DIY - Making A Leather Watch Cuff / Band
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 січ 2017
- My father has this watch for many years now. But the band broke few weeks ago. So he asked me to make him a new leather watch band.
He wanted something close to a bracer rather than a simple watch band he could buy in any store. That's what I came up with.
I hope you will like it.

Lovely work. It was great watching it come to life. Best part was the little leather worker hammering...!
Lila B Thank you very much. The kid likes to help. He loves hammering stuff 😉 Thanks for watching.
A dedicated artist filled with so much passion for his work!!!!!
You are one of a kind keep up!!
Ur the man!!!!
Thank you very much Teresa. Much appreciated!!!
great leather work - and the music really help set a great tone.
Thank you Jimi. That kind of music and leatherwork go really well together I think.
I had a thick leather watch band back in the 70's as a kid. I thought is was the coolest. Bringing cool back one project at a time.
Thank you Chad :)
The Redsmith 👍
That watch is HUGE! I want to put it on a necklace and walk around saying, YEAAAAAH BOYYYYYY!!!!!
Thanks a lot! ;)
I like watching podcasts and these simultaneously
What podcasts ?
Dude, you killed it. Again. Beautiful
Thanks Andy ! Happy you liked it.
I really like watching your leather work. I save these videos for the day when I start to try leather work. Great job. Scott
Thanks Scott. I appreciate it ! Hope you get started soon, leatherworking is very fun !
Nicely done!
Thanks mate !
Looks great and cool to see you have a helper
Thanks. He was a great help. He loves working with me, I mean, mostly hitting stuff with a mallet, but I love it. ;)
I liked the work and enjoyed the music, but to me, what made me love the video was to see (I'm assuming is) your kid "helping" you, specially when you pointed where to hit. It cracked me up!
conguerican Thank you very much. Yes it's my little boy. He loves helping me. Specially when a mallet is involved 😊
Awesome work man it looks like it will last forever. Fantastic edit too!
Thanks Dan. With some oil and care, it should last at least a life time ;) Thanks for watching !
Super Job, Love the detail work!
Thank you Dave. :)
I love the little helper. Excellent.
Thanks. He likes to help me building stuff :)
Looks awesome! Love the red and black color scheme!
Thanks Chris. I love the contrast between black and red ;)
Love your work, thanks for sharing

Thanks :)
Awesome work ! Really like the closeup views while you're working !
Thanks Rémy. Closeups are very handy to hide the mess of the shop ;)
Congratulations on the excellent work,
research and patience,
Mostly, it looks very handsome.
Thank you very much ! I appreciate it.
Love what you did with the Hublot you have given me some idea to do with mine as I've always hated the rubber strap that it came with and although it also came with a leather one as well it just fails to do the watch its self justice.
Tobius Lunar Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Very very great craftmanswork!
Thank you very much!!
I absolutely love it it looks awesome wish I was talented enough to do that
Thank you very much for your kind words. But I'm sure you can do it too :)
That's some nice leatherwork, Red! :D
I like the idea of a cuff style watch. I been wanting to make a steampunk styled one for a while :P
Thanks Azayles ! I saw a steampunk one few years ago. I think that's what inspired me for this one.
that's great , good job
Thanks mate !
Great work. You do inspire.
Thank you very much Dan !
Hell yea, excellent job and thank you Redsmith!
Thank you!!
Looks nice!
Thanks Bruce !
That Came Out Beautiful!!!!👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much !
Beautiful work. Beautiful video.
Thank you !
I make these too, just haven't made this style yet. I like the red suede underneath. Looks clean and works great with the red thread.
Your kid whacking your hand was cute. 👍
Thanks a lot :) He likes doing that!! :)
Really nice work.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful work.
Pauly Smit Thank you very much!!
ça c' est du beau travail, mes yeux se sont régalé merci du coup je m' abonne .
Merci beaucoup Paul ! Bienvenu
Piece of art
Thank you very much!
