How to Make Stacked Leather (but not on a KA-BAR knife) with the xTool P2 / Leather working ASMR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2023
- This is a technique usually reserved for making stacked leather knife handles (most famously in U.S. military KA-BAR knives). However, in this video I'm using my xTool P2 CO2 laser and Proxxon DB 250 mini lathe to make the leather washers and spacers for foot pegs on my e-bike.
btw, this is honestly a kick-ass machine. If you're interested in purchasing, below are some discount links xTool sent me to save you a few bucks:
Below is a link for saving a few bucks purchasing a P2 direct from xTool. I was given this code to pass on to my viewers when I first received the the laser. Hopefully it still works:

Why would someone spend that much time making such beautiful foot pegs?
BECAUSE HE CAN!
Props to you on another great project!!!!❤
Thank you very much!
Really neat project, matches the bag on your bike you made awhile back. 👍
Those look slick! Great idea.
Glad you like them!
Now all you need is a rifle scabbard for the front!
Nice use of stacked leather. I use a small chip brush to apply Tokonole to larger areas. It keeps my fingers dry. Just a thought.
it was more of a sensory thing for me . . . the feel of the smooth, sanded leather between my fingers.
@@RoadAgentLeather Totally understand.
Brilliant. I was looking at that lathe and realized that you could do that on a drill press. Just drop the platform and put a brass plumb bob in a machinist's vise or something.
Yes, you can do the same thing on a drill press. I've had that Proton mini-lathe for years and use it for my scale model ships (another passion of mine).
I was going to remark that it probably isn't too much of a challenge to make this with $1000 worth of tools. But then I follow the link and see that the laser alone is $5000!
Ha. You don't need a laser to do this. Just a couple sizes of circular punches.
You did amazing work on this projects. 👍👍
Excellent work! God bless you, praying for you!
Always innovative and entertaining
You could use cold blue to blacken the steel hardware. It would be a nice touch to prevent the shiny steel from detracting from the nice leather pegs.
I think the bolts are plated so it wouldn't work.
Damnit! I've been trying to talk myself out of buying a laser, and you're not helping.
Cool project! Gives me ideas.
Lol. Sorry. But Yes! So many possibilities . . .
. Awesome video! 😀
Thanks! 😀
Ahead stick components...oh yeah!😂😂😂
Very nice!
Gives me an idea for a bullwhip handle.
good idea. I've never made a whip before.
Don’t use a piece of « Jean »(10mn33sc), you can loose yours fingers or a hand. Instead, use a piece of wood and so, your leather will be shiny with the tokonolé. 👍😉
cool
Those are going to bend .
Was in full suspense till the end. Looks really good. need to blackout the bolt, but that's just me
ha. Someone else just mentioned that. Maybe I'll take a magic marker to it.
what was that you were brushing on between each layer ?
It was diluted glue. Eco-Flo leathercraft glue to be specific.
Why the casing before cutting? Thanks for the video!
helps the leather lay flat. Also helps a little with the scorching
@RoadAgentLeather Ah, makes sense. Thanks.
Olá amigo, venho acompanhando seu trabalho maravilhoso.
Aqui no Brasil não tem alguns produtos para couro iguais vocês tem aí.
Você consegue me ajudar a comprar? Preciso de informações para saber onde comprar e qual o produto certo.
Posso te passar meu contato.
👌🏻🤝🏻
I love you holsters, vale trays and other leather craft. Nice to see someone showing off something that was given to them to advertise, but I would rather see you real leather carts. Hope this is not a sign of things to come.
It's just a way to speed up tedious parts of the construction. I could have used circular dies and cut the leather discs out with my arbor press. . . . but thought this would be more interesting to watch.
Do you mind sharing what brand dye and colour it was ?
It's mostly Fiebing's Spanish brown.
Thankyou , it’s a beautiful finish on that part you made 👍
Stacked leather without the Ka-Bar… is that even legal??
lol. Dunno. I think Buck sells a knife with leather grips.
@@RoadAgentLeather lol that would be great! Your work looks fantastic as always!
Stacked leather is common on slater’s hammers (used by folks who lay slate roofs, and one of very few tools where there truly are right and left hand versions).
@@kennethjackson7574 thanks! That’s pretty cool
Чепуха
Dude! You have way too many toys. 😂
It would have been very boring watching you cut those by hand.
A lot of the stuff I have is from my other interests. For instance, the mini lathe I've had for years for turning the masts and spars on wooden ship models.
I also love to be creative. I have many different interests. I'm just not that great at most. I just have a deep desire to create things. Thats kinda' funny that I spent my career destroying things with explosives. Haha.
You gonna fall very hard if you going around a corner with speed and must lean over!
nah. They don't stick out much farther than the pedals do
These videos are great, but this is a "how it's done", not a "how to" video lol
NEVER use a rope while it’s turning…DANGER!
Are you referring to the sandpaper on the mini-lathe? Why is that dangerous?
Seriously?
So much time to waste to make a long footboard of shitty steel, which will bend at the first press.
so far it's holding up. Will let you know if it fails.
Time well spent
