Another quick tip for beginners, a soldering iron can also burn your threads and if you adapt your small stamps to thread into where the tip goes you can use itbrand with. You can also adapt a cheap drill press for handheld drills to hold the soldering iron to use as a hot stamp.
Hi there,
I'm brand new to leather, but I've been a woodworker for years. You are right about stropping. That's how I keep my hand carving chisels nice.
When you make a strop, avoid using a 2x4 as your wood base. As temperature and humidity changes the wood will move and distort its shape a bit. Instead use a piece of 3/4" MDF, or a scrap of cabinet grade plywood. Those are dimensionally stable, so there will be no wood movement issues to change the shape of your sharpening surface.
Happy crafting 😊
Greetings,
Thanks for the overall video, with practical tips and hacks.
I've been doing leather for a few years, and you showed me some new tricks. Especially the heat gun for scratches, and the string trick for stropping edge bevelers. Good stuff!
These tips are so genuine, I don’t know much about leather craft , but I can see them be actually helpful
Thank you 10000x over for putting such quality content out. Your channel has inspired me to finally start learning leather craft. I’m excited to try some of the projects on here.
"Creating corners. There's a way around this." Nice pun.
I'm just learning about bookbinding, but would love to combine it with leatherworking someday to make beautiful leatherbound journals and/or books. I love how your explanations are clear and to the point.
This has got to be one of the best tips video i have seen in a while! Thanks for sharing and I hope you make more. I'm new to leather and learning stuff like this makes it more fun and less scary. xoxo
My man!!!!! One of the best videos I’ve seen so far. The presser foot trick....heat gun to get out scratches....edge beveled sharpening!!! Daaaayyyymmmmnn !!!!

Awesome video! I love the tips and tricks videos. I’m gearing up to start leather work and really appreciate all that extra help.
I really appreciate your timely and useful hacks and tips! Although I work a full time job, my heart longs for creativity. Since I create several different genres, I forget the basic skills sometimes when starting a new project. I create custom journals, from dyeing and baking my paper to creating a 300-page book. So I’ve made all the book innards and I want to make a leather cover, 1st leather journal 😬. Can’t tell you how many hours I’ve wasted and leather I’ve ruined 😡. But I’m not giving up, I keep searching and researching and that’s how I found you. Thank you for stepping up and sharing your talent and your love for it with others. I’m listening …
Fantastic tips, especially burnish/edging & #10 re: scratches. Thank you! 👜👞
Putting out amazing content and has pushed me into leather craft. #handmade #leathercraft
LOVING the new space, man. Watched your videos on it with Peter, and your tour and it makes an epic backdrop :) Keep smashing it.
Love your work. Thanks for sharing your tips. The string for the beveler perfect. But trim allowance is a key tip. Thank you. Cant wait to get some more leather.
I don't leather craft but man its soo satisfying to watch you work. It so awesome to see leather working. Keep it going.
Gracias por todo los que nos compartes. Es una maravilla ver tus videos, por todo que aprendo y sobre todo con el sentimiento que trasmites. Mis mejores deseos para tus proyectos. Saludos desde España.
You convinced me to try leather crafting out. I only bought the leather and the tools you used for tracing and cutting out the leather pieces, just to see if I could do that part lol. I did it pretty dang well and now i'm motivated to go further. Just purchased the rest of the tools to finish the job, hope I can do it. Thanks for all of these videos!
how’s it going now?
Very good tips! I discovered couple of these tips already by myself, but few are new to me, so thanks for that ;) Keep up the good work Ryan!
Man, you are so inspiring! I admire your enthusiasm and devotion. Since I discovered your videos on UA-cam you've been encouraging me to pursue my own leather craft thing. God bless you! Greetings all the way from Bulgaria! :)
Thanks so much!!!
Thanks a million for your tips and the way you share it. Love your workshop.
all I can say is AWESOME! as a beginner I am sometimes overwhelmed and even intimidated with leathercraft. THANK YOU. you got a sub today! :)
Thank you so much!!!!! I’ve learned something amazing. Definitely gonna do the foil hack.
