Making a Leather Mousepad
I received an order for a leather mousepad, so I chose to use a beautiful piece of 8oz veg tan that had a lot of nice natural markings. I lined the bottom with black dyed veg tan and used a black thread, so the mousepad can be used on either side for different looks. I did some tidy painted edges and simply oiled and waxed the natural veg tan for a finish that will patina beautifully over time.
This is just like me and dad at the workshop when I was little. He is doing something I don't understand but he is also not explaining anything or teaching me anything.
You have definitely improved in the last 5 years. Your fit and finish now is incredibly nice. Your videos are all somehow cathartic, very enjoyable and I usually learn something new. Thanks for sharing your journey!
You have inspired me. I am in the process of ordering tools and leather. I have so many ideas. Thanks for sharing your videos.
So, it's been more than 2 years. How has this pad held up? Do you still use it? Pretty sure it works really well with an optical mouse.
craftsmanship like this makes me smile :)
I love your videos. I'm always looking for projects for scrap leather (though, for me, neither of those would be considered scrap). I'm always looking for new takes on key fobs, coasters, and other little things I can give out. Any of those would be cool. Keep it up, I'm learning a lot. Thank you.
Thank you so much for creating your videos :) I've learned a bunch!
Great video! Loved watching the entire process.
Need to make sunglass holder especially being down by the water
Perfect!
What did you use for the edge?
relaxing video nice work dude
Just found your channel. Great stuff! I grew up in hingham and a professional woodworker now getting into leather working. Any advice would be great but most of all great channel and new sub!
How about a mousepad with a built in wrist rest?
May i ask what zou use for the surface ?? beewax ?? lineoil ??
Great video. What is your preferred oil and wax?
May I know what you used to stain the leather?
Hi! Tell please, what did you use for finishing? I'm beginner :-)
What leather cream did you use at the end there? After you baked it in the sun.
Hi. What type of glue that you're using?where can i get it online?thanks.!!great tutorial btw. 😊
a leather belt would be cool 😎
Did you put something underneath to keep it from sliding?
Please share types of leather goods.
Really cool video. Love see how your products are made. What are the oils you apply at the 6:00 and 6:30 minute marks??
Thanks! That's mink oil then wax paste
What’s the material you used below the leather. Is it polyurethane foam ?
Thank you for thisi great video. I just starting with my own leather working. I have a few questions:
1) What kind of brand sewing thread are you using and what the thickness ?
2) What kind of prong stitching chisel are you using ?

Peter van der Plaat use tiger thread, it is the best thread you can get! There are many colours and dimensions like 0.6, 0.8, 1.0mm...
Goodsjapan.com has very nice prongs, I would use 3mm or 4mm if you need some help please contact me
I want to add a felt backing to protect my VERY old desk. I was considering 3M spray adhesive. What say you? (Very nice video BTW!)
Passport holders! please make one!

I liked it, but it would be good if you mention the things to be used; as in the last you had put something which changed the colour. So if you just mention by text would be nice.
It looks like Eric first applied Feibing's Mink Oil Liquid (#FIBMOIL00P008Z), brought it out into the sun, and then applied Feibing's Aussie Leather Conditioner (#AULC00T015Z). Hope that helps.
I want a leather mouse pad thats 16"x36" with a felt back
Parece asmr,buen video
Luggage tag with you're own flair!
How much time do you let it at sunlight, and for what propose? Thanks
Eliezer Gonzalez so he put some oil on it first (neatsfoot maybe?) then left it in the sun to darken the leather, just like getting a suntan! Probably left outside for a day if not longer. Hope that helps
Iphone x lether cases maybe with the lv pattern
that glue got me actin' up
I am courius... What product do you use at the end of video, and what propouse have the machine with diferent width of some... I dont know... Sand? Tell me please. It is great your channel... C u next video
that's awemose. Bro, I did one but it looks like my magic mouse is no working on the leather.. it keeps failing.. it woks sometimes.. do you know why this is happening? texture or something like that?
only thing I can think of is maybe the leather you used is too reflective or something? never had a problem with natural veg, we've made a bunch of them and all good feedback on the performance
có ship qua VN ko a
Is the audio for anyone else entirely on the right side?
Sir, Do you have your Udemy Courses ?
what's your last wax?
Hakan Ozgor they are using Aussie by Fiebings.
matt smith what was that liquid solution that he used before drying it under the sun? What was it for?
Oh, oh - what about a pencil roll for artists?
06:00 what product is that?
MrViolero probably mink or neatsfoot oil
Mais comment peut on coudre de cette manière ?🤔
Legit I wonder how many mouse pads I could've bought on eBay with the amount of resources he used :P
A Person none of the ones you could buy would be as cool as this one tho
Sure if you want one without the craftsmanship quality and the soul feel, knock yourself out
Uh...how would buying them on eBay reduce the resources? Leather, thread, glue, and paint are all the same resource use on Ebay as they are in their studio. Legit.
How about a 20 slot knife roll...? Oh, and don't make the mistake of speeding it up, in my point of view, they're useless. Can't see what you're doing.
漂亮👍
Make a cat or dog collar
we did! You can search for it in our videos :)
Would have been nice to cut a stich trench into the leather so the stiches do not sit proud of the surface of the leather. now the only portion making contact with the table surface is the small crowns of the stiches. This method will also cause premature wearing off of the crowns of the threads and a less stable mouse pad. I am also not sure how well the optical mice will pick up locations on a plain smooth surface like leather. Most tech mouse pads have a pattern on the surface that allows the optical mice to locate on it. Just a few points I noticed on the video. I love the look of the pad .. Leather says durability.
we hammer down the stitching and the entirety of the leather bottom makes contact with the table - haven't had a problem in almost 10 years of making them, no broken stitching reported and optical mice work fine :)
I want to see a hard leather briefcase 💼🤔
This is good for an Apple. But, is it PC compatible? LOL
Nice job although these days we all all know that mouse pads should incorporate a wrist support
oyunlarda iyi olur mu :)
Can you also dub the video?
Instructional video, no mention of what products used. Not very helpful
