Good to see you back on KZbin bro

[@SofieldLeather]

Thanks brother. I think the plan going forward is to stay consistant here on KZbin. Thanks for hanging around. 👊🏼

[@406Montana]

I've never tried the acrylic on the edges, I'll give it a try. Love your videos pal...thanks

[@SofieldLeather]

Awesome. Yeap. I like it so far. 🤝

[@mikep5336]

Please help me out here; the Dee Ring and Trigger Snap create two different ways to attach the glove strap to you kit, right. Thanks for your work and videos.

[@SofieldLeather]

Yeah. Exactly. 👌🏼. Thanks for watching

[@thallmeister]

Nice video, I am a hobbyist when it comes to leather and after seeing your radio strap video I was curious to see your setup. I have a chunk of granite for my punches and a cheap cutting board and a block of hickory for my holes/rounding punches. I just bought a cutting mat from amazon to make fabric masks with, and it's now been added to my leather use as well and it works great. I guess one difference in what I use to cut straight lines is that I use a 60mm hd rotary cutter up against a straight edge, it makes a really clean edge quickly (I haven't tried it on anything above 8-9oz). Those clicker dies are interesting though, I'm a die maker apprentice currently and that would be a fun project to make. One of my next projects is hopefully a double bit axe sheath, I would be curious to see how you would tackle that if you're up for it. Other than that, I'll be attempting a radio strap for our crane control box so I don't have to share a shop strap with everyone. You have a new subscriber, I'm sure this channel will take off with the effort you're putting in. Good luck.

[@SofieldLeather]

Thanks for watching Tim. I’ve tried that rotary blade. Doesn’t work well with thicker stuff. I haven’t messed with sheaths yet. Maybe sometime in the future. Thanks again for watching

[@SofieldLeather]

One more thing Tim. Thanks again for the great comment. 👊🏼🤝🤝

[@michaelleblanc5032]

What size oblong punch are you using? Really like your content, Thank you for sharing.

[@SofieldLeather]

For my 1-1/2 straps I use a 1-1/2 in oblong. Thanks for watching. 👊🏼

Hello Sofield leather! I really liked this video, I learned a lot about how to take advantage of the tools. I want to start in the leather business, and I would love to get your help.

[@SofieldLeather]

Glad it was helpful!..I am here for you my friend 👊🏼. Check out my member perks. Link in Description. Great resource.🤝. Thanks for watching

[@fireeater1211]

What size stamps do you use?

[@SofieldLeather]

I currently use the 3/4. More space for the suspenders. Plus less painting 😜

[@colinr7504]

been combing through your videos trying to find where you mentioned it but I cant seem to find it again...what size same brown studs are you using?? could of swore you said they were 1/4" in a video and cant find it again. but all im seeing on weaver is MM sizes and on buckle guy theyre weird sizes and not screw backed so id rather not get those anyways. if i was to purchase my pipin punch from buckle guy is it the 3/16" (small) or the 1/4" (large)? trying to purchase everything I need to finally follow through with my strap and holster blue print purchase.

[@SofieldLeather]

It’s under the firefighter leather hardware video. But it’s the 7mm. They stopped making the 1/4 in. The 7mm is what I use now. 👍

[@colinr7504]

@@SofieldLeather thanks alot for the quick reply...*ahem* while i have you 🤣.. thoughts on using "Newbury leather, Crazy horse" trying to save a little by using a cheaper leather 160$ a side opposed to 200something for the same nice quality leather you use.

[@SofieldLeather]

Never tried those either. I’m sure it’ll look sharp. Don’t know about the stamping and painting it though. Worth a shot

[@kboleather]

How to antique brass hardware link didn't show up and I couldn't find it on your playlist. 😔

[@SofieldLeather]

Hold up...Something happened all my videos..They went private when i was doing some house cleaning.Im going through them now..Sorry about that. Give me 5 min

[@SLaYziizBacK]

Quick question, do you use 3mm or 4mm stitching forks when setting your holes?

[@SofieldLeather]

I use the 5.4 mm Spacing

[@williamsesack5313]

Love your videos. What size letter stamps do you use? 3/4” or 1”

[@SofieldLeather]

Both! But recently only using the 3/4 in for everything. Looks cleaner and less painting 🤣. Thanks for watching William 👊🏼

[@skylineleathercompany]

I’ll have to order those rivet setters. Mine sucks.

[@SofieldLeather]

Well worth it bro. Thanks for watching. 👊🏼

[@SofieldLeather]

Hope this helps. 👊🏼👊🏼👍👍👍

[@otealuajones8289]

Sofield Leather I love this video and all the great information you shared. May I ask you what thickness and what kind of wood did you make your table out of? Thanks!

[@SofieldLeather]

Oh snap..Sorry..just seeing this..3/4 plywood for the top. 2*4 sfor the legs...Yhen i got a cheap laminate sheet to cover the plywood

[@Selzman10]

love it!

[@SofieldLeather]

Thanks

Anche io. Ho il tagliastrisce per cuoio ma non e dritto

[@SofieldLeather]

Devi prima fare un bordo dritto. Lo rivedo in questo video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHyll2x9drSjsLc

[@duchtdixon894]

@@SofieldLeather Lo taglio prima. Col taglierino Poi col tagliastrisce per rifinirlo

[@SofieldLeather]

Non sono sicuro di aver capito cosa stai dicendo. Ho tagliato prima un bordo dritto. poi uso il taglierino.

[@codyedwards4833]
