So glad it was helpful! Thanks for sharing your note. And wow, new tools are a fun way to start the craft! :) If you ever have questions, always feel free to reach out.
Hi! 😃 In the video we used a 6" x 6" square piece of leather. The standard sample for measuring leather weight is a 1' x 1' square, so if measuring something smaller, or larger, it's helpful to remember to calculate to that standard. For example, our 6" x 6" sample would be 1/4 the size of a 12" x 12" piece (36 square-inches vs 144 square-inches). So when using the scale, just multipled that by 4 to get the standard measure. That way, if one doesn't have or want to cut a piece just for a sample measure, they can use what they have on-hand and calculate if needed. Certainly having a 1' x 1' piece will make meaurements more consistent, though one can still get a relatively accurate measure even with a smaller sample. Hope that helps some!
Hi, the measured sample is a 6"x6" piece of veg tan leather. The standard sample size for weight calculation would be a 12"x12" piece, so just multipled the weight of the 6"x6" by 4 to get the weight in this example.
Literally nothing you showed added up. Really surprised you got positive comments on this. You didn't explain how you went from one unit to another or how you ended up anywhere. You give 5.2 ounces total but the scale shows 3.2 ounces. Seriously?
Another great tutorial.❤
Thank you for this video omg, I'm just starting (waiting for my last few shipments of tools) so thank you!

What are the dimensions of the piece of leather that is weighed?

what's the surface of that piece of leather you have weighed? I mean any piece of leather can weight anything, if you use small or a big sample of it

@@internationalleatherclub ta, thanks. 1 square foot, thats what I thought 😃
