Great videos,Great leather work.Great skilled knowledge. So many on here get it wrong! Could you use a a running loop on a buckle return? Just starting making belts Long retired royal coachman.

Jo, have you seen Nigel Armitage's channel and his video on looping a belt? He has a slightly different approach to treating the thread on the loop. You may find it interesting too. Love your videos.

Hi , which way would you recommend to turn your leather over the buckle? I’ve noticed some bridles have the grain side to the inside and vice Versa .TIA Sharon

[@JHLeather]

On bridles I prefer a reverse turn (so the flesh side is facing out) as it won't leave any 'bumps' that could rub the horse's face, but there is no definitive way of doing it.

Thank you for these fantastic viseos, please could you tell me where i can buy one of those looping sticks, i am in the UK. Thanks

[@JHLeather]

+andy pandy Hi Andy, you can get some from Abbey England ..... www.abbeyengland.com/Store/tabid/77/productid/69182/language/en-GB/Default.aspx?txtSearch=loop+sticks

[@andypandy6830]

Thank you very much indeed.

Hi Jo, I like your videos! Do you have any idea where to get similar Loop Sticks you are using (13:15) for forming (stretching) loops. Those metal at Abbey are not triangular shape. (not sloped) Thanks

[@JHLeather]

Yes the Abbey ones a slightly different and are meant for use on harness items. Their wooden ones are really good though my former colleague uses them and she swears by them. I got my metal set years ago when I was at college, I believe Ian Harris is making them (he was in the past), he doesn't have a website but his email address is: [e-mail]

What brand of stains do you recommend? And are they oil/ spirit based? Another well done video!

[@JHLeather]

+The Modifier Hello, for my black and brown stains I use a powder dye from Abbey England mixed with some wall paper glue flakes and warm water.
