In this video, we will be making a leather tool roll using our 3/4 oz. Pines Milled Leather. This leather tool roll is custom made to fit all of Chuck's stamping tools, but using this same basic design, you can make knife rolls, dart pouches, and so much more! The pouch is completely hand-stitched but could easily be made using a sewing machine. We hope this video helps inspire you to make your own custom tool roll!

When Chuck says "...we're gonna have a *GREAT* time doing it!" you get a little excited, then settle in and relax because you know it's true - you *are* going to have a good time doing it!
So true lol
One of the best instructors I've ever seen! I would pay to take classes from this man. The fact that he does this on CZcams for all of us to have free access too is just plain awesome. Thanks for another great lesson Chuck!
I know its been said before, but Chuck Dorsett is the Bob Ross of leather craft. A true inspiration for me.
No, Bob Ross has more of a calming effect. Chuck has more of an energizing effect. I really enjoy Bob's painting videos, and Chuck's leather craft videos also too. I'm in the early stages of Bob Ross style painting. I have all the classic beginner mud mixer mistakes down. Hopefully I can get the hang of making some happy little clouds before long. CZcams's suggestions recently reminded me that I had acquired a few tools and supplies to give leather craft a try a while back, but got sidetracked onto other hobbies before getting started. Chuck's videos are getting me energized, and encouraging me to finally get started also too.
most of the leather work vids I watch, I watch as I doze off at bedtime.
but this guy's energy is a bit too much for that.😁
Vikingoverlord I said the same thing last night. But he’s awsome
Yeah I love his enthusiasm.
I like the way you instruct. 👍👍
what an enthusiastic guy, surely i'll do leather crafts after this
I know right. Like, he makes you feel like you could really do that!
Toward the end you confessed the amount of time these things take. I admire that admission, a quality product takes time, and skill. My dad and I built what we called 400 year furniture, it took time, but generations from now could potentially enjoy our work. There are leather products that survive from the 18th century in the US, they were quality then and it shows still.
These videos are great for so many reasons, but the VERY best is actually explaining how to make my own patterns!!! Once youve got the basics down, it means nothing without pattern making knowledge... This makes anything possible, and i cant thank you guys enough for that!
Thank you so much!
'I'm not sure where I'm gonna go..' Brilliant.
Hahahah. I wish I would have seen this before I used a 23' long thread to sew around a notebook cover. Great video with great tips. Thank you!
Chuck is exactly what we need in 2020.
Your raw enthusiasm makes it impossible to not be inspired!
I always enjoy your videos.
Отличная работа!
You have gold hands
this video popped in my feed, never done leatherworking but man this guy makes me want to build a saddle.
Chuck is the perfect hybrid of the fonze and Tim the tool man Taylor…
Absolutely great and inspiring as always, Chuck. Thank you for that once again.
This is something I've been meaning to do for ages! 😄
Cheers Chuck; some really helpful tips in here. 😊👍
Great idea for carrying around your stamps.
I really love watching your leather crafting videos! I'm making one of these now.
Thank you Chuck! Making a paintbrush role as a Christmas gift and will be taking all your advice and techniques to help me.
Thank you for this video, I was just looking for ideas on how to make these!
Very clear and professional video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Chuck your passion for your craft is amazing, love listening to your videos!
This is brilliant. Thank you for this! I was needing some inspiration!
You're an awesome teacher. Thanks
Im in the middle of making one for the tools I bought, my first project using some awful leather I was able to find. I was a bit unsure if what I was doing was right so thanks for the project!
Seriously have never heard someone so obviously giving sales pitches but me loving every second of it.
Love watching these projects. Beautiful items excellent workmanship
Thank you, John!
These videos are great, even if I'm not making the project that Chuck is making its still just great content
Waiting for my first leather crafting tools. So excited. This is a great video. Instructions clear, to the point and easy to follow. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to get started.
That's awesome, Debbie! We hope you love it!
Thanks Chuck! Love the energy! Little hard to see the stitching but I’m sure you have lots of videos on that topic! All around amazing teacher and inspiration 😊
I used these instructions to make a tool roll for my Weaver stitching chisels. Totally ruined the finish on my chisels after ~1 year.
Wish I had known to use veg tan for metal goods. Would have been good to learn that about chrome tans in this video.
Thanks chuck..gonna make a veg tan with inner chrometan liner. You inspired me...gonna hold knife sharpening supplies...
Just a comment to keep the algorithm going. 👍🏻
I appreciate how he isn’t forcing the products on us to buy it. He is aware that leather alone is expensive and endorse no waste.
I was looking around for some tips for a kitchen knife roll. This is by far the best I've seen, thank you
Thank you so much!
This is on the list as future project, and Chuck is always great. Although I was looking for a video of how to make the board we see so many times that is in the videos, behind Chuck. I still to tho the craft and have limited space. Although I don't think it would be that hard to put together.
For the corners you could use a scribers compass. Normally they are used for metal work in conjunction with calipers but they work great with leather when going around the edges and keeping the same distance all the way along edges.
You lay one point of the compass on the outside of the leather and the other point lays on the leather and you just pull the compass along the leather and it scribes a precise line all the way along. It can be adjusted like any other compass with an adjustment wheel between the two arms.
Hope this helps.
I love this. It's my next project.
His excitement getting me excited lol.
cool example for a tool roll...thanks for the inspiration... greetings from Germany
Hi there! Thanks so much for watching!

