I believe the high mileage of a maker shows on projects like this - how one steers clear of challenges and picks the right trade offs. Masterfully executed as always Jimmy!
Hey Jimmy, little trick I’ve learned from staining leather for years: dampen the leather first, like you did before making the impression. The moisture in the leather will help the stain disperse more evenly and you won’t get the streaking.
Thank you! Good tip
Спасибо за полезный совет!
Tank you for helpful idea.
@@dormindont1 не за что!
If you use a magnet for the opening, you can get rid of the stud in the lid, and the strap should lay nicely. :)
“And just prey that when it dries it dries with an even tone” 🤣. I can relate!
Watching whistlin diesel while working 👍🏻
What a gorgeous bag!
Thank you, "Jimmy of all trades", a very creative design. Loved your giant screw press and pattern die. I wanted to learn how you sewed the bag but you were too fast for this old man. Could you occasionally slow down a bit. Thank you for the lesson Jimmy.
Question: Why not dye the leather before you cut and assemble it? All the leather work that I've done has been with latigo leather, which is already finished - all I had to do was finish the edges.
Well said. That prevents two problems: uneven stains in the leather and helps prevent the glue from sticking to surfaces to which it does not belong.
I realy apreciate how you explain everything! Awesome unique bag.
When he said his girlfriend Rachele.. I hope he meant female friend and not a goodbye to Taylor.. Or is this a new chapter in Jimmy's life?
Well Taylor won't be happy
@JimmyDiresta I love your videos! So well explained! You make it look so easy when I know it's hard work. Your creativity never ceases to inspire me and I thank you.
When I work with stiff fabric I was using the plier trick as well but I found the pliers have a tendency to slip of the needle occasionally. I resolved this issue with an awesome product from the jewellery industry called "tool magic " it's a little jar of wet silicone type substance. The night before the project (I also make costume jewellery), I dip the plier jaws in the solution and hang them jaw up on the rim of a solid mug (so it doesn't tip over) over night to cure. This allows it to evenly coat the jaws and cure. It takes on the shape of the pliers. It will give you a better grip on slippery metal components without damaging the pliers or the components. It peels off easily. Planning ahead for which tools you need will save you frustration in the procedure of stitching.
I would love to see you make something leather with Swarovski crystals! They are high end crystals. Perhaps a jewellery box with crystals on the lid in the shape of the recipients name or simply trim.
I miss your videos
I'm really loving the leather work. That canteen took me back to my boy scout camp days, more years ago that I'd care to do.the math on.
Thank you for all of your hard work giving us this content. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
That is a really cool project! Love the way the you did the pattern for embossing the leather. Your creativity always amazes. I wonder if the wood pattern would last if it was used over and over? Would a pattern made from acrylic be durable enough to use repeatedly? Just thinking that this process would work for hat patches or anything else someone would want to put a patch on. I have so many ideas racing through my head right now! Love your channel and the myriad processes you engage in to do your work. Very inspired. Thank you!!
This is spectacular! Particularly love your use of that steel bar as an "anvil" for installing your rivets. Is that bar shaped the same on both ends? If so, it might be useful to grind a rounded bit on one end for when you're doing this kind of thing. Would give you some flexibility I'd think. Cheers!
Beautiful! You’ve heard of ‘a one man wrecking crew’, you are ‘a one man creating crew’.
I made the same bag. Used a shoe buckle for the closure. My D rings are also low because of the opening. Gets a little top heavy. Fun project and I love the impression you made with the press. Keep on posting. Cheers.
Beautiful as always Jimmy! I like the shape, would fit a cheeseburger perfectly. 🤔
Great film and purse. So awesome. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Beautiful build! But what happened to Taylor?
Stunning bag, Jimmy! Fantastic work! 😃
You could definitely make it with a lot of different openings... Perhaps even zippers! Really versatile design!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Wow! Such a fabulous product & such a fabulous education in the working of leather, so many things I did not know, so enchanting to watch & learn & see the birth of such a delightful present. Thank you for sharing!
respect🤗👍👍👍
Trabalho incrível... Como todos os outros na verdade!
Beautiful 🤩 job Jime 👏🇦🇷
Heck yeah dude
Really enjoyed all your explanation of the leatherwork process, makes it sound very accessible for someone without any experience.
thought jimmy's woman was called Taylor? has there been a change?
Ya, I hate to act like I give a shit about jimmy’s personal life but I’ve been watching him for years and I’ve been wondering about that big timber frame horse barn.
Thank you things change we are friends ❤ the barn update coming soon
Thanks 🙏 for the cool video jimmy !!
VERY NICE ONE OFF IN THE WORLD 🌎. 😮😊
Brilliant creative work 👏
Rachel??? What happened to....?
The point is, it's only one on the world!
This is a very nice project. You get better and better in leather work. Love it .
that dead impression looks so good...
Someone is getting lucky tonight
"I Love it too!"
Nicely done Jimmy👍👍
probably most famous in world leatherwork: the Italians. However, a socialist gov't came in , the Chinese jumped in and bought all the companies, then imported illegal china labor, the quality suffered, Italians protested, and i think brand Fendi or similar was a major issue in the fashion world globally, the downfall of quality......
