You literally think outside the box! The way your mind uses whatever tool it needs, is like little "ah-ha" moments! I'd bet anything some leather crafters are asking themselves "Why didn't I think of that!" I think working with various materials across multiple vocations, frees the mind from conventional thinking, allowing you to use whatever tools help get the task at hand completed! I really enjoyed this one!
I think he put a whole lotta though inside this box, too. I ready like those veg tan braces and strapping against the darker leather. Maybe you need to patent a 'leather' dado blade.
@@AnnoyedJots We actually already have a specialized tool for cutting a v groove in leather to an exact depth. And it is cheap and easy to use. Similar to a hand plane but has a V gouge in the center.
How fabulously timeless: As charming, practical & delightful now as it would have been for celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Thank you for sharing!
Wahoo ! Beautiful leather wine box. I'm leather worker in France, I watch every videos you post about leather but this one is one of the best you do. Amazing ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Life hack, for (winter) dry hands I take half a box of gelatin (Jell-O brand usually) and mix it well into a cup of warm water and drink it down. Wait 2-3 days if you don't notice some relief do the other half box. I rarely have to do the second half. The collagen works it's way through your body and heals from within. Appreciate yours content.
Antique Roadshow on a spaceship.....😂 Got a visual....busted out laughing! Carrier is GORGEOUS!!! Lucky guy who's getting it! You make it look so easy!
I do hours of hand stitching with leather, and I use the rubber gloves exclusively. They save my hands and give excellent grip while maintain dexterity.
Jimmy, having been a leather worker for over 30 years, all leather bends easier when you case it (get it wet/damp). take a look at wet forming leather, it makes creating custom holders / shapes a lot easier. there is also a tool for cutting straping, you just need a straight edge to start with. hmmm I may have to break out my track saw to create a straight edge in the future...
I was dissappointed when I saw you splitting the leather strip with the weaver machine. You should send it through the planer! 😂 I love every video you make Jimmy. I think the most important lesson you teach every time is your workflow! Thank you for teaching me for the last 9 years! ❤❤
This doesn't happen the first time unless you have a lot of prior learning under Murphy's tutelage. going to school on the prototype allows the creative "Diresta" to express a concept. Nicely done sir!
Maravilloso trabajo de bellísima artesanía, donde se combinan exquisitos materiales con gran maestría e inteligencia. Le transmito mi más sincera felicitación. Greetings from Barcelona, Spain.
So functional and beautiful! Awesome marriage of craft techniques. I loved seeing a festool track saw used to make straps 😂 Also- Leather weight is translatable to inches! 1 ounce is equal to 1/64”. So that 15 ounce weight is just about 1/4” :)
I tried and tried and tried to use a box cutter for leather, for years. then when I got a head knife it was a 100% amazing game changer for me. I understand they aren't for everyone, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss them as something people use just because they think they're supposed to or they're just traditional. they're an amazing knife that can work well if you give them a chance and take the time to learn how to use and sharpen then correctly.
Another new product for the DiResta Shop! This would be a great utility carry-all. Maybe snaps for the internal partitions to allow personal customization. Great box, Jimmy!
Jimmy!!!! I've been following you for years and have learned so much from you, I started with leather working a few years ago and is now becoming my main source of income. I absolutly can't understand the Head Knife. It goes against everything I know about using knives!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I firmly belive that most people that use them only do it because it is trendy. Some might disagree and try to argue but I won't belive them 😅
1/21/24..hey Jommy, that is a beautiful 1/4"thick 'Rose' colored leather (6pk) wine carry box. Love the video format of FF & voice over. Very professional presentation..aa always! Stay safe & warm...& carry on!🍷😊
Looks awesome. You could take a clue from leather instrument bags, like a saxophone gig bag, that uses a sleeve that snaps around the top of the carry straps to keep them together and for carrying comfort.
Great looking carrying case. Always enjoy seeing new techniques used in your videos. Can always use some outside the box thinking, even when making a box. Thanks for sharing!
Great job!! I liked your philosophy, on your leather work, down the line, in the future... making items that are ,Heirloom quality, is only way to go..
Cool and unusual box, Jimmy! If I happen to see it in a thrift shop in 90 years, I will definitely buy it! Love seeing the leather work. It's something I have never tried but have an interest in.
Whenever you are about to use a rivet, you should pause and work backwards to a different method. Lining the insides would be next level too. Fun watching you improve.
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado maestro,un botellero muyyyy original y peculiar, como todo lo que usted hace, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia)👍🤓😜
I only use Barge contact cement. I have tried so many, but I have the exact opposite problem as you. I find it to be the most manageable. Which I hate because the smell is horrible. But I do agree the leather working world is filled with a biased towards doing things the old way and only that way. But in my opinion the Barge contact cement is wayyyyyyy to good not too use. But my next favorite is Renia Aquilm. It is a waster based glue and is similar to PVA. Beautiful piece! And in my opinion the head knife is a great knife for its time. You cannot afford to buy 5 different blades to cut leather in 1800. 1 blade that can do all the very specific tasks needed to make a saddle. Not the best blade for any step but one that will work for every step. But today I feel it is mainly for decoration.
Amazing piece; your leather projects are really interesting stuff whether they get the views or not. That embossing machine for the branding is really slick.
I a huge fan of leather and enjoyed this video immensely. A very handsome carry case and love the two colours my favourite for leather. I’ve subscribed as hope to see more of your projects on UA-cam. Good explanations. Great stuff, loved it.❤
I work with leather a lot. Once I needed a skiing knife and I don’t own one but I do wood working too so I grabbed a chisel and used it. Use what you have. As for stitching holes in thick leather? That’s what a drill press is for. Woodworking tools on leather work well.
You are incredible! Wood, leather, metal etc... just mind blowing at times. I am so impressed by your work. I listen to the Make It podcast and marvel at how much you know about so many things. Thanks!
90 year... on a spaceship! Awesome!!! LOL or it'll end up in the Diresta museum. Cool idea and cool project!!
I like that wine carrier.

