You’re awesome Chuck. Seriously. You’re funny, experienced and insanely helpful. You try so hard to break it down for every type of person, and that’s pretty cool.
I have honestly never wanted to lace anything before, but your enthusiasm and passion for your craft is infectious, and now I want to lace EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!
Once again Chuck comes through with yet another stunning idea and makes it look super easy. The absolute best instructor I've seen yet on UA-cam! Thanks Chuck, your videos make my day!
Hi Chuck, I really loved this video, but all of your videos are great... I have been watching your videos for 2 years now and I can never wait to see the next ones. You have busy this year and not on camera as much... we miss you and send you the best of regards!, stay well and keep the videos coming! Cheers from Texas !!!
I have watched so many videos on this technique and always ended up ripping out my work because it never looked right. Thank you so much for finally showing a comprehensive way to do this stitching. And the great ideas for decorative work! I would have never thought about changing up the spacing on the lacing holes withing an actual stitch process. Love this! Well, all your videos actually.
Chuck, exelent vid. To keep lace face up try this; pull the needle through but before you release it grab the lace close to the needle between your ring and pinkie fingers. Then use thumb and forefinger to pull the lace through and just grab the needle back from your pinkie still right side up. On the back side, before you pull it through, run your fingers down the lace untill you hit the middle of the loop. Bring your hand back and use two fingers to guide the lace through flat. I know that seems complicated, but you'll get it and it really isn't slower because you don't spend time straightening your lace.
Watched your video, tried the braid yesterday on a practice piece of leather and it came out wonderful. I see endless possibilities. Thanks, Chuck. As always, love your videos and love Weaver Leathercraft.
Would like to see some tips and tricks to working in a small space?? Little ways to maybe stay more organized and efficient. I'm working out of totes of my dinner table. Looks like a leather bomb zone. Thank you Chuck and everyone here for any help you can provide.
i tend to use a pernalok needle for all my lacing, i will have to give this weave a try with it and see how it holds up, thanks for the informative videos
Hi Kathy, Yes, they are in stock, we'll link them below for you! www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65730-150/perma-lok-lacing-needle-small/pr_63660
Grand video Chuck! Well explained. Really looking forward to the new needles. I do a fair amount of lacing for me customers and these needles are just no helpful. The two teeth don't grab well and to 'feed' the need is a pain when one has bear paws! I don't order from the USA, as posting cost can be high. For solid lacing needles, I will!
Chuck, I would really, really like to see a spanish basket weave (if that is the right name) with three threads, No one can be so pedagogical as you. I´m about to make a bag and it would be nice to have three lacing threads hanging out from the weaves end. And thanks for sharing your knowledge (I sure wish I could visit your store but it is on the other side of the Atlantic :-) )
Hello to the other side of the pond! Pretty cool idea! I’m not sure how to do the Spanish Basket Weave with three strands, but, you can just add another strand (knotted or laced underneath) coming out of the last hole/holes and then braid that. It should be pretty secure and no one would see that you have two for the braid and a third stepping in to braid further.
Hi there! The feather is tooled, carved and then painted. We have a tutorial on a larger feather here: ua-cam.com/video/Ouxo-fRjM24/v-deo.html You can use this same concept to create a smaller feather as well. Download the large free feather template here: weaverleathersupply.com/docs/default-source/project-templates/feather-template.pdf
Great video explaining this. I heard you say that the hole spacing is 3 times the width of the lace. What is the rule of thumb for the hole diameter for the lace?
Hi Ted, I tend to go with the size of the lace for the hole, but, it’s really up to you. A bit large isn’t an issue but the only thing I don’t want is so much hole that you see hole and not lace pattern.
