12:33 if you use a hand brace with this tool you can cut all the way through but it also appears to be misconfigured. Usually the center pivot is in, well, the center. I could be wrong but I believe I see a thumb screw holding the center pivot on the bar, implying that it could be re-oriented to put the center pivot in the center. Albeit, this reduces the maximum diameter washer you can create but usually washers are small. With the cutter that cuts the outside diameter (OD) on one side of the center pivot on the bar and the other cutter positioned to cut the inside diameter whilst attached to the bar on the other side of the pivot, they will balance each other and make for a smoother cut - with a hand brace in a 2-jaw chuck

11:00 what are you doing? See that square taper shank above the center pivot? That goes into a hand brace. This vintage tool (unlike modern versions) is designed to be chucked into a hand brace and that way you can apply immense down-pressure while maintaining the necessary torque to cut the leather. However, the best results are also obtained by using pins to secure the leather outside the cutting diameter so rotational force from the passing cutters does not pull material away from the desired shape. Hand braces are easy to come by and will improve your results along with a sticking board

This is a very helpful video. One way to form the fold in the fabric on the edge of the leather for turning the fabric under, is to lay the piece with the right side if the fabric down in the table, then use a Hera marker (a plastic tool for creasing fabric) to mark the fabric with a crease all around the edge of the piece. Then apply the tape just inside that line so that when the fabric is folded over on the tape, the fold of the fabric will be easy, crisp, and well aligned with the cut edge of the leather.

A very nice demo for leather leashes. I like your work. Superb leash. I always recommend a leather leash for dogs over nylon junk. Very instructive to see how these leashes are made. The shop leashes are overpriced and frustrating to look for. Thank you for a great demo! That was a pro tip you gave us about the multi facet tip. Snip rivet halfway, turn pliers and snip off the rivet. Now you have 4 facets to that rivet which leads to a smoother dome finish, brilliant. 56" or 4.6 ft is not a good size. Standard leashes are 6 ft long and short ones are 4 ft. I would recommend you make a 6 ft standard leash. This is the only type I buy for all dogs, with varying width, and the only type I recommend to dog owners I train. I also only use 1 inch wide leashes for all medium to large dogs as it fits well in the hand, easy to grip, and weight is not heavy for these dogs. For tiny breeds I switch to 5/8" or higher. 1/2" is too narrow and cuts your hand or neck when you swing leash over your neck while jogging. 12:05 - I have never worked with leather so forgive me if this is a stupid question but why don't you lube the hole inside that punching cylinder so it does not get stuck on the rivet stem? Triflow silicone grease is what I would use. It may be that it is slightly damaged inside so slide a round file thingie inside to sand it down. Maybe a piece of metal is lodged there. To dome it without flattening out the bottom tiny dome, use a socket wrench or heavy nut on the other side and let the rivet point be inside the nut hollow so it does not flatten out. The outside of the nut will provide resistance to dome big head easily.

I think you left out a lot about the 2nd class. I just took both courses from March to May. The classes are not as long as what you got. I was disappointed with time allotted for our own. We spent far more time on the shop sale saddle. The advanced course is the same exact thing again except you are left on your own. Dale was not helpful at all in the 2nd course. I ended up leaving it after a week. When it comes to questions outside for the horse world, Dale spends a lot of time talking bad about professional saddles i/e Martin, circle Y. His saddle is all he knows. The 2nd round is not worth it at all.

@OnPointLeatherworks 10 ай бұрын

I didn’t take the second class, only the first class. So my experience with the second class is limited to just watching a person go through the second class while I was in my first. The guy going through the second class seemed to have help when he needed it, but that’s an observers opinion. Also, I took this class three years ago so it’s possible things have changed. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your time there. It’s a big ordeal to go, to then not enjoy it

I stumbled on this method of lining several years ago when making some small purses. I didn't like the loose fabric or the time it takes on the "traditional" lining method. I I used the "cut net" to the edges and skived a leather strip from the same leather as the purse to finish the edge. The results are fabulous! Get lots of compliments on the finished appearance of the interior. Thanks for sharing, as I never thought about making a video on my process. Great job describing the detail. Looks soooo good!

@mavrikmavrik3032 Жыл бұрын

That technique works great (and I use it a lot) but there are limits to how much you can remove on the "bottom" side of the snap. If you countersink the mating portion too much the snap doesn't get a good connection because the leather interferes with it seating properly or it is pushing the snaps apart. Just something to be careful of. Last I checked Sailrite has varied length snaps you can use. I have some longer ones in a bin that I use when necessary.

Sneakers are tough. I think you sew the liner together and sole the quarters together separately. Then sew the liner and quarter face to face and stich around the top opening down past the first eyelet. Then flip for the invisible stitch. Not sure about the back piece. The heel piece seems correct but to thick, and you glue it. Then comes the hard part of lasting. I've screwed up about 3 pair so far. LoL

Thanks for the video. In my experience as a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs of America, anything over 3/4" wide is too wide. The ideal width is 5/8". It fits well in the hand. For larger Dogs like Germany Shepards and larger, then 3/4" is an acceptable option.

@OnPointLeatherworks 2 жыл бұрын

I haven't played around with the width at all. I cut the first one at an inch because it seemed right and then it worked for me. I'll try your suggestions and see what I think! Thank you for the comment

@mjremy2605 8 ай бұрын

Well, you may want a narrow leash for puppies as anything too heavy is hard on their necks, but you are mistaken about the widths. I have had German Shepherds and you ONLY want a 1 inch wide leash as this is easy to grip for strong big dogs. Over time leather stretches and becomes narrower. You do not want less than 1 inch for all medium to large dogs. Maybe 5/8 inch or 3/4" inch for smaller dogs. I think you deal too much with puppies and forget what big dogs are like.
