The algorithm just lead me to this channel, 20 hours ago, and i ordered my first cheap starter-tool-kit and 1kg of left-over scraps of leather to give it a go. Man i'm so excited!

[@taylorvivona1979]

Me too! How is it going so far?

[@svenvanderhulst9082]

@@taylorvivona1979 in the mean time i have a son, so the leather-work is a little bit on the background, but i made 2 wallets and a pouch

This is all I needed to do a camera half-case, thanks!

Rebrand this away from a "Pen Cup" & make it a Beer Coozie & you'll increase the sales on it drastically.

Old Leather Smith here, Excellent Job Eric, your camera person also does an Excellent Job, thanks 2 both of you, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

Being new to leather I am loving watching and learning from you.

[@Evalyne]

I want to thank you for making these videos. I've been collecting leather tools for about a year and half now but haven't made anything yet. This is because I have a fear that I will mess up the project and get discouraged. I've been browing your videos and it has encouraged me to just practice my cuts and stitching first. I have a bag of scraps that I've had lying around that I'm eager to break into and practice. Thank you again!

[@larrypostma2866]

When you finally do please upload a pic or short video. Doesn’t matter if you love it or loath it helps motivate others in your position. I’m way behind you just a love for learning and leather that lead me here. Hopefully I’ll find myself the tools soon too.

[@bwood6337]

Personally, when starting something new like this I like to think of the first attempts at practice runs where I assume it'll be a mess and just try to learn as much as possible while making said mess. If it’s not a mess then that's just a pleasant surprise.

[@GSTOCK54]

Herzlichen Dank. Ich kann leider kein Englisch, aber ich habe viel gelernt von Ihnen. KZbin hat es für mich übersetzt. Ich bin glücklich und es mach viel Spaß. DANKE

[@patriciacalvinho4629]

Love your work! Thanks for sharing

[@gulamhoosendocrat7091]

Your tutorials are amazing !!! Your explanations are absolutely fantastic , precise and so carefully taught. Thanks man !!

[@BostonCasemaker]

"Doesn't take much time at awl".... Nicely done, great instructional!

[@MatthewMcDermott]

Me too, me too! Fixing an antique leather case that lost its end cap. This is perfectly timed. Thank You.

[@samsparks7239]

I have been avoiding this video for abit but I finally sat down to watch it. I've only been in this craft for a just over year so I have taken the time to master the saddle stitch first (That I initially learned from your channel). I am pretty confident now when I say I can pull off these two new stitches. You explain everything so clearly, and with what I have learned from the channel in the past; everything just made sense, I didn't find myself having to rewind the video at all.

[@iwondery1725]

Happily watching this again and again - thank you for beautifully showing and explaining how to do these stitches.

[@kokifreedom3563]

This video is exactly what I needed for the instruction. Thank you for explaining everything so well.

[@thewizdad]

2 years later and this video is the best box stitch explanation.

[@r4ptor-g4ming34]

It’s not great, he does it wrong. You make the holes only on your me pane and awl through to the other piece. He had too many extra holes on the bottom piece because he didn’t use an awl.

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Going to have to try this and make a Yatzee cup. Thank you

Enjoy your time with every video you present. I admire your clear explanation of the stages of work in leather models, and I gained from you a love for this profession, and I will try to experiment and start working. Thank you very much, appreciation and respect for lighting this way. Greetings to you from Syria🇸🇾🌹🌿

[@Fuerwahrhalunke]

This answered so many questions I had about fitting the bottom on a cup. Thank the lord for I have finally found this video!

I always learn new tips and techniques when I watch. Thank you Sir

[@gypsycruiser]

‘Hold it at the right angle (90) to make the 45 degree holes’ .. love your relaxed presentations

[@Corter]

ahahaha, I noticed that while editing - the correct angle, need to update the ol' thesaurus when i'm trying to explain stuff like this!

Very Nice work 👍😁 thanks ❤️👏

[@ОлегМихайлов-я6п]

Thanks 👍. Всё супер спасибо , удачи в работе.

[@themember3stream]

Very satisfying video. I don't work with materials or do any stitching. My curiosity got me here and I am happy to watch and enjoy your work.

Look like a cool beer cozie!!

[@gezdonaghy2456]

so effortless in the creation of something so unforgiving, you sir are a master, thank you

Wonderful job...!!! Congratulations !!!👏👏👏

[@debbiefinch7445]

Never done any leather work before but am planning on making a couple o9of small leather sheaths around my macaw's harness. Even though they are supposed to be virtually indestructable he is already on his second one in less than a year as he chews through the stitched parts!! (nightmare and expensive!) Son gonna have a go following your butt stitch technique using thick leather scraps from Etsy. Thank you for making your video so clear - all the others assume prior knowledge, are sped up and have awful music!! Will let you know how I get on!! :) x

[@susantipsyhealy7655]

It is amazing how so many people with different hobbies end up needing to learn to make leather items to work in their chosen hobby. Such as yours. So cool

[@shamim8822]

Tanks. You're tutorial is very beautiful.

