Have absolutely no idea about horse tack (or horses for that matter), but really enjoy watching you make it. Always learning something new. Thanks for the video! :)

[@Doxymeister]

I was looking for a tutorial for hand-tying a beaded macramé traditional Arabian halter, and somehow ended up watching this--and just couldn't stop watching. I also love leather work, and deeply admire the professional at work! Thank you for an informative and enjoyable video!

[@jimathey6153]

U R very good young lady, I enjoy watching your videos. I have been doing this for a little while and will always learn something. ✝️⚾🙃

[@JHLeather]

Thanks Jim 🙂

[@jameswinterbottom245]

wow, so glad I stumbled upon your channel. been a hobbyist leather crafter for about 5 years now. you're an inspiration! Thank you for your videos.

[@JHLeather]

Thanks James, glad you like the videos :-)

[@dmail00]

Excellent video with detailed running commentary. I am not sure I could pull it off wearing one myself, but I am sure family members would love one. Thanks for the video.

[@JHLeather]

😂

[@dmail00]

@@JHLeather I showed this video to one of my relatives the other day, to which she showed me a photo of her horse with basically the same brow band. Then asked me "can you make me one with tassels?" I am just waiting for that video then Jo. lmao.

[@andreluizandi98a51]

Yes, Jo...good work! Amazing!! Congratulations!!

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 🙂

[@graphicsite]

This is awesome...Thank you!

[@JHLeather]

Glad you liked it 🙂

[@mackenzieferguson4599]

LOVE your videos! I was wondering if you use a leather sealer on any of your products, to keep the stain from bleeding or anything like that. Excited for more videos! :)

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 😁 I sometimes use acrylic resolene on the edges to help with that.

[@ebolesequestrianaccessorie3697]

Hello! Could you please make a tutorial on how to connect a shamballa browband with the leather ends? X

[@Thenoobestgirl]

This is really cool. I've always wondered how those pretty browbands were made. Thank god for KZbin tutorials! What is that foam made out of? I always thought it was just a piece of really soft leather.

[@JHLeather]

I use a 6mm foam called plastazote, but you can also use neoprene.

[@maddierepath9885]

How would you make the channel for a channeled browband to fit beads or rhinestones? You have the best bridle making videos I’ve seen by far! Just awesome

[@JHLeather]

Hey Maddie, yes you would cut a channel for them. I have an old video with this method on a dog collar kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipmpamugbcuksMU you would use the same method on a browband. Hope that helps.

[@katerina_m2317]

Hello, I absolutely love your videos! 😊 Everything is well explained and they are super helpful. I' ve seen them all. I have just two questions: Where do you get the clincher links? I was looking on the internet and it's hatd to find them... I'm also wandering which size of clinchers do you use for 5/8 inch wide stripe of leather... I'm not sure if mentioned in the video. Thank you for all your amazing videos 😉 I admire your work.

[@JHLeather]

That's great to hear 😁 I buy my clinchers from Abbey England, (they do international shipping if you are outside the UK). For a 5/8" strap I use 1/4" clinchers. Thanks Jo

[@karleemettam3371]

Awesome video!! Thanks heaps. May I ask where you got your stitch markers from? I am in Australia and am struggling to find any that aren’t really wide apart

[@JHLeather]

Good to hear you like the video 👍 I get mine from Abbey England, they do international shipping too.

[@heatherb4918]

That was really interesting to watch. Out of curiosity, how long did that take to complete, from start to finish?

[@JHLeather]

They usually take me about 2 1/2hrs I think, they don't get ordered very often so I'm not 100% sure.

[@nuni-9448]

Hi The strap of leather is Vegetable leather? Full or top grain? And thank you I was enjoying every minute watching it 🙏🏼

[@JHLeather]

Its vegetable tanned bridle butt 👍

[@plainsarahjane1466]

When cutting out the shape of the padding foam can you use scissors?

[@JHLeather]

You can do but a knife is better as you will have a smooth edge.

[@TheSnakechick]

What kind of thread are you using for your leather work?

[@JHLeather]

I am using MEISI super fine linen thread for the majority of my leatherwork.

[@yuliapolovinkina5283]

Hi. I wonder what kind of glue was used there? Could you share your favourites?

[@JHLeather]

I use bostik 6092 adhesive

[@lmdressage6759]

what is the name of the tool used to create the channel in the browband?

[@JHLeather]

I use dividers to mark out the centre for the clinchers.

[@lmdressage6759]

hello, what are the name of the products you use?

[@JHLeather]

They are called clincher links :-)
