Thank you so much for making these videos! I am a just a kid, and your videos really inspired me to start leatherworking. What leather would you recommend buying for starters? And what needle should I use for .4 ritza?
I use pipettes I ordered on Amazon to fill the Montana markers. Pipettes are a helpful supply in my studio - in this case it eliminates the dye mess. I just sit the marker I am filling in an old salsa jar to hold it upright. Hope this little tip helps someone. 😊
super, super nice - and honestly I wouldn't even buy much of it until BG started selling panels because it only came in heavier weights. It's wonderful for carry goods in lighter weights, always been my fav strap leather :)
I'm really excited to try this out. As I've said before I'm new, I've made a few things. This looks like another one I can try. I've made the lighter thing several times for friends
Sure looking forward to when I can get a brass xacto knife from you guys! I have been using the 'brand name' one, and I bet the brass one, has a nice feel and some heft to it. Keeping my fingers crossed !!!lol
As you use the marker, the wide leading edge gets a bit frayed. At that point, you get dye or edge paint on the good surfaces. That is when I go to the sides of the nib and they work perfectly for keeping them at right angles to the leather edge. The edges don't seem to fray much at all. Keeping the liquid where you want it.
I am a fan of your fully pulled string for the first needle while stitching, please explain how to make it consistent result, tried them but not as consistent as the half pulled string, yours definitely faster. Thank you Sir
First I have to say I love your videos, they are really informative and you cinematography and editing is top notch. Any chance you can do a video at some point in the future, about lining? I'm just getting into leather work, but a lot of what I'm interested in seems to be considered higher end or advanced techniques, and thus isn't discussed much. In general it seem like lining isn't a common topic of discussion. For example I know you can glue two pieces of leather flesh side to flesh side and stitch all the way around it. How do you make a fully leather lined card slot on a wallet or folio without stitching across the top (something I've never seen)? All the wallets I've ever seen or owned had rolled edges that got glued to some kind of liner fabric. Do you just take really think leather and fold it in half and use the folded edge as the top of the card slot? I'm sure i can't be the only one person with a lot of questions about this topic. 🙂
Do you all plan to do any videos on the Buckleguy acrylic templates? I got the both tote templates and have no clue how to make sure my stitching holes will line up. They aren’t marked on the templates.
Great wallet...and a very good cause, too! One question, before I buy the pattern; would this work with a 6mm spaced chisel? I think you're using a 5mm one there, so I'm not sure how a 6mm one would look. Thanks in advance! 👍
Are the edge beveler from Buckleguy any good? It seems to be a japanese one from Oka Factory. I see you used the Weaver beveler for the second shot. It seems to be working smoother and easier...
i like them! I'm just used to the weaver ones which have a very, very different approach angle, but take off a lot more leather at the smallest size - so I have to get used to the buckleguy ones is all. They're super sharp out of the box though, it's more me needing to learn how to use them. The Weaver ones are basically like safety scissors - there's no possible way to take a chunk out of the edge like there is with any other beveler. but the flip side is that they're not as fine as the buckleguy bevelers, so you can't really easily bevel lighter leathers without hanging the piece over the edge of the cutting board or something like that
I have the OKA edge Bevelers punches and punch mats. All of their stuff is TOP notch. Looks like Buckle guy is reselling the OKA stuff. Can’t have everyone finding out they can order direct from Japan for half the price minus shipping. Respect the hustle. Love these videos
The leather looks very yellow in the video, which one did you purchase and did you Die it? What is the thickness and overall size of the piece you were using?
I am wanting to try the tape you used last week. I always make a mess with glue and thought that might be a good alternative. Is there a reason to use glue over the tape? Also, I knew you'd live the marker!
I have a request, I am a dabbler in leather, interesting, but I would like to make, what some call a belly pouch, or pouches, and be slim, with a wide elastic to hold secure, one to hold a CCW, compact, (and idea could expand) and the second would be a wallet and phone carrier. Most likely this would be worn under a shirt but over the pants.
I have two questions, how often do you change out your X-Acto blades? And also, how do you sharpen an edge beveler? (question three, how to spell "beveler"...)
Nice project! What is the best way to get in contact with your shop? I've been sending emails (and a dm) about an unfilled order for several months with no response. Please advise.
I use 5mm myself, but I don't like small stitching as I think it looks unbalanced with pieces much larger than a watch strap - that's all personal preference!
A great project but you say super, before a lot of things, super easy, super fast, super slow, super anything. I have not heard that before, I can’t concentrate on the project, because I’m waiting for the next super. It’s super, distracting, but you are a great leather worker, thank you.
I'm a kid at heart and I really love your videos as well as your easy-to-follow instructions
You are more than amazing brother
Love what you are doing to help these makers out. I purchased both pirate and this guy's.
again snother simple and yet functional project. Thanks Eric.

