of my own tools.
I've punched thru about 16oz of leather with my pricking iron by dipping it in beeswax before punching without undue difficulty pulling out the pricking iron. I learned this technique from Tandy Leather instructor online. Wasn't sure if you knew this trick or not, so I thought I'd share it with you. However I like your technique as well. Keep up the great videos, thank you!!
i’m going to attempt to wet mold a pouch for my speed square this weekend, i have a really generic tool belt (carpentry) that doesn’t have a lot of the features that high end tool belts have (that i would really like to have) I have a lot of sentimental value in this tool belt as it’s the first tool belt i purchased when i had no money and was just starting out. the way i see it it would be a shame to just throw it out and buy a brand new one with all the gizzmos i want. thank you for giving me the confidence to attempt it. going to attempt: wet mold a speed square pouch, attached with chicago screws on the inside of the left main pouch nail gun rafter hook loop sewed to the right rear nylon suspender cats paw loop sewed to outside of left main pouch flat bar loop sewed to the outside of left main pouch attaching “tape measure clips” in various spots with Chicago screws and if all that goes well i’d really like to try a horizontal hammer holster with 2” belt cut outs at 45 degrees
I make holsters too and chisel through 2 layers of 8/9 oz leather all the time, not all that hard. use a straight edge to hold the leather down as you pull the chisel out, keeps from stretching the holes you just punched
Just saying thank you. I made my 1st pair of moccasins and got interested in leather and by watching your videos i got a very cheap set up to do all the sheaths and pouches I'll need.
I understand that it would be a nightmare to hammer in and try to pull out of 16 ozs. I was wondering if a softening or "slick" agent could be used to make it "easier" to pull the forks out in that situation? I think one is Tokonol? Put that on the splines of the hole maker and would hopefully make it easier to pull the forks back out? Your thoughts please?
This will last a long time. I am a super amateur leather worker. I make knives, so I occasionally make sheathes for them, and have made a handful of gun holsters, belts, wallets, etc. I am also a carpenter, so I decided to make some tool bags (that’s what we call them, “bags”). I made one out of leather, one out of nylon (I also sew and make outdoor gear, much better at that). I’ve now been using the two bags for four years. The reason I made one leather and one nylon is I wasn’t sure which I would like, and which would hold up better given the brutal Pacific Northwest weather, which I work in every day. Four years later and the leather bag is the winner. They’re both still going strong, but the leather is much nicer to use. It is pretty ghetto looking, but it works great. I expect it to break down at some point. I just treated it with Mink Oil when I made it, and that’s it. It has gotten mildewed over the years of being constantly wet. I should have cared for it better. Basically, my point is that if my rickety leather bag, with zero rivets, and almost zero care, has held up to four years of abuse in the Pacific Northwest as an outdoor carpenter, your bag will last 15-20 years being on a tile guy indoors. He will cherish that thing. This has inspired me to make a new set. Also, as others have mentioned, next time make the backing extra tall and fold it back to make the belt loop. That way you don’t have catch points when putting tools in and out. Also, make the belt loop wider so it is less likely to swing on your belt. I made my belt loop pretty much the entire width of my bag.
Final product looks awesome, biggest concern would be if sharp tools, chisels, knives are put in the larger pouches, there's very real potential for them to just slice the stitching for the smaller pouches apart from the inside as its all exposed
If you cut the wooden forms from a piece of wood with a drill and jigsaw and keep the female side you can just sandwich the wet leather in between for a perfect wooden mold and you avoid all the nailing and shaping by hand. Much less wasted leather also. Cheers
I love these videos and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I was wondering if molding the two pockets on the outside in one piece of leather that is not cut apart would work? Then you would still stich between them, but to have it all in one piece would it be more stable and look cleaner? Just wondering if it is alot harder to mold that way instead of individual or if there are other reasons. Thanks again.
I love it. I especially like your instruction. I could build this using this video. And like everyone, I have a preference. With mine, I'd like a back that rises approximately 3/4 of an inch above the top. Then fold backwards all the way to the bottom giving it a two layer back. Then a stitch going across about 2inches from the top for a belt loop just big enough for a belt. If that makes sense. Ive always had trouble finding a small pouch that I can remove tools from the front pockets without using both hands, which is necessary for me as an electrician. Apouch that hangs way lower than the belt tends to pull outwards and up, or the leather gets soft and just folds up. Very nice. Thanks.
That is the CLC 1501 tool pouch. I've been using it for over a decade. (Replacing it ever other year-ish) and I've always wanted it in leather. The biggest sell for me is the not the belt loop it is the pocket flap. It allows you to stick the flap in your pocket and walk around without having to feed the loop through you belt repeatedly. Now I honestly think I'll give this a try!
