I usually prefer your project videos, but I think this one HAS to be the most informative one yet. Thanks for the tips!

We are starting to add laser cutting and engraving to our leather project. I would love to see videos on applications of using a laser with leather. From project ideas, pitfalls, best practices, of there are any differences/challenges when dying and antiquing, best sizes and types of leather for different projects if different then from making traditional leather projects. I would love a video on hand sewing for beginners. Different stitch types, when to use which type on what, best practices, pitfalls, equipment/product suggestions. Especially if using a laser to precut the stitch holes-what size should those hole be?

Quality leather can be detrimental to one's progress. Especially if your learning to tool, stamp and carve. When I started some 20ish yrs ago there weren't many places to go for leather and used leather that was inconsistent density within a hide. and not knowing or understanding the difference it added a lot of frustration. I still may not be a master at tooling (really nowhere close lol) but my progress is 100 fold when using Quality leather that is consistent in throughout 😊

If making belts or tack, remember leather stretches more in one direction. So if your are using a double shoulder, dont cut the leather horisontal. Its stretches so much. Cut it down the middle.

Thank you, Chuck. This was very useful information. Love the suggestion about the v cut double shoulder. I'll have to pay attention to that the next time I am ordering some leather.

Why is the v cut double shoulder not what you would choose for stamping or carving?

Are you better off to buy a double shoulder, full hide or belt blanks to make belts ? For a beginner and to sell . I have been getting asked if I make belts to sell. I don’t know if here to start. I currently make a lot of hatchet sheaths and a few knife sheaths.
@WeaverLeatherSupply Жыл бұрын
Hi Kris, If cutting the blanks yourself isn't an issue, then we would suggest either a finished double shoulder or our Water Buffalo Single Bends. These are both great quality but smaller than a side so it won't be as expensive right off the bat.

@@WeaverLeatherSupply all the leather I have bought from you guys is awesome quality! I bought a belly that I’m still working with. I make a lot hatchet sheaths. A few knife sheaths. But the veg tanned is a real joy to work with from you guys as well. Thank you for the reply !
