Hello Mr. Porter. I have just begun working with leather. I have some tools and have been working on some basic kits from Tandy. I am so glad to have come across your channel. Thank you very much for all of your efforts here. Your educational videos are top notch and I really appreciate them. Please keep up the great work.

Arthur
Hello Stephanie, Thank you for watching and for your compliment, if you use a regular sewing machine, you will have lots of problems trying to sew with these machine, you will need a industrial walking foot sewing machine.
Arthur
I really like this video! Thanks for sharing! Hope you do more of these! Thanks again.
I'm a bit of a leather hobbyist. I've made a several guitar straps for myself and also some wristbands. Mostly because I didn't want to pay $300-$400 dollars for a handcrafted strap from California. What I have learned is that it isn't necessarily the materials that is expensive, but the time and labor involved. Especially if you do some tooling/carving. This is a fantastic video, thanks for sharing your experience!
Awesome work and lots of patience! Keep it up, Arthur! And thanks! :)
Hello Peter, You are WELCOME and Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and for your compliment.

Hello Load Dragon, Glad to hear we were some help to you, check our our video on Embellishments and Tools, some time there are people on Craigslist trying to sale a collection of tools.
Arthur
My watches sale $65 - $185 it depend on the watch face and what embellishment I use.
Arthur
Thank you so much for the response!
crystalinez831, Thank you for your comment and for watching, we have more on the way.
Arthur
This video is so cool ! You explain things very well & the wristbands/cuffs/watches come out looking great. Would an ordinary sewing machine be able to cope with sewing through such thick leather? also I was wondering what kind of leathers do you use ? Thank you for the awesome video, I'm going to go & watch some more :-)
Hello Shay, You are Welcome, The glue that I am using is from Tandy Leather Factory and it is the Leathercraft Cement Brand, What is PVA?
Arthur
a proud award :) I wonder where you can find the customer for it. in the usa is the economic crisis.
If you look at the economic as a WORLD economic and not as a USA economic you will not sate your self short, If you look a our video on Price Point, you will notice that I say pricing is something that each individual have to decide what they will charge, I have no problem charging that.
Arthur
Trop fort bon courage
I will do a part 2 which will be wristbands
Arthur
You are amazing
you are welcome
Thank you, I love it.
Hello Edith, You are WELCOME and Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and for your compliment.
Arthur
I know that this may be an odd question, but I located watch faces on goodwill auction for a good deal. but after you attached them to the band. What do you do when the watch battery need to be changed? Question a customer asked but I had not been confronted with that question. I think I know the answer but I am asking The King of Leather.
Hello Mr. Porter, I just found your channel! You make beautiful leather pieces! Can these leather bands be sewn on a home/domestic sewing machine?! Thank you in advance! I would love to be able to give this a try!!!
Aurthur- GREAT video!! I purchased some tools from Tandy today and am going to start to make watch bands. What type of leather is that? For the Veg leather (I'm not even sure what that means- Veg?) Tandy only sells the entire hide for over $100. Can you recommend a good leather that is affordable, like the one you used in this video. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to watching your other videos.
Hello Tom, Thanks for watching and for your new purchase, if you are looking for leather to make watchbands, there is a company we purchase from, Water House Leather, they mostly send you earth tone colors like brown, if you call them and ask them to send you some bright colors, them will try to send you some colors, if you are looking for watch faces, go to www.aliexpress.com you can find a good selections.
Arthur
Arthur, How do you change the battery after it dies? Would you just reccomend drilling out the rivet and resettign?
Hello Nickels, send me a blank e-mail and I will send you a short video on replacing the battery.
Arthur
Arthur
In relations to measurements I see you have added 2 and a half inches to you're wrist measurement. To take end to end to 9".
If someone's wrist measures 6" would I add 2 and a half inches to 6 or 3" to take to nine.
Is there a certain rule that needs to be followed?
Thanks
Rahul
Hello Rahul, adding 2 1/2" is the rule that I use, others may have their own rule, this one works for me.
Arthur
Hi Arthur, I hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. I have a question, I am still working on my grandsons watch band and I am using vegetable tanned cowhide 6/7 oz for the band because he wanted a steampunk looking band, I was wanting to ask you if 2/3 oz vegetable tanned cowhide would be okay to us for the keepers for the watch itself? I cut the keepers at 7/8" the size between the pins and it fits really well but my concern is, will you be able to get the pins out to change the battery when you have such a good fit, any suggestions would be much appreciated. My daughters bracelet turned out perfect, I will send you pictures in a few days. Thanks so much for your help Arthur. Tammy
Hello Tammy, Thank You, we do have a great holiday season, hope all is well with you and your family, most people think that they will have problems with changing the battery, you should have no problems with this.
Arthur
Hello Arthur, Love the videos, could you please tell me where you source the watches?
Hello Paul, You can find a collection of watch faces on Ali Express web-site, we will purchase the watch with the band included and we would remove the band.
Arthur
Arthur, I was wanting to make my grandson a special watch band and watch for Christmas and, my daughter is wanting a bling-bling bracelet. My question is do you have patterns you sale for your watch bands or can you tell me how to make the style you are showing in the video, it's a white band with turquoise rivets and the square spots. I was wondering how you can keep it symmetrical when you have it wider in the middle and then it narrows down towards the snaps. I just want to keep it symmetrical and do a good job at making this gift for my daughter so any advice you could give me or if you sale patterns would be great. Hope all is well with you and your family. Thanks for your help Arthur
Hello Tammy, You are WELCOME and Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, send me your mailing address and I will send you the pattern and a sample, send it to
info@dalladesigningdreams.org
Arthur
Thank you so much Arthur, you are so kind and I can't thank you enough. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I will send my address right away. Tammy

