Sharing a TOP SECRET Leather Craft Trick (and more!)
We've never done a leather crafting tips and tricks video, so we decided to start with an assortment of random little tips and one BIG trick! You've probably heard us mention mosts of these tips in previous movies, but we decided to put them all together and end the video with one of our top secret techniques to make some super cool embossed products using cutting dies. We use Weaver's custom die shop to make our dies in tandem with custom stamps sourced from various places. Hope you get some new tips and tricks from this one to use in your own work!
How to leather shop, thickness of leather and the uses of various leather thickness. That would be awesome.
Learning to do things like cut a straight line, stitch straight lines free hand, draw a circle freehand, evenly space stitches over several feet freeehand are all basics of the trade that impress other people but are required right at the beginning of your career. I’m glad you mentioned it.
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, great job Eric, even though I only do 1 project at a time it's still Interesting 2 C, U have given me an idea thank you, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
❤❤ stunning. Need some advise on inserting rivets, eyelets & press studs, manually.
There's nothing more satisfying than coming up with a faster way to get something done without sacrificing any quality. I LOVE the process.
I would like to see more videos like that, its really informative, motivational and meaningful for starter leathercrafters like me
Couldn't agree more :)
Im just getting started in leather but ive spent time in a machine shop. I think it will help down the road with this type of thinking and problem solving. Top notch clarity. Thanxs
This was a great explanation, thank you. I would love to see a tips and tricks video about rivet setting
I have wondered about your 3 dot technique for making a straight line for the past year. It does make perfect sense! Thank you for adding to my arsenal of awesome tricks and tips for all kinds of making. This is the best leather channel on youtube and one of my favorite channels of all time.
This must be something that only working with leather or maybe fabric makes since. I have not heard of it in carpentry. The only time you would use more than 2 points of reference is if the material was longer than the straight edge you are using. If your leading edge is straight the all marks should be the same distance. If not you need to learn how to mark better.
Great tips. For peeps on a tight budget, Harbor freight sells pretty nice rubberized deadening hammers in a variety of weights for about five dollars. Not quite the same but for the price it works pretty well and keeps the tool from bouncing on the leather/punch
Totally agree on start on the basis tool. Because when the technology go down, we can always go back to the basics . Back to the roots. Awesome video!!!
The outline on the stamp design is shear genius. Self centering. Very smart. Another reason I like this channel. Where did you get your #2 blade handle? The #1 handle with the #11 blades are too light and flimsy for leather. They bend and give too much.
This is Anil Dwivedi from India,
I'm a fan of you!!
"Use the grid on your cutting board" - great tip, really saves me time! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I've learned a ton from your channel.
Love that stamp first cut after technique. Fantastic repeatability.
Thank you. Production efficiently with little waste. Your tip will help me as well as other newbies keep the profit line above water. I look forward to further tips.
You always have the best tips and you’re a pleasure to listen to and learn from! A BIG THANK YOU from the East Coast! 😊
This is so awesome! I just became a leather worker so I'm obsessed with all of these videos!
I absolutely loved the art class story! What a cool life lesson and way to view things.
The best channel for leather crafters !!!
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Brazil.
Please do more of these! So much good info...
Great video
Just started in leather crafting, and your channel was one of the main influences that gave me the itch! Thank you! Having fun so far tinkering in my shop. The free patterns make it easy to get started, and the quick success of good looking projects has me hooked on the hobby.
Thanks for sharing! This was really interesting and I definitely learned some things.
Good on ya ! Thanks for sharing
Wow. This was very educational. Thank you for sharing
Keep up with the tips. I hate my job and I’ve been working there for 35 years. I want to retire but our retirement won’t cover the cost of living. I want to take my inventory to craft fairs and supplement my income. Your tips helps, a lot
Thank you for helping me by making all your videos you explain things very well nice and very kind you seem to be a as a person thank you once again
what a great set of tips! Thank you!!
Really enjoy your videos. I never walk away without learning something new 😉
Great idea and thanks for sharing insights and wisdom .
Really helpful & excellent explanation for beginners, I have learned many tips thanks again, & especially about the time.
Thanks ! Pure common sense but taken to a really useful technique and really well explained too.
Thanks for the tips! Awesome video as usual. I did see another comment about snaps, eyelets and rivets. I struggle with all of that - finding the right tool, product and making it look nice. Tips there would be awesome
Gracias por compartir tus enseñanzas , maestro!
Thanks! Your tips on stamping and cutting (@8+ mins) 😍
Great tips/tricks...thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you for the nice tips and tricks. - Greetings to both of you.
I love your videos - clear, relaxed but still efficient. You're a great teacher. Could you please share tips on sharpening EDGE BEVELLERS? Also, how do you protect and FINISH your NATURAL VEG TAN leathers? When burnishing edges its hard not to get overspill of whatever you're using onto grain side.
Very great tips! I enjoyed watching
Great video!! Thank you!!
Great tips Eric. Thanks! Just formed my Leathercraft business last year. Tips like this have really helped me along the way! Steve Simpson of Simpco Leathercraft. Thanks again!
Pls
Easy way to install zipper to a vertical wallet all around
That's amazing, thankyou so much for lesson 🙏🏻
Thank you. I'm a complete beginner and starting to plan to make some simple stamping projects
Thank you for the great video.
