[@g4mersgathering43]

Amazing!

[@duckcrumbie4517]

What kind of glue do you use? You kind of missed the most important step. 😕

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

I use contact cement. You may like "Barge" leather glue.

[@tassiespirit]

After a year or two the glue will let go, it would be better to stitch them around the outside.

Would love to see more

[@judithwright5084]

Is the backs of these pieces glued??????

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

Yes, they are.

[@tiffannystipe9626]

Beautiful work. Can you make a video on forming leather to a molded shape. I want to make a dragon eye arm wrap for my sister and I would like it to hold its shape independently. Thank you so much for sharing your art and knowledge.

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

Hello Tiffanny, and thank you!. Speaking of the wet-molding, you may find useful this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5y2iIR3q7-JpNk. And in regards to the general leather carving and embossing you may find some other compilations on my channel: kzbin.info/door/Sct_mZRVn9X-IUv7_X3vtw. As to the support material for the dragon eye shape, you may use paper clay, or balsa wood insert - it may work just fine for such simple oval shape.

[@professorgryphonsmuseumofb5380]

Soak in water for a full minute, let dry for three minutes then just push!

[@tiffannystipe9626]

Thank you!

[@user-vx4wl2mc7q]

how do you know how big to cut the hole for your cabochon? I am just starting out and haven't quite figured out that part

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

You just have to draw the contour around the stone and give about 3mm of allowance inside this line. Then you flip the leather wild side up and make the angle cut (about 45 degrees) so the back side will match the stone contour, and face side will go along the allowance line. Hope that helps.

[@jamisonowens1703]

Really cool cuffs! You use contact cement to hold the stone in? It stays put with the back of the cab exposed? Do you glue another piece of leather on the back of the cuff and cab to hold it?

[@jamisonowens1703]

I was thinking i would lace in a cab stone backed on leather to secure it but you have something beautiful and "simple" here.

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

Thank you Jamison. I use contact cement to glue the cab. On top of that, when I prepare the "window" I do a slightly angled cut, which helps to hold the stone . And yes, there is a piece of thin leather on the back side. You may also consider a suede as a lining material.

@@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799 thanks for the info! Its a great style of cuff!

[@brittneyfaehnrich5007]

​@@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799 this is exactly the video I needed. what weight leather do.you use for main body and what size for backing of the stone?

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

@@brittneyfaehnrich5007 it is about 2mm for the body, and 0.5-1.0 mm for backing. There is no strict rooles though .

[@tanialopes7581]

. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can ypu please tell me what tolos do you use in the video

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

For the modeling needs I mostly use tools like on the following link:: www.amazon.ca/dp/B079DVR18F/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B079DVR18F&pd_rd_w=fIXo0&content-id=amzn1.sym.f63ff2fc-c217-4ab3-8f6c-28174e351d82&pf_rd_p=f63ff2fc-c217-4ab3-8f6c-28174e351d82&pf_rd_r=13R0PVX7W21C70ZECVH0&pd_rd_wg=1Gv2L&pd_rd_r=252f53c5-f15b-40c7-8700-22d0ce94562d&s=kitchen&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWwy&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyMFA2R0NQRUlWQTdVJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjY3NDIwMzVKMUpYRDFWOThNRiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTI4NDc4MTJQUjRET1IwU0RWOCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbDImYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl Also, I use stamps of different sizes and patterns. You may want to check tandyleather.com for more information about various leather tools and materials.

[@KrusinTheSierra]

What is the closure you use for these ? Snaps?

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

Yes, it is a magnetic cylindrical snap.

[@codyschannel7861]

How do you keep the stones from falling out the back? Do you put a piece of leather to hold them in?

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

Yes, that is correct - you can glue a piece of thin leather from behind to hold the stone in.

[@yogawithcathylighton4178]

I am so impressed with this. Is it possible you could give a list of the tools you use? Incrediable work.

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

1. I use knives of different configuration and sizes. Including swivel knife for decorative cuts. This video represents several moments when such knives implemented. 2. There are also several leather stamps like: V463, F925, D607 and similar configurations - some people call them "borders" because if you put imprints next to each other you can create kind of border or chain. I buy these stamps from the local " Tandy Leather" store. And I believe you may find them either online, or in your local leather store. Also I widely use so called "levelers" - lots of them can be found in the internet stores. Some of them I make myself from screwdriver bits or various stainless still bolts. 3. Also you would need various "sleeker" - they can have all kind of shape and be made from different materials, but all of them made for one goal - to make leather edges, or other areas of your project, smooth and sleek. 4. Also I'd recommend to have various modeling tools like "spoons" and ball-head styluses, which you can buy from "Amazon"

[@yogawithcathylighton4178]

Thank you for taking the time to respond I appreciate it. If I can do work half the beautiful I will be pleased.

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

You are very welcome Cathy. I wish you GOOD LUCK on your art and craft.

[@jenkins1979]

Can you tell me what weight or thickness leather you used to wet from around the stone? Thank you for sharing video with us.With this craft I can never stop learning

[@dmaciel2830]

Wowwww

Do not watch at max headphone volume, unless you want a jump scare

[@popscratchie3985]

At 9:59 what stone is in the cuff on the left hand side?

[@bgrartandleathercraftbygre3799]

It is labradorite stone.
