  • In this video I show you how to make a simple leather keyring. I show the different ways to cut out the leather shapes and how to make more money when selling keyrings. I talk about embossing patterns onto leather and how to fit simple hardware, such as key rings and snap fasteners. I then go on to talk about the value of personalising keyrings to make even more money when selling them.

    Hello! I have just found you and have subscribed. Excellent video's and you have inspired me to have a go at making some embossed ( just watched your Embossing Leather video ) key rings. I have used the links for the keyring cutting dies etc, but can you please tell me what sort of fastenings you use, and what size and where I can buy them. Thank you so much. Stay safe!

    • @HobbyBloxs

      @@HobbyBloxs Hello again Geordie. Thank you very much for your quick reply. I did not explain very well sorry, I had the link in Amazon for the Snap fasteners, I meant the actual pieces that you attach the keys too they look similar to parrot clasps in Jewellery . so the bit you actually attach the keys too and on the other end where you attach it to either your belts or bags. sorry i'm not sure what they are called. Thank you again. :)

    Just getting into leatherwork. I love it!! Just came across your amazing channel. Thankyou 🙂 you explain things so well. One quick question that I hope you can help with? I have an Ivan strap cutter. I have some Italian butt leather that I am trying to cut into straps, but the strap cutter is moving from what i have set the measurement to, as I pull the blade towards me 😖😖 Is this a faulty strap cutter? Is there a way round this? I know this isnt the right video for this, but I thought you may know the answer.
    Take care,
    Miriam

    • @HobbyBloxs
      @HobbyBloxs  4 роки тому +1

      Hello. This is a common problem with strap cutters. You need to tighten the thumb turn knob with a pair of pliers to get it to stay put when cutting straps. I hope this helps.

    Hi, I want to apologize in advance for what may be a lengthy comment, but it's to express why you've become essential. I've been machining for over 28 yrs and have my own home machine shop. From time to time I get commissioned projects, though I'm not financially reliant on commissioned pieces, it does help if and when I'm in a pinch. Since the covid-19 hit, all of my commissions have quickly dried up, understandably so, but I had nothing to do. My wife being an essential employee for Department of corrections administrations, in my state, she's the only one of both of us working. One can only do so much home projects from the "Honey do" list. In looking up how tooth picks are made, here on UA-cam, (don't laugh, I had nothing to do), I some how ran into leather crafts videos. I binge watched: Low Tide leather, Little King Goods then DieselPunk.ro, which Tony, from the latter channel, had free patterns for leather stitching, I had scrap leather and made a few of his face masks and a few miniature plague doctor's key FOB's. Getting my beak wet in the most basic of leather crafts via stitching, first. Then I saw video's on holsters for Leatherman Multi-tools and thought I'd tried my hand at that. Geordie. Something went amok. Everything went horribly wrong. I'll admit, I didn't have the correct leather tools, so I did what Little King Goods channel suggested, by a cheap leather crafters tool set, from amazon. Soon as it came in. Geordie. it still went horribly wrong. AGAIN! then i ran into your channel and followed all of your videos, specially burnishing leather. That's where It went all wrong, for me. When i tell you my edges looked like a persian kitten got into a fight with a steel wool pad, and the steel wool pad was winning, I'm underselling it. I also found that I wanted to improve on the tools that were in the kit I bought. I was thoroughly impressed with what was supplied, but most of the tools could've used some improvements. So I improved on them. I will share videos with all of you, of my tool builds for the leather crafts, along with leather projects I've made, just as soon as I learn to edit videos. Ya' know Geordie, I still don't know how toothpicks are made. Again, I apologize for the lengthy comment. Stay safe, friend. And Thank you for the educational videos you share, you do us amateurs a great service, believe me.
