I love that energy man. Thank you for making this look as exciting as it feels.
He is the Bob Ross of leather...
I have no idea why I'm watching leather working videos, but suddenly I want to make bracelets!
"You'll see every mistake but no one else will." So true.
Thanks for another great video Chuck.
I think this was a breakthrough statement for me.
Alan Twigg
That’s true for just about every craft.
Truest statement ever !!! Lol I see all of mine lol sometimes ready to throw away n start over till someone else sees it yelling NOOOOOO at me haha
thank you mr Dorsett for all the efforts you puts on teaching us this incredible art
Chuck you are the man. Thank you for all of these videos.
that black and brown is so rich - gorgeous project, going to put this on my list for this winter.
Beautiful Cuff! And I also love your enthusiasm Chuck!! Thanks for the great tutorial! ☺️❤️🌸
Thanks for the tutorial. This is a great design. I’m making a couple of these for gifts. I like the whole idea of the geometric shapes over different colors of suede and can see how this can be carried into a variety of projects. God bless.

Hello Mr Dorsett, I enjoy watching your videos!! What enthusiasm, your love for this craft is evident. I especially like how you explain step by step and make it look so easy. After watching so many other videos, you have definitely set the bar high on tutorials on working with leather. P.S. what an awesome shop you have. So neatly arranged, I like that, shows character.
I do love working with leather, and, judging by your email, that love is transferring over to our viewers! And thank you for the comment on my shop as well. It’s pretty organized until I start a new project. At that point, organization jumps from the window and runs away… Again, thank you for taking the time to send in your gracious comments and I will do my best to keep good videos coming!

Thank you so much, Alex! SO glad the video are helpful!
Hiya Chuck,
Thank you so much for a GREAT tutorial on how to layout, cut the pattern & complete the project. The leather on top of the suede to transfer the grid for the glue layout was pure genius, as well as the cardboard stack for the spots. I see a bag for my wife using this technique in the near future, AWESOME.
Your infectious enthusiasm is wonderful to see/experience.
Thanks Again & Best Regards,
Jon
Jon, thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to watch this video. We'd love to see a photo of that bag you're planning on making. Please consider submitting a photo on our Facebook page when it's complete!
Just seeing this in 2021!!! Excited !!!
I followed you video Chuck and made my cuff...turned out well for a first try. I added a little touch by adding a row of yellow stitching along each edge. Well happy. Gordon.
Hi Gordon!
That's great to hear, I bet the yellow stitching looks fantastic!
I am so glad I came across your video
My dad use to work with leather and I love leather wanted to start making jewelry with leather so thanks.
That's great to hear, thank you for your comment and for watching!
Great tutorial! 1st time working with leather, just used materials I had available so layered together some milk chocolate coloured dress making leather for top and did contrasting mustard yellow woollen fabric underneath and then backed with another layer of the leather for the inside, brass popper but no studs! Love it thank you!
That's great to hear, thank you so much for your comment!
Nicely done
great stuff!
Thank you for your Awesome videos!! Great presentation, knowledge and enthusiasm!! All the best to you!
Thank you so much!

Esta precioso tu trabajo ,muchas gracias por compartir Dios te Bendiga y un fuerte abrazo a la distancia.
Excelente!!! Saludos desde El Salvador...
After watching this I made a bracelet like it this weekend. I used the contrast of matt v shiny leather and put on a buckle instead of snap button. Also I added a vertical triangle at each end of the pattern, Ithought it looked neater. Thanks Chuck for the video top notch, got me inspiered
That sounds beautiful!
One of the best out there. Thanks