Aware and a proud owner of a few. They just aren't as fast, loud, and dangerous as a table saw blade
👍👍👍
smiles, great thought about Antiques Roadshow in the future....

Excellent job on the dividers!
Love it. It looks like a present 🎁
It even looks like a wrapped present!
I appreciate all the nails in the wooden base. It seems like a strong connection.
Wahoo ! Beautiful leather wine box.

I remember the old tool tips videos when Jimmy used to say "don't use the tools like I do"... Hell yeah I would, what a genius
Absolutely amazing project

My childhood Scout Master would love something like this, he liked to drink whiskey during our camping trips
I do hours of hand stitching with leather, and I use the rubber gloves exclusively. They save my hands and give excellent grip while maintain dexterity.
Lovely project. Anyone would be proud of those results.
I love watching you work leather, it inspires me to give it a try.
Sir, you are an amazing builder. designer, engineer. I'm always intrigued watching your videos with the care you take to detail. Bravo!!

I missed the 2 million roll over! Congrats! Love what you’re doing with all these leather projects. This one is thicccc

Wow what an artist and craftsmen you are sir always so inspiring and amazed watching what you do Thanks for always sharing your ideas.
This doesn't happen the first time unless you have a lot of prior learning under Murphy's tutelage. going to school on the prototype allows the creative "Diresta" to express a concept. Nicely done sir!
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship! I love the idea of that for a gift. I love to watch you work with leather. Thanks for sharing your talents
Cutting a piece of leather on a table saw...legend
Its absolutely gorgeous
I love the mentality of "if it works, it ain't stupid"
“If it works, it ain’t stupid.”
True statement, sir.

Interesting to see the package design knowledge applied to a beautiful piece of leather work. New Patreon content is really appreciated.
I’ve been planning a front bag for my Brompton bike. This certainly gives some food for thought.
Always with the crossover techniques. Such a cool project.
I tried and tried and tried to use a box cutter for leather, for years. then when I got a head knife it was a 100% amazing game changer for me.

Great job Jimmy!! I never thought about using wood tools for leather working!! I’ll be making a couple of these for presents !! Thank you!!

Hahah finally some one beside me knows the truth 😂😂😂🙏🏼
Just saw you on this old house making a leather bag. Fantastic
Great teacher! Thanks for sharing your hard earned talents
The leather work I find very cool. I’ve got metal and wood projects for days, but hopefully I’ll find some time too dive into this.
Nicely done Jimmy. Now you can get drunk with even MORE class!! Thank you for sharing.
Jimmy is sober, but as someone who enjoys his wine, I agree with you!
No he filled it with cheap wine. that's WORKING CLASS :)
Gorgeous!! “Classic Jimmy” 😊
I dig this. I learned some things. And I wish more of my own real-time design experiments turned out this polished.
You are a master! I love your work man! very impressive, one of kind. Thank you for sharing.
I really enjoy your leather videos. Thanks, Jimmy! 👍👍👍
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Great craftsmanship

I like steel weights too. I really like the 3,4,5 blocks
I always learn something new watching your videos! Awesome stuff, as usual.
Beautiful work, I love the stich pattern and the contrast between the handle and the body.
Great job!! I liked your philosophy, on your leather work, down the line, in the future... making items that are ,Heirloom quality, is only way to go..
Hello Jimmy beautiful bag beautifully made good job mister

Looks Good Jimmy.
Hi Jimmy. I like this 90 years idea. I guess the little nailheads on the bottom will be missed.
Greetings from Vienna, Christoph
Absolutely amazing work looks beautiful 👍👍
Jimmy, you are inspiration man.
That looks amazing.
Great video, amazed how fast you edited it. Case is beautiful. Mahalo for sharing!

BIG BIG BIG👌 thx for your content❤
Next time i come down im making a new belt to keep my drawers up! Remind me 🤣🤣🤣
Very cool project. It was really interesting seeing you work with the thicker leather. Looks like a bear to work with.
Great job. Love your videos.
I love your leather working videos!
Great work👍👍👍
Fantastic work as ever
A disc of rubber from a bicycle inner-tube is good for pulling a needle through leather & a small disc of leather for pushing it
Here in northern Sweden this is a traditional vessel if made with wood bottom and sides of birchbark instead of leather (yes you can sew birchbark)
You are incredible! Wood, leather, metal etc... just mind blowing at times. I am so impressed by your work. I listen to the Make It podcast and marvel at how much you know about so many things. Thanks!
✊🏼thank you!