Hi Steve, The perma-lok needles are on our site - you can check them out here: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65730-150/perma-lok-lacing-needle-small/pr_63660
For those old leather needles I clamp on edge to work bench with lace holding end sticking out half way then using a chisel tap gently between not hitting the prongs then using a nail or pick insert deep in between then insert lace , pull out nail and use pliers
Great video but I did have to watch it like 5 times to get confidence. I'm modifying a felt vest with elk, deer, tandy leather natural lace and other Native American decorations. The vest will only have the top half but it's been a work in progress as I don't ever try to draw anything out because when I do, half way into it I change my mind so I just go with my gut. I have an idea of what I'd like and am sticking to that, (wish there was a place I could post a few pictures of the work as I get through each stage. Anyway, thanks for the great video. I used the Spanish braid to secure the back part (and will the front part as well when I get to it) to edge the fringe on the bottom. Looks really nice, yet it's not even done. What I did with the not deer lacing was to soak it in water then dry it off by just a tight thumb forefinger squeeze then ran both sides through mink oil. Loosened it up really nicely so thanks for all the tips. It threaded in nicely but sure would have like to have those new needles. When the lacing drys it tightens up a bit so it makes it look really nice. Problem that I had was that I'm doing scallops on the back. To do this at the bottom point of the scallop I had to go back twice on the "X" to keep things tight and lined up. You don't realize it till you get there. But all in all it looks really great.
Thanks for the video Chuck, another good one. One question about the holes though. You explained about the spacing being 3 times the width of the lace, but how big are the holes? 2 times the lace or does the 3 times also apply?
If you wanted to turn a piece of leather into lace what oz leather would you use. Like a 2-3 oz seems thin but fabric lace is very thin so I was curious if thin might be good to help the leather lay flatter.
Hi There, We would recommend an upholstery leather for something like this, it's tanned specifically for this application and then you can use any type of leather lace for the stitching.
Hi Chuck, I always love watching your videos! They are very clear and interesting. I was wondering if you could make a video about the differences between stitching chisels and pricking irons. I know that some people stitch with an awl and others just punch the leather through with the pricking iron. Are there any differences in strength/final look? I'm new to leather crafting and I don't know which technique is best. Thanks for your work!
Hi Guilia: For what it's worth, I use both Pricking Irons AND Lacing Chisels. The fundamental difference is, the lacing chisel gives you straight "slits" , just like a chisel would cut if you drove it through a piece of leather. The Pricking Iron gives you a row of slightly angled "diamond" shaped holes for your needles to pass through. I HAVE (in a pinch) stitched with a lacing chisel when I was using Artificial sinew. Artificial sinew is much heavier than regular thread, so it passes through the chisel holes much more easily. I don't recommend doing it, but it WILL work in an emergency. I'm an 18th. and 19th. century knife maker and I use lacing and sinew a lot on my PC (period correct) knife sheathes. I hope this helps somewhat? I'm certainly NOT a leather craftsman or artist, but I've been at it for 50+ years. God bless: Dave
@@Stoney327 thank you! Yes, it is helpful! I still have doubts about the strength and the final look of the two methods but I really appreciate you answer!
@@giuliapalmerini7499 Hello I'm glad I was able to help. In regard to your comment. I (personally) believe that lacing is more decorative than structural, whereas stitching is VERY strong and somewhat attractive (in certain cases), but again, more for structural integrity than looks. I lock everything in place with a good glue to hold things together until I can stitch. Again...just a suggestion, NOT a "how to." What you do is up to you. My methods work best for me and my customers, maybe not for you? God bless: Dave PS: Sorry about spelling your name wrong, I just realized I did it. :+((((
We’ll do that! For now, all I can say is go with a Chisel. The Sewing Awl is a tough tool to use unless you pre-punch the holes, which, defeats the purpose and it’s really hard on the hand. The sewing chisels are easy to punch, they make a good hole (but not too big) and the needles slide right through making it very easy to sew long distances without fatiguing your hands.
Yes, they are! We'll link them here: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65730-150/perma-lok-lacing-needle-small/pr_63660/cp_/shop-now/hand-tools/hand-stitching-lacing/needles-awls-chisels
Hi Chuck, great video. I am new to leatherwork so I am gaining confidence watching your videos. I have got the braid worked out now but I have 2 questions. First is can I use a lacing chisel to do this braid? Second is how do you splice in braid if you are doing a long item like a belt? Thanks for the excellent videos. David
Hi Chuck, I have a question for you. I was wondering if it's possible to make a usable cup out of leather? And if so what would you seal it with so it was safe to drink out of? I only ask because I have an idea for a leather beer stien. And wanted to make it usable instead of a decorative piece.
