Very nice work. It's nice to hear someone happy with Eco Flow instead of bashing their products. I have learned new tips from your videos. Thank you for doing these.
Beautiful work Mr. Cheany! I am beginning to learn leather crafting. Will watch more of your videos. I enjoyed this one.
Looks great, Bruce. Thanks for the video and the knowledge.
You're the best Bruce. Thank you for these great videos! :)
Beautiful craftsmanship on the belt Bruce, your attention to detail and finesse is outstanding, a testament to your years of work.
That's a nice collar, the antiquing went in the grooves perfectly. Must be one big dog.
Nice job. That collar looks great!
Thank you, Mr. Cheaney. This was exactly what I needed. I want to make custom dog collars. Your work is stunning.
Thank You!
Great tooling work!
Enjoy your tips.Tks.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Thank You
Keep up the great videos
Thank you for sharing your work. Great stuff. What do you use for your leather backing, like on the dog collar. Looking forward to seeing more wonderful videos from you.
outstanding
I'm having troubles with the "antique tan" turned more orange that tan, what's your take on that
Great videos! I just wanted to ask, can you use Super Sheen instead of Tan-Kote before the antiquing? Thanks.
+pearlheartgtr Yes, you can I have tried it and it does resist the only thing and problem which was major is the Super Sheen is not flexible if you bend the item such as a belt or guitar strap it will surface crack badly...For flat items it is perfect and works great. Thanks for watching and your comment. Bruce
Bruce,
Do you have any videos on Antiquing from start to finish.? I am having a really hard time getting my coloring to look nice. Also, do you always use Sheep's wool as an applicator as opposed to a damp sponge or dauber.? And last, do you always line your belts, collars etc.?
Hi Bruce, just a quick question. Do you use Neatsfoot oil before using the first sealer? I never noticed you mentioning it. Thanks!
Hi Bruce i've noticed some of your saddles appear to be oiled only. What is the finish (if any) you would use on such items that will be cleaned and oiled regulary. Some of your other saddles appear to have a browner colour is this achieved through dyeing, more oil, sun?
Can you wash and re-use the sheepskin pads Bruce
I don't think it will work because the wool looses it's body and is flat after it gets wet. Good question!
Hi, when use antique on a handbag the antique finish can be use in the others parts of the item without the tooling to match the color? Or only in the tooling and regular dye in the others?
Yes you can antique finish smooth leather as well just be sure to put Fiebings Tan-Kote as a sealer.
@@cheaneysaddles thanks a lot!
Also anyone else that wants to add their opinions that would be great.
Do you create the dye yourself?
Hi there, Mr. Cheaney. I'm hoping you can help me. I know the products used in this video are not exactly what I'm going to ask about but you mentioned Fiebings products, so here goes. I've asked my saddle maker to use Fiebings acrylic Antique stain for a special effect on my saddle. The results are exactly what I wanted but a problem has come up with being able to seal it properly. It seems anything I put on it reactivates the water based stain. I got to where I can spray on Leather Sheen (several coats) but if I come back and wipe it with a damp paper towel, it pulls off the stain. Any suggestions?
+Betsy Freeman I would suggest getting in touch with Sheridan Leather Outfitters...I think they may be able to help you. www.sheridanleather.com/
Hi Bruce,
What if I'll paint the whole thing in Spanish brown color, apply a tan-kote, then fiebings antique dark brown, and finally again fiebings tan kote, what do you think? Do I have at the beginning soak the oil?
Thanks
Jozef
szymon bujara It will turn out really dark.
what beveler did you use?
hi again Bruce where did you get your makers stamp I don't know where to get one made for me? ????
Joyce Engraving or Steel Stamps Inc.
The reason I and is that some people say to do a proper antique you need to oil the leather.
Hi
Tan Kote is not water tesistant , but i need for antique, what are you think if I put resolene on tan kote?
+szymon bujara Resolene should do the job for you it is a good protective finish made by Fiebing's.
Thank you very much my master:)
Have you ever painted a surface in a bright color and then applied an antiquing gel?
The reason I am asking is, I see people that have a good tooling on things like rodeo style belts, and then they paint the tooling in a bright color, like blue, yellow or pink for exp. All the hard work instantly looks cheap plastic knock off, and the bright colors over power all the detail making it even worse. Is it possible to use this to remedy the issue?
If so, what is the process of applications and what is your opinion on the matter?
Ok, that was the answers I was hoping for, really appreciate the advice and procedure explanation. Thanks for your time, I'll give it a go