004 John James will work well with smaller diameter threads (around 0.6mm or less).
Aye man same I'm 13 and I've made around 200 bucks from this trade I'm loving it
@@thebassslasher9457 wow that is so cool!!!!!
Bro me too
We work amazingly, I learn a lot for my videos and work! Congratulations, thank you for sharing your experience!
I think you are a badass for donating these patterns in support of Ukrainians! Thank you!
This is such a cool way to keep connected and donate. Love this form of direct action. Thanks Eric
Just bought the pattern and am excited for my new weekend product. Also, very happy to support a good cause. Thanks for making such great content!
TRULY AMAZING AND INCREDIBLE. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏
I know what I'll be doing with my Saturday! Really enjoyed the first pattern.

very good again
I love the markers. Been using them for about a year now
Красиво! Respect from Russia 🇷🇺
respect right back, from what I hear even your comment is dangerous to make right now - be safe, thanks for speaking up!
You’ve convinced me to finally get the Sedgwick leather, I wasn’t sure how it would be but now I’m going to pull the trigger on it.
super, super nice - and honestly I wouldn't even buy much of it until BG started selling panels because it only came in heavier weights. It's wonderful for carry goods in lighter weights, always been my fav strap leather :)
Another great pattern!
Get the viccy get the Jackie!
Another great tutorial!!!!
Please film how you get beautiful stitch holes on both sides. Please!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this valuable information with us, it's a very good project, good luck bro

where do you purchase your brand from on your leather? outstanding job and i will be ordering this soon

Love Buckleguy.
What thickness leather?

What is the best thread to use in a small project
I feel really stupid, but I can't find the checkout button. I would have donated last week, but couldn't find it on yours or the Buckleguys site! Help
Is it ok to use double sided tape (which I have) instead of glue (which I don't have)?
yes! it should work just fine :)
What's your favorite ounce thickness of leather for wallets ?
what size is the leather panel shown at the beginning of video?❣️💪🏼
It's the london tan color and the 2 sq. ft option, I believe it's about 26" x 11"
Nice project! What is the best way to get in contact with your shop? I've been sending emails (and a dm) about an unfilled order for several months with no response. Please advise.
hmmmm, so sorry about that! Try corterpayments@gmail.com :)
2.7mm / 3.0mm /3.38mm / 3.85mm which hrole punch better? for wallet and same projects
I use 5mm myself, but I don't like small stitching as I think it looks unbalanced with pieces much larger than a watch strap - that's all personal preference!
@@Corterthank you diamond Hole you use that i saw
👌👌👌
10:56 Looks like Barge don't know what a pint is! Unless, of course, it's another weird American-ism!
It’s pronounced TOL-you-ene
A great project but you say super, before a lot of things, super easy, super fast, super slow, super anything.
I have not heard that before, I can’t concentrate on the project, because I’m waiting for the next super.
It’s super, distracting, but you are a great leather worker, thank you.
why the product is not in the color of the Ukrainian flag? outrageously
