#LeatherCrafting #FirefighterLeather #HowTo
So glad you made this video actually! I’m working on building my own Firefighter leather business, and hand stitching radio straps has been the bane of my existence! Glad to know that I’m not taking a super long amount of time to do mine… Would be thrilled if you replied with any tips
Glad I could help! I would lay out the strap and punch all the Hime’s out first. Then stitch only half at a time. Less thread. That saves some time. Use stitching irons that are like 5 SPI. Less stitches = less time. Watch my video on how to saddle stitch. 🤌. I bid you good providence my friend.
At 3mm hole spacing, using a Vergez Blanchard #9 pricking iron, my saddle stitching is about 25 inches per hour after the holes are pricked and pierced through with an awl. Faster if my thread is shorter (one arm span) but longer if my thread is longer (several arm spans).
Wow. I’m sure it looks super clean. That’s close to 8-10 SPI isn’t it? Also, what size thread are you using with that spacing?
It's really the holes to make a difference. Like you see everyone selling stuff with a lot of big holes in them and big holes are really easy and really fast to sew through. Big holes take very little skill. Nice tight holes take a lot of skill.
Right on. Thanks for the input. I like the 5 SPI myself paired with the .8 mm thread. 👌🏼
Have you tried the Renia black dye? Supposedly has little to no runoff.
🤔 never have. I’m finding good results with the Acrylic Resolene. 👍
love that at the start got a new sub here love leather work
Awesome, thank you! Glad you liked it.
Very helpful
Glad to hear that
I keep my thread in a ziplock bag too bro.
Right on
What are you stitching together? It looks like an unlined strap?
It’s a lined firefighter radio strap
@@SofieldLeather great. What is the lining?
I use 4-5 oz natural veg tan. Works great. 👍
Yes I also put my 🐅 thread in plastic zip-loc bags, then into a plastic tub with lid per thread size .06, .08 & 1.0 I do this because the wax is like a magnet for 🐕🦺 hair 🤦♂
Ahhh. 🤌🤌🤌🤌. Great minds think alike. Thank you for sharing. And thank you for all your support. 👋🏼
"Why does it cost that much?" Because just the stitching took 3hr, and at $25/hr that's already $75 (just for labor).
Exactly. 👌🏼
Who could survive on $25 an hour shop rate? That strap should be $300.00
True, but this is just a side hustle that’s great for my boys. 👌🏼
$25/hr was just a "for instance" rate, which is lowball already, but makes the point when people ask why the price isn't the $30 they see a cheap piece of genuine leather belt from a store.
This is true. Thanks for sharing. I try to stick around the $30/hr rate myself. 👍
Three hours sewing on a belt, you will not be able to sell it for enough to compensate your time. None of my business how anyone wants to run their business, but this is a prime example of why you need machines. For the crafter giving away stuff to friends, no, they don't need it. ANYONE wanting to run a business to make money, hand sewing these are a sure way to being broke. Makes about as much sense as hand stitching totes.
You can make 10 belts a week. Someone with a machine can make 20 belts in a day.
Good points but not totally manageable for a particle business. Thanks for watching.
