- In this video, Jimmy DiResta shows how he made this traditional two stage bellows for a blacksmith. He uses our gorgeous 4 to 5 oz. Hermann Oak® Expedition 1881 Top Grain Leather for the leather bellows. He will also demonstrate how this Blacksmith Bellows will be used.

Fantastic build.
inspiring! great video, love the pace of it, right to the point, excellent narrative. Going to make my own bellows, hope they turn out half as good. Rock on, brother!
OLD LEATHER SMITH here. I believe you did an excellent job considering what you had on hand. The only thing I would change is using upholstery hide, it's stronger, and you don't have 2 piece it. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
😊😊
Super cool.
Dang. When i saw the thumbnail i thought this was gonna be handheld
Not bad for a first shot and it actually works
One thing I might have done differently would have been to use wood strips rather than leather. That is how were rebuilt the four bellows in the shop at Allaire Village.
You are an artiste
Frome algeria
Can I Monday morning Quarterback? It is Monday, after all.
What about pointing the bellows down and drooping the paper over the bellows and starting at the widest part then working your way down the sides to determine the amount of leather needed?
i,ll try
Hey Jimmy...
Do you (or anyone) know of a video or link that actually shows how (or the parts to) a "real bellows" in the traditional context? I have an old one to repair/replace parts on restoration and can't use all the modern plastics, screws, and plywood.
Note...Warning...!!!...PVA...WILL NOT...stand up to cyclic bending over time if this bellow is heavily used with cloth leather in my experience as it tends to delaminate...
Thanks...
Could this be scaled down for a hobbyist or would the design not work as a bellows for a smoker?
id recommend adding a simple treadle pedal so you can pump it up with your legs and feet rather than waste valuable arm energy that can be used for beating steel on the anvil
they are called paddles
Как называется это по русскому?
What's the point in using leather or even wood when you're just going to use modern stainless steel phillips head screws? Edit: Damn, you used plywood then clad it with real wood? Why? This thing is so heavy and cumbersome and pointless. You made a bellows shaped object!
