Beginner Leather Carving Introduction By: Jim Linnell Part 1 of 3

[@davidjennings127]

All of Jim’s series videos are a must watch.

[@desmondehoppie4758]

Wonderful. Very Informative. Your Verbal and Visual Instructions are very helpful. Thank You for taking the time to make this video.

[@notafan1275]

A first big thank you to Jim for the explanations. And a second and third big thanks to the cameraperson and editor, because this video shows what I want to see!

[@cheaneysaddles]

Tandy Leather has all the leather tools you need to get started with leatherworking and this is a great presentation.

[@framerguy]

Good start Jim, I too did some leather work back in my teenage days and made a couple of belts, horse gear, and a few other basic things. Now I have resurrected this interest after over 60 years of mulling around and experimenting with so many different hobbies/crafts/artsy careers that I am ready to get along with more technical leather work. I am out of sets of wood tools to make pouches, roll-ups, and sheaths for and will be watching for your 2nd and 3rd parts of this series. Don't wait too long, my short term memory isn't what it once was and I don't want to forget what it was I wanted to start!! ;-) Now, ...... uh, what were we talking about? .....

[@MountainFisher]

Belts are one of the easier things to make IF you have a strap cutter, but Tandy charges way to high for straps. Like a 1 1/2" wide strap is $24.99! Go to Weaver Leather Supply they have belt blanks starting around $8 and even sell English bridle buffalo leather in several different colors. www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/40-0106/water-buffalo-belt/pr_55790/cp_/shop-now/leather/leather-straps-pieces/belt-straps

I also remember my first day at Tandy leather going to get my kids so I can make my wallet for my Boy Scout merit badge. And I fell in love with it I wasn’t very good at it but I sure gave it a try. The hardest part I had was lacing it. But I sure did love it of course I love the smell! But I made a few things with it but I just never was really good at it but I sure wanted to get good so I kept at it and kept at it and I still have all my tools and keep increasing all my tools! Thank you sir for this given an instruction to what you need to get started.

[@jean-michelglaudeix9745]

That is a great introduction to leather carving. I have already have a look on many video and that is the first time that tools and practice are really well explained. Thank you so much.

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Great instructions. Started leather work as a boy scout, now that I am retired I'm finding the desires to bring back a great hobby from my youth. It's amazing how much I forgotten this instruction is wonderful it brings back memories too.

[@Arch1301]

The last flower using by camouflage tool is AWESOME! You are truly master sir!

[@barsan1971]

Thanks for the "think out of the box" demo of the flower with the different tools. I avoided using some of the tools because my design never matched the one in the practice book. I already see a new world of possibilities opening for fun carving.

[@joerunyan2438]

Thank you Jim, I really appreciate your work and videos. I’m learning a great deal from your teaching.

[@Ladyroundrock]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! So many great tips.

[@randyfernando4442]

So cool ! I just started sewing leather, but these are very interesting and very creative! 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏

[@TheDonnaAnn]

Thank you Jim! This helps so much! *off to watch part 2*

[@fasteddie4107]

Great stuff. Thank you for putting this out.

[@lindalewis5068]

I did leather work in high school and I loved it but haven't done it for a long time over 40 years I asked my aunt when she wasn't going to do leather work anymore I would love to have her tools but I didn't get her tools after she passed away she had a lot of tools would have been sentimental value to me if I had her tools

[@xlr8436]

Good video, but who decided to have music in the background?! So hard to focus on the speaking with unnecessary background noise

[@sunnyphillips6700]

Thank you for your comprehensive tutorial, it's been a big help :)

[@Impulse_Photography]

I just got the Tandy Basic Stamping Kit :: Set 1. It does not come with a Beveler. It has the following stamps:: 1.) X511 - Basketweave stamp 2.) G548 - Geometric Stamp 3.) E294 - Pear Stamp ( but not Pear shaped it is round) 4.) 5706 - Seeder 5.) C431 - Camouflage 6.) V407 - Veiner and a hole punch " Craftoot #4 5/32"

[@christopherleblanc5187]

you're truly one of the best Jim. I was in the Boston Tandy store the other day and they told me how you used to accidentally call their store when trying to call corporate. :) Are you suffering from central tremor or something? Your work is still stellar as always but it's a testament to your skills to be able to fight that tremor like that.

