Storing Leather, Canvas & Other Materials.

In this video I look at various ways to store your leather and other materials. I talk about the effects of light on leather and look at different ideas for storing leather if space is limited. I show the use of black lay-flat tubing to protect veg-tan leather from becoming tanned. I show you how to make material tubes to store materials in a confined space. I then go on to show you how to make roll straps to keep materials tight their rolls.

Can I just say a massive thankyou! I used to sew leather 3 piece suites back in the 90's before i started my nursing and due to lockdown (and my opal and silversmithing obsession) have got back into tinkering with leather. Having machine sewn items all my life I'm slowly learning about hand stitching. Luckily i also have cutting and pattern making experience albeit seriously rusty! Your videos have been a life saver and seriously useful. I'll be getting the press that you suggested (thankyou for saving me a small fortune too) due to the economy of scale. One of my friends wanted a leather necklace hence the diversifying into leather as well as jewelry. I'm learning more from you than i ever thought i needed to learn. Thankyou and keep up the good work!

[@HobbyBloxs]

Many thanks for your kind words and welcome to the world of leatherwork!

[@suebates5267]

Did you mention your process on how you find the leather you need if they're all hiding in black non-transparent bags

[@maggiealena]

I have a 8 shelf full sheet Baltic birch book case style I use for my leather. It's convenient so it keeps the different types of leather separate. Pig skin on one shelf. Buffalo on another etc. I can reach it easy enough to. I don't buy a lot at one time, but do buy like double shoulders and halves. I can't use halves. I don't make a lot of belts mostly straps of no more the 2 cm. It's easy to pick up and end and get to smaller pieces. Usually 2 or 3 stacks on a shelf. Softer leather I roll it up on. pvc and put a rubber band on each end. Works fairly well. I have been think of buying larger diameter of pvc like 2 in and get a full joint of 3 or 4 inch and cut 1 ft section to clip over the roll of leather. I don't know if that would help or damage the leather. That's still in the debate stage. I'm not going to do it until I have evidence it will work.

[@HobbyBloxs]

I wouldn't wind the leather too tight - it may damage it. Maybe 3" or greater pipe?

Love your informative videos. Just got myself a hot foil press after watching your video. Do you have a leather skiver? Would love to see a video on leather skiving.

[@HobbyBloxs]

Hi. I'll be covering using a skiving machine in an upcoming video. But I do have a video on hand-skiving, if you check out the channel list.

[@sabrinacharette6357]

@@HobbyBloxs is you upcoming video on an electric skiver? I do have a hand skiver and I have ruined too many pieces to keep trying. It’s one of those you clamp to the table. Also have a manual hand skiver but it takes forever is I want to sew a while leather handbag. Looking at investing in a techsew skiver.

[@HobbyBloxs]

@@sabrinacharette6357 Yes, it is an electric "Bell Skiving Machine". It will be a few months before I get to make this video, as it's way down in the queue.

[@sabrinacharette6357]

@@HobbyBloxs that’s what I am looking at purchasing! 👍🏻

[@Follow_The_Way777]

would be nice to hear your vid in stereo ;-)

[@HobbyBloxs]

Hi. Thanks. It was recorded in stereo but due to some technical glitch, it is playing in mono on KZbin.

[@dkperu8558]

I thought storing leather in a plastic bag is bad? Doesn't leather need air flow to breathe?
