A lot of people will want to use leather that is not big enough to trace out the entire pattern. So we cut it to show there is an option of piecing it together if you are limited with your leather size. Plus we find it just adds a really finished touch. We stropped the edge beveler with heavy weight thread and jeweler's rouge.
Absolutely gorgeous
Hi Abby, I know I'm late to the party...Your chair looks great!! The links provided are closed and I wondered a few things...I would like to know the kind and weight of the leather used...would like to know the gauge of Carriage Thread used and lastly the size Stitching Chisel used... Thank you
would be cool if you gave credit to the original designers from Argentina (BKF chair)
Was hoping to see how to do the padded neck pillow in the thumbnail photo...
Do you have a link to the burnishing agent?
Try dabbing your pricking irons on a bit of beeswax, it helps immensely with it coming out of the leather after punching...JR Leather
Thank you.
I use that method on all my punches and pricking irons...
I've been finding using a fine sandpaper on the edge as well before burnishing has really helped.
I love DIY leather projects, nice video, great design
very nicely done really beautifuly done
It's fantastic
Where can one find the frame? Does Tandy sell it?
Hermoso trabajo saludos desde mexico
tại sao lại cắt ra làm 4 sau đó lại may lại ??? sao không để nguyên 1 tấm nhìn giá trị hơn hẳn, cách ráp 4 tấm lại với nhau là do tận dụng các tấm nhỏ lại thành tấm to để sử dụng
Thank you, good video!
If its not a secret, for how much is it real to sale in USA?
Are all butterfly chairs pretty much the same size or would you have to have a pattern for each one? Just wondering if you could just buy the frames and make a few of these at the same time.
There's enough variation across manufacturers that you need to copy the pattern off each one.
I assume the reason they cut and sew it back together is so you can add a reinforcement strip along the back and bottom to support the weight load when someone sits on it... I could be wrong just speculating... 🤷♂️ Seems legit lol
I'm lost as to why it was cut and then hand stitched back together.
See my above comment...
why cut it in 4's and add joins and hours of stitching? there is probably a reason but i dont get it ?

oh ok cool, I think the best finishing touch would be wetting it down and custom moulding it to your own butt cheeks hahaha also it would look great made out of one of those icelandic sheep hides would make a real fluffy comfy and warm seat
Yo, Tandy... where can we get the frame??? :-)
try "butterfly chair" on craigslist - they're common. Just get a metal frame from the 50s and not a cheap modern one.
nice work. whats the thckness of leather?
Weight/Thickness: 8 to 9 oz. (3.2 to 3.6 mm)
@@TandyLeatherCo Where did you get the frame for the chair?
What did you use for stropping edge beveled?
We put jewelers rouge on a thick string, works like a charm.
Anyone know why they cut it into four parts? Does the stitching prevent stretching or something?
I posted my thoughts on why they did it... Could be wrong though just taking a guess...

Who would downvote?
...Vegans, everytime.
BlackPhillip But Tandy only uses Vegan leather.
Someone who is just being challenging.