[@la_linatonge3868]

Your videos inspired me to always learn something new

[@mistydawn2717]

I made a pair of Tandy leather knee high moccisans I was 17. Recently I've bought some stamps. When I was a teen we had a Tandy store near my house.💜✌

[@lenhowl]

Very interesting, thanks for posting, makes starting much easier for us beginners.

[@khandiesjourney]

OMG i took a class of leather work at a place called Tandy leather in Scarborough, Ontario Canada!!! They moved from that location now

[@earlelzy7243]

Hi Jim, I just started in leatherwork and I just downloaded one of your patterns but I can't figure out how to put it together and was hoping for your help. I could send you a photo of it if you want.

[@mbs6585]

the man has parkinsons disease yet still does great work. very impressive

[@davehennon4146]

It would be great if you gave us some close-ups of what the tools look like and what they did. Thank you I give it a like

[@jiffystoremissy]

thanks man i love this. i'm trying to do some butterfly skulls right now

[@donaldfrederick1557]

Please move your top camera closer to your work. Very hard to see your work

[@davidpayne4315]

I really enjoy leathercraft

[@EvokeHaze]

I bet after you know what your doing this would be relaxing

[@SuperDesignChick]

I live in Canada and my grandfather was a saddle maker. As a result, I got to try this as a child and enjoyed it. I’m not sure I will be able to take this on as a hobby though as an adult and my sister is not interested. We have a massive chest of leather working tools passed down through the generations. So many tools! I have no idea what to do with it all or the value of them. Any advice?

[@jeffsingleton88]

They may be worth some money. I'm a tool collector and if I were you I'd keep em in the family but you'll need to take care of them.

[@jawadbokhari1]

Can you please share a link to site where I can purchase this kit from?

[@lmso7682]

Best educater

[@larspersson177]

Tack

[@ozzy1066]

I will love to take a class from you

[@johnfrancis5243]

Still 403 forbidden is what I get when I click on the tandy leather link....

[@reellife8707]

Stock & Barrel brought me here!

[@kennymartin379]

Where do u get tool's from how much it cost

[@lindalewis5068]

We didn't use that stone back in the day

[@ladybugsing]

can you practice on poly clay?

[@EveryDaySlacker]

Rofl 14:40 well that escalated quickly. 😂 Turned dark all of a sudden.

[@deepthikumari9528]

How to buy these instrument?

[@TandyLeatherCo]

Here is a link to the products! www.tandyleather.com/en/product/deluxe-carving-leather-set

[@angrywargamer8836]

Are we just gonna ignore him talking about being abused by his father?

[@joeltham1979]

Need more light in your video, difficult to see clearly.

[@kandi3899]

Please remove the music and don't add it to future videos, it's quite distracting and sometimes hard to hear what he is saying. Also brighter lighting would be great. Otherwise, this was somewhat helpful

[@ulisesmaldonado4355]

You tried soo hard not to carve in a swastika lol. 12:20

[@BlueToronto]

Sorry but the music makes it annoying.

[@fu410]

The noise/music needs to go.

[@titus4166]

Please re-edit video and remove the music. It is wretched and does a disservice to the instructor and is quite distracting and annoying. I was worried about the instructor smashing his hand cause he was so shaky. Maybe he was really nervous?

[@antoninerbes1053]

Tandy? Never! Poor punch, arrogant behavior of a British branch! Different and discriminatory prices, by nationality !!!

[@farsalor2627]

Funny, they do right by me and I'm a Swede.

[@antoninerbes1053]

@@farsalor2627 OK. Congratulations to a satisfied customer. I'm from Czech Republic. Friend comes from Italy. Order the same punch and price for Italy € 2,45 for the Czech Republic € 3,72 .. Why ?! Request for replacement of defective stamp - for Czech = in any case, for Italy = a new piece is sent + there is no need to return a faulty piece. Is this the right thing to do? I need quality tools. I'm definitely not happy. I have an understanding of the defective piece (nothing is 100%) but I have no understanding of the rejection attitude and arrogance.
