Our 2022 Leathercraft Gift Guide (Giving AND Receiving)
The end of the year is a fun (and stressful) time for crafting - so many gifts to give, and so many passionate hobbyists to shop for! Here are our favorite products of 2022 for gift giving to the leather crafter in your life, and as a leather crafter here are our thoughts around making things as gifts for loved ones, friends, family, ets. Happy Crafting :)
My wife is going to be super excited to see she got me the thread set. She said thank you.
I'm not sure if this guy cares but his videos convinced me to take up leatherwork. It's more fun than I would ever have imagined and would love to thank you for the inspiration.
Buckleguy is great - Just out of stock of everything all the time - and you can't tell what they have in stock until you click all the way through the product to grab it - then the weight of leather or thickness of thread isn't available - So 20 minutes in to shopping for a bunch of stuff they have nothing I can use, and the few things they have that I can use are readily available from other suppliers without the shipping charge and frustration.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Where do you go? I find the same issue as you.
@@tianamarie989 I've had great luck with Rocky Mountain Leather Supply, although sometimes they are out of stock for a long time as well - but their website is far easier to navigate.
@@landmarkleather thanks! I'll that site out.
Opening up Buckleguy on another browser as I watch. :) And keep giving us partial face shots and we're going to splice them all together!
I am not even a leatherworker yet but I need those lil stackable toolboxes because I have so many little sewing projects and I could throw thread and fabric, patterns and pieces and have it all in one place so I can switch between them a lot easier. My desk gets chaotic FAST.
It’s triply you said that about the wallets. I went around and asked some people if they’d want a wallet for Xmas and the hesitation was enough for me to “welp I’m not doing unless asked”. Now the two simple tote bags I’ve made have been revived a lot better and I’m actually seeing people use them! … and yes someone did as for a wallet 😂
If most guys are like me- I’m extremely picky when it comes to buying a wallet already and I only have had 2 in my 40yrs. So you’re right that can be a tough gift.
I laughed so hard at the moment when you put the round acrylics in the bag, and they definitely did NOT end up in the bag. That's so me 🤣🤣 Thanks for keepin it real! Agree on no wallets for gifts (Ask me how I know 😒). Glad Kayleena is back! I have to get that thread sampler.
2 face teases in 2 videos??!? According to my calculations, at this rate, we'll be full face by New Years 😉
I was going to write some big responce about how you make me feel at home watching your vids. Still dont know how to say it. Please keep on moving.. Happy Holidays.
I kept waiting for a kitty cameo 🐈⬛ thank you for the recommendations 😃
Maine Thread braided poly is a game changer. I absolutely love it.
I love you guys . I start leather craft a year ago and you've been a huge part of my learning experience. I suffer from a horrible anxiety disorder and can't handle a regular job. 10 years previous I was a stained glass artist but made the switch to leather. I love your patterns and videos . I just wish you guys showed your faces lol drives me crazy 🤪 . Anyway thank you for being you .
I just looked at this clog for the first time… and I won’t be able to follow this channel as much as I’d like because they don’t show their faces…it feels uncomfortable…so I understand!
With regard to anxiety. It is dreadful. I started struggling with anxiety around 6 yrs. ago… and was prescribed all sorts of meds, which gave me side effects or dangerous reactions. I don’t take meds if I can avoid it anyway. I found at the natural health shop a natural capsule called GABA. And another capsule called Anxiety Formula. Both are natural and can be bought over the counter or thru A.az.n
They have helped me immeasurably.. there are great reviews for each too!
It’s such an awesome feeling not to have anxiety. Be safe ! 🙏🌟🕊
I'd rather be able to put a face to the voice but it's not gonna keep me from enjoying there content. It may be a thing that it causes Eric to be uncomfortable. I totally get that if that's the case . As long as they keep making great videos I'll keep watching them. Thanks Corter leather you guys Rock.
I know the feeling of having made a gift no one uses. I have made 2 knifes for friends. One for a buddy who wanted a hunting knife and one for an engineer. So I made fancy pen knife type of thing for the engeneer and a beautiful hunting knife for the hunter. Both sit in drawers. I learned the hard way too. Now I get to see how my brother responds to the leather portfolio/business folder I made for him being a real-estate guy.