Hi Ryan! You are really a cool man! Your advice to pull out the spring on the sewing machine divided my sewing into before and after. Respect from Ukraine, thank you very much for what you are doing!
Thank you LKG !! This helps a lot
Thank you for sharing these insights ! Sending up some love to you and your family from Brooklyn ! ✌️
Thank you!
Thread zap to melt the wax buildup is genius!
Awesome tips and tricks! As always thanks for the amazing content Ryan! 🇨🇦🤟🏽
Thanks for this mate, for an old bloke starting a new craft, this was a cool insight. Cheers from Australia!
I don't make leather goods but I find your videos so entertaining (and relaxing) to watch. Even this video where I am learning about all the different tools, hacks, and techniques. Keep up the good work!
P.S. The wood burnishing tool is my favorite part of every video for some reason!
Thanks Thomas!
Gracias por todo el aporte de conocimientos que haces, DIOS TE BENDIGA !!!
Could you make a video on sizing your projects? Love your vids man.
Those were truly useful tips - for me anyways!! Thanks so much for sharing - especially sharpening rotary blades - I spend so much money on them, but always save the used blades for paper and pattern cutting - (I make clothing) - now I know I can sharpen them and use them on my leather projects!!!
I like your videos, I am locked down in the UK right now and wanted to learn something new so ordered tools and will be learning by the end of this week virus permitting! Thanks for all the helpful videos.
Thank you SEW MUCH for the spring hack for my Juki!. Had no idea you could do that to reduce the pressure, but will take mine out in the morning! It’s been driving me crazy! I already filed down the bottoms of my pressure feet with a Dremel which helped too.
I made a 'saddlebag' (about 16" x 8" 4") for use on an antique bicycle. This would get rough use over the years so I used slight bits of epoxy to lock the stitching in hidden areas. Several spots along long lengths of stitching and on stitching of straps and buckles. In case the stitching gets nicked or cut, the stitching won't all pull out.
Thanks for the heat sealing of the waxed thread to lock the ends.
We love this growth. Love this channel
Thanks for the support Susie!!
Thanks for another great video. Love your workshop.
These are all great tips! I don't have any tips, but I would really enjoy seeing a video about what you do with your leather scraps. In sewing, it's easy to avoid fabric waste and fabric scraps can be used in so many different ways, so I'm curious to know how leather scraps can be repurposed or recycled.
Thank you so much for helping us with theses important tips, tricks and hacks 😅 , hope you have all the best 🌸🌸
Hi Ryan! Thank you for all your tips and tricks!! I've picked up so much from watching your videos. And thanks for the two free months of skillshare. I just signed up!!
You are an inspiration! Keep going! ✌️
Your videos are so easy to watch and helpful!
Thanks Ryan for good tips! Signed up for Skillshare too.
Great video as usual.. Big fan from Egypt and just starting in leather handcraft
Damn! I was really wondering how the hell to sharpen my edge beveler!
About to get my first leather and tool and learn how to do this jazz.
I use a tobacco filters for coloring edges of my leatherworks, it's very simple and comfortable :)
Before watching this video I wondered if there was anything new or useful here. Uh... yeah! Thanks for all the great tips!
Haha yay!
Priceless, thank you.
Thank you. I learn so much from your videos..
Love this video man
Finally got an update. Thanks
I bought a corner punch which is smaller than I wanted so I exclusively use the cutting method for nice rounded corners.
Trim allowance is so good. Thank you so much for the tip.
Fantastic video. Dull edge bevellers have been a consistent difficulty for me; the string trick is just genius! Thanks so much! Once you get your cheesy intro/outro thing sorted your channel will easily be one of the best! 😁👍
Thnx!! Great tips!! Regarding marking of leather by pressor foot or feed dogs: my machine (inexpensive one) came with really sharp teeth that were tearing the leather up. So, I ground the teeth down and then coated the nubs with epoxy to get a smooth surface. Worked great. Don’t understand why they would supply such horrible feet/dogs but, stuff happens, hacks to the rescue.
Thanks for the video! Lots of great tips for details I might have missed if you hadn't highlighted them.
Great video as always, thanks!
Nice video! Love all the useful tips & tricks.
