@@andreasL4114 haha. Thought to comment because i got chance.

[@dperisty1]

Wow, great little video, and you sold me on them! What would be some cons for this buckle? Do they slip off more easily, do the holes stretch/wear out more quickly? (Just wondering why more crafters are not using them)

[@Stevieboy7]

Big con is that you need to use pretty darn thick strapping for these to function properly. A lot of the tension is held by the "pressure" that the stacked leather is exerting by being stuffed inside the loop and ontop of the post. If the leather doesn't fully stack to the top of the "post" then there is a big chance of it "unbuckling" and all the pressure is on the holes laterally, leading to stretching. This is the main reason it's used in tack, where 12-14oz leather is the norm. They're also pretty specialized and you can make a very similar "tail-less loop" with a regular buckle.

@@Stevieboy7 man thanks for the reply!

[@reichMK23]

I use them for rifle slings for that reason you mentions. Keeps everything clean.

[@jenniferwhite6089]

[@davidarcularius9539]

Could you do a review of your Juki sewing machine.

[@soladeos]

did this on my backpack 10yrs ago

[@fordfan3179]

Do you have a good source for solid brass buckles and hardware? I built a range box for my muzzleloader. I'd like to add some leather straps. The brass is a critical safety feature. It eliminates the chance of a spark around black powder.

[@whitandpark]

All my hardware comes from bit.ly/35UW3nB

[@NMiller_]

Yeah, that's awesome! I've seen conway buckles in product listings before, but never really saw one being used. I think you have me sold on them though.

[@milesty9451]

Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my gf these days =)

[@anakindean6434]

[@sewingmachines6369]

[@jimathey6153]

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, U R absolutely correct, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@danieldekock4911]

Parker, or anyone who can answer this question. What kind of cutting surface is on you workbench, and where can I find something like it?

[@tomkilcullen5421]

Don't know how the younger generation will like them. Convince is a big thing with your generation. Glad you're dabbling in different approaches. You're a good man Parker,don't weaken. Blessings on you and yours.

[@darringauthier5568]

Hay I thought you were sending me that bag lol I just watched your video on the techsaw 2750 Found a used one. Still a lot of money but it’s nice to see the options out there, Thanks

[@paulj3653]

Hey Parker, nice video. Can I ask, what thickness sewing thread are you using for this bag?

[@MuseLeathercraft]

Thanks Parker, man! Your videos are clear, instructive and FUN! G

[@thomasbeckett1245]

I love ❤️ that kind of buckle.. mostly I see them on halters and saddle accessories, they are very neato. Small ones would be handy with key fobs, and that kind of thing, .

[@outfitr9703]

Glad you like them. I've got a whole bucket of them from my horse packing tack. Changed them all out for regular buckles.

[@williampierce5579]

I actually just made my first rolltop backpack and made the flap closure with those!

[@grahamrichards193]

Never seen them before, but I love that it doesn’t require Chicago screws or rivets. Thanks for sharing.

[@mikecurtis2585]

Good information. Thanks 😊!!

[@kristymelgoza6380]

I really love all your videos. I love that you are willing to share so much about what you do and how you do it, with all the tips and reviews. You both do such a great job with the videos. Thank you!

[@vloggaman1028de]

Needed this guide!!! Thank you!

[@fordfan3179]

Awesome!
