How to Install Zippers in Leather

[@mikecalhoun8497]

I've been watching your videos for a about 2 years now and I'm glad that you finally stared making videos with narration. Your getting started in leather working is by far the best that I have ever seen and your other video tutorials are nothing short of excellent. Please keep up the great work.

[@janbanks3264]

I’m enjoying your narrated tutorials so much. I learn so much better when I know the “why’s “.

[@kfwoeltje]

I've watched a number of zipper tutorials. This was by far the most useful. Thanks very much.

[@marcocambray7725]

Finally a simple straight forward with great tips

[@nofinishhline]

Awesome video! As a fashion designer, when you’re not working with leather but working with fabric, instead of using a punch to make the edges of the zipper tape opening, you would make the zipper opening a complete rectangle and then cut triangle at the ends to make the opening. Really enjoyed this!

23:02 minute full of information and tips. Thank you guys.

[@1-0totheOrient]

One of the best tutorials I’ve seen for anything

[@Massa__]

You are the best sir! Thanks a lot for that, all of your videos are great for watch 💪

[@suciumarioDIY]

Awsome lessons in leather working , so in depth and easy to understand , thanks a lot 👍

[@MountainFisher]

Leather working is a nice hobby for me, occasionally profitable too. I started by making sheaths for my knives I make and found I really enjoy tooling and carving leather. I really appreciate your videos and this one in particular. I've avoided zippers for the most part, but will use them more often now.

[@starcovegoods]

Thank you for this tutorial! I haven’t tried putting zippers on leather yet because it is intimidating!! You’re video made it seem very simple and I understand the basics now. I’m excited to add zippers to my projects now!

[@joshzobel6827]

Posting on this video since it applies to the project I'm working on for my girlfriend. None the less, thank you for sharing your leather crafting experience and knowledge. I'm already hooked. Looking forward to all of your past and future content!

[@chanchalkumarsingh5442]

I have learned a lot from WEAVER LEATHER CRAFT......... and follow you also for good learning and inspiration. From INDIA 🙏🇮🇳

[@commonsensecorner7275]

HOLY MOLY! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I haven’t done anything with great detail on months, but time to “Light the Fire” again!!! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@lisarogers9186]

I've been using zipper tapes for years and learned sooo much more from your video! Thank you ♥️🐾

[@DumbDixieDude]

I watched your video on the finance side for how to price your product and just ended up here. I've got my own way of doing this in the first place and so I was mindlessly watching this but I've noticed you're really good for teaching and so I'm subscribed now because I like that

[@mattandnatforever]

Great tutorial! Perfect for beginners, you really took the time to explain in detail. Thanks!

[@grayzvlogz4780]

Yes I was just getting ready to make a leather pouch just in time😁

[@ljdesignscustomshowclothin6832]

omg, this is stunning...... Your videos are my "zen." One of these days, I'll get up the courage to try one! hahhahahhahha

[@thewizdad]

I use the weaver 4 mm chisels. They are terrific and inexpensive! Also Ritza .6 mm thread and needles. The needles have nice strong eyes! Great video.

[@wonderwend]

You are such a good teacher!

Thank you man for all your videos ! I'm into getting all the tools and some natural leather to open a small businses.

[@mangle40]

You are a great teacher. Thank you!

[@rickbratto6167]

Jeez, I learn so much from your videos. I'm not actually a leather professional (I just do onesy-twosy things for fun and for gifts)... but I use your teaching in the back of my head - always! Thanks you!

[@robertpenalber7980]

Thank you again for another awesome video. I have learned so much from you guys. Keep up the great work. Have a great day!

[@colleenpedder5715]

Thanks can't wait to give this a shot

[@bradleyjohnson452]

Thank you! this certainly made zippers less scary.

[@EddieSchirmer]

so, ive been contemplating how i go about making a leather bag/backpack style thing, to carry my Garret SuperSluice pan and classifier screen in, along with the various smaller prospecting tools i tend to bring. since the pan itself is about 15 inches wide, i figured i would need at least that wide if not slightly more width to fit into a large leather pouch, pocket space. what i want to do, is have a zipper flap on the top, where it is not folding over the hole and secured on the side. so basically, the primary bulk would be holding those two items, with the front face having smaller leather pockets With flaps, and probably some sort of easy connecting button or snap to keep closed. im just having trouble imagining exactly how the joinery would go. so, if i had say, an individual piece of leather for each side of the cubic structure. or, a single piece thats folded over with two strips for the sides. etc etc. since im quite new to the whole leather working craft, but do have some experience with sewing, im just struggling to come up with just the right way to make the strongest joinery i can to make a really nice, but not overly detailed bag, that does everything i really need it to do. for instance, should i sew every seam, or can i get away with rivets or screws. and, or could i just use normal straps to close flaps, or would a zipper be ideal, and how to go about designing it specifically to function the way i want it to. i suppose, a paper pattern based on the dimensions i intend to use would be a start, right? also, would ti be best to fold over the leather edges, or is it ok to leave them as is, and what is considered a stronger way of doing that sort of joint. also, since i intend to hold relatively light objects, it can't be more than 5 pounds total, can i get away with using a very thin leather? or is it better to use thicker leather to reinforce certain parts, like say, the back or the bottom where it might contact the ground.