Awesome !!!
I am here only for Chuck
Chuck, I would add one more pocket which would hold your business card in case you lose the tool roll. This serves two purposes, one is the obvious. When someone finds your tool roll, they can contact you. The other serves to tell people where they can purchase this prize winning tool pouch.
Superb video
Damnit, listening to this dude just caused me to go order a Sham-Wow.
Profesyonel.
Very gut.
Wery nice.

Is this where the divide by Tuesday blooper came from?
how about one for a beginners set of tools (punches, skive, wax thread, utility knife, burnishing tool ext...
Gday from Australia, Chuck! Just started and your videosnare a huge help. One question with this project, the leather you used lools like chrome tanned, would that tarnish the tools?
Dont where else to ask this but, I would really like to see a video on making some saddle bags and saddle horn bags for my horses. Can you make that happen Chuck?
Sham WoW!
I am thinking of getting the supplies for my husband. What did you get for the tracing of the pattern onto the pattern sheet? Thank you!
I am thinking of using this design for stone chess pieces. I am wondering how this style of pocket would work since they are round, 5/8 inch, rather than flat like these tools? Would I need to change the design or just the size?
Hey Chuck! I love your videos about leather armor and costumes but I was wanting to see if you could do a video about finishing and protecting leather armor in case you get caught in the rain at a Renaissance fair or if you are filming a scene in the rain for a movie or film so you don’t have to scrap the armor and make another one.
I have struggled with this one for so long and I am sorry to admit that I just don’t believe sealants work as well as we would hope. Leather is so porous, and, it has holes, a skived side, edges…and the only way to really seal it would make it stiff and unusable. With your email I’m going to go back and work with some of these and see what tends to work best. Once I get some confidence we’ll put an Element together for you!
Treat leather with neatsfoot oil,
(mineral oil also works).
May not need it on new leather; either oil will help restore old leather.
What about treating all the leather pieces with some oil prior to sewing it all together to make it more supple and protect both the leather and the metal tools?
Chuck!! How did you know my brother is a drummer? I’m a bass guitar player. Maybe a guitar strap video in the future?
Hi Laura!
We actually have a guitar strap video! We'll link it below so you can check it out.

