Add LUXURY DETAILS to your Leather Craft Projects

[@gall_blader_works]

Very interesting technique. it's something like a goodyear welt, but for bags. And you're right Eric, it's a great way to bulk up bags that use thinner leather for extra strength.

[@edithconde8084]

Great, wonderful work when is by hand Thank you so much

[@MultiFish]

Congratulations Martina! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@user-mq4qk2ry8l]

Beautiful work as always Eric! I totally appreciate the effort you put into showing us how you approach the craft. I’m going to try this technique in my next project. Thank you!

[@zhinka1]

Perfect timing!!! Just got out of hospital from covid, I need a nice stitching project that I can sit and do!

[@Corter]

Glad you made it out :)

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

It's the little details that makes it beautiful.

[@Lucy-vx9nn]

I fell asleep watching ur videos last night, my whole dream was me sitting there making wallets and purses and what not lol. Pay day needs to hurry up and get here so i can get some tools and start playing around and having fun. Sooo many ideas, sooo impatient..lol

[@junkabella6324]

That sage green leather is glorious!

[@conniecopenhaver120]

Your Double Seam process would make a beautiful finished book-binding edge on a leather "Journal Cover" as well ... Great idea & great handiwork as always! Thank you for sharing your ideas & techniques, as they are both just amaZing!!!

[@norbertom.perrichon6630]

Muy agradecido por tu trabajo y hoy mismo lo pongo en práctica. Un saludo de Argentina.

[@debbiefalconer2756]

[@phillipbayes3408]

U DA BEST LETHA CHANNEL

[@heddaacevedo]

Great binding…thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sydneylmyers]

I appreciate that your stuff is actually handmade and that you don’t use machines. It irks me when leather crafters talk like their stuff is handmade when in reality they use a machine for almost every step of the process.

[@stevethecatcrx1]

It should be okay to use machines for certain tasks. Especially for guys who do alot of production work. Used correctly by a skilled crafter they will only add to the quality of the work. The skills to everything by hand are necessary to understand when machines are okay though.

[@sydneylmyers]

@@stevethecatcrx1 I don't have a problem with using machines. My problem is when they tout their "handmade leather goods" and charge handmade prices, when the products aren't handmade. It's misleading. Even using a machine for one or two tasks like cutting or stitching would be fine. But when they use a machine for cutting, skiving, stitching, sanding, and burnishing, the only thing they're doing by hand is gluing. I personally wouldn't call that a handmade item.

[@moleather9038]

Great to see your still learning 👍

[@inthekitchen8842]

Your work is so amazing. Thank you

[@lissettehurtadoschoel7573]

Beautiful detail! I can’t wait to try this! You’re an amazing craftsman! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍

[@maxxsteele9396]

I love your work. I'm applying the same mindset to programming. Quality, craftsmanship, technique and LURVE!

[@bruceparker5377]

What a neat way to do seams. I'll have to give that a try. You work is always beautiful, even your simple projects.

[@karem9605]

Beautiful, good for briefcase:)

[@MasterworkLeathercraft]

My favorite kind of video, love learning this kind of stuff. Thank you!

[@karinmacdonald6607]

As always - great content! I love that you do fairly complex things with hand sewing! I don’t have nor want a machine and it’s hard finding content that doesn’t use a machine. PS - still looking forward to that Corter Pounder 😊!

[@alenmarin1]

So happy you showed how you made it, i was wondering when you shared the bag on instagram. This detail is amazing!

[@WseemHourani]

Congrats to Martinalea! This project must've taken a lot of time in stitching. Thanks for the video :)

[@jeffreycrossin427]

I'm designing a purse fur my friend and I was thinking about this. Thank you for doing this it helps.

[@paulamos8970]

Thank you very much for this tutorial, I am in the process of trying an idea for a friend and I was struggling to get the right regitity without upping the thickness of leather. I think this will work incredibly well for my project 😃 👍🏻

[@TheGopNik___]

This is so creative and cool, thanks for another lesson 😃

[@Stang94Red]

That was a fantastic tutorial. Thank you for this! Just another tool in the tool bag for later

[@AkopianDIY]

Thanks for the interesting and engaging video.

[@joumana1275]

So helpful, thank you so much!!

