Thank you, Ian. I appreciate you being here! I really hope that this channel can be helpful to lots of people, but I especially hope that it makes leathercraft feel more approachable to the total beginner. I remember very well how overwhelmed and intimidated I felt when I was starting out, and I hope to meet the needs of others who are in that same place.

Generous presentation, great attitude: Love your welcoming a community into your site. Some notes: to self-correct before committing, use THREE measured points to define any line; use your square (or triangles) AS you measure (or before cutting pattern). Rounding corners are easily established at this time, along with the rounded stitchlines, as in your example. Grading the leather weights should happen before any construction, and a listing of the STEPS IN ORDER is useful- there’s more than a noob would think!

Thank you very much, Tanner, for sharing your skills. I am new to leatherworking so just checking out channels and learning as much as possible. I find your videos very informative and appreciate you! One question, in a different video, you show how to choose a leather for a project. You say for embossing with a stamp like your logo is best with vegetable oil tanned leather. Is that what use in the "make" video that goes along with this video? You use a press with a stamp for your logo and the leather looks like chromium tanned leather so I am just curious if it is or if you can still get a decent stamp in Chromium tanned leather. Thank you again sharing all your knowledge. It is truly appreciated!

Hey Tanner, I'm a new subscriber to your channel and have been watching quite a number of your videos. Love what you do and how you explain it all. I'm thinking of making this wallet as a gift for our annual Christmas, "Make Gift" tradition in which everyone in the family makes a unique gift for another. One thing I'd like to add to it that I've not seen in your videos is how I could incorporate some material (like a very thin, "silky like" liner) on the inside where you just have the raw leather shown. Obviously, it could just be sandwiched in before glue and stitching but how would I keep it from not showing or leaving a gap on the sides. I hope that I explained my question clearly enough.
@ClaridgeLeather3 жыл бұрын
Hey Tim, thanks for watching and saying hello! I have only tried to add a fabric lining once (and ended up hating it 😅), so unfortunately I don’t have great tips. My friend at Union Leather Co (he’s on Instagram and here on KZbin) has some cool wallets with fabric lining, which may give you some ideas. Good luck!

What's involved in getting that customized heat emboss stamp, I like that kind of smooth leather and I have some but I don't have to tell you that it's not overly suited for tooling.
@ClaridgeLeather3 жыл бұрын
I haven’t done too much with heat. I normally stick with the vegetable tan type leathers that take an impression more easily. I am planning to get a heat embosser soon, so I think that will open up a few more options. I will report back!

What’s the difference between a scratch awl and a regular awl? I’m having a really hard time tracing out patterns and I can’t see my lines to cut. I have awls but none of them seem sharp enough to do anything.
@ClaridgeLeather3 жыл бұрын
A scratch awl is more like the head of a nail or an icepick, whereas a stitching awl (like the one I use) is actually a tiny blade-- it's like a mini sword tip that pierces a slit in the leather. If you can't see your pattern when you scribe it on there with an awl, I would recommend either using a ballpoint pen or a silver "leather pen" which you can get from leather supply stores. A ballpoint pen works pretty well if you have a light colored leather, and the silver one is good on darker leather. I find that if you draw it on there carefully and then cut carefully, an edge beveler usually removes the ballpoint pen marks when you get the that point in the project.