Man that's awesome buddy you make it look so easy. Hope your hand is ok after your kid mistook it for an anvil hahah 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks buddy. No, my hand is fine, he doesn't hit very hard. For now :)
Super nice!
Awesome Wood Things Thanks Matthew !
Superb work my friend!
Thank you Alex ! ;)
This would have taken easily a week to make with all the drying and pattern making, the sewing. My gosh. And the soaking of the leather. (If you do that.) very impressive!
A little bit more than 3 days, but yes, it took me a long time to do it. Happy you liked it. Thank you for watching!!
Well done!
Thank you ! ;)
Very well done my friend.
Thank you very much !
Y así se trabaja en cuero ..señoras y señores,que bella pieza mis felicitaciones
Muchas gracias
Jaw dropping awesome project I love it
Thank you very much ! :)
Gorgeous work.
Congratulations.
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks a lot!!
Very nice
Thank you !
Good job!
Thanks a lot!!
Bet he likes it! that's a man's watchband!
He seams to ;) Thanks for watching !
Lol no real man would wear that hipster trash. Well made. Sure. But it’s trashy
This is one project I want to make in the near future
Send me picture when you're done with it ;)
This looks amazing, I just have one question though, how would you change the battey without taking apart the whole thing?
MrSquirmyPig Thank you very much. Just by unscrewing the two little screws on top (or bottom) of the watch, you can access to the back of it.
That was oddly satisfying!!!
Thank you very much !
Great job.
Thank you very much!!
Trop la classe !! so great !!
Merci ;)
Bonito trabalho, feito com toda paciência, muitp bem detalhado e explicado, muito bom. 👍👍👍👋👋👋
Muito obrigado, eu realmente aprecio suas amáveis palavras
Very cool project, looks the part! Is the screw connection between watch and leather strong enough?
Thank you ! The screws are going through the leather, into a metal threaded hole under it, which makes it pretty strong ;)
Nicework
Thank you!!
Amazing !!
Thanks ;)
Very cool brother... love dads watch!!
Thanks Lonnie. Hope he likes it too ;)
Beautiful
Thank you ! Glad you liked it.
AMAZING
Thanks a lot!!
lol. so funny... kid smashing dad's knuckles with wooden mallet....(2:37).... labor of love i guess..... good video. thanks.
Thanks a lot ! :)
Labor of love for sure. He loves helping me. He also did for the Viking Tent.
Awesome brother 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Chris. I appreciate it. :)
The Redsmith yes sir buddy. I've been catching up on my videos lately.
Cool. I've got to catch up on some makers too.
Outstanding ....I love it
Thank you George!
Hermoso regalo. Felicitaciones
Muchas gracias :)
Просто молодец!!!👏👏👏👏
большое спасибо
Muy bueno me dio gana de tener uno y regalarle a mi viejo
Muchas gracias. Feliz que te haya gustado :)
Hi Redsmith, thank you for sharing good content about leather, if you dont mind, may I know what kind of leather you use?
Hey mate! Thank you very much. For the band I used 2.6mm vegetable tanned leather, and for the smaller parts holding the watch, 1.4mm vegetable tanned leather. I hope it helps. And thanks for watching!
@@RedSmith Thank you so much for sharing mate, you're the best
@@tatanodachi My pleasure 😊
Fantástic👍
Thank you very much !!
very nice
Thank you Francis !
Beautiful work! thanks for teaching me the technic. Do you think some place like Michaels would have everything I need or do u have any tips or places that might be better for my first time at this?
Thank you Ricardo ! It depends on where you live. If you are in the US, you can go to Tandy Leather. They have all the supplies you need for leathercrafting. If you're not living in the US, you can order it online on their website :)
Thank you very much for your response, I live in California. I will be looking them up on line and also around my area.
Thanks Ricardo. I hope you'll find everything you need. If you have more questions, don't hesitate :)
Thank you , I will.
Amazing
Thank you very much!!
And that's an omnitrix i could wear, well done!
Thank you!!
