Sharing a TOP SECRET Leather Craft Trick (and more!)
We've never done a leather crafting tips and tricks video, so we decided to start with an assortment of random little tips and one BIG trick! You've probably heard us mention mosts of these tips in previous movies, but we decided to put them all together and end the video with one of our top secret techniques to make some super cool embossed products using cutting dies. We use Weaver's custom die shop to make our dies in tandem with custom stamps sourced from various places. Hope you get some new tips and tricks from this one to use in your own work!
How to leather shop, thickness of leather and the uses of various leather thickness. That would be awesome.
There's nothing more satisfying than coming up with a faster way to get something done without sacrificing any quality. I LOVE the process.
Learning to do things like cut a straight line, stitch straight lines free hand, draw a circle freehand, evenly space stitches over several feet freeehand are all basics of the trade that impress other people but are required right at the beginning of your career. I’m glad you mentioned it.
❤❤ stunning. Need some advise on inserting rivets, eyelets & press studs, manually.
Im just getting started in leather but ive spent time in a machine shop. I think it will help down the road with this type of thinking and problem solving. Top notch clarity. Thanxs
This was a great explanation, thank you. I would love to see a tips and tricks video about rivet setting
I would like to see more videos like that, its really informative, motivational and meaningful for starter leathercrafters like me
Couldn't agree more :)
I have wondered about your 3 dot technique for making a straight line for the past year. It does make perfect sense! Thank you for adding to my arsenal of awesome tricks and tips for all kinds of making. This is the best leather channel on youtube and one of my favorite channels of all time.
This must be something that only working with leather or maybe fabric makes since. I have not heard of it in carpentry. The only time you would use more than 2 points of reference is if the material was longer than the straight edge you are using. If your leading edge is straight the all marks should be the same distance. If not you need to learn how to mark better.
You always have the best tips and you’re a pleasure to listen to and learn from! A BIG THANK YOU from the East Coast! 😊
Totally agree on start on the basis tool. Because when the technology go down, we can always go back to the basics . Back to the roots. Awesome video!!!
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, great job Eric, even though I only do 1 project at a time it's still Interesting 2 C, U have given me an idea thank you, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Love that stamp first cut after technique. Fantastic repeatability.
I absolutely loved the art class story! What a cool life lesson and way to view things.
This is so awesome! I just became a leather worker so I'm obsessed with all of these videos!
Please do more of these! So much good info...
Thank you. Production efficiently with little waste. Your tip will help me as well as other newbies keep the profit line above water. I look forward to further tips.
Great idea and thanks for sharing insights and wisdom .
Wow. This was very educational. Thank you for sharing
what a great set of tips! Thank you!!
Really enjoy your videos. I never walk away without learning something new 😉
Thanks for sharing! This was really interesting and I definitely learned some things.
Great tips. For peeps on a tight budget, Harbor freight sells pretty nice rubberized deadening hammers in a variety of weights for about five dollars. Not quite the same but for the price it works pretty well and keeps the tool from bouncing on the leather/punch
The outline on the stamp design is shear genius. Self centering. Very smart. Another reason I like this channel. Where did you get your #2 blade handle? The #1 handle with the #11 blades are too light and flimsy for leather. They bend and give too much.
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Brazil.
The best channel for leather crafters !!!
Very great tips! I enjoyed watching
"Use the grid on your cutting board" - great tip, really saves me time! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I've learned a ton from your channel.
Great tips/tricks...thanks for sharing!!!
Really helpful & excellent explanation for beginners, I have learned many tips thanks again, & especially about the time.
Thank you for helping me by making all your videos you explain things very well nice and very kind you seem to be a as a person thank you once again
Just started in leather crafting, and your channel was one of the main influences that gave me the itch! Thank you! Having fun so far tinkering in my shop. The free patterns make it easy to get started, and the quick success of good looking projects has me hooked on the hobby.
Thank you for the nice tips and tricks. - Greetings to both of you.
That's amazing, thankyou so much for lesson 🙏🏻
Thanks ! Pure common sense but taken to a really useful technique and really well explained too.
Thanks for the tips! Awesome video as usual. I did see another comment about snaps, eyelets and rivets. I struggle with all of that - finding the right tool, product and making it look nice. Tips there would be awesome
Great video!! Thank you!!
Brilliant vid!
I love your videos - clear, relaxed but still efficient. You're a great teacher. Could you please share tips on sharpening EDGE BEVELLERS? Also, how do you protect and FINISH your NATURAL VEG TAN leathers? When burnishing edges its hard not to get overspill of whatever you're using onto grain side.
Gracias por compartir tus enseñanzas , maestro!
Thank you sir for this beautiful video and for sharing your secrets.
Thank you for the great video.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks! Your tips on stamping and cutting (@8+ mins) 😍
Sure enjoy watching and learning …now to get a kit!
Great tips Eric. Thanks! Just formed my Leathercraft business last year. Tips like this have really helped me along the way! Steve Simpson of Simpco Leathercraft. Thanks again!
This is great, thank you!
Excellent -- very informative!
Very good info!
