Nice Tips! One very important thing that you do without even perhaps noticing, is that you place the ruler over the piece you want to keep. This way if your knife wanders or goes off of the ruler, the stray cut will not ruin the project piece. Thanks for the post. Keep up the good work. Stay Safe.
One mistake I've been making that I notice you and other leather youtubers avoid is cutting out your pieces directly on the hide. Instead cutting smaller sheets to work with makes the cutting more manageable and less likely to damage the rest of your hides. Cheers!
That's so true mark! i had been struggling with that and damaging my larger hide until i realized that too!
@@SamuelMcCunemusic I just did a wallet project like this and the matching pieces came out more of the same size then ever before haha
@@marktaro that's awesome!
Thanks for the comment, actually you cought my attention there.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your work is beautiful.

Good job sir.
Awesome video, Terrick. I love your teaching style and pace. Thanks for these tips that are easy to implement but not always intuitive! Using the awl to mark blemishes from the backside... 👍🏼Cheers! -Tanner

Thanks, glad it was helpful
It was indeed helpful. You have a great teaching demeanor about you that I find interesting and somewhat calming at the same time. Another great video. Thank you! Robert from Alabama.
Hi Robert, thanks for your message, I appreciate it.
Great set of videos. What thickness of leather did you use for the wallet? Thank you
Nice!
Thanks
❤
what thickness do you prefer for a bifold wallet? just starting out and find it hardest choosing the right leather for the project :-P Enjoy your videos keep up the good work! : )
Thank you,your videos and leather projects are amazing! I’m currently making a “kiridashi” style knife for cutting my leather,would you recommend leaving the edge as it is,so it would be kinda like a chisel (so an angled bevel on one side and a flat on the other),or should I make a secondary bevel with a much smaller angle ( I was thinking around 5 to 8 degrees)?
That depends on a few factors, but a small knife like this may work work well with a single side bevel. This would cut like a Japanese style leather knife. If you are making it you could always add the second bevel later.
CHARTERMADE thank you very much for the answer! I’ll try it with a chisel Grind and see how it goes,as you said I can always grind it later if I need to.
Thanks for your advices which are very helpful....keep creating..!!
Thanks George
Great video, thanks for sharing. One question, when you cut against the steel rule you seem to have the knife slightly slanted away from the vertical (away from the rule) - is that correct or is that just the way the video was made?
Thanks for your message, I do explain this in the part 2 video of the chartermade blade for the l inidpensable. I made the blade with a single bevel but the video explains all.
@@CHARTERMADE Dankie :) I will take a look at that video - appreciate the reply :) Lekker aand :D
Hi Terry, thank you for great advice, I do have a question; what is it you use to mark the leathers imperfections? It looks like a silver colour pen?
Yes it is. I bought a box of these years ago they are made by Schneider. I often just use my black Bic pen though for this job.
CHARTERMADE - I like your style 😀
Anyone selling some sinabrook pricking irons?
Tips on tools we can use add home if we have no leather tools?
if you happen to have an exacto knife of some kind with your craft stuff they work pretty well but you will go through blades fairly quickly. another option is if you have some real heavy scissors they work ok too!
@@SamuelMcCunemusic What can I use to make the lines and holes for sewing? Everything I have tried has turned out horrible. Practice practice...lol. I am disabled with no income, buying tools right now isn't an option. Thank you for your help and time. God bless.
@@theresa_lili for that you would need some kind of awl, an old ice pic or any sharp round. I would take a ruler and Mark a line where you stitches will be. I still have trouble sometimes with the stitch lines though ... Just more time is all! Hope it helps. Also I only have one video of leather work up but I have a UA-cam channel you could check out I'll be posting up more videos hopefully soon. It's Dark Lake Forge. Have a good one!
@@theresa_lili oh I just thought of it, you can also punch the holes with a nail. Just tap it through and pull out out!
where do i buy those tools like knife and all
