Hi! Why did you skip every other hole?
@WillHodges Сағат бұрын
Because I don’t have a longer pricking iron and you don’t need a very close stitch for this

Hey you can use an awl to pierce through the leather first, lay the whole wallet on a cork board or punching board, use an awl to piece 90 degree perpendicular from top view. Pierce all the holes before stitching. I normally do that if i am working with leather over 5mm thickness. It prevents you ruining the whole thing

Yes, it’s more common in Asia to do it this way. You’re essentially using a single tooth pricking iron at that point

A few days ago I found a bag that was almost the same design as my dream bag, but the price blew my mind. I have a soul resonance with kislux . It taught me that beauty doesnât have to be expensive, it just has to be right.

Hi can i have a question? If you have the padding inside , and you cut the main leather to the correct dimension. When you use the bone folder to stuck/form the strap. Is that the strap size will be a bit smaller in width? In stead you can cut the lining leather correct to the dimension first, later, you trim the main leather following the linging, so the strap size will be more correct. I hope i explain well.
@WillHodges 7 сағат бұрын
Yes you’re right if the padding is too thick, if it’s approx 1mm padding you shouldn’t notice any issues

Can you share your exact process of punching both sides to get a clean saddle stitch? Are you mostly using french style? I feel like using the Japanese style irons would be easier to work with - haven't tried this tho as I only have the French style 3.38mm spacing.. and also.. do you have a different method for joining 2 to 4 layers of leather and still get both sides to look good...

Casting. Adding this knot strengthens the stitch line from unraveling. If by any chance a thread breaks. You can simply melt it to stop it unraveling while you are out and about. Works really well on edc or outdoor gear.

Is the bonded leather more durable than normal veg tan leather? I have some scrap veg tan that I was thinking about using for a backing instead of using a bonded leather like salpa, since I already have the thin veg tan in stock.
@WillHodges 2 күн бұрын
Bonded leather is more durable but also veg tan is more flexible. Bonded leather is less flexible so it depends what you’re going for

Love the video and the music choice. I recently subscribed and I am a newbie to leather crafting. I would love to see a video on what size thread to use for different size pricking irons and is there a recommended thread size for wallets vs handbags. Perhaps it is dependent on leather weight?
@bdubbsmark 4 күн бұрын
I am also an amateur, so take this with a grain of salt. In the two years or so that I have been doing this, I find that for smaller projects and thinner material, a likewise thinner thread should be used. However, in the right situation, I have found that the contrast of a thicker thread is a good design choice. While almost always, I have found that for nearly all larger bags, thicker thread is best. Also, it never hurts to consult with the professional at your local leather shop.

Electric creasers are ridiculously expensive in Oz. However, a good quality soldering station is about 10 to 15% of the price of the head unit. I rewired the plug of a handset so I can plug it into the soldering station. Truckloads saved.😊

Hahaha that would burn the edge paint to a crisp 😁
@sheilbwright7649 4 күн бұрын
@WillHodges I am talking about a soldering station not a soldering iron. So, actually, they have digital heat controls that have the same temperature range as electric creasers. The head units are doing exactly the same thing, heating an element to a precise temperature and holding the element at that temperature. Whilst the outsiders look very different, the inside does the same thing. The reason for the huge price differential is twofold one is a niche market, and the other has huge economies of scale.

Thanks for this! Do you use reverse irons to avoid that inevitable X? I use them sometimes, but find there's still a difference in appearance between front and back, which I guess is a result of the entry/exit of the awl.

It was Alran sully 1.4mm. Because bonded leather is stiffer which I wanted, and I want to line it all within the same original thickness so I had to skive it down
