- Cutting into a new side of Herman Oak Leather can be intimidating if you don’t know where to start. This is my process for cutting belt blanks. For blanks, liners, and other crafter supplies follow this link: twentythreeplus.com/collectio...

gotta love cutting into a new side
Respect your method sir , I'm a round knife user and a cs osborn draw gage man but always interested in the modern way. Hows that go " many ways to skin a cat"
Bummed I missed the live! Hey Joe, can you do a video on the difference between Barry King tools and craftool
It was explained to me at the Tandy store that when you buy tools, take a close look at the stamp/tool end. Some cheaper manufacturers will weld on the stamp, they may use cheaper steel, and the stamp themselves may not be as sharp to provide a nice impression; check out knurling, if there is not enough, your hands may slip down and if the diameter is too small it may be too tiring to hold on to. Also, considering how many times you will hammer on it, you'll want to make sure it doesn't bend or break in the middle of your project. Barry King tools are just better -- expensive, yes, but just better! :)
Thank you! This is a great bit of information thank you! Question for you. Using a 4/6 oz hide where would the key tooling leathers be for say wallet backs? Thanks!
Anywhere other than the belly will work fine. For me, the back and butt typically get used in belt and strap goods so things like wallets wind up coming from the shoulder.
@@joemeling3216 thanks much! I just watched your video on the cuts of leather that helped a ton also! Thank you for the weaver 10%! They are my go to for most of everything! Thanks much!
Thanks Joe. Where in the hide do you stop for belt blanks? How many blanks would you get from that hide?
I average about 12 blanks per side. Some only 10 and occasionally up to 15. I stop before it gets “flanky” or soft down towards the belly.
What is the material on top of the table and where do you get it?
Haha, I know that is leather but I’m talking about the white material that looks like it protects your knife blade
It appears to be the same type of material used on kitchen cutting boards. HPDE plastic, I think? I read somewhere you can go to a manufacturer and order sheets of it with different thicknesses.
I found a product called Rhino cutting mat 4x8 ft for $120
Where did you get your long straight edge
If you are in the U.S., I got a similar one at Home Depot. Lowes should also have it.
@@pequodexpress yes I hoe all mine from home depot.. 1", 1.5" and my 2"