I'm making little cardholders for my extended family to go with the gift cards my family always sends out. I like the low-effort wallets because I'm not going to be sad if they don't end up used.
If someone took the time to hand make something for me, I would find a way to use it.
I mean at this point make kaylenas ( sorry if I mis-spelt) job easier and do the full reveal so she doesn’t have to dodge your mug.
Great advice in this video as always. I need that ritza sampler kit, and the scissors.
Valet trays have been my go to gift giving item. Easy to make and customize.
I just got into this video I just needed to say those wallets look amazing.
Love to see you use new products instead of looking at them on a computer thank you and still waiting on the chisel package 😊
Most of my tools are at my parents house but I had a few things to make for the holidays. I was able to fit everything I need for wallets in one of these tool boxes. It’s great.
I’ve been drooling over those Toyo boxes!
I love that thread set 😊
Love your videos, been watching for around a year now. I love that you showcase new products, show us your amazing skills in what you do and you're both so down to earth and honest. I look forward to continuing to watch you wonderful folks, I hope your festive season is merry, bright and full of wonderful memories in the making ☺️ also, kudos to your kitty who tried so hard to make it into the video! 😂 Virtual hugs to you all, here's to another year 🎉🍻
Oh I like that thread. Always looking for more options and colors.
The white Toyo toolbox is popular with woodworkers as well, for the same reason you gave. Open it up, and none of your tools are hidden.
Love the coaster holder ideas!
What a great video! I can’t wait to get and give the piece I got on Black Friday! Luckily, I know they’ll use the wallet! Haha!🎉
I would love more information on how to make the coaster set and tray please.
The talking belly with hands haha
You know it, put that on my tomb stone
Awesome video man!! Can you make a leather care video?
Would love to have a vid on how to make a circular and square coaster set🎉
Thats so funny, those japanese toolboxes are very popular in niche stationary stores for craft supplies and Ive had my eye on them forever. Art stores carry them a lot as well. Great for paintbrush storage.
If I had your mad leather skills I would make a tool caddy
Thanks for the vidoe. You're getting SO CLOSE to a face reveal.
Click bait via your thumbnails ... Manup and quit messing around and either show us your face or stay in the background. Adding a person to your thumbnails with their face hidden is childish. No one is here because of your looks. In fact, the way you are doing these smacks of feigned modesty. Stop it.
A lot of great ideas! You should do a video on creating the perfect mobile leather toolbox loadout.
The new mic sounds good!
Could you do a video where you dissasemble a tri-fold wallet and turn it into a card holder or something slimmer?
Love your camo bag! Is there a pattern available for that?
Once your new studio is setup and organized; may we see a picture of your new studio? I love the boxes, definitely will be ordering a few.
Nenu mee videos chusi leagher craft nerchukunna thank u
great video. I'd just finished making a batch a coasters for my work colleagues when I watched it :D. If only freight from the US to Australia was cheaper :(. Merry Xmas to you both.
The thumbnail person seems good with his craft
Hired model, never sewn a thing in his life ;)
@@Corter 🤯
Why do that with any model. What is the point. Bad marketing... shame!
please please please tell me you're almost ready to release your stitching chisels! mine are starting to bend a little and i want to make it last til you release your set. great video as always. Keep up the amazing work!
We are!
@@Corter YAY!! you guys are a big inspiration for my leather craft journey and i watch your videos every Friday while i'm at my video editing job haha! Thank you for making such great content for all of us!
@@Corter I was wondering about the chisels, too!
Thanks for asking, @Abbarith!
@@divalea Tell him I spent and hour looking for those
Can you wet mold two pieces that are stitched together colorblock style??? I make colorblocked bags, they've all gotten a keychain 😅but the coaster sets are an AMAZING idea!
I use an engineer’s wooden too chest. Can’t beat it. Well you could but I can’t afford Gerstner
Love the new mic!
Thanks! We need to build a few ceiling panels for the echo but we're getting there!
@@Corter and feed your cat lol
Probably too late for this question to get a response but… how does the Maine thread color hold up over time and wear? I have a bag I made that I use everyday. I used yellow Ritza thread. I noticed that it didn’t take long for the color to fade and it now just looks white in the heavier wear areas. I have used Maine thread before but just in the tan and maybe a blue but it wasn’t a heavy wear type piece so I’m not sure about it’s colorfastness.