[@l.wolfm.7006]

Super informative. Well worth the watching! Thanks!

Muy bueno! No entiendo el inglés pero se ve muy bien lo que enseñas, gracias por compartir. Desde Mendoza, Argentina

[@carloslorenzovergaraylator4661]

Qué clase de hilo utiliza?, gracias. Soy de Perú.

[@Tipi_Dan]

Nice tricks. Lately, I've been using heavy vegtan multi-layered, glued first, one side heavily grooved for recessed stitching, stitch holes drilled through with a Dremel tool, then bottom side grooved along stitch holes. You can make some indestructible stuff.

[@carloslorenzovergaraylator4661]

Lo que ni entiendo es el ángulo de la lezna para que llega a la misma línea.

[@susantipsyhealy7655]

This is first time I got it. But like he said, practice. Hold the awl straight toward the hole with ur wrist low . 45° angle. I found a little cheater for that using a thin wedge of wood at a 45° angle until muscle memory takes over. A hardware store should have some in a package. Lightly sand it on both sides and apply a spray finish on both sides to keep from marking the leather. Than use the awl braced against the thumb pad the gently push the blade through by moving your entire arm forward. (Lock your wrist) But only until the tip of the blade just passes through the edge of leather. Seems like a lot to remember, but really not, once muscle memory takes over you will be able to do this at a decent steady pace.

[@kalebrosenberg8294]

My DM would love this as a dice cup, time to learn some leather work

[@marcosvirella1200]

This is so helpful. I was stuck on a project because I didn't know how to properly join a round leather piece to a tubular one ha Once I complete the long wallet (template purchased from your site) I'll revisit and complete my gas bottle reserve holder! Thanks a ton!

[@flyingcat2054]

Nice! It can also be a beverage can insulator

[@jamesmacleod8388]

Very helpful video. I literally just got a starter leather working kit yesterday, and going to try and use some of these in my first piece - wish me luck!

[@denniscleveland669]

I have that same, antique diamond awl.

[@magicman9486]

Thanks that was a great video. I really need to try this. Unfortunatly all my leather is chrome tanned, but i am sure i can still do it.

[@markb3129]

Videos are always interesting!!! ✌

[@kimainsworth7056]

My Saturday challenge! Two more stitches to go. (Putting the bottom on was trickier than I thought.) But your instructions were great. Thank you!

[@ScoutSniper3124]

Thank you. I built up a Sniper version of the 1903 Rifle, and this technique will help me build some nice leather scope caps.

[@jamesshepherd7727]

Very nice instructions for making this. I made caps for my rifle scope and basically stitched it like a sheath. Not real pretty. Now i need to make them again doing proper like this. Thanks

[@fasteddie4107]

Amazing works! Thank you for sharing this very detailed and thorough explanation on technique for a complex and beautiful final product!

I drive an old 1993 Dodge Ram and I can’t find any of the upholstery parts online!! No bench, no arm rests, not even a wheel cover that fits!! So I’m getting into leather working to hopefully make my own custom parts :) These videos are VERY helpful!!

Would the tool bag go under the seat? I have a canvas tool bag under seat but never thought about making one out of leather. Do you know of a design template that is available?

[@beargritter7618]

Enjoyed the video. Been attempting to do the angled holes. I'm going to need a LOT more practise to manage to do it going from the results of the last few nights. lol

Good video tutorial man

[@IemonandIime]

12:10 "It doesn't take much time at awl" 😂😂

[@edwardg.135]

This is an awsome guide and im looking foward to starting on this project, but why do you use a larger gap for the holes of the disk? Wouldn't using a smaller gap for the disk make it so that the holes would line up, making it so you don't have to skip stitches as often?

[@lowspeak]

Wow you're a mind reader, was just thinking about how to do box stitching properly

[@ИгорьЗыковТВ]

Я искренне Вас благодарю. Мне это было очень нужно. 👍

Wonder full video, thank you so much, I have wanted to known how to do that for years! Cheers. :)

Skill unlocked!

[@erikgautebaklid2868]

I followed your instruction and did a practice piece first before comitting to sew a binocular case. So pleased with the outcome, very satisfying 😀👍 I wonder though how you match the size of the round piece to the upright part

[@tommyriise6105]

Great work 👌

[@Ree11Ree]

That stitch would be nice to make a wrist cuff. I’m a newbie. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

If you put a lid on that with maybe a toggle closure, it makes a great jewelry case for travel or camping🐝❤️🤗

[@Pickernik]

Wow!

[@maciasrebollo]

Genial muy bueno fabuloso

[@freddiemoretti8456]

Enjoyed watching this video, really informative. I thought you might want to consider making up some pvc setups for holding your round work( multiple sizing) while stitching, It would be an inexpensive way to make a round work stitching pony that you could clamp to your bench and free up both hands. Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers...Freddie !
