The Fairmount in Olive

[@kevinclay7366]

Excellent top quality film! Really inspiring...Biiiig Thanks👌😉

[@Bartowham1]

Excellent video. What I enjoyed most was; 1) you didn't waste time with showing me how to do the trivial things and 2) the techniques you used with the Cobra 26. I've been doing leather work as a hobby for the past two years while we RV around the country full-time. I plan to get a 26 when we return to Florida in December.

This is all very first-rate. I am impressed by the double-row of stitches you laid down via the means at-hand. Inspirational stuff here. I thank you!

Beautiful bag

[@hemlockandhyde]

Thank you

[@lukedorny]

Enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing the process. The zipper process was helpful. That olive color is amazing. I think I’ve encountered that problem with bag shapes, too. Clever idea, designing to the machine capabilities (cylinder vs postbed). 👏👏

[@lukedorny]

At 11:53 are you adjusting bobbin tension?

[@hemlockandhyde]

@@lukedorny yep! It goes briefly from two layers of leather to three. 👍

[@randmayfield5695]

The rinky-dink background music made my skin crawl.

[@hemlockandhyde]

lol

[@josh88113]

I love your bags! I can’t find many people showing how to put a zipper in a tote

[@hemlockandhyde]

Happy to help

[@tungaum7531]

What kind of veg-tan do you use it is look like 2 sides finish inside no lining but it is so beautiful bag I ever seen!

[@hemlockandhyde]

This is a bridle leather

[@nancyadkins603]

Love the olive color! Beautiful work👏👏👏👏 Non-leather related question...really LIKE your cap🧢. Where is it from?

[@hemlockandhyde]

Thanks! The hat is from a company called Rad River👍

[@jordanwhite5470]

Shows that the Cobra Class 26 is a pretty awesome machine to have! The bag looked very nice, curious though as to how long it actually took for the complete cut-to-build and completion. Also, what weight leather were you using?

[@hemlockandhyde]

probably about 8-10 hours in total. 4.5/5oz leather is what we use for most bags

[@lucyduke7457]

What clips are you using? I have never seen ones like those before.

[@hemlockandhyde]

They are called wire binder clips, they are a little expensive but we like them because you can see through them unlike to regular black plastic binder clips

[@sincerbeaux767]

What is the name and weight of the leather you used and where did you purchase? Thank you

[@hemlockandhyde]

wickett and craig leather. Bag weight is usually anywhere between 3.5-6 oz and you can get it straight from the tannery or through their vendors like Buckleguy

[@sincerbeaux767]

Another question??? I just bought a Kwikprint 86 exactly like yours. What temp do find works for foil on leather? Thanks

[@hemlockandhyde]

we do about 250 for gold foil. Everyone we know uses a different temp, lol. Try a few and see what works for you

[@sincerbeaux767]

Thank you so much. I experimented w it today and kinda concluded the same temp seemed to be working well.

[@daleenreyna2025]

Where do you find your leather?

[@hemlockandhyde]

we buy from the Tannery and through their approved vendors

[@foyforehand5057]

Great video! Thanks. What glue are you using? How long to dry? Is it just for holding while sewing or meant or be permanent?

[@hemlockandhyde]

It's Beacon: Fabri-Tac. We use it to glue pieces together before sewing. If we aren't sewing over it we use Barge rubber cement. Hope that helps
