Tools and materials used in this video: www.weaverleat...

This has to be the most underrated Chanel I know of, it is owned by a company, but they don't self- promote a lot, they are just the best leather crafting channel I know of. Keep up the good work, weaver!

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

I may have said it before, but Weaver needs to do a T-shirt that says "First Tine Last Hole!" ;)

[@samsnead9364]

I second that. LOL

[@andrewpeterson5861]

Or ‘That looks like it was die cut!’

[@samsnead9364]

I'm surprised they didn't end up in the stickers they put out.

[@breadbutt]

I'd buy one

[@pittbullcustomleather6509]

Thanks for making leatherwork more fun & interesting. You’re an outstanding teacher. ❤

[@Handles-R-Lame]

FINALLY! Something i can use with all those lizard scraps! Chuck always comes thru!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Nice!!

[@BearValleyRanch]

Love ya Chuck, thank you! I enjoy these video's. Love the energy and how the material is presented. It feels like anybody can do it. I even have my childern in the shop making small projects.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

That's awesome - thank you, Keith!!

[@BearValleyRanch]

@@WeaverLeatherSupplyLove you guys, Weaver Leather Supply! Thanks for the the Love!

[@Beadathome]

Wow! Very handsome handbag! Love the classes❤ I'm a fan!

[@cheaneysaddles]

The stitch groove tool really works great I believe I'll order one soon. Great tips on spot setting Too!

[@dannymarkgraf34]

great video. i am so glad you showed how to make it without a sewing machine. you make it look easy. not to mention it is a beautiful purse that would be easy to sell. thank you

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

Dang, I'd put the Crazy Horse on the outside, and use the deertan cowhide for a liner!

[@julla1416]

Oh my god, he's good. He's a GOD. What a great video. I'm lucky if I can cut a straight line in a piece of leather. LOL

[@PopUpRecordShop]

Always smooth easy learning, Gracias Chuck

[@406Montana]

Great design and execution Chuck, thanks.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Glad you like it, thank you!

[@Woodys_Workshop]

Nice simple project that exercises quite a few tasks. It would be nice if the pattern was a free pdf download though. Chuck makes everything so easy, and is when you get enough experience and confidence. For people very new to leather crafting, this will tax your patients a good deal. Get enough supplies to make 3 or 4 and each one gets easier and has a better outcome than the previous one.

[@ArcticFlies56]

Beautiful job.

[@cherprit2010]

Love it Chuck!

Thank you so much!

Hi Chuck, Ever consider making a matching a ladies clutch wallet with a Reptile Inlay?

Thank you 👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹

Awesome and informative video! There are a couple of embellishments I'd probably add, but that's all flavor. Thanks for the guidance!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thanks for watching!

[@ForjdAmerica]

Awesome video. Our leather stitching video is uploading now with some of the leather we got from you guys. Great quality.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

That's awesome! Thank you!

[@kaycox5555]

Awesome

[@MisterWood1000]

Hi, sorry my bad English but I'm Italian and I use google translator; I would have liked to see the technique when you glue the two main pieces of the bag.Thank you.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

Maybe this will help you friend. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYLNpJijrJhjo5I Chuck gives you the rundown on general adhesives and leather glues.

[@MisterWood1000]

[@Handles-R-Lame]

@@MisterWood1000 no worries

[@andyamend1350]

Ok .. so .. being VERY new to leathercrafting and having ZERO experience with chrome tan .. I noticed you didn't slick any of the edges ... is that a veg tan only step? As always, very informative. I always learn something watching Chuck .. keep it up

[@chrisanderson6566]

I use Toko Pro and it works great on my oil tanned

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi Andy, Tokonole will work to slick some chrome tan edges but if not, like @Unmutual said, you can roll the edges. You can also use edge paint or leave the edge raw like Chuck did in the video for a more rustic look.

[@dugfivgui]

Thanks! This was really helpful as I am looking to make a purse eventually. I do have a question though, do you have any videos showing how to add pockets? or perhaps add a divider inside down the middle? Thanks in advance!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi there, We have a video on a tote bag with an inner and outer pocket. We'll link it here for you. www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/cp_/shop-by-project/bags/leather-tote-bag

[@dugfivgui]

@@WeaverLeatherSupply thank you so much!!!!!

[@drcustomblades2984]

When you glue a lining on veg , do you burnish the veg tan edges before adding a suede liner or after glue up?

[@silvergoldking]

I don't carry a purse, but if i did this would be my 1st choice I L M A O

[@cuddlybear4524]

You're not gonna burnish the corners?

[@fatman479]

I couldn't find it if anyone else asked this question, But what is the groover set to? 1/8 or 1/4 of an inch. I don't think Chuck said. Thank you!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hello, thank you for your comment. Chuck sets his groover to 1/8" for most of his projects.

[@fatman479]

@@WeaverLeatherSupply , Thank you very much for the reply!

[@maryrosannesmith4802]

Where would I be able to buy one of these wonderful bags....I would be so proud to own one

[@jameshiddle1859]

Chuck, getting ready to cut leather to make this purse but ran into a problem. The strap attachment holes are 1/4 inch longer than the holes in the bag. Is this due to the straps having to go around the bend or an error in the pattern? Thanks.

[@Jonathan-lx1te]

Would this same pattern work to sew inside out and flip it around to hide the stitch line?

[@ArcticFlies56]

Chuck, does Weaver Leather have digitized patterns for this hand bag? Even better, do they have a kit for it? I want to get it now, so how do I proceed? Who do I speak to at Weaver? Do I ask for the Clutch Bag kit? Please advise. Richard Katzman Info on file with Weaver

[@chrisanderson6566]

Yet another great video. But, where do you get your clips?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi Chris, We're not sure on these exact ones, but, you should be able to get them at a hardware store or even the dollar store.

[@readytostartshooting]

What is the black material your cutting in ?

Why can't you use a strap cutter on chrome?

[@knight4today]

It doesn’t have the stiffness to resist the cutter to keep it lined up like a veg.

[@jimathey6153]

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, yes you can,.all U have 2 do is make sure you hold tight the piece you R cutting, I personally use a clamp even.on my veg tan, no clamp, a clip nailed, or screwed, 2 your table will also work, more Questions feel free 2 ask, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
