I appreciate you taking the time to share how you tread. My daughter and I just started and I was trying to stitch with the way I have with normal sewing and was wondering why that is so difficult. Great work!
Hey Terry. Not sure if you're fishing for video ideas but I've trying to learn about the different types of pricking irons. I've found several different types like Diamond, French, etc. but the use cases for them escape me. Not really sure which one I should go with or even which size and more importantly why. I'm guessing the size is just about maintaining a good relationship between size of your thread, thickness of the leather and amount of wear and tear you expect the seem to endure. I'm going to keep looking it this on my own but I enjoy the way you teach things on your channel. Thanks
Quick, clearly explained, exceptional tips. You are easily my favorite leather artisan anywhere! I'm glad I have my bell on for notifications cause I always learn something. Hope you and yours are sating safe and healthy in these times! Happy Easter!
CHARTERMADE - it’s great, I am trying my hand at leather craft. And it’s through UA-cam channels such as yours that I learn and improve. I have just been given a saddle for a horse to fix. Just a case of re-stitching. The holes are already there it’s just going to do my very best saddle stitch 😊
Hey Sam, the stitching clamp was custom made a couple years back by an artisan in France, his name is Fred Moreau but I believe he stopped making them several years back. It really is a piece of art for me and I do love beautiful tools.
@@CHARTERMADE that's awesome! Bummer he is not making them anymore. I'm thinking of making my own at some point. I'll probably have to do that. Have a wonderful day!
@@SamuelMcCunemusic Do it Sam, you'll enjoy the making and be happy when using it knowing that it's another of your products, but one you'll never part with. Anaco, Anz.
they will be saddlers needles. Saddlers needles have a blunt tip so are used when holes are made before hand with a stitching chisel. Glovers needles have sharp point so used on thin leather (often gloves, hence the name) where the leather needs to be pierced.
@@alexdryden7676 Cloth needles have a sharp tip but darning needles are blunt, same principle. I've been sewing decades, no saddles, yet. Saw a comment about repairing bridals doing a saddle stitch using dental floss as thread. They said, that gear was in service for decades. Plan to start replacing rotted out stitching on a convertible car top tomorrow. That tip came in perfect time. Blessings!
Hi Terrick, I have a questioin about leather thickness, the overseas guys speak about ounces of thickness, but here in South Africa they speak of millimeters of thickness. How do I compare ounces to millimeters? The other thing I would like to ask, what thickness of leather do you recommend for making wallets, also what kind of leather? I have made a couple of wallets now, but the leather is kind of soft, so it is really hard to burnish the edges, I am starting to think I should have went for a veg tan leather? I only started playing with leather craft earlier this year, so I am not the smartest at it
Hi Callie, there will be charts online so google ounce mm chart. Depending on the wallet design it varies but for a design like this I use 1.3mm veg tan. Have fun learning leather crafting, it is very rewarding.
Can i get a little help. Im stitching watch bands and have the .55mm thread you use. What size stitching chisels or pricking irons would i need for this. Appreciate the help
Just a little patience.....yeah, yeah, ...just a little patience.....I've been skiving my thread at night...praying I can get it just right.....just a little patience.....yeah, yeah....
I’m sending over the paternity test that’s already been drawn in a match because you are the father role model I choose ! Thank you for sharing your insights ! Keep creating - your creations are inspiring others ! Even your tools are inspiring creators ! Bless you for that ! ✌️
I know you're very unlikely to see this but I absolutely love your videos, their so informative and satisfying. You inspired me to create a new video, I'm only just starting out so any advice would be massively appreciated.
Hi Terrick, Can you add a video showing pricking iron techniques specially corners (non rounded) and card slot connection, this has been a struggle for me. You videos has always been very informative and useful for me, thanks foe taking the time and making these.
Hello, love your work! Could you please do a video discussing your stitching pony. I've been seeing the angled stitching pony and the straight vertical (which I use). What are the benefits of the angled?
I’ve always loved the smell of aged tobacco leaf and leather. I began tan my hides adding a ‘tea’ of steeped aged tobacco leaf and my normal tanning solution. After drying I case and burnish the grain for that perfect distressed ‘oil’ finish that finishes with that ‘old world’ leather color and smell.
Got it!!!! This is an excellent way by going thru the middle of the thread, twice, then pulling back to make a double knot. Did I get it? Thank you and Blessing to you family and your talents!
Hey Bonnie, I had this one custom made many years ago and I believe the artisan who made no longer makes them. There are really nice ones on the rocky mountain leather supply website though. regards Terrick
Cheers on the compliment but the best way to help a beginner is with projects that are manageable such as this one, if I made one of my fancy briefcases or bags it wouldn’t serve the people Im trying to help with these videos. However, Charlene and I are working on something that will be better for advanced makers and people that want to push further in their craft work.

Thank you! I would love to see your stitching pony as well! Did you make it? It looks to be made of some beautiful hardwood? All the best. -Sam

Thanks for the excellent instructions. Are the John James Needles that you recommend Saddlers Needles or Glovers Needles?
they will be saddlers needles. Saddlers needles have a blunt tip so are used when holes are made before hand with a stitching chisel. Glovers needles have sharp point so used on thin leather (often gloves, hence the name) where the leather needs to be pierced.

One ounce equals 0.4mm.
Always a brilliant video and well explained. A rarity on UA-cam. Hope you both are well in this odd time.
Thank you, I appreciate your compliments. Doing well this side, keep safe
Your stitching looks poor quality.
Thanks a very informative video.
I would like to know more about your stitching pony, it looks like a very nice bit of kit. Did you build it yourself?
Can i get a little help. Im stitching watch bands and have the .55mm thread you use. What size stitching chisels or pricking irons would i need for this. Appreciate the help
Thread skiving! Mind is blown.

What space irons do you use for either small or large projects?
Thanks.

Haha nice. Thanks for sharing :)

Hey Bonnie, I had this one custom made many years ago and I believe the artisan who made no longer makes them. There are really nice ones on the rocky mountain leather supply website though. regards Terrick
Your videos have been a great educational tool. Please keep them coming.
Cheers, thanks for your messages on our videos and Charlene and I will definitely be making more.
Very well explained and worked like a charm! Thank you.

Thank you. That is a much better way to thread a needle than I have been using.
