Great video as always.If you folks can find the time to show us how to make a leather steering wheel cover one of these days that would be cool.

I'd love to see how you guys accommodate for thicker leathers while making patterns. Whether it's a phone holster or a set of armor, paper mock ups are great to get you in the ballpark, but when the thickness of the leather comes into play, those measurements change.

You can easily pattern and mock up for thicker leather using foam of a corresponding thickness. 😉

That soft leather cutting idea is a must, every time I've tried to cut soft leather it looks like I have Parkinson 😂.
Thanks for the tip on setting snaps in thicker leather. I’ve run into this very problem frequently and until now my solution has been to skive the leather around my punched hole. Not easy! I can’t wait to try your tip.

OK. Seriously, I thought, "really, a tip on how to thread a needle - that's so easy". I watched and then I used the tip the next time just to see if it worked. OMG - a game changer for a little thing. Chuck - you are a National Treasure! Thanks for the tips.

I broke two John James needles on one belt. I was disappointed they broke so quickly, as it was my first experience with them. With that said, I haven't broke another since. I find these are way easier to thread than the cheap needles I had from hobby lobby. JJ needles are excellent and easy to stitch with. I won't use any other needle now

Hello Chuck: I loved the idea of cutting the tines on spots. I normally just bend one in and the opposite one "out" That has worked for me since the 80's. As for the snaps. I use mostly 5-6 oz veg. I NEVER have an issue with the snap stems being too short, I have issues with them being too long. That requires a trip to my bench grinder, small vise grips, with a LOT of care and finagling. Someone needs to come up with Line 24 snaps with different length stems like the spots? Just my issues/opinions. Thanks for reading. God bless: Dave

Any experience with making parfleche pouches, boxes, and/or cases? I’m experimenting with making a folding tinder box doodad for fire starter in the tipi. Anyway, just looking for thoughts/ideas/tips to double check against what I had in mind. I posted somewhere else, but realized perhaps a leather element may be a better forum.

When making a sheath, the back panel smooth side out you bent the belt loop back then riveted it. How do you smooth out the rough side so it looks good. I guess I'm asking how do you smooth the rough side.

If it is real fuzzy then some good sandpaper to take off a majority of the fuzzies. Then apply some Tan-Kote. Once you put the Tan-Kote on while it is still wet use a 'slicker', bone folder, or something similar to sort of burnish the rough side. Best thing is to use a nice quality leather that has been cut well on the 'rough' side so you don't start off with lots of fuzzies in the first place. So whether or not you have a fuzzy or smooth 'rough' side Tan-Kote is what i use.

Hi Chuck. Ima bout to cry! I am having a hard time finding information on what sizes (if any) of Ritza thread can be used with my Cobra Class 26 sewing machine? Is it JUST for hand sewing?
@WeaverLeatherSupply
2 жыл бұрын
Hello! I believe that machine takes thread sizes from 46 to 207. 207 thread is .508mm in diameter. So unfortunately we would not offer a ritza small enough. Also we are not aware of any machine that would be able to utilize that thread, so yes, we would say it is just for hand sewing.

A little moisture on the end of the thread and crimp it down flat gently with a pair of smooth jawed pliers or serrated pliers will possibly work also. Should go through the eye of the needle easily. You may have to put a sharp point on the end of the thread. Great video sir, thank you.

Thank you for this video….I do have a question though. What needle is best to use with artificial sinew? Size, part number etc. so I know what to look for on weaver.
@chuckwaltrip7020
2 жыл бұрын
Most of my sinew sewing is with glovers or sharps needles, which also have small eyes. The first thing I do is cut the length at an angle and then split the fibers into thinner widths (assuming I don’t need the entire thickness). In any case, whether you split it or not, the next thing I do is run that cut end between my incisor teeth to make it nice and flat while keeping it dry so it stays sturdy enough to thread the eye. I’m sure there are other ways, but this is the simplest, fastest practice I’ve found that works for me.

These were some excellent tricks and tips. I have always threaded my needle the same way that just did, cutting at an angle and mashing flat for small eyes. That was a great tip on how to cut a square. I do have a question although. I have a piece of marble is that a good thing to use for my hard surface? Y'all have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry!
@3henry214

Yes... marble is what I use. And because my work top space is limited, I bought a marble soap dish at Target that measures 3-1/2" x 6"x 3/4". I turn it upside down and use the flat bottom as the working surface. Perfect size for setting snaps, rivets. I also found a Marble "serving tray" at Target that measures 6" x 12" x 3/4", I glued poundo board to one side and trimmed it, to have two types of work surfaces. When you think about it... what's the reason to have anything larger for setting snaps and rivets, or stamping, when that's about the size of area actually being used on a larger size slab.
