Making a Belt Pouch | Chapter 1, Creating the Pattern

For tools and materials used in making a belt pouch, visit www.weaverleat...
In today's video, Chuck begins a video series on making a belt pouch. This series will show how to make the pouch and spend some extra time on tools and materials that can be used in your shop to aid in your leatherworking. In this first video, Chuck shows how to create the pattern for the pouch from start to finish.
Join us next week as Chuck continues this series, creating the tooling pattern for the pouch's flap.

I think it’s great how accessible you make leather working. There’s no wrong way to do it and the best way to do it is to just do it with whatever you have available. Great job

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you, Darryl!

[@BrassCatcher365]

Thanks for all you do for the community Chuck! You got me into the craft.

[@cliveho9653]

Same here😂

[@Gaxtry]

i really appreciate his enthusiasm. i'll probably never make these things but it's very entertaining to watch

[@caduceus68]

This is exactly the tutorial I needed for what I'm working on right now.

[@archiem6323]

Great videos. I learned alot.🙂👍

[@chrisholt2474]

I got an apprenticeship with a leathercrafter! I’m so excited to get back into leather work

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

That is awesome!

[@matthewmillar3804]

Looking forward to the next segments! Thanks Chuck!

[@grannybeasley3392]

Looking forward to the next chapter! I enjoy making items for my family, especially items for hunting/camping, and your videos are very helpful in creating my own patterns. Love your videos!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much - so glad the videos are helpful!

"We don't have to be creative. We don't have to be artistic or even mechanically inclined..." . . It's like he's talking directly to me.

[@JimD.]

Love his videos!

[@terrypen]

12:07 Screeches to a halt!!! How about a video on making that sheath for your round knife? or a pattern? I need one of those!

[@sarker.]

Really helpful. Wanna see more series like this. It'll be easier for us to make something by the help of an expart 🖐️

[@kielmcintyre2555]

Awsome video, one heck of a cliff hanger

[@ArcticFlies56]

Nice and precise!

[@truyenhayaudio7150]

The video you have shared is very impressive and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

[@landofthedeadful]

[@andreatthatsme]

Thank you Chuck 😊. This was a very nice tutorial 👍🏿👌🏿😀

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@edwardbella3871]

Thank you, very informative.

[@MrColincarr]

Very interesting and informative thank you

[@TheTrunks340]

Nice. Also, I think a fun project video(or series of videos) would be making leather bottles, or costrels. I just made my first one, and while it's a little rough, it's watertight. Just need to find a different finish for the outside, I lost most of the detail of my basket weave

[@GradyGillis]

Good details and info about tool options. I'm sure you caught that 1/4" hole placement measurement issue in time. I've made that mistake but punched the %#$#^ hole before catching it. Did it on a Civil War cap pouch belt strap. I just lowered the other one and the extra hole was covered (barely) by the tail end of the strap. I had both turned under rather than the "coffee cup handle" attachment your project has.

[@truyenhayaudio7150]

same opinion as you

[@maisonmakin]

Thank you

[@leeburke4060]

great subject

[@scottfarmer230]

Please do more videos using your weaver 303 machine!

[@Buffalo49]

Love Chuck Dorset's enthusiasm. Where did you find him?

[@scottstephenson9597]

Very helpful. Weaver needs to put out a printed catalog, site is to hard to used.

[@TheOldBlackCrow]

That's a great video! I have a question... A friend gave me an old leather briefcase. The stitching is falling apart and the leather seems good but was very dry. What would you recommend to bring back the moisture? Thanks!

[@bobheaney211]

Neatsfoot oil