Hi Mark, Yes, you can drink out of a stein or “Jack” and if you use food-grade paraffin it will seal it nicely. I’ve seen it done a lot (Renn Fairs usually) but I haven’t tried it myself so look on UA-cam for a “Drinking Jack” or “Leather Mug” and I think you’ll find some good info. I’ve always wanted to try this so let me know how it goes and good luck with it!
Thank you sir. I appreciate the help. It's nice to have someone knowledgeable to ask for help. I don't think I would be anywhere close to the level I am with my leather work without your informative videos. But I will definitely let you know how it turns out.

Hello I am working on a project where I am making a hair on cowhide purse and want to hand stitch the seams (sides) together using the Spanish basket weave is this possible any tips would be appreciated.
I guess you will inform us all with a new video when Leather Element comes up with "the new lacing needle". I'm about to go nuts with my old ones. It hurts my left thumb nail when I'm trying to connect the lace to the needle. When I use a round thread (2 mm) I use a needle with an inner thread (what, in english it is the same word for "wire", "thread" - confusing for a swede :-) but thank you google translate) but during the sewing process the leather thread come loose now and then. Very annoying.hnnnnnjnbmmmm (ooops, regards from my cat) But, next question: will it be possible for me, living in Sweden, to buy just some of these needles, meaning you have to send them over the pond? Or would the order be to small for you to even bother?
Hi Jonny, We will definitely let you know when the new needles are in stock! We don't require a minimum order, so, yes you can order just the needles and we can ship them your way!
everywhere i look no one makes instructional videos in the quality that you do, and the problem with that is i also cant find a single video with a decent instruction on how to make a hooded cloak made of leather that can actual be used in all weather types. found a few cosplay but none for actual use in bad weather. any chance u can make a video on how to do this please and thank you for your time and understanding. p.s. if you do make a video on this please make a it a project video for instruction on how to do this.
Anyone ever used a "Lok-Eye Needle" for lacing? I can't find it in sweden. Found it on Tandy Leather (sorry for that :-) ). But I can't find out how it works. And yes, I'm waiting for Weaver Leathercrafts needle that Chuck mentioned. But I'm still curious on that Lok-Eye-thing... I have a hard time getting the lace to connect to my 2-prong needle, actually, I hate those needles. (For your information; a 10 pak of these Lok-Eye cost 4$ and shipping (plus tax) to sweden will cost 14$. So, don't move to Sweden :-) )

But, next question: will it be possible for me, living in Sweden, to buy just some of these needles, meaning you have to send them over the pond? Or would the order be to small for you to even bother?
Hi Jonny,
We will definitely let you know when the new needles are in stock! We don't require a minimum order, so, yes you can order just the needles and we can ship them your way!
I with both sides would look nice
so good
everywhere i look no one makes instructional videos in the quality that you do, and the problem with that is i also cant find a single video with a decent instruction on how to make a hooded cloak made of leather that can actual be used in all weather types. found a few cosplay but none for actual use in bad weather. any chance u can make a video on how to do this please and thank you for your time and understanding. p.s. if you do make a video on this please make a it a project video for instruction on how to do this.
I would love to do a video on a hooded cloak! I’ll put that on the idea board and we’ll see if we can pull one together for you!
I second this idea. I saw the cloak you had with the leather armor video, loved it. we need a video on how to make one.

Awesome n Beautiful
Anyone ever used a "Lok-Eye Needle" for lacing? I can't find it in sweden. Found it on Tandy Leather (sorry for that :-) ). But I can't find out how it works. And yes, I'm waiting for Weaver Leathercrafts needle that Chuck mentioned. But I'm still curious on that Lok-Eye-thing...
I have a hard time getting the lace to connect to my 2-prong needle, actually, I hate those needles. (For your information; a 10 pak of these Lok-Eye cost 4$ and shipping (plus tax) to sweden will cost 14$. So, don't move to Sweden :-) )
👌
Again you simplify things... I seen some single needle this causing much more distance to pull.. made no sense... 🍻
WY too fast.. Waste of time
