Holly crap, what a great Idea for making a fancy handle... gluing fancy molding together! That's has so many applications and as a woodworker my mind is in overdrive thinking up ideas. And I simply have to make an over the top fly swatter too, to blow my friends minds when I hand it to them.
I think it's funny and in a odd way a lil charming that they are finally acknowledging a demographic that buys their product. We know they can't say it outright, but those who know....
Jesus this took me wayyyyy too long to realize what you were hinting at lol
lol I was like oh is a FLY SWATTER what we're calling it now?
@@miles11we I think they call that a joke grenade. Ya toss it and wait... Lol
@@slappymchappy I was over here like "oh a leather flyswatter? I wonder how effective its gonna be at getting them flys"
I love how badly he’s trying not to smile.
Bet you anything this won’t kill a fly but will spice up any vanilla bedroom in a heartbeat- I mean, a fly swat.
Totally just used to swat flies.
Damn it- you beat me to it.
Chuck, you are awesome
This is a great little project. I'll definitely make one..., maybe I should make two of em, so I can give one to my neighbor. Bet she'll like it. 😉
I love this show chuck gets you hyped bout making leather items!
I absolutely love this.
Has anyone ever noticed how cows in the countryside are tormented by swarms of flies all the time, and thought about making a fly-swatter from cow leather to give the cow some belated payback?
Now you know how! 😃
My brother in law gets one. Thanks for the excellent tips and tricks. Learn something new every time.
😉 I just recently finished off a Fly swatter of my own, I had to add a leather wrap to the handle as well for a great look.
I'm on to you Matrix. I just made one of these a week before this video.
Hi Chuck, love your videos. Have been able to make several projects with your guidance. Can you make a video on a chef's knife roll? Maybe for an leather element ? Thanks Niels
Great project. 🙂 Always a fan of your videos🙋🏻♀️
Fly swatter... Got it..wink wink
I didn't want to be the first one to make that comment!
Next we'll be learning how to make a leather 'head warmer,' complete with zipper...
Thanks Chuck, I always look forward to your and Weaver Leather videos. If you have one on a money clip, please let me know.
note to those who make this item. The cad like drawing differs from the hand sketched drawing in the area where the handle and holes to attach the swatter. The hand drawing locates the holes by their centers which is correctly drawn. The CAD looking drawing locates the holes at the upper and lower quadrants of the holes then you add the diameter of the hole and then skip 3/4....... Use the hand drawing is what Im saying.
very nice, very clean.
Hey Chuck, which one works better? Oh I get it, you have one to do the business and the pretty one for show! Cool! Richard
Nice swatters
Love it chuck great idea.
Those are Beautiful looking great idea
This is just great.
I'll go out on a limb and say most people who make this will not be using it on flies...
Cool 2 weeks ago I'd like to make some of these cool project 😎
To be honest, when i first seen it, i didn't immediately think of spanking.......i mean swatting a fly's butt.
When you use a plastic container to hold the pro dry for dip dyeing. Do you have to use one container for each color of pro dye that you use?
Hey chuck I broke my collarbone yesterday and I was wondering if you could make a leather sling i would think that would be cool too see if it’s possible or how it would be done
If you don’t add the wood, could you use this pattern for a ID holder for work
Anyone have an idea of a second way to use the "flyswatter"? Or maybe a project very similar where you can use this video to make it.
Well I’ll catch some flack from this, but momma used to whoop our butts with one when we didn’t mind. Lol
Spanking.
Saludos👍👍👍
Wouldn't it have been more practical to have put the handle on TOP of the leather instead of underneath? That way the handle couldn't get in the way when you're swatting a fly. The flatter the leather against the surface the less chance of the fly getting away. The way you put them together, you'd pretty much have to swat them with the face of the leather rather than the suede side.
I wouldn't want to swat a fly with the flesh side (what you're calling the "suede side"). The finished side can be wiped off, rather than the insect guts soaking into the porous flesh side. Plus, I have the feeling that most of these aren't going to be used on flies, if you get my meaning...
@@muddymom Well if it IS used on flies, I'd rather stain the reverse than the face. As for OTHER uses, then it wouldn't BE a FLY swatter WOULD it. 😉
I think I'll make mine with a different shape, maybe a heart shape...
....🗿
Sticks aren't flexible
If you gauge the distance accurately, you won't hurt her. lol
Kinky! Lol
Hi, I’m a fly
