Hi Jo, like the video, good idea to use the tacks to pin it, I stuck a few needles through my last assembly which was a right pain in the rear, kept puling the wrong needle through 😐 All the best Mat

Another great video, where can i get the chain and D rings used in this video? I would like to try making one of these collars. Thanks

[@JHLeather]

Hi Charlie, I got mine from Abbey England, they do international shipping if you are outside the UK 😀

[@Flintbeats]

Hi Jo, Great video! what size chain did you use in this project? thank you!

[@mp_martin]

Very nice work. We can only use half checks on our miniature bull terriers. Off topic question, but did you have your small try square milled thinner? They all seem to be way to thick to hold tight against 3 or 4 mm leather.

[@JHLeather]

Hello, glad you enjoyed the video 😁 It's an engineers set square I got on ebay a while ago. I think mine is a 3" one. Jo

When you make your videos do you film the process with no sound and then go back and record the voice over narrative on top?

[@JHLeather]

Hi Ed Davison, yes that's what I do that way I can listen to the radio 😂 also I get my words muddled sometimes so it's easier to re record the voice track if I do that

[@eddavison446]

What is the tool you used for the keeper to make it square? Did you call it a keeper square? Where do you get it?

[@JHLeather]

Hi Ed, it's a loop stick. You can get them from Abbey England, they do international shipping if you are outside the UK. Jo

[@kizzywizzy589]

Hi. Thanks for your video. What did you put on the edges?

[@JHLeather]

Hello, I use a powder based stain which I mix with wallpaper paste and water. Jo

[@kizzywizzy589]

J.H.Leather Wow. I was hoping it would be something I just buy 😁 but thank you so much for your reply. And a quick reply too. Thanks. Keep up the good work with your leathercraft 😊

[@JHLeather]

No worries 😁 A company called fiebings do a product called Edge Kote which can be used for edges they come in a few different colours and size I think so they may be a good one to look at. I haven't used them myself but they are ment to be quite good

[@kizzywizzy589]

J.H.Leather Thanks😊

[@TheLupulalb]

Hi, what thickness of leather use to dog collar

[@JHLeather]

Hello, I use 3.5-4mm veg tan bridle butt for all my collars. Jo

[@TheLupulalb]

Thank you

[@itsliljimz]