OmG!! The edge beveler one got me! I have to keep buying new ones cause no one knows how to sharpen them.. thanks for that !
Thank you for all the small and important notes and tips on using leather tools. Greetings to you from Syria, from Damascus. I am interested in the videos you make and I can learn from you from a distance. Thank you and I will subscribe to your channel.
Thank you so much, the tricks you gave us are just amazing !!!
Thanks!!
Loved #9 figured it out about 6 months ago. Dye for edging is brilliant
LKG droppin' knowledge babyyyy
Thanks for the tips, appreciate you sharing.
Great video, thanks for the trick about the corners. I got my corner punch but I can never get to cut straight, it always flares out as I punch it down; maybe cuz of the thickness of the leather. I've got a new back up plan now!
Great tips. Thank you.
Wow….. priceless ! Thank you thank you, for the time and effort you put in these videos. God bless u brother and gives prosperity in every way ! I mean it.
Nice one nice, thanks for the tips. Am a beginner and i appreciate your advice. Thanks
For the pressure foot - it pays to sand off the very sharp edges. I did this to mine and it also made a big difference. Spring tension reduction and sanding the edges is the trick to preventing marks on the leather.
Everytime I feel like im not getting anywhere i watch this guys videos and I get perked up.
Here ive been folding sandpaper in half with rouge and fighting to hone my edge bevelers . Works but cant wait to try string to hone them. Thanks
Excellent tips! Thanks!
Thank you :) great tips 🦾
Tks LKG, very helpful
Agreed with all of these but didn’t think about the thread zapper. Speed reducer is critical, especially for learning, but even as a pro. +1 for Smiths.
Thanks alot for the tips!
i love the way you sharing
Good tips. Thanks for sharing!
Haha now I know what that piece leather is for that came with the kit 🤪I can also use this on my wood chisels. Thank you. I love all you guys that post these DIY videos. You all have made the Pandemic just a little, no A LOT!!! More bearable.
Must add this. I just saw this thread burner in an art store. Guess what I'm buying tomorrow 😁
Super awesome video. Itd be great to have more like this one
Thanks for sharing🙏🏿 I came up with a hack for the foil, too. I heat a cast iron skill with maybe a 1/2 inch border. I set my stamp(s) on it and heat the stamp(s) up, then pick up the stamp handle with a mitten and press into the foil. Still trying to perfect the process, though. It doesn’t always come out neat and clean.
Michael from Massachusetts here.. Love your work, AND that awesome baseball cap ; )
Thanks a lot man. Love your channel)))
You are one cool cat bro!! such a nice man, thanks for your video and sharing your knowledge bro !!!
Have been doing leatherwork off and on since 1969.....Still have all my original tools, plus a gazillion more I've collected over the years depending on what new projects I work on....Never knew anything like the Thread Zap existed.....Now I know.....Am ordering one today.... ;o) Thanks!
Really a pro....
Thanks .
It's an inspiration.
Great work!
Great stuff!
Your videos are the best 👍
Such awesome videos Ryan ! You are truly an inspiring person to watch and listen to. You are opening things up for people to see and try new things. Awesome work ! Can you tell me where you got your 'shoe hammer' I guess its called. Didn't see it in the links.
Dude yes! I always burnish with dye alone!
thank you for sharing!
I never thought about sharpening my rotary blades! That’s going to save me a ton of $$! Thank you!
Glad to help
I'm just getting into the craft and rounded corners have been giving me a problem. Thanks for the tip!
Before I got myself some I would use worn out hole saws. Use a bench grinder to knock off the teeth, mark out the radius you want grind a step in and then put an edge on it. Works alright
@@lukeaugustini7866 That's a great idea. The teeth don't cause lines in the edge at all?
Jeremy Kinnear nope I grind all the teeth off and a step in to it and then grind the radius to a sharp edge. Best of all you can get a large bolt that’ll screw in to the holesaw and you have a handle and something to punch
You're the best! Loves you from Russia
Awesome Hacks, Lovely.
Love the input on the gold foil! What brand foil do you use & where can I get some!? Thanks!
Senang ketemu channel yutub ini 😍
