I often use antique intentionally on the flesh side of the leather to help seal it. It's especially helpful with lower quality veg tans from "The Competition"
Thanks for replying to my question. I have an up coming project to make a knife sheath for a hand made knife with, I'm not sure what kind of handle, but it some kind of goat looking handle. And why I'm thinking it needs a black cherry sheath, I'm not sure, but I "think" it would look awesome! Again, thanks for the information, I will give it a try and see how it could turn out! So to Chuck and all of the folks at Weaver Leather, I wish you all a blessed and Awesome day!
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, Great ideas Chuck Thank you, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Chuck your video's have brought my craft further and faster along than I thought possible, Thank you so much. I looking for tips on skiving and the tools to do it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again...JC
I've been using coins to emboss leather. Use a C-clamp and a coin with a hole in the middle (50 Yen) and it makes a fun makers mark.
Very cool! Thanks for the tip
Thank You Chuck for the Great Tips!!!
Leaning a lot from your videos. Thank for taking the time to do these . 🔥
Glad to hear it! Thank you, Sean!
I'm a major hoarder of plastic bins and tubs. Scrap leather, dye bottles, dip dye, anything you can think of, plastic tubs are good for.
Good information Chuck. I've learned a great deal from watching your tips and tricks. Keep them coming.
Thank you, Martin!
Going to have to try the painter's tape on the back of the leather. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Chuck! G
I think I suggested a video like this last week so I'm going to go on I played a role in this upload
Great vid too
Office file metal binder clamps help me keep stitch lines straight and come in many sizes and some scrap leather on the metal makes no marks.
Great tips! Thanks for another helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips! Thanks!
Old manila file folders also work well, there thick and if your like me you have a lot of used ones, there perfect for patterns, I have glued them together with all purpose glue sticks to make larger patterns, it sets fas and holds really good. Great tips and tricks! keep it coming!
Thanks for the tip!
Nice advices, Chuck, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Good ideas, thanks
Great tips and ideas.......
Thanks for watching!
I just ordered a pool cue. Could you please do a video on making a custom pool cue case? That would be amazing
Chuck i love your videos. if i am having issues my first stop for answers is the Weaver videos ... so i have to replace my ultra classics saddle the current one is pleather and sun damaged (i live in nevada) so i am thinking tooling a cool design and then wet forming the leather to the old seat. any advise on techniques materials and protection... i do like the way that brown Buffalo looked on the strap cutter video but if there is a beter weight or type I'm all ears
can you do a video on dye's, top coats, leather preparer deglazer, edge finishes and how to use
If you sand the back of your pattern sheets lightly, it will have just enough grip not to move as you draw around your pattern
ooh, I'm trying that this weekend, thanks for that tip!
I asked this question the other day in the live chat. I'm having trouble making a pair of moccasin. I'm not fully understanding how to go from 1" at the toe to 2" on the sides from my footprint. Any suggestions to help me with this?
Hi Chuck I ordered button snaps and rivets from you for my projects could you send a singed scratch all would be cheiresh thank you God bless you. I remember that birthday. From Glenn CATT.
Hey Chuck! I have a question that I haven´t seen before on your chanel... Is there any way to dilute pro dye? I just bought Roayl Blue color and I added leather balm to dyed leather as a finish. It turned a bit too dark for me. I would like to get more brighter colors after finishing a leather. Saddle Lac might keep it lighter but wouldn´t like to use it because it needs a good ventilation.
Hi there,
we would recommend Fiebing's Dye Reducer, this is made specifically for Fiebing's products. Hope that helps!
Hey Chuck, Can you mix Red and black leather dyes, to make a black cherry dye? Or will dyes not mix?
Hi James,
Dyes can be mixed - you just have to play around a bit to get the ratio you are looking for! I have not tried mixing red and black but it sounds pretty cool!
I'm a beginner and maybe my question is silly ... How these wooden molds can be used?

Useful for wet molding leather to take a shape.
Here are a few videos on wet molding:
