the speeding up parts of the video really helped understand how to execute the tips
Doing repairs on an old car. Several places on the convertible top have rotted out thread. I intend to replace stitching new thread a section at a time to follow original holes & manage consistent tension. Haven't done these type projects in a while so I needed guidance to refresh my memory. Watching your video demonstrating techniques & offering tips was very helpful. Thank you for taking your time to make this video & share your knowledge of this fine craftsmanship. Wishing you abundant blessings!
Avoid the knot after back stitching, you're never getting rid of that unsightly bump of thread on the edge now. Just back stitch and and cut the excess close to the leather. You can burn the bits of thread if you a lot left after cutting but be VERY careful doing this.

Plain as day when the edge finishing tip showed it up!
I back stitch then hide my line between layers of veg tanned... poke in excess thread with a dab of contact cemet, wipe immediately and hammer the bump when hammering your stitch ... no brown or black marks on the leather or thread ... CLEAN
If its black thread or leather , sure , burn a black blob on it ... you still got plastic bumps on your stitch line
Thin leather is thinner thread that you back stitch and leave the tail glued between the layers tight to the stitch line , finish with a bone
You can tie and tuck the knot up under the layers…. Kinda like the montrose stitch completion.
Yeah, I'm totally feeling that music bro!
-Poking holes with a paint brush handle as a base is a great way to get a needle through your finger.
-You only need to pierce the thread once when threading a needle.
-Don't even get me started on the way you finished a stitch line!
-Loved your skiving knife though!
Thank you for this useful video
Thank you very much for sharing this
I really like Nutcracker so imma be honest- I gave this video a thumbs up as soon as it started!😍
I was fortunate enough to experience 'Nutcracker' Christmas Eve, 1965, at Lincoln Center - Edward Villella and Patrice McBride...
Kinda wish there were some instructions so we know what you're doing as you do them. How you wrap the thread, how you tie your knot, what grit wetpaper you're using, so on.
grit 200
I agree with koikoi below, that does not give a professional finish. At Hermes when I worked at the Pantin workshop, we always back stitched twice sometimes three times and cut the thread 3mm proud of the hole. Using a round awl dipped in leather glue, the end of the threads were then pushed into the holes to give a clean lasting, secure finish. This was then lightly hammered after to bed the threads.
Hello Paul, from your reply, it is obvious you have some experience with leather working. is there a way I can get in touch with you? maybe we can collaborate on a project? thank you
So many negative comments, I got one love the videos and think you do a great job 👍🏼👍🏼 keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your wisdom 👍🏼👍🏼

Came for the leatherwork. Stayed for the music.
Your video was very informative regardless of the lack of words. My father taught me to pay attention to actions, and your actions are clear and precise. The music you picked was lovely. My orchestra and I played that a while back. It's one of my favorites. I'd enjoy to watch more videos like this.
Agreed…The music is definitely fit for playing along with ones organ….while on ones back.
The music was fine. Stringed instruments are amazing. You should pick the music you like. It's your video. Thanks for sharing
You name the name of the first song? Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy.
Nutcracker the first song
What was the second song? I can't recall its name and it's quite annoying 😞
@@kangoooooooo Camille St-Saens, Danse macabre? Btw, it isn't a song (no lyrics), but a piece.
@@Liopot68 Thanks. And yes, you're right. I should have called it a piece. I'll try to keep that in mind.
Merci pour cette très précise vidéo, simple et bien filmée.
Thank you - great video.
marvellous hand made.
Great tips thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. I appreciate the video.
DUDE - your video is awesome. Quick, precise and to the point. (No pun intended)
Thanks dude!
Thank you for sharing the knowledge, i will use it next time i make another knife sheath.
Thank you. Music was great.
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to work on my first leather project so they're more than welcome
:) You will never please everyone. Be happy.
Thanks for sharing. What type of fabric did you use to finish the edge?
DanniRanx Strange how he liked your comment, but didn't go through the effort to answer your question.
What a phenomenal useful video! Very pleasant to watch as well.
I would like to thank this video for the tip that use a paper as template
The tomb stone sound track hell yeah. It's strange how Val Kilmer didn't win the Oscar for playing Doc holiday. The was Bs .
thanks for this video, can you tell me what kind of cardboard you use?
0.5mm thick cardboard does the trick
Thanks for video . Maybe you can tell what kind of glue you using ?
Hello, Barge contact glue is alright
Thank you, thank you!
Thank you for sharing your skills. Paz
Ok awesome lol!! Thanks!
Here you go ua-cam.com/video/ELSBYbENz2U/v-deo.html
Who knew?!!! 😱👏👏👏 Thank you for sharing. I swear I could smell the leather. You should have leather scented scratch and sniff card Merch. So we can experience "Smell-O-Vision" and smell along while we watch. Btw. I love your music choice. Also a Ballet, Boléro by Maurice Ravel makes me think leather..... 😏
Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate it :)
Why don't you finish the stiching this way but on the inner side? I use do it that way so you can hide the little knot totally :)
Hi what glue did you use for loop ?
Five very useful tips, thank you!
thank you too for your positive feedback!
You're welcome. Thank you for the helpful video.
quelle type de papier tu utilise pour faire les "templates" ?
J'utilise une carte de 0.5mm d'épaisseur
G E N I U S
I’ve been desperate to do leather work for twenty five years but too intimidated so haven’t.
This one video has taught me everything to get confidence to make at least two of my ideas.
Thank you so so much xxx
Thank you for the nice comment. Hope you will enjoy making leather goods!
Bien lo tuyo Tulio!!!
Je me demande quelle est le plus populaire ou utilise des griffes a marker.
1 pour la petite maroquinerie
2 sacs a main
exp birkin ou bien kelly
3 ceintures.
Merci beaucoup
Gracias por sus enseñansas .quiero saber que tinte se pone en borde de las asas
Where are you sourcing your veg tan calf please. I'm looking for a good supplier. Thanks !
Looks like a Vergez Blanchard compass. I have one and it is really TIGHT...hard to adjust the legs. In your experience, do these loosen up over time? Thanks for the video.
Not really, you can try to sand it a little with a fine grit/ polish it a bit and add a little oil
Yep I think I might forget most of what I just saw
what's the name of the song ?
nikonmother thank you
Not much explaining in this video huh? I mean I seen what you were doing "for the most part",but no "why you were doing it?"
Guess I'm too much of a beginner,and like to ask question. Good video though. 👍
What type of leather did you use?
I am using a baby calf veg tanned leather
thank you! really nice tips!
Great vid, Alec. How about a tool roll for your favorite forge tools. With a handle or strap to where over your shoulder. with a couple of buckles...Forged of course.
You can forge stuff right? Lets do a collab. Pls contact me by email info@am-leathercraft.com
what weight is the paperboard used for symmetrical template?
0.5mm
Sir would you like to make a wallet in that amazing green leather
Sure why not!
can't finish a stitch like that if you're gluing the edges tho unfortunately
Really? Can you explain please?
well when you glue the edges, that distance between the stitch and the actual edge (usually ~3mm) will be completely sealed and to do your method would defeat the purpose of the glue by stabbing through it. Instead I usually do a similar method but bring the needles inside and tie a knot there
Sorry totally can, I do it myself I glue all my edges and that's how I finish the stitch. I like this music.
Bloodaxetheirritable
I do to. It makes no difference as all around the holes are still sealed. You could also seal the I side walls of the holes with glue, by glueing after making the holes.
Aye. I force the needle out through the side right through the contact cement bond.
Tip 6: Put some hockey tape over the tip of your thumb before smoothing down hot nylon/poly thread, so you don't end up with a blister on your thumb! ( "...that ain't workin', that's the way you do it!" ~Dire Straits, Money for Nothing) ;)
Great video! But this is the first time I ever had to mute a video to enjoy the content 😅
What type of glue are you using?
Hi what type of glue are you using please
Barge Contact Cement
Your music your work is beautiful
Thank you for sharing
What kind of thread do you use?
A few remarks, please...Best to bevel before burnishing .....instead of water, make a simple solution of 5 parts water, 1 part hide glue...And not to be too picky, instead of old tee shirt, use white canvas...
2.31 minutes.
What liquid you use?
What glue are you using
Hi what glue are you using ?
Barge Contact Cement
That funeral Parlor music is so depressing . Put a glass of serious Kentucky straight neat and a cigar on the table then turn up some Black Sabbath for Us old cool life biker Dudes .
Will think about it, I smoke cigars as well :)
Buffy!!!
Double Like
Nice music video. Thats about it.
Felt like I was at the theatre the entire time…. Had I forgotten something…? Anybody else got wood?
Thank you for this upload. I have recently started to do leather working and for the most part I am self taught. I definitely learned some very good techniques, and quickly subscribed to your channel.
SAME!
Hi Blair, I see you're into leather working. is there a way I can get in touch with you? maybe via e-mail?
👌
wheres a good place to get the type of cardboard at the end?

6. Change/sharpen your blades, so you don't have to make so many passes and risk ruining a piece of leather.
I need to know how to make a genuine snake skin hat band. My hat is a really good quality leather hat. I recently acquired a genuine copper head snake skin that I really want to make into a quality band for my favorite Bullhide leather hat. Do you know how to do this? I don't know how old the snake skin is but it's really dry and I know it's uncured. Thanks for any help you can offer. It would be awesome if you were to do a video on this. Plus I'd send you my hat and snake skin if you want to make a video on this. There's absolutely nothing I can find on the subject. You could even embellish your own style on it. Also how much would it cost? I don't have a lot of money and I'm a Christian heavy metal musician. Thanks. God bless you.
There are videos here on youtube telling you how to cure the snake skin, but if its dried out get some glycerin and rub that into it until it turns soft then roll it up and follow the directions on how to tan it from the beginning of the tanning process.
@@MountainFisher Cool, thanks.
Great tips. Comments would have made it better. Better music next time, or comment and now music.
When did it stop being called Leatherworking?
Kids of today and modern flash labeling
As others said here, Do not do the knot.
Plus I don,t like securing thread onto needle. If U stitch a lot, you will see why.
Ron Dumontier how do you secure the thread another way??
@@deanbriggs5058 Well, U don,t want to secure the thread on the needle because if U keep the thread bent in the same place, it will weaken at that spot. Plus as U stitch U can slide the needle along controlling the length of the thread U pull thru each time. U can tighten the stitches as U go by tugging on the thread by hand.
I,m not real great at explaining verbally. I hope U can understand this. Just ask what part is a problem and I,ll try again.
Good luck.
Ron Dumontier 🤔🤔 I think I get it 🤣
Ron Dumontier thanks for the information 👍🏼👍🏼
His hands are so beautiful
SOME VERBAL INSTRUCTION WOULD BE HELPFUL
Great music choice! Thanks for the tips. I’ve been starting to get interested in leatherwork. Fantastic tips for me to practice and learn.
Home alone music
while i do not agree with some things shown, it is a good video for beginners, except for the music ;)
I like the content but the music has to be changed. 😎
2:23 punched me in the face.
Grrr the bloody music. Why the hell? Only 33 dislikes, probably around 31 thousand people who hit mute quickly.
Haha, not easy to please everyone. Which type of music should I use in the next tutorial?
None.
The leathercraft academy
No music. Explaining as you go is best. To be honest, I wasn't able to really learn anything from this due to you moving to quick or speeding up the video. Usually i can figure it out for myself, but i just found that some of the key steps were not shown clearly enough(I don't mean explained, just not filmed close enough to figure it out. If you dont want to talk you could use detailed diagrams, close up shots or slower speed.
Thanks for the good advices. I will consider them as I always want to improve!!!
I thought the music was a nice touch. Some people’s taste is all in their mouths. Great job on the video.
.
Music straight off Disney's "Fantasia" soundtrack ! Worst 90min of my life !
I just can not focus on the video because of the music
turn it off then
Good video, horrible music!