Another 'Thumbs Up!' video!
A wonderful series of videos. Any chance you could do a video on which tools to buy to get started with this craft? Like.. what would you put in a starter kit?
There are some basic tools to get started, but as you progress, each element will require a certain set of tools/materials, such as dyeing, stamping and lacing.Try this list of ten items to get started:
-Leather-I would suggest an 8/9 oz veg-tan because this is a standard weight and a very versatile leather that can be formed, sewn, dyed, stamped…
-Steel Square
-Utitlity Knife
-Poly or Rawhide mallet
-Poundo Board-for cutting patterns and leather
-Revolving Punch-punching all manner of holes
-Rivet setter and Double Cap rivets-A selection of small and medium would be best
-Quartz slab-for setting rivets/eyelets/grommets and for stamping and tooling. The slab is, typically, the heart of your leather shop.
-Oil Dye- The color of your choice
-Leather Balm-Top Coat
As you progress, you can start adding elements and the associated tools for those elements (usually very affordable) such as setting buckles, setting snaps, stamping/tooling, lacing, antiquing, hand sewing and so many more!
I hope this helps in getting you started!
All I could think was, "How neat would this design look on a bridle?" Thanks for sharing.
11:02 I felt that
Master exelent SUPER менде сөз жок РАХМЕТ.
Hola desde España,me estoy iniciando a este hobby y me encanta sus trabajos , la manera que lo hace ver, lo veo sin saber lo que dice ya que no domino el inglés, sería un gran detalle una traducción en español, por qué estoy convencido que tiene muchísimos seguidores de habla española. Felicidades de nuevo
Buena suerte en su esfuerza.
I can't help but thinking that pattern making is so much faster and easier on a computer.
Hi Chuck, I am doing a lined purse with a design cut in, I want to dye the edges after I saw the outside together, can I slick the edges?
I have 3mm four prong nail head spots and can't find tool/s to set them. Any suggestions on what I can use?
Great video tutorial! As a beginner, this really has me motivated to try making a cuff! Question, is it not necessary to smooth or finish the edges?
Hi Faith,
That's great to hear, we hope you enjoy it! You can absolutely smooth and finish the edges, we would recommend smoothing the edges of the veg tan leather before applying the suede liner. Suede is chrome tanned so it won't slick but the veg tan will. Hope that helps!
A thought.....if one was to hand set a spot at each end, one could place a straight edge up against them, leave a gap for the thickness of the spot setting tool & set the remaining spots rapidly & concisely. I'll have to give it a go & see if it works.
Thanks Again & Best Regards,
Jon
"Easy Enough!"
Gorgeous! Why not set the spots in the top patterned piece and then apply the backing? That way the pokey bits of the spots don't show and don't come out on the suede.
I used the video on making mystery braid cuffs to get guidance on wrist sizing. Seven inches would be too large for me.
I absolutely love this design and layout. Have sold several of em' already. However, Chuck says that cutting the diamond shapes our may be tedious. For me, its a bit more than that. It's downright excruciating! So, one day I thought I'd come up with an absolutely brilliant idea that would virtually eliminate all that time in manual cutting. I thought that if I were to take a small 3/8" English 'V' punch and cut out the shape by first punching the initial cut, the inverting it, it would do the trick. Oh man, started patting myself on the back, was nearly about to call Chuck personally, and tell him what a genius I was... an overnight sensation if you will.. Then I tried it... Sadly, it looks really stupid for the application. Like a "Jaws" guppy with its mouth open. Ah well, I suppose I'll project genius another day. But if someone with more Moxy than I, can get a welder to manufacture a 3/8" to 1/4" triangle shape, or even diamond on to a punch shank, well there would be a patent in the making. Weaver would mark them made in the USA and market them as one of their quality tools. The Chinese would mass produce them, sell them to the masses here in the US unsharpened. The possibilities are endless!
Q hermoso trabajo lástima q no entiendo cómo hacer los dibujos
Hello Chuck once again from Scotland. I have made a leather cuff bracelet following your video and farly happy with the outcome. I noticed in your video how easy it was for you to remove the triangle parts from the leather, one cut for each side. I have purchased two of, what i thougt were good crafting knifes, but took me several cuts for each triangle. Any ideas ? Thanks, Gordon (using 1-2oz veg tan)
Hi Gordon,
See if the video below helps, setting the leather on foam may help get those cuts clean. A long point knife will also help. ua-cam.com/video/PbRtq0evFIA/v-deo.html
When he says die , I can't rap my head around it. It sounds like hes saying some suicidal shit sometimes and others crafting meaning lol.
I am interested in using skins for a background. Could I basically glue the skin to one side of the suede and then assemble same as your video? Hoping this gives me the leather crosshatch, skin background, and suede inside. But do I need to change any of the weights or thickness? Thanks in advance. Love your videos and products.
Hi Karen,
Thanks so much for watching! Just making sure I'm understanding correctly, would you want the skins as the background and the crosshatch cutout design in the suede? If so then yes you can use this same design and not change anything!
I love these projects! But may I ask a question? What is the difference between carving wood knives and carving leather knives?
Wood carving is a bit different than leather. When carving wood you’re actually removing wood to create the designs whereas in leather you’re cutting the surface with a swivel knife, but the balance of the work is done with stamping tools that impress or lift the leather. Many of these tools have very specific jobs such as a “backgrounder,” which will impress the leather with a texture, or a “Bevel,” which, like beveled glass, will force down a specific part of the design, thus giving it a multi-level appearance. We hope this helps!
11:01 me too mister, me too...
I was just wondering if it wouldn't be easier | more efficient to mark the width of your cross hatch while marking the spots.
That way you can skip the marking of the cross center lines and directly mark the cross border lines instead.
It looks quite less tedious than having to try drawing the cross border lines as a parallel to the center line as well.
I like this leather cuff and intend to make it.. Wanted to ask if 3-4oz veg tanned leather would be okay to make a leather watch cuff. Thanks
Hi Gordon,
Yes, that should work well for a cuff style. If you're going to double layer it, we would recommend a 2/3 oz.
Hi, sometimes it is nice to keep things simple, the plain band with holes would have been very nice, nicer to me. And the blue on its own, beautiful blue.
thanks
Thanks for making this and your other video's, but I do have a question: is there a reason that you wanted to pierce the entire bracelets with those spots rather than hiding the prongs of the spots between the leather and the suede layers?
Hi Kevin,
The reason I did this is if you put the spots on first and then glue on the suede backer it sometimes doesn't lay quite as well. You can absolutely do it that way though - just make sure the tines are as flush with the leather as you can get them. Hope that helps!
Hello Chuck. If I can just ask something about cutting.When you are cutting your diamond shapes out with your knife how would you avoid cutting into your good piece of leather when reaching the corners of your cut. Thanks Chuck...Gordon
Hi Gordon, see if the video below helps! ua-cam.com/video/PbRtq0evFIA/v-deo.html
I like to put foam behind the piece of leather and cut with my blade up and down - this helps to stay within the cutting area.
I have a couple questions. The soft cloth you use the Adam balm with, is it like a tshirt fabric? Can you wash it and reuse it, and if so what do I wash it with to get the chemicals out? And do I only use laundry detergent and no fabric softeners?
I hate to say it but most all my rags are old t-shirts so I have to buy new rags (sounds odd?) for the videos. And, yes, these are just t-shirt material rags sold in bundles from any hardware store. I can’t imagine washing these is an issue, I would agree with you on just detergent but no fabric softener.
Chuck I think I missed something did you wet the suede to get the impression or put something on it
MrDragon- Thanks for asking! No need to wet the suede. Rough the suede a bit (small brush…) then press the top leather in place on the suede (a rolling pin helps). This will press down the suede fuzz where there is no cut-out and the cut-out areas will remain roughed. It’s pretty easy to see, but it can disappear in no time if something slides across the suede before adding the glue.