I made my own carpenter belt and for more strength I haven't done any sewing at the bottom of the pockets but more like a one piece back and front, saw together on the sides and it's much stronger, don't have to worry about any hole at the bottom specially when you have screws, nails etc in there, or sharp tools ! But this one is pretty nice for workshop tools pouch !
Great job buddy! I am making an insert for my nylon tool bag that has existing pockets that are sloppy and don't hold specific tools in place very well. A molded leather pocketed piece will keep things organized and in place much better. The reason I watched ur vid was how to do the molded leather; it's more of a process than I thought it might be but now at least I know somewhat how to do that. Very professional looking piece you made there, Xcellent Job!!
I know this is an old video but hopefully I still get an answer. Why didn't you put any kind sealant on either side? I imagine with tools and hands constantly sliding across the inside the flesh side is going to quickly start to have the fibers getting rough?
I think that it is very well made and you did a great job. I have used quite a few in my years of work and nothing I was able to buy was even half as nice as this one.
This is much nicer than anything I have owned, and it is gorgeous, but working in the field, for me personally, I would have preferred the two snaps to hook on the side of my body instead of the tool side. I would be concerned about any tools I pull out of my pouch hooking that leather and breaking loose the snaps. I would like to say I really appreciate yall's videos though, I am a beginner trying to learn the ropes and you are one of the channels I enjoy most, the tips you give as you create your pieces based on your experience are incredibly helpful, so thank you!
I know where you're head is at but the snaps will wear out over time causing them to not hold as tight. With the loop going in towards the body as the snaps loosen the pouch will un-snap itself as it swings away from you and you'll have to keep doing them back up or keep installing new snaps. My first leather project was a tool pouch to replace a nylon one with a velcro closure I kept blowing through. I made it last Oct/Nov and I did the snap loop in towards my body and I've had to replace the saps 3 times so far as they loosen and just don't hold as the pouch swings on my hip. I don't want to sew on the loop and be forced to thread the pouch onto my belt every time I want to put it on or take it off at work. I've been considering the loop off and putting on one just like this or figuring some way to do it with straps and buckles. I honestly think this is the compromise that's made though to to have the ease of snaps.
@@TheKevinAdventures if that is the case, could you make the tail a hair longer and leave what is basically an additional flap in the back to tuck the tail into giving you the best of both worlds? No snag for the tools or on your body? Granted it would add a slight thickness to the back of your pouch, but you could account for that in your wet mold base by making it one leather thickness taller
I do this a little bit different, but the point is the same.. I use aluminium forms, with heaters inside it.. Its done in a minute, and its good for almost all types of leather
Wonderful job, but how can you make any money on an item that took over half the work week to construct??? Though it is much nicer than anything I would ever find hanging on a shelf at a store.
When doing stitch lines as long as those on the larger two pouches, do you still pull enough thread to do the stitch line in one run? I've done it that way on a few axe scabbard and knife sheath projects, and it is somewhat unwieldy.
As always a nice tutorial. I'm really enjoying your channel. Could you just tell me where you got your snaps done and how many you had to order? Thanks and have a great weekend.
Thanks for posting this. I've done wet molding but never like this with one side molded and mounted on a flat. I guess it's time for a new cell holster. ;)
If it's not good to use your stitching tools directly on the wood, how would you recommend making products like this on a regular basis? Would simply putting the rubber board on top of the wood work?
Can you wet mold thinner leathers? Not like veg tan leathers, but the thinner ones, I don't remember how thin it was but by the look from RUclips videos with veg tan leather I would say about half as thick as veg tan is? Maybe its the kind of leather made for making gloves...
I assume you wetted the leather before tacking them down? I don't know how to do "wet molding", and had hoped to learn about it...but it seems you didn't show the complete process.
iv been searching for a good place to find snaps like that for months. bought some from several well known places and have never been pleased with the end result. im specifically looking for something that would go thru about 12 ounces. any clues?
Excellent work. Can you tell what you use under your work for your punch pad. It look like it's burgundy plastic. Also, where did you get your designer rivets. Hard to make out from the video. Been looking at your videos, great work. You make it look easy lol. Thanks
My only problem is the snaps, some are good and some are bad, but they tend to be too unreliable. Other then that looks nice, and I just might do this for me. I noticed that most of the pouches don't really fit the need I would like them. I would just need to figure out how to add a tape measure clip, like find one all together. Thanks.

