For the handle I just wrapped it around and cut it slightly oversized. Then trim it down to fit. Some things you're able to measure out, but others you just have to work with it on the fly and adjust the size as you go
@@longsword114 lol that is the difficult thing, for your first month or two. Eventually you get to a point you just grab leather and eyeball everything, it's wild. I don't even keep patterns around now I just throw stuff down and freehand make everything and it turns out good, you'll get there quick
I like to see different takes on doing various types of stitches. Thanks man
Thank you!!
That red stitching came out so good!! 😮
Looks amazing
great tutorial!

How do you measure how much leather you need and cut it? I'm having trouble. Thx for your help!
