Make A Raised Leather Watch Strap // Be The Maker // Leathercraft Tutorial

[@tcordova3840]

I love the work and the way you detail how to make the item your working on. I am a watch person. This is a beautiful watch. Thanks for sharing

[@JHLeather]

Thank you very much! 🙂

Amazing. I have a big watch collection and just got into swapping the straps around. I was about to start buying a bunch of new straps, but as an artist thought.. this can’t be too hard to make. Came across your video and now I’ll be buying tools instead! Absolutely thrilled!

[@EdBlack-]

Do you have a video showing how to make these exact same straps, but where you would normally skive the two ends for the spring bar, the leather is actually a continuous mirror image piece that is folded over to make the spring bar hole. Not sure if that style of end would be superior, but seems like it would be a bit stronger of an end and maybe easier to make.

[@EdBlack-]

Also do you happen to have a list of the tools you have in this video? Glues that you found are the best and edge paints and leather suppliers you prefer? If you have a video of that it’d be amazing as well!

Lastly: Subscribed! 😄

Спасибо! Ваши работы очень вдохновляют! С нетерпением жду появления новых. Успеха Вам в труде и творчестве!!!

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 🙂

I am impressed. Working with leather is a specialized job, one needs the tools and experience to make something looking professional. The video convinced me that having neither, I'm better off buying a new bracelet and modifying the part that attaches to the watch (the system is proprietary to the brand, nothing on the open market like it). Thank you and again, I'm impressed.

Since leather is prone to stretching, you may need to reinforce the loops with a non-stretch material. Especially when those loops are rather narrow, like in this case.

[@MrMadvillan]

overkill. the thickness, the padding, thick stitch, edge paints. that thing is not going to stretchy in any meaningful way and its already overly thick imo.

How do you sharpen the tini tiny edge tool?

[@jodalry]

Lovely tutorial. May I ask where you acquired the 0.6mm edge shave from and the five hole strap punch? 🙂

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 👍 I got the tools here: kemovancraft.com/ they shipped fast and arrived in about a week. 👍

[@jodalry]

Many thanks. 👍🏻🙂

[@philtrainor]

Hi Joe, quick question; can you use chrome tanned leather on a watch strap? Great work by the way. Kind regards. Phil.

[@JHLeather]

You sure can 👍

[@philtrainor]

Thanks Joe

[@blakeyonthebuses]

Hi. What do you use as a filler.

[@stotty5822]

Could you please tell me what type of glue you are using on the watch strap

[@JHLeather]

Its ecostick 1816b 👍

[@gablake]

What kind of glue?

[@houseofcheung]

Thanks for the great video. What type and size of thread are you using?

[@JHLeather]

Glad you like the video. I used 0.5 ish mm polyester thread 👍

[@houseofcheung]

@@JHLeather thanks! I will look for some.

[@80ckhouse]

May i know what is the software to design the template? Thanks!

[@JHLeather]

I use Adobe Illustrator 👍

[@curtfunk2370]

Nicely done. One question: you chose to use edge paint instead of burnishing - is that because you didn't use a vegtan leather?

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 😊 The goat skin that I used is a vegetable tanned leather but I have found that the edge paint gives me a better finish than the staining and burnishing method I usually use on vegetable tanned leathers.

[@naoufelmilano5007]

Great job please pdf

[@samuelevinti]

[@taylormedia1000]

Where's the second loop ?

[@JHLeather]

I set the single loop far enough back that there was no need to add a running loop. As this was custom made to the required size I knew where the end of the strap would sit when done up, if it was not then I would add a running loop.

[@clipdump]

nice

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 👍

[@Headinfoneus]

Есть тут знающие? Сколько такой ремешок продержится без укрепления доп.материалом от растяжения?

[@Sokol10]

Nice strap, ugly watch.