I'd really like to try the Maine Thread but I'm not sure how the Ritza .8 (which is what I use) matches up to the available options in the Maine Thread. Side note, I do currently use a big plastic tackle box to store my supplies to take on our extended camping trips! Love the anniversary wallets.
Ritza thread thickness is measured in millimeters. Maine Thread has a great little conversion chart. Their .030” is .76mm
, and their .035” is .89mm. So there isn't one that is exactly .8mm, but they carry one that is a hair thinner and one that is a hair thicker.
I wish Ritz hade more colors.. Maine seems to have a bunch
@@rizzobjones7548 Different shops seem to have different colors. Between Buckleguy, Weaver Leather, and Rocky Mountain Leather you can find almost the same amount of colors.
Maine thread is garbage. Take anything this guy says with a grain of salt, this whole video was just a sales pitch for kits of subpar supplies
Pretty sure he did a video on all the differences a couple months back.
Teasing us with that face reveal
The leather used in the sewn coasters. Is it chrome dyed or is it veg tan?
Does anybody know when the grab bags are usually available? I checked like 10 times over the last 3 years or so and I was always late…
usually once or twice a year, we announce on our instagram! @CorterLeather
Who is in your thumbnail??
If I was using .08 Ritza, what is the size equivalent to the Main Braided Thread?
What weight of leather do you use for the coasters?
Who's the person in the thumbnail?
Hired model
@@Corter 😅
In all humility: I am aware that you are an expert in the materials technology of all things leather & leather crafting. Please let me introduce myself as someone who, over a period of 60 years, has become knowledgeable in many areas of "materials science". As an avid outdoors man, knifemaker, and Mac Toolman, there are only a few products I am not aware of that rust. Load and carry steel tackle and tool boxes are some of the most rustable products ever made. I'm guessing here, but feel comfortable knowing that you, Mr. Corter, are not an outdoors person. I am saddened to hear that you were the person who recommended to Buckleguy to sell the steel toolboxes to leathercrafters. I will never put any of my expensive, usually non-stainless steel leatherworking tools in a mild steel container. Dissimilar metals, when stored together will begin a galvanic chemical process that guarantees rapid rusting away of those tools. No amount of painting, powdercoating, or even multipart resin/hardner adhesive products will protect those tools being stored in steel containers. Please consider alternative plastic heavy-duty fishing tackleboxes, like the ones made by Plano in Texas. I have kept over 60 pounds of tackle in my 747 model Plano for over 5 decades, without problem. Take it from an old master mechanic and Mac Toolman, you really need to change direction on where you keep your $120 skiving knives, French Edgers and other high carbon steel tools, longterm. Some of your customers and followers won't appreciate the result of having kept their leatherworking tools in unheated garages, in steel toolboxes.
I see your point.. The design is good. And remember they look cool. Im a 50 year old carpenter. And would stay away from these boxes to0.. The small one that can be stacked i would like..They would look cool in the shop.. Some leather crafters like paying more for tools. Just because they look nice.
I live on a farm and camp on the beach and grew up fishing on Long island Sound, so if that's not outdoorsman enough for you I don't know what to tell ya haha. As I mentioned in the video, you'll want to make cases for your tools if you're going to use a tool box - not because of the whole dissimilar metal thing, but so your tools don't hurt each other. I think comparing tackle to this use case is an extreme long shot, These boxes are made from galvanized steel then powdercoated - it would take years and years for a stitching chisel to sit in the box, untouched, after the coating had been removed, to rust. There really isn't a worry about the whole dissimilar metal thing, especially considering you should 100% have every tool in a leather case or sleeve if you're going to keep them fee floating in a tool box as I mentioned in the video.
My skiving knives were $23 though, I don't really use expensive tools - I also don't let the blades float around in a tool box, we have a great video on how to make sheathes so you don't hurt yourself on the blade if you want to check it out :)
another face reveal ?
Your felines are displeased 😾
now that they're right in the next room they are NOT happy when they get kicked out for filming time haha
What do you look like? All I see is your hands!!
Perfect thumbnail. Teasing us again with a face reveal. 🫣
Oh yeah... That's a great point about wallets... 🫣
Great video. Thanks for showing the product. I'm running low on inventory. Next year I will be stocking up again. Main thread and snipper cutter I nees and other things. All the best to you.
