I'm learning english and I found this channel, I like watching craft videos, love leather goods, and need to better my hearing comprehension, so this is a useful channel!
i learned the art of leathercrafting back in the 1970 (Pathfinders Club) and now the church I attend wants me to teach the art to students; wow this brings back memories.
hi i am a student at a school and i was wondering if you could add some more vidios about advanced lether making and making some wood stuff perhaps. you would help my class out a lot.
+Rachel McCormick It's all a matter of reference. Lighter mauls are typically better for stamping where heavier mauls are often better for driving. The main thing is to avoid using a metal striking instrument as it can shatter the tools.
What is the rotary tool I've seen in a video that indents or even possibly punches leather for thread holes? I am not referring to a rotary punch. This tool has the same size tips on each of the rotary arms to make a line of threading "holes" that are perfectly evenly spaced.
It's called an overstitch tool if you mean the tool with the little spiked wheel? It doesn't punch the holes it just marks them for you to use as a guide to punch or drill the holes. It is easier to just get a 5mm stitching chisel set from Weaver Leather, Tandy's are too expensive or too small you don't want to use the 3mm spacing as that is forthin leather like a wallet, but I just use two sizes now most of the time. 4mm set for wallets and thin 4oz or less leather and the 5mm for everything else. products.weaverleathersupply.com/search?w=stitching%20chisel
Sam Myer You can do it on thin leather but first masking tape the backside real good and make sure you roll the tape on the backside with tool #8080-00
"dampening" is mentioned but not demonstrated - as if those of us looking up videos on "how to stamp leather" are just going to know how that process works, what it entails and the best way to go about it without having any need or want to actually see it.
Just take a damp sponge and rub it on the leather. Let the water soak in for a few minutes until the leather starts to return to its original color and is cool to the touch
No you cannot do this on most old belts. If the leather is finished and treated the water will not take to the leather. This is the type of leather used for belts and stamping (Veg Tanned Leather ) www.tandyleather.com/en/product/natural-cowhide-belt-blank-2-5-1-cm We the leather until it soaks about half way through the leather.
ArtyHelen Most natural Vegetable Tanned Leather is well suited for stamping. Finished leathers typically do not take stamping well and it can ruin the finish.
Hello Rion! You could start with a Deluxe Leathercraft Set which would come with the basic tools and walk you through getting started. www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/55502-00.aspx If you knew specifically what design you are interested in making, you can buy the tools needed individually at www.tandyleatherfactory.com!
Craftaids are a great way to get a good pattern. www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/home/department/leather-craft-patterns/craftaids-ind/craftaids-ind.aspx Each Craftaid will tell you the specific stamps you will need for the design, but most utilize the "Basic 7" that are included in the Deluxe Leathercraft Set or available at www.tandyleatherfactory.com/8170-00.aspx You can also use our alphabet stamps to create the name. www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/home/department/leather-stamps/alphabet-number-leather-stamp-se/alphabet-number-leather-stamp-se.aspx
Am I the only one who can't stand doing this kind of stamping? The supposedly easy monotony and systematic pattern stamping drives me nuts, because it lacks the smooth flow of carving.

What do you use a maul or mallet instead of a hammer for stamping? What is the best maul weight for stamping?

Thank you sir for the detailed explanation
can you do this with thin leather?
Yes, but veg tan leather 4 ounces and up will produce the best results.
Yes you can. as long as you are using full grain vegetable tanned leather, you can stamp on it.
Awesome
Thank you very much for this video

Hey does anyone know where i can find leather crafting/ stamping tools at?
Tandy Leather, I got all mine from my great aunt, also Tandy Leather has kits that come with a tool, leather, ect that aren't too expensive.
Thank you so much.
very cool good infomation
I'm sorry, I know it's only for demonstrations but my OCD can't handle the lack of symmetry! He obviously knows what he's doing.
Awesome. Thank you so much.
Do you case this or at least wet it before stamping ?
Yes, you want to dampen the leather prior to stamping.

Der hat Zwar krumm und schief gestempelt aber das Prinzip hab ich verstanden 🤣👍🏻
What kind and size does this type of work require? I know it has to be vegetable tanned, but what size should be used for which project?
for belts 9/10 ounce leather would work
@@jamisonosvatic5083 holy cow i forgot i commented this. Been making leather for years and selling it now. Crazy 😂
Great, thank you
what kind of hammer?
Can I stamp into ANY leather, or must I use tooling leather only?
ArtyHelen Most natural Vegetable Tanned Leather is well suited for stamping. Finished leathers typically do not take stamping well and it can ruin the finish.
thank you sir

superbe!
Очень интересно.
Я только учюсь спасибо за уроки.
How expensive is it to get into leather? I want to stamp and emboss a bridle for my sister...

Nice video for technique and informative but his execution is rather sloppy
He's a shaky hands old man, just like I'm getting to be and it isn't any fun.
gran'pa can't see shit. triggered my OCD too many times. but good video anyways for the explanation. thank you!
Wow, this man is old, lol.
Your point, apart from declaring the obvious, is?
Old = expert many times, it's a plus