[@james2592OldLeatherSmith]

OLD Leather Smith here, you always have an interesting video. The double seam is really a WELT its what is used in shoes 2 strengthen the seam. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@scottstephenson9597]

Really like this!

[@briefcasefullofbacon7291]

Really nice! I'm gonna do something similar I think on my next project. I'm not going to have the binding, but it certainly looks nice!

[@ninacaso3402]

Can you do a video where you also go over thickness of the leather, kind of leather for the project, needle size, and thread size (brands are also helpful too if allowed on KZbin)?

[@jimathey6153]

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, very nice Eric, this Leather Smith is wondering about your Hammer, I use a cobbler's hammer but yours is more compact, is it still available and if where?? I like your seam I have used it in the past but never covered it very good. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

[@Corter]

it's a new hammer we're developing! should be out soon :0

[@lukesteverything627]

That's really helpful, thank you. I wondered how you would bind a right angle corner or very tight curve. Any ideas?

[@cjgrandjean]

Question from a beginner. I am trying to figure when to use glue, and when not to. Does the glue do anything long term? Or is it just to assist while sewing?

[@karinmacdonald6607]

I’m a relative newbie as well - I’m sure I’ll be corrected if wrong lol. My understanding is gluing mostly helps hold things in place to help with punching and stitching. It’ll also help with avoiding gaps between pieces of leather to burnish edges better. Without glue the edges beyond the stitch line can still separate even after burnishing. And I suppose it offers some additional bonding power around the seams, though I’ve made plenty of bags without gluing and they are still going strong - the edges aren’t as “together” as I mentioned earlier. Hope that helps and I wasn’t incorrect in my answer 😊

[@SamuelODonnell]

Hi, the glue’s only purpose is to hold things together. The stitching holds everything together. That’s not to say that a couple coats of contact cement won’t help a bit. 😀 I’ve gotten to where I prefer (other folks will differ) to glue seams, especially where there are multiple layers or tight turns involved. I’m getting more proficient with hand stitching. Though it will be awhile before I part with my machines. I hope my answer is helpful.

[@maryfrederickson2526]

WOW!!!

[@mohammedegyptian2527]

bravo

[@nickybeingnicky]

Thanks this is goinf tobhelp me finish a hat.

[@reggieroon]

Can you please do a video on how to make that style of bag completely, or tell us where to find a pattern for it. It's so beautiful.

[@whereisthebalance5732]

didnt you use to have a multi part video for the camo tote? I cant find it now

[@Darkviramis]

In France we're calling "Montage à l'allemande" your double seam

[@stevechaulk4608]

Do you have a pattern for the bag that is in the beginning of the video?.

[@DavidWilliams-tr9gt]

I heard this referred to as a 'reverse gusset' also.

[@Corter]

that's a good one! it seems it hasn't been properly named haha, lots of good names floating around!

[@rhettdugan6341]

Your stitching chisels look like a newer style. Is that possible or am I just seeing things?

[@ivafertikasari9886]

Bagus banget😍❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻

[@vasilijkuzmin6563]

Хороший урок!👍👍👍

[@federicoalvarez8039]

Would be nice if you sell this pattern! I'd love to build it

[@hughanderson7285]

Double needle?

[@dalebartlett4635]

my understanding is that its called a welt, same principle is a goodyear welt in boot construction

[@CraigPickup]

What is your go to stich size?

[@avantgauche]

why not make the welt wider and skive it down to wrap around the outer seam

[@Corter]

you cold do that for sure, it'd look rad!

[@susulattdisco849]

Welcome to my handmade bag and wallets channel

[@Corter]

yup...that's basically it haha

[@jholden0]

Where did you source the camo leather?

[@jholden0]

I would be indebted to you for life. I am willing to give a finger to know. A single finger 🤘 🤞. Lol

[@mkivy]

way above my skill level. Just starting out. But, with consistency and hard work…maybe just maybe, I’ll make a wallet!

[@stuartmarkman769]

Why do you use the metric system instead of the Imperial system? Many of us are still American born and raised in the old ways.

[@GianlucaBigRomeo]

Can you do a duffle bag

[@pommemelon7026]

Imagine killing innocent animals and wearing part of their corpse around. That would be truly psychopathic.

[@Corter]

Luckily all the leather we use is byproduct of the meat industry :)