[@nicky20111991]

Thank you for these useful tips!

[@rachelchan2215]

Good tutorial! Simple but useful. Thanks for your sharing!👍

[@ariazv]

Another well done video, thank you for your helpful information. 😄😄

[@danpost4755]

Great demonstration! Thank you for posting this. I really enjoy your channel.

[@Kyle_Mo]

I would have laid the leather crooked as heck. You are good!

[@vardieyal]

Excellent video. thanks

[@brianw4brian]

how about a zipper install on corner angle like a computer bag. for example a 17 inch computer laptop and two sided zipper that closes and locks in center. specifically like the back pack zipper that connects to center.

[@ElSanatlarOgreniyorum]

Tebrikler! Çok güzel işler çıkarıyorsunuz!

A great tutorial for those needing it :) I will be sending people here for this information :P love the explanations of a lot of the nuances that are often overlooked. Thanks Buddy keep up the good work :)

[@switchboardrevelry4275]

Awesome tips! thanks!

[@francisleesc]

Thank you for sharing....👍👍👍👍👍

[@macsnapsmedia]

I did my first zipper install the day before this video came out. 😂. I found out exactly why not to use barge cement.

[@luceafarul579]

Hi there, do you happen to have a tutorial on how to make a zipper bag with a seamless bottom? So the zipper pouch bag would be in one continuous piece of leather like a tote bag but with minimal side depth, and a zipper closed on top without additional zipper panel. I'm trying to find this info but can't find it anywhere. Everybody seems to make the zipper bag with a bottom seam. thanks so much

[@lindab259]

Fabulous!

[@acedtune]

Thanks for the information .

[@نزارعاطفعلى]

so nice

[@olenoname1445]

Thank you much appreciated

[@REJUCILO]

thank you.

[@mycats7321]

Thank you very much. I didn't realize they sold zipper tape. I've only seen them selling pre-sized ones. So I will have to look for zipper tape-- and basting tape as well. This was much more detailed than I thought it was going to be. It explained a lot. Is the method of sewing in the ends about the same on a bag? Could a saddle stitch be used too? I eventually want to make something similar to a laptop bag but for a 21" tablet- so I will need a custom sized zipper

[@razmiksjegiazarjans]

Thank you!

[@pdwhit]

Really helpful! Thank you. Where can I go to find out more about zippers?

[@joshuathorp1557]

Well timed video I want to make an slg. Thanks!

[@johnillig3482]

When you have time show people how to cut the lining around a zip of the project is lined I use a small edger want to see how you do it

[@chellakaygraves]

What's a good base to punch on?

[@katcankan7129]

Late, but watching now 😃

[@raven8sma]

What kind of block do you punch your stitching holes on? Is that like a huge plastic cutting board?

[@tHarvey1228]

How do you measure the length of the thread to stitch?

[@DaleWesley]

What size zipper do you usually use for your wallets and pouches? More importantly, where do you get those zipper sliders with the large loop? I can't find them anywhere.

[@angelyague1196]

Thank. What kind of leather is that?

[@Corter]

This is Hermann Oak Bridle :)

[@weldmaster80]

Thank you

[@alfies98]

I started leather working this week because of you. And fucking hell it's a lot harder than you make it look

[@Corter]

just keep practicing! You'll get better and better :)

[@jordanwhite1420]

My favorite part was seeing an efficient way to remove the extra zipper teeth :)

[@EllenAtwood]

Where, oh where, did you get that cool little zipper tool to install the end pieces? I need one!

[@rogerkomula8057]

Do you work with fur? I have a vintage fur collar that would be sinful not to use.

[@thehumbleone6606]

What # zipper do you usually use? Would you use a # 5 zipper for a project like that?

[@jodyjohnsen]

Chalk, that’s what we use when working with fabric and leather.

[@luxpursuits]

Riri better than YKK?

[@magdahurtado3187]

👍👍

[@michaelsmith-ep7jq]

You're using a Riri zipper but your link goes to YKK.
