I like to watch videos like these because it reminds me why things are priced the way they are when they’re hand made. It takes so long and so much knowledge and patience. Any time I find myself thinking “that’s expensive” I search for a video of how it’s made to kind of shame myself out of thinking that way.

I got into leather work purely by accident. I had a dog that was so big i couldn't buy a collar big enough. So made my own all hand stitched. It was truly a labour of love . Since then I've been making leather products for people.

I am even just amazed with your saddle stitching. If I use just pricking irons and don't go all the way through both pieces, my diamond awl comes out where I don't want it and my stich lines look like garbage on one side. Bravo!
@JHLeather4 жыл бұрын
The best way to achieve that is a sharp awl, the easier it is to awl through the leather the easier it is to get your stitching straight. Also lots and lots and lots of practice. If it helps you can use your dividers to draw a line on the other side of your turn so you have a guide to follow. Hope that helps 🙂

Thanks for this tutorial - it's clear, concise, and easy to search. I also enjoy your voice. Excuse me if this a tangential question. You do not stitch the edge of the collar and I'd like to know Does edge stitching on collars or belts have a function beyond decoration?
@JHLeather8 ай бұрын
Unless you are stitching 2 thicknesses of leather together, then stitching all the way around is just for decoration. One thing to note that on a collar or belt if you are stitching all the way around, unless there is a filler that the buckle sits up and away from the stitches, the buckle will rub and eventually damage the stitches. 👍

Lovely to watch an artisan at work. I would be interested to know what make awl and needles you use. I bought a Tandy awl and it just bends quite disappointed, also your hole punch, I’ve bought and buckled two of these now, so just use hammer punches. Finding good quality tools is a challenge. Thanks 😊
@JHLeather4 жыл бұрын
Hey Pete, I use an awl blade and handle from Laederiet in Denmark. You need to make sure you sharpen your awl so that it goes through the leather nicely, forcing an awl that's not sharp can cause them to bend. The hole punch I got has a lever action to help it punch the holes, I got it about 12 years ago and am not sure where I got it from. I'm not sure where you are based but the is a listing for one on ebay USA: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VBW-356-005-Lever-Action-Revolving-Leather-Hole-Punch-Pliers-Made-in-Germany/372794498256?epid=19018486167&hash=item56cc489cd0:g:WgoAAOSwYqVcictZ