Weaver Leathercraft, thanks!
0:07 Jesus man, chill out, it is 6:30 am here and i didn't have my coffee yet
You must be new to watching Chuck's videos! Dude is super excited about leather working, all day every day!
Nope, not gonna happen, sorry. ;-D
how hard would this be to make out of tooling leather????and heavy would the leather have to be for tooling
I wonder if it would be possible to make this for the bigger type leather working tools edge bevelers etc
You can definitely modify this and make it for larger tools!
I’m really struggling to design a similar role for pliers and to plan for added tools down the rd because they’re not all he same shape and size.
I make my tool rolls with one huge pocket. I partition it only later when I’ve used it for a few months and I’m sure I know which tools I want to give a dedicated space. Then I use Chicago screws. Quick easy and no sewing.
can you use veg tan leather for this project if you can what size leather would you use
Dart pouch made me think of assassin creed cx
Instantly imagined an SNL skit with Jim Carrey ...
Love your channel and work! The links to the pattern are broken. Can you reply with a new link?
Question : How would I make a leather roll for a spatula,fork and steak turner. How would the steak turner be concealed at the working end. Thanks in advance.
what kind of material are you using for your template? I tried using those cheap plastic folders that come round at the start of each school year but the material starts to crack after several uses. I'm looking for something slightly more durable.
Hi Byron,
We'll link the pattern sheet below for you!

Great video! Not a leather question, but what watch is that? Nice look

Nice tool roll, but I thought you shouldn't use chrome tanned leather with metal (the Pines Milled Leather says it is a chrome tanned leather). Am I missing something?
You’re exactly right. Chromes can tarnish metals. In this instance we could go with a veg, and with molding do a very cool pouch but, it just wouldn’t roll well. It would soften with use but the chrome is just a good supple leather. The biggest issue, in my opinion, is more for moisture than the chrome. A chrome touching metal with some moisture involved would tarnish overnight, but without, it shouldn’t be an issue with stamping tools. Long term (years) I can’t say but the tools should be fine. I would stay away from veg-tans with a high oil content. In my experience the oils are bad about tarnishing. Always a good question!
Can anyone post a link to the hard plastic tracing "paper/film" that Chuck uses in this video?
I got some good quality chisels, but have trouble getting them through even very thin leather. I have to hammer with a heavy mallet, and still usually cannot get the larger chisel through. For a surface, I have a concrete floor, poundo board, wooden cutting board, and then the leather. Is there anything I should do to make the process easier?
Hi Greg,
The main thing would be a solid foundation and the concrete floor should do it - just make sure it's an even surface so there's minimal bounce when you hit the chisels. The only other thing I can think of is to try putting a scrap piece of leather under the leather you're punching - this will help the tines sink through the leather.
Hey Chuck! I thought about something at the end of this video: Can you antique a piece of leather without dyeing it or will that cause problems?
Hi Chris,
Yes, you absolutely can, check out this video where we only antiqued and added a top coat: czcams.com/video/e1nhpJb6XNM/video.html
Four three quaters inches =12.1 cm .check out main body paper
Storing cables, power charger and plug?
Chuck with chrome tanned leather won't there be a reaction with the steel and brass. I even have trouble with dyed veg reacting to brass on knives . Happy trails