Thank you. I'm a complete beginner and starting to plan to make some simple stamping projects
Get yun’s to a steel yard and get a piece of 1/4” flat steel bar, then hit up Lowe’s for the sticky backed nonslip rubber pad for furniture and where it to the back of the steel bar. For pattern or material weight 1/2” and 3/4” bar stock is great. Cut it to whatever size you need.
Brilliant. Many thanks!
The Corter Pounder. Lol. I love it.
Really useful little tips
Very nice presentation
Great tips, thank you
Soooo interesting. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video. You make such a good point on learning to do everything by hand first. I only make some things here and there as a hobby and I still have to practice a lot. Sometimes when I'm cutting I wish I had a dye (and a press xD), but I know I won't be getting that anytime soon, so I keep on cutting :).
Yes Iris, that was a good point he made about learning to cut shapes yourself. Saw the cost of laser cutters & said guess it's old school for me! Glad I learned.
This is most awesome!
Thankyou for sharing 👍😎💖
Wow it's really useful Thanks
Thank you! Great video! Please if you can next video about snaps, rivets, eyelets!!!!
Great video
Fantastic,your work, congrats
Thank you! Very useful ☑️ Greetings from Bolivia
This is great for us hobbiests
Your videos are awesome I'm planning to get into the crafts found a starter set but unsure about types of leather and linings to find.
Good on ya ! Thanks for sharing
Great Video. What would you say is the best design software for making patterns for leatherwork?
Thank you very much master 🙏
Good luck !
Keep up with the tips. I hate my job and I’ve been working there for 35 years. I want to retire but our retirement won’t cover the cost of living. I want to take my inventory to craft fairs and supplement my income. Your tips helps, a lot
Maybe something I need to save up for, dies and stamps.... (I live on the road and make short run individual items, selling the uniqueness of each thing, it, I'd love the ability to create larger quantities in short time...of course, I see to decide what it would be that I would make/sell in quantity!) Thanks for the video
So helpful.
Awesome ! Thanx !
I want to have my own leather business. You inspire me to do professional leather work while in mass production while maintaining quality.
How's it going Tim?
I got injured in a car accident, doing leather work to keep my mind off of nit having money or even a job. The extent of my injuries broken leg and foot: hardware in my foot and a titanium rid in my leg from the knee to the ankle. Just got done creating a leather bifold with 3 Italian leathers. Cant make money every way I go. You?
Love the way you share all those tips! thank you for that!
Great video! Just found out that I might be interested in learning this craft.
Short question from a person with no experience in this field: is there an argument against making a stamp, that can cut und print a logo at the same time?
Thanks and best wishes from switzerland :)
Love your classes, but this one about printing patterns works only with smaller projects. I work with bags at least 14” wide, so have to make my own patterns by hand. Thanks for all the tips!
thanks you for your sharing
Thank you so much!
Tip: I've found that the 8.5/11 cardstock can be used in a 4 in 1 inkjet printer.
Im doing moccasins, so I start with a foot tracing, build out the sole, then design the upper around it. I can do all the design work on regular paper, then put it into the copier part of the printer and print off multiple copies on cardstock.
One to keep as the original, one to cut out the sole, one to cut out the upper. Then if I need to remake anything, I can pull the original and run another copy off on cardstock.
nice press!!
cool..thanks.. helps a lot!
Good stuff
Another cracking video Eric.
I'ld love a video about "how to start selling, and building up your own shop"
I do know, you made a video about design and pricing your leather goods. So this could be like part 3...
Hope you see this. Great content 💯
Stock & Barrel Leathercraft offer this, not free but would probably quickly pay for itself in time saved and mistakes avoided.
Thank you for sharing your craft and skills, I know you are an educator, with your instruction you also challenge the listener to stretch their skill knowledge and ability by following the basics and quickening those skills with wise tool choices.😲🙏🤙🌀 Awesome. Liked and subscribed 👍🏻
This is Anil Dwivedi from India,
I'm a fan of you!!
Great video! Can I ask who made that metal stamp? I'd love to get one of those made.
If you are new to crafting like i am know that weaver leather supply will send you samples of leather. And if you are just getting started you can buy the belly cut for cheap and learn everything Corter Leather talks about. Weaver is sending me samples of the 3 weights that are currently available to buy in bellys. This way i will have a very good idea what oz weight i want to try to work with.
I have just bought a starter set for leathercraft and a bag of 500 g of scrap leather to test it. I like your videos and in an age of 51 and 25 years of professional software developer I can see my self make leatherthings to sell :) I like that it dont take a lot of space and tools to get started...
Always a pleasure learning in listening.
Straight to the point and well explained. This is an awesome video. Thank you. Not easy, a lot of trial and error to find these methods
Подскажите пожалуйста, из какого материала у вас плита, на которой пробиваете строчными пробойниками?
So grateful for makers like you who share the knowledge you’ve gained over the years - thank you.
How do you design the stamp so the registration is set perfect for your die cutter? Did you design it to work like that or did a certain company do both tools at the same time?
Thank you for all these tip vids! Im learning/ practicing to cut 😊
Pls
Easy way to install zipper to a vertical wallet all around
Amazing
Great video, I once had the peened over edge of a punch shoot off and lodge in my wrist when I was changing ball joints. Always good to grind or file off the mushroomed edge
