Beautiful work thank you! Always love watching you work and learn from a Master! If one was to set a name plate on a triple stitched halter, how does one make sure the stitching doesn't unravel when setting the rivet? It's probably simple but any advice would be wonderful
Thank you 🙂 So you would fit the plate through the multiple layers of leather, the outer 2 stitch rows wouldn't be affected by the holes punched so you can fit the plate. I would then seal the threads with some glue or heat (depending on what thread was used). That would be the simplest way. If your stitching does become loose before you attach the plate, you can restitch the central row then. Hope that makes sense. Jo
I have watched a lot of your videos and this series is the best one to me so far. You took your time and really explained and the camera shots just great! Thank you!!!!! I have learned so much from you. Is that an Osbone number 6 edger you use?
Thank you 🙂 really enjoying making this series. The edge tools I have are a number 1 and 6, they are old hoppers ones from Abbey England, I got them about 12 yrs ago. I do also have a Joseph Dixon no3 hollow Edge tool 👍
Hello, if you were going to use the thinner leather I'd suggest using a thin piece of webbing in between the layers for added strength. Hope that helps. Jo
I don’t have a splitter, but I am about to experiment with just folding in half a strip of 1” leather and sewing it down. I would guess this won’t be as strong as a rolled throat with a rope in the middle? Any other reason not to do it this way - not round enough? Not flexible enough?
You can always do a flat throat instead of a rolled one. If your leather thin enough to fold then you may be able to fit a thin filler in and then double layer around the turns for extra strength.
I usually use what leather I have most of. As this isn't an order I'd like to sell it once finished and I think black would be a more popular choice. Jo
@@JHLeather I would like more people who ride to think about using more coloured tack. A little more flash might even be enjoyed by the horses! Unfortunately nearly all the old saddle makers that I know are appalled by the thought of having to buy different colours of leather. Seeing the wide range of colours you use for you collars I thought you might join the vanguard. Changing a mindset is never easy. At the moment I am trying to have parameters set for the usage of the term "Hand Made". I watched a video of someone who used a clicker press, ran some pieces through a bell skiver, sewed them together with a sewing machine and then offered the result for sale as hand made. Compared to what you do, is it right for you to compete under the same label? Sorry for going off topic but as a maker of bespoke leather handbags I fight this issue all the time.
Awesome video. Love watching your work. If you ever are looking for ideas. Saddle repair would be my vote.
Well made instructional video, crisp and clear with useful tips. I don't make these items but the info is universal for most leatherwork. Cheers
Glad it was helpful 🙂
Thank you! My horse broke his throat piece. I wanted to fix it myself. Now I can. Bend Oregon
Thanks Nada
I wish I could send a picture. My rolled throat turned out really good.
That's awesome! Well done 👍👍👍
As always - sooo cool. Thanks!

Hi Jo, what do you do if you don't have a leather splitter? Would sewing together two pieces of 3-4oz leather work?

J.H.Leather awesome. Thanks!
👏👏👏👏👏
bridle* but sometimes i call it that too XD
Always a good show. Would have looked beautiful in a rich Burgundy red though. Why always black? Please, keep up the good work.