Parabéns gostei muito do seu vídeo mostrando como fazer a pulseira bracelete vou fazer uma para meu relógio obrigado fica com Deus 👏👏👏🙏
Muito obrigado. Que bom que você gostou.
bravo👏👏👏👏👏 saludos desde chile!!!
muchas gracias :) Saludaos de Francia
That is pretty awesome! I'm interested in beginning something like this myself. Is there a 'how to' for beginners and a list of tools I need? Thanks...
Thank you very much. The tools you could need are listed in one of my Instructables : www.instructables.com/id/Blacksmiths-Wrist-Cuff-Custom-Bracer/
It's not this watch band but the work done is very close to this one. I'm working on an Instructable for this one too and will publish it as some point. :) Thanks for watching.
Great stuff! Thanks for your help!!
You're very welcome. Always happy to help and share what I know :)
Precioso espectacular enhorabuena
¡Muchas gracias!
Me agrado mucho el trabajo y la forma de hacerlo 👏👍
gracias
Looks great but how would you change the watch battery?
Thank you very much. I just take off the two screws on top or bottom. Easy and quick to do :)
Hola buenas tardes facinante tu video JL
Muchas gracias. Me alegra que te guste.
Totally amazing again. Total time on this watch band ?..... Thanks Mike
Thank you Mike. Around 4 hours for this one. Dye needs to dry ;)
I love your colour scheme very nice indeed and the craftmanship is bang on. I must ask was the leather a bit old? Because it looked a bit crumbly
Hot Lava Thank you very much. Yes it was a bit old and dry. I used a leftover from a previois project 😊
The Redsmith Oh oki but i saw you did a great job of bringing it back to life very Good job indeed
Thanks a lot :)
The Redsmith Oh you're welcome
Cool ton hublot, j'espère que ta main n'a pas enflée. ^^
Merci. Bon c'est pas une vraie mais c'est pas grave. Non, ça va, la main va bien ;)
Отличная работа! Good!!!!!!
Спасибо!
Love it but how do you change the battery?
Thanks! You just unscrew the two screws on one side and you can access it :)
Hola vivo en usa y tengo un reloj marca mount blanc de 20mm la correa era de goma usted cree q me puedas fabricar una de leather déjeme saber gracias
Para fazer isso, eu precisaria do relógio e da medida do seu pulso, e eu moro na França. Tenho certeza que você pode encontrar um perto do seu lugar.
BIG COMPLIMENT👌👌👌👌
Thanks Lukas !
Padrão!!!
Isso é uma pergunta ou um pedido?
Hola. Cuánto me cobraría por hacerme uno igual y mandármelo a Trujillo - Perú?
Hola. Gracias por ver. Necesitaría un reloj para eso, y desafortunadamente sería muy caro.
Mi respeto que tal obra de harté con el cuero
Muchas gracias. Feliz que te haya gustado!
I like it. The best
Thank you!!
@@RedSmith ok
I like the step by step process, but I would like it if you showed the stuff brushed on. Just a quick flash of the label before you apply it.
I mainly use products I bought in Japan and can't be found elsewhere, but if you have any question about it, I will be happy to answer :)
The Redsmith it's just that I don't know anything about it so I'm not sure why you're doing what you're doing. I could the people with some experience probably understand but I don't know any of it
Well, to answer quickly, I use vegetable tanned leather. I burnished the edges with a leather finish called Toko Finishi. I used black leather dye then applied natural oil and two coats of leather finish to protect it and make it shiny. That's pretty much it. Thanks for watching and your interest in leatherworking. :)
The Redsmith Thank you! I'm using your video as a base to make Legend of Zelda watch bracer, so the information is appreciated.
M. R. Watson Legend of Zelda watch bracer ?! Woaw That's cool ! I would love to see that. If you have any more question, feel free to ask. I will do my best to try and help you.
EU GOSTEI QUERO UM COMO FASO PARA COMPRAR???????
Obrigado. Posso vender você, mas será sem o relógio :)
How can I made that with a cover for my smart watch, any tutorial
Same thing with an extra piece to cover the watch
un sueño hecho realidad..
Gracias