Would lining the roll with suede be safe, or would it damage the metal tools like a chrome tan? I am specifically thinking of one of the very colorful ones, which are listed under chrome tanned on the website.
Hi Greg,
Lining with suede should be fine. We did some testing with metal and chrome tan suede and it had no effect on the metal. Moisture will cause more harm than anything to metal. Hope that helps!
@@WeaverLeatherSupply Thanks for the info!
What weight/kind of leather would folks recommend for a tool roll for wrenches?
We would recommend a 5/6 oz.
Veg tan will give you more body and hold it's shape but a chrome tanned would work also, especially since it will be rolled up.
Hi Chuck! Big fan! The pattern for the tool roll is no longer on the weaver website. All of the links provided in the description of the video are broken. Could you please provide new links or let us know what happened?
Is that pull up leather u're using? I have 1,5mm vegtan and it's to stiff to make a flip out of it.
This is a milled chrome tan leather - very soft and supple!
Total newbie so my question may be very basic. In order to accommodate a tool handle, don't you need to have the pocket pinched in as opposed to laying flat? Or does the leather stretch to allow the tool to fit?
The leather stretches, but he also does an initial loose measurement at the very beginning of the video.
2 questions. 1) I've seen aging techniques, but how do I distress veg tan leather? How do I make it look gnarly?
2) I've seen veg tanned vs chrome tanned, how about oil tanned, how does oiled leather affect finishing?
Hi there,
1.) You can buy some veg-tanned leathers, like a pull-up or rustic harness leather that will have an aged look but the best way to age new veg-tan leather is just with use. Work it with your hands, use an antique finish, you can always wet mold it into the shape you want to to be. every day, regular use of the product will give you the best, aged look.
2.) Oil-tanned leather will usually also have some veg or chrome tannage in it also so it depends a little bit on that. I'm not sure what you mean by finishing but you shouldn't have to add a finish to oil tanned leather. It's dyed during the tanning process and should be good to go as is.
Hope that helps.
Chuck what are you using for your templates? I'd like to make some and keep them for later.
Hi Justin.
For patterns that I know won't need edited later, I use our plastic pattern sheet. It's nice and strong and won't get ruined if you accidentally spill dye or whatnot on it. I'll link it here for you: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-4110/pattern-sheet-24-x-45/pr_8876
@@WeaverLeatherSupply thanks for the reply, I really want to make this so I'll probably be pushing forward with it soon. Maybe not as a first project but in a few months hopefully.
What kind of tape is on the back of his straight edges?
Hi there!
This is the one we use: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/77-7325/non-slip-tape-1-x-4/pr_54884
It's a soft, spongey tape.
I've got a question about dyeing leather ( veg tan ). I have been using fiebings and both the blue and green and sometimes red are so dark they look black or dark brown. I dont dip dye, I use either a dauber or a clean rag. Any thoughts or ideas. My email in in records as a customer.
Hi Brian,
We'll send you an email 👍
👍
The links to the patterns do not work anymore, is there a way to access them still?
leather assassins toolkit ;)
Can you use veg tan 3 or 4 wt instead of pines milled
Yes, you definitely can! It won't roll quite as easily but with some time and use it will be just fine!
@@WeaverLeatherSupply thank you
I thought chrome leather shouldn’t be used to store metal tools. Is this okay?
Hi Joshua,
You’re exactly right. Chromes can tarnish metals. In this instance we could go with a veg, and with molding do a very cool pouch but, it just wouldn’t roll well.

Where do i buy a skyver for my laeather edges....
?
A beveler?
Hi Margie,
Are you wanting to thin the leather edges for rolling the edge or thinning the edges of a wallet pocket?
If so, you can use our flat leather knife to skive down the edge. We'll link it below for you.
www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-2864/flat-leather-knife/pr_60362
We also have a hand skiver that you can shave down the leather with: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/cso925/skife-knife/pr_15004
Very good, but no notification from CZcams
Not sure why it didn't send any notifications, it took a while to load so might've been a CZcams glitch or something.
where can I get dimensions?

Why make the knot on the inside of the pockets, as opposed to making the knot on the backside of the pocket?
The knot will be hidden either way, so why not make it where it is easily accessible?
You can do either way - depending on what you store in those side pockets it could catch on the knot so that's why i tucked it in the seam of the pocket. That puts it completely out of site and nothing will get caught on it.
@@WeaverLeatherSupply
"depending on what you store in those side pockets it could catch on the knot"
I don't think you understood what I was saying.
If the knot was on the backside of the pocket, then nothing would ever come in contact with the knot. You wouldn't even need to bother tucking the knot into a seam doing it that way.
How could I do this for wrenches?
Hi Sean,
I might say go with a heavier weight natural veg (5/6 oz. maybe or a 6/7 oz. for heavier wrenches) and wet mold the inside pockets to the wrenches. That weight wouldn’t roll as easily as a lighter weight but it will have some good body, good protection for the tools and it will soften up nicely with a little use.
What leather thickness is he using?
Hi there,
This is 3-4 oz. leather

I'm confused I thought you werent supposed to use chrome on tools?
