beautiful job!

[@TeranAtelier]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@tonymontana8991]

Thank you kindly, now I understand that it is not possible to do it myself because you have to have tools and a special tool stitch marking for the watch bracelet !!!

[@Dynamytguy]

Wow that came out amazing!! Glad to see you back! Where do you get the interchangeable edge creasing tips that fit the soldering iron?

[@TeranAtelier]

Thanks! Those F type tips are from a very basic set that come with the soldering iron kits for leathercraft. I Just used the one that makes the 3mm offset line to mark in the stitching line rather than creasing.

@@TeranAtelier awesome!! Thank you so much!

[@rayjames5200]

Lovely work. You are a master craftsman. Slightly off topic may I ask what type of leather is your other watch strap made from. I like the way it catches the light.

[@TeranAtelier]

Thanks! The exterior leather is crocodile with a shiny finish.

[@rayjames5200]

Sorry, I I meant the strap you’re actually wearing while making the crocodile strap

[@TeranAtelier]

No problem. That one I was wearing is a polished stingray leather strap. You can see the video where I make it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6eXXoifoc-LmpY

Do you do deployment buckles?

[@TeranAtelier]

Making a strap for use with deployment is very similar to standard watch buckles. You may need make slight variations to the standard pattern.

[@BedengCamaruleather]

I've never made anything like this, it looks a bit complicated waww

[@TeranAtelier]

The turned edge method needs thin leather so skiving is really important.

[@hrksk9738]

Beautiful strap! May I know how long does it take to make?

[@TeranAtelier]

Thank you! It takes around 8-10 hours for this type of strap.

[@elenachugreeva7488]

Good job! How much it's cost?

[@TeranAtelier]

Thanks! A crocodile or alligator watch strap is normally around USD 100+.

[@jimandrews89]

Any tips for punching stitching holes around the fixed keeper?

[@TeranAtelier]

Its not really much different than normal but try to place at least two stitching holes within the profile of the keeper. This would properly secure the fixed keeper in position.