Rachel?! What happened to Taylor? Must have missed that episode.
i was thinking that same thing
None of your business.
None of your business.
None of your business.
Cool project nicely executed!
would perhaps a rotary knife, stuck on to a 123block work to trim the molded blanks?
Did you consider burnishing the edges of the leather before assembly? Also, have you considered contact cement? Nice work!
When did Jimmy split with Taylor? Who's Rachael?
Such a shame that it became moldy. Looked like a nice piece. Regulating the humidity where it is stored should help reduce mold. 🤙🏽
Excelente proyecto maestro,muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias,un cordial saludo y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia)👍🤓😜
Oh, I’d love to see a version with the straps through “belt loops” like you mentioned. I could also see a slightly larger diameter bag helping with some of the issues. Nice work!
That's BADASSSS
i usually dye the leather beforehand, and dilute it 50/50 with IPA. that way it goes on more evenly and also you can control the shade more as you can do multiple passes without it getting too dark.
Looks great - Awesome video as is your standard.
Why do you choose to not burnish the edges of leather? Especially the boxing and straps?
I think even though the d-rings are below centre, any weight in the purse will offset that. I do like those rivets too to save sewing the straps and d-rings on. I really enjoyed the build 😊
Nice work. I think if you sew a little the piece that holds the belt it will prevent the whole body from rotating around the two rivets.
Another thing, I thought you were married and you had a family and you were stable.
Mixed feelings here. IMHO, both quality hand stitching and a hand carved design are the two pillars of such an object and make it unique. I also understand Jimmy Diresta has to value his time.
Love that handle on your fly press jimmy. Excellent bit of kit!
Good day sir... Your artistry and craftsmanship continues to impress and amaze me with your breadth of materials. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather. Peace Jimmy
Risk. So true! Thanks for the inspiration and teaching, because the more we do and learn the less mistakes we have. WE MAKE❤️
Хэлоу май френд! Привет из г. Калининград. 😊
Nice project Jimmy, Good luck to all. Be happy everyone. We appreciate you, 👍
I love your videos! I work with leather and your ways of solving leather working problems is a fresh take and i always like watching. My construtive critique is to use a stitch groover before you punch hole. This makes your stitch line look better gives you a guide as well as burries the thread in the leather so i doesnt snag. Love the videos keep them up!
Its a great bag and a lot of annoying stitching! 😄
If it was me, i would consider measuring and pre-punching all the holes, then stitching as i go without glue, or glueing a little at a time. You could also work from both sides (if you dont mind all the threads getting in the way)
Might not make it any easier, but it's an idea.
Is there anything you couldn't make. I doubt it.
Love watching the leather working side of things absolutely an awesome artist and creative man keep up the amazing work
Beautiful Jimmy. Every time I watch I get inspired.
Iove it, but was hoping this was the next episode of graveyard house.
You really need to fix up a vw van to follow them around on tour. Put the logo on the side of the van. That was always the dream. Insert band name. 0:01
Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Paused and straight to Instagram for some stalking..then she appears at the end! ❤️
I have been wanting to try this on a leather bike saddle...for now I will just watch others and try to pick up some tips of the trade.
Amazing work! Thoughtful gift
Beautiful. If you make another one, just cut the closure flap so it sits flush, and put a short thin strap on top to connect to the button.
I want one
What a great project, it's super beautiful. Nice job!!!
Your die cast brass belt loop would have made a nice D ring.
Waiting here in Italy!
Me waiting in Croatia. 👋
Beautiful - Thanks, Jimmy! 😎
Always fun to see these leather experiments. Thanks for sharing!
👍
Thanks for sharing all the technical steps. Your new approach is so helpful and the bag is incredible. The video was a nice edit too and the angles were really good.
Would love to see WhistlinDiesel Diresta collaboration.
Just recently realized that a dead head is a Grateful Dead fan.
Nice build. I was waiting for you to put the canteen in the bag until the end.
I think it's the first time you haven't put your name on the product 😅
Fantastic bag. Wet molding opens up some incredible leather craft options.
I am always impressed with your creativity.
Great job as always Jimmy it looks amazing.
I love this project! Excellent work!
Effortless excellence once again! Great video! 👍
You should burnish the edges of the leather.
haha watching whistling diesel while working :D
Hello mister Jimmy beautifully done
Thanks for sharing...great job !
Fantastic,love it 🔥
Brilliant work as usual Mr D
Thanks for another lesson in life🤗😎🤗😎
Nice work, I think almost any deadhead would be happy to have that piece!
I want one... Will there be any available?
It’s a leather planer! 😂 Love the bag.
I really love this project ❤
Not all who wander are lost, but they do need to hydrate.
That is a beautiful bag. Your work is exemplary. I am amazed at the many different things your are able to fabricate from just an idea. I love your channel.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Not bad for a hack. 😉 I know your a busy guy with a lot of projects going on but, any update on the Case loader you were refurbing or the farmhouse?
Farm house next weekend!