I really enjoy your video's, how can we find out about your classes ? Thank you
Hello Chuck, You are WELCOME and Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, you can call me for any questions you may have.
Arthur
I know this is a 7 yo video but I just found you!!! What type/brand rotary cutters & scissors do you use?
Hello Johnson, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, at the time I made this video, the shears I was using were from Tandy Leather Factory, we now use the 6" Fiskars Amplify RazorEage Brand, we purchase from Amazon, you can also use the same brand Rotary cutter!
Arthur
Very nice videos Arthur, thanks. A simple question: I have a simple sewing machine singer 4228, but I have a problem and I think that is the timing, do you know where I can find information about how can I fix it? thanks, and have a nice day
Hello rvaldeskreysa, What type of problems are you having with your machine?
Arthur
thanks for answer. The problem is the needle is bumping at the bottom of coil holder
and do not work and do not sewing. I try to find information about how fix this, but, for this especific model, I dont find anithing
anything jeje sorry
rvaldeskreysa, Try re-setting your needle, take your needle our and re-set it make sure that it is push all the way up in the needle holder and make sure the hold of the needle is facing you, if that do not work, here is a sewing machine shop that may be able to help, ask for Jerry are Antonio 214-358-3549, this shop is located in Dallas Texas, it is worth a try.
Arthur
HI Kind Sir
I am studying to be a watchmaker/jeweller and I am inquiring if you could actually list the brand items of all your tools and glues etc please
Hello Scott, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, if you send me a blank e-mail I will send you a list of supplies and where to purchase them, send to info@dallasdesigningdreams.org
Arthur
What is the clear plastic square measuring tool called?
Hello James, Thank you for watching our videos, if you go to Amazon, search for Omnigrid rulers and you will find them. they come in a pack of 4, you can also fine the 24" TrueCut rulers.
Arthur
Thanks!
Arthur how do you sharpen your ole punches?
Hello Judy, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, I tried to sharpen my hole punches that I purchase, I was not able to do so, I had to re-purchase a new one.
Arthur
Is there a way to tighten up a snap?
Hello 1goddarddr, Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos, the best way to tighten your snaps, if you are using a hand press to close your snaps, you have to put more pressure on the snaps, if you leather is too thin, make you a leather washer for your snaps.
Arthur
Hello supernatural child of God, You can replace the battery after you attach the face to the bang, if the face have a pin in it, you can remove the pin, if it do not have a pin , just flip over the face and you will be able to replace the battery.
Arthur