The paper trick for the glue up was a brilliant trick. Thanks a million!
And the paper doesn't stick? What kind of paper is it?
Very nice . I've been a carpenter for 35 years and that part that goes on the belt i would roll to the back and sew it so there fingers don't get caught on it .
Да! Совершенно верно👍
You can also wet mould your tools!, I use plastic wrap around my tools so they won't get rusty, but for pliers holders works great!!
A spritz of silicone spray occasionally will stop that . My table saw top is protected by it and hence the inspiration .
What trade do you work in?

going to attempt:
wet mold a speed square pouch, attached with chicago screws on the inside of the left main pouch
nail gun rafter hook loop sewed to the right rear nylon suspender
cats paw loop sewed to outside of left main pouch
flat bar loop sewed to the outside of left main pouch
attaching “tape measure clips” in various spots with Chicago screws
and if all that goes well i’d really like to try a horizontal hammer holster with 2” belt cut outs at 45 degrees

Wow, that plywood probably cost more than the leather at today's prices.
A full hide here in Sweden costs about 400 dollars.

Can you comment on wetting the leather. Should it be saturated? Let it settle before molding?
Yeah, no kidding.
yep! We've got a few videos about the wet molding process if you wanna search our channel, you want it to be saturated

MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU MAS FINA ATENCION
EXCELENTE TRABAJO
We need an update! I wanna see the patina!
could ya do a vid on one needle stitch i am one handed
single side paralyzed but still very handy with the right side
Top job, mate, I'm gonna make one for me. Perfect tutorial, thanks.
Very neat, good job. I would like to see it again together with the tool, in the kit.
Are you saying it's better to punch holes on a nylon/plastic pad than wood?
it is beautiful. thanks for sharing
Awesome. Would love to know how many hours total it took to make this. Just awling through all those chisel holes is sooooo tidious haha. Love it!
It was about 25 hours total - lots and lots of punching and stitching!
Wonderful job, but how can you make any money on an item that took over half the work week to construct???
Though it is much nicer than anything I would ever find hanging on a shelf at a store.

Just subscribed.
Wow l bet he was pleased with it Corter. It would be nice to see what it looks like in situ with his tools in it 😊
Puedes diseñar y fabricar una de puel, para pinzas y destornillador.
I would love to do this but don’t have the patience very nice
That turned out sweet! Nice job man love it! I'm a cabinet maker laminater trying to learn leather work, thanks for sharing your expertise
If it's not good to use your stitching tools directly on the wood, how would you recommend making products like this on a regular basis? Would simply putting the rubber board on top of the wood work?
There's a cutting board in the first link in the description - punching into delrin or HDPE is best to keep your chisels sharp :)
Beautiful work Thanks you

Excelente trabajo me gustaría ver cómo se hace un porta gafas 🥸
Hi, what is thickness ? And how did you prepared before? As i understand you mouistured before mold...right?
Love you vids. Im new to leather craft, what stitching chisels do you use
Where can I find that diamond awl? I just started leathercraft and have the same chisels but need to be able to pierce thick layers
Just 1 thing, would like to have seen the pouch with it's contents. As I'm a carpenter and wish to do a similar build myself, top build.
Thanks a Lot for this IDEA 🙏🏻. Instead of belt loop, i will try with 12mm eylets to hang it upon wall.
Great video. What type of leather is this?
I assume you wetted the leather before tacking them down? I don't know how to do "wet molding", and had hoped to learn about it...but it seems you didn't show the complete process.

Thats fabulous
a drill is another option for making the stitching holes in very thick leather. works very well
Do y’all take custom orders?
Интересная идея и такой хороший мастер класс.
Вы просто мастер с большой буквы. Браво.
Which mm tool are you using for punching holes
Beautiful!
Very nice work I'm going to make one you gave me lots of good ideas I love your work thanks for the video
That is very cool work!
Me gusto para mi herramienta de electricista. ..... muy buen video..
I dont know why but I was jonesing for a visual with all the tools in it!
Muy buen video amigo😎
Super. I learned a lot.
iv been searching for a good place to find snaps like that for months. bought some from several well known places and have never been pleased with the end result. im specifically looking for something that would go thru about 12 ounces. any clues?
Very nicely done
Very Impressive! you make it look so easy
Excellent work. Can you tell what you use under your work for your punch pad. It look like it's burgundy plastic. Also, where did you get your designer rivets. Hard to make out from the video. Been looking at your videos, great work. You make it look easy lol. Thanks
"It's not good to hit your stitching chisels into wood"
*stare at my mangled 4x4*
I have bent my punch forks many times punching through too thick of leather, I do 3 ply sometimes , it is hard to pull it back out
So do you make them and sell them. If so how much.
you got yourself some fancy equipment.
YAY!!
My only problem is the snaps, some are good and some are bad, but they tend to be too unreliable. Other then that looks nice, and I just might do this for me. I noticed that most of the pouches don't really fit the need I would like them. I would just need to figure out how to add a tape measure clip, like find one all together. Thanks.
