please tell me if I need to grind in the direction of the skin villi or against them

Hey, I know you have links to the tools you use but what type and size of thread are you using in this specific video? Thanks in advance!

It helps to understand the dynamics of the stitch, how the threads interact in the holes. Casting is never “required”, not if you like flat stitches. Nigel Armitage has a multi-part series of videos that take the mystery out of the saddle stitch. They should be required for any serious leather worker.

Love that arbor press set up!

The early clamps where shaped like a hobby horse and you sat on them... so stitching pony.

Hi, I truly enjoyed how well you explained the spacing and the stitching. So I wend on different website and the numbers don’t see to be the same as you explain. Where do you purchase your threads? It will be most helpful…thanks!

Thanks for this. You saved a lot of time for me.

So Beautiful! I love the concept of stitch a name on the leather. I do have a question regarding temper weights. Is medium tempered leather better for wallets?

I always thought that the best camera shot for this would be with an action camera. A great narrative technique. Excellent workmanship. Thank you very much. My only request from you is that you indicate the thread and needle you use as subtitles in the video stream. In short, all the materials used. If this is not a situation that will cause you to waste time. I would also like to point out that the most important part, the stitching part of the leather, should continue without accelerating until this part is absolutely finished. Watching each stitch step to learn the sewing technique Very enjoyable. This video content is instructive enough to be shown as a lesson in handmade leather products training workshops. I hope you have more videos like this. Thanks a lot

Please I am asking you. Can you record and upload the edge polishing process in all its stages, no matter how long the video is, without turning off the video shooting? Thank you. I think it will be a very good video to see how long we need to do for such a perfect edge polishing process.

🤌 crisp 🤌

Thanks for the video. I wish you had used the same color on each of the thread sizes to make the comparison easier.

Can you share what dremel bits do you use for the edge burnishing?

What if you have a wider edge beveler to sharpen?

👏

Noice

😮🙏

It is a great detail to clean the table after each operation. You are a great artist. The fact that you care about your work shows this. And it creates great products. We need more of your training videos. Thanks

But wait, isn’t diamond and Japanese the same thing?

Could you please share the smooth and bright edge polishing steps? Looks great

Its not. Its useful in specific situations

Bravissimo ottimo lavoro complimenti sei un grande artista 👏👏👏👍👍👍

7 years later and this is still one of my favorite build videos.

Price?

Fantastic bag! Absolutely love that grey leather! Where can I get that leather?

Owden 6mm??

I really appreciate the help picking my first pricking irons!

The only size I see noted on most pricking irons are the spacing. Are you able to use multiple thread sizes with the pricking irons? I'm working on my first project and they recommend 0.8mm thread and I wasn't sure what pricking irons I could use.

It's hard to find videos with this quality, going over spacing and threas! Super appreciated!

I need the orco and that Keychain tag😢😮

I love your willingness to help others interested in leather work as a hobby, but if someone couldn’t figure out this workaround on their own and within 20 seconds of thought, which is a very generous time allowance for such a task, they should strap on their helmet and walk to the end of the driveway bc the short bus is waiting to take them to adult Ed classes like every other day

Gorgeous wallet Justin!

Very well done!!!

Well done. I love the patience and attention to detail. - - off topic a little, but was wondering what the background music was? Super relaxing.

Unless you stiched that, it won’t last very long. Glue is good to use to help it stay together. but if i were you, i would stich it.

What are you backing this with? Interested in trying out cork!

Was wondering if you have gone to a 20 watt module or still happy with the 10?

Thanks !

gracias

Muchas gracias por compartir su bonito trabajo.

Ive been looking at getting a clicker press. The thing is you cant tweak and change your dies without buying a whole new set. With this laser, you have unlimited possibilities and youre not spending much more than you would a clicker. The xtool is a no brainer for me.

Excellent video. In my opinion, I prefer 0.55/5mm. It fills the iron hole more. thanks for sharing.

Very nice content !! Btw the "S" letter on the spacing word are upside down lol 🤣

Looks amazing!! Can you please tell me thickness of the leather?

Great job with the edge finishing, although the total of the layers is a little on the thick side. They could have done with skiving down to 0.6-0.8mm so that total thickness was in the 1.4mm-1.6mm range

Beautiful! What type of leather is this?

What size of snaps did you use and where did you purchase them from?

Wow! Is that gold? You just use a hydrologic press to press the gild into leather? Wow .jeeze I kinda dig this more then my Blue Louis Vuitton wallet wow! How much?

Super helpful. I'm new to leather. What about needles? Trying to understand the relationship between holes, needles, & thread. With 4mm pricking + .6mm thread, what type harness needle please?
