[@harryrogers]

Great video Dave. I have been making a few leather Christmas presents - it is very enjoyable stuff to work - looking forward to Part 2. Harry

Grass don't grow on a busy street is what I tell-em. Good video Dave

[@DaveBardin]

Thank you Harry, it is a wonderful material for presents. I have uploaded part 2 and it is stuck in KZbin limbo. It has been processing for the last 4 hours. I do hope it will come out of the matrix and let you folks see it. Thank you for all you do Harry. Don't stop.

[@DaveBardin]

D thank you so much. I do have lot of subscriptions to and most don't cut the cake. I am glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 is around the corner. Good luck on making yours. I hope it is as much fun as mine. But truth be told after 900 stitches my finger hurt.

[@DaveBardin]

Yep no hair. Thus when I am outside I wear a hat. The ole sun cooks what little brains I have. That was funny. you made my day!

[@harryrogers]

Dave - I find mine get stuck for a day or so at times! I have just been making pole lathe tool covers on my Singer 29k patcher. Harry

[@JohnTBlock]

Just a suggestion, but use your yellow mallet on all your leather drive tools - punches, rivet setters, etc. So you don't damage them. Otherwise, great job! You learn more, the more you do...

[@acdyman]

Great video. You should sell the layout for people to make their own. ;)

No hat, no hair! Who knew you've been hiding that Bruce Willis look all this time!? Good video - thanks!

[@Sandhillwoodworks]

I agree, I shave mine every summer.

Great video!

[@DaveBardin]

I am glad you enjoyed it. Part 2 will be up soon. Stitching the strap is the long part. I am almost done. Thanks!

Could you tell me where you sourced your material?

[@waynee.2856]

Very nice work from what I can tell. I'm just getting into sewing myself, just to broaden my bushcraft skills and knowledge. This video just motivates me more to hone my skill so I can try and create a beautiful piece like this. Thanks for the video, you will get a thumbs up from me and a sub. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@DaveBardin]

Wow very kind words and thank you. Merry Christmas and happy new year to u and yours....

Hello, nice work. What is that measuring ruler used in 3:41 minute of video, Catfish or something like that ? Could you give me some link?

[@DaveBardin]

+Milan Bíža That was a flea market find. Its a kitchen ruler with general tips on temp and measurements that are kitchen related. I have a whole $2 invested in it. I like it because its wide and I can hold it easily.

[@KillingerUSA]

nice work! Where did you get the leather from?

[@DaveBardin]

Thank you my friend. I got it from these nice folks I was very pleased with there product. www.brettunsvillage.com/leather/sides.htm

Hello, cool work.can you tell me what kind of instrument in 5.07 minute of video?

[@DaveBardin]

the tool in my right hand is a small wood workers marking gauge. I t owned by a pattern maker from 1880. basically a sick with a sharpened nail. The stick has a fence that is adjustable and stabilized by a locking screw. I hope that helps. I made a Japanese one here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIHEYp9oh71-jNE one was made for me here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX7PcoZsftubsNk

[@user-le4wq7ig2h]

Oh, thanks for your reply)

[@DaveBardin]

Thanks Bob. I like it. once you get rid of the hair, you don't want it back. :) Just call me Kojak with a Kodac

[@billdewey8981]

I was just wondering why you don't give the measurements of the sections??

[@DaveBardin]

+um all of my project are from my head. I don't use a ruler most of the time just start placing things together in a fashion I think they look good. I first made a paper template to see if this was the size and shape I wanted. When I was happy I started cutting materials.Bill Dewey