Thank you sir for this beautiful video and for sharing your secrets.
I have just bought a starter set for leathercraft and a bag of 500 g of scrap leather to test it. I like your videos and in an age of 51 and 25 years of professional software developer I can see my self make leatherthings to sell :) I like that it dont take a lot of space and tools to get started...
The Corter Pounder. Lol. I love it.
This is great, thank you!
Sure enjoy watching and learning …now to get a kit!
Tip: I've found that the 8.5/11 cardstock can be used in a 4 in 1 inkjet printer.
Im doing moccasins, so I start with a foot tracing, build out the sole, then design the upper around it. I can do all the design work on regular paper, then put it into the copier part of the printer and print off multiple copies on cardstock.
One to keep as the original, one to cut out the sole, one to cut out the upper. Then if I need to remake anything, I can pull the original and run another copy off on cardstock.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video. You make such a good point on learning to do everything by hand first. I only make some things here and there as a hobby and I still have to practice a lot. Sometimes when I'm cutting I wish I had a dye (and a press xD), but I know I won't be getting that anytime soon, so I keep on cutting :).
Yes Iris, that was a good point he made about learning to cut shapes yourself. Saw the cost of laser cutters & said guess it's old school for me! Glad I learned.
Thank you! Great video! Please if you can next video about snaps, rivets, eyelets!!!!
Very good info!
Thank you! Very useful ☑️ Greetings from Bolivia
Great tips, thank you
I'ld love a video about "how to start selling, and building up your own shop"
I do know, you made a video about design and pricing your leather goods. So this could be like part 3...
Hope you see this. Great content 💯
Stock & Barrel Leathercraft offer this, not free but would probably quickly pay for itself in time saved and mistakes avoided.
Get yun’s to a steel yard and get a piece of 1/4” flat steel bar, then hit up Lowe’s for the sticky backed nonslip rubber pad for furniture and where it to the back of the steel bar. For pattern or material weight 1/2” and 3/4” bar stock is great. Cut it to whatever size you need.
Brilliant. Many thanks!
Thankyou for sharing 👍😎💖
Brilliant vid!
Thank you very much master 🙏
Good luck !
Excellent -- very informative!
Stack like four of the stamps reversing end to end in one big rectangle stamp, do the same for the cutting die. Now you can press FOUR tags at the same time, now you can do a thousand in a few hours! That’s automation folks. Now that you can handle 5,000 item orders in a few days, you can afford a pneumatic press that can hold 800 at a time…. Now your biggest time hang up is not being able to load the machine fast enough…. Now you need an employee to help… oh god, I just wanted to make keychains…
This is great for us hobbiests
Soooo interesting. Thank you!
Very nice presentation
Wow it's really useful Thanks
Same as my high school shop class. You had to be proficient with hand tools before you were allowed to use power tools.
If you are new to crafting like i am know that weaver leather supply will send you samples of leather. And if you are just getting started you can buy the belly cut for cheap and learn everything Corter Leather talks about. Weaver is sending me samples of the 3 weights that are currently available to buy in bellys. This way i will have a very good idea what oz weight i want to try to work with.
Really useful little tips
I want to have my own leather business. You inspire me to do professional leather work while in mass production while maintaining quality.
How's it going Tim?
I got injured in a car accident, doing leather work to keep my mind off of nit having money or even a job. The extent of my injuries broken leg and foot: hardware in my foot and a titanium rid in my leg from the knee to the ankle. Just got done creating a leather bifold with 3 Italian leathers. Cant make money every way I go. You?
Great video! Just found out that I might be interested in learning this craft.
Short question from a person with no experience in this field: is there an argument against making a stamp, that can cut und print a logo at the same time?
Thanks and best wishes from switzerland :)
This is most awesome!
nice press!!
I appreciate your comments about hand cutting vs things like a laser. I have a laser but feels too automated and makes a lot of extra work on removing edge burning and charring. Using the laser also takes the claim of handmade off the table. I like working with leather because I handmake my items. If i were in business it may be different and I would take the handmade label off the table.
Fantastic,your work, congrats
Yup my HS art teacher made us use different styles and mediums in the advanced classes. It made me much better.
Your videos are awesome I'm planning to get into the crafts found a starter set but unsure about types of leather and linings to find.
Thank you so much!
Save money on plastic for patterns, I use place mats from the dollar store
thanks you for your sharing
So helpful.
Great Video. What would you say is the best design software for making patterns for leatherwork?
Maybe something I need to save up for, dies and stamps.... (I live on the road and make short run individual items, selling the uniqueness of each thing, it, I'd love the ability to create larger quantities in short time...of course, I see to decide what it would be that I would make/sell in quantity!) Thanks for the video
Awesome ! Thanx !
Thank you sir because share what a brilliant idea for the way you cut the leather. It's so useful for me, as a new lover craft leather. It's so difficult to learn leather craft at malaysia... for a long time I try to find a teacher, to learn more important about leather craft. Hope you can teach who's like me, want to learn about that.
:from the old man it's me.
Sorry my word not so good. I'm poor to speak English.
Love your classes, but this one about printing patterns works only with smaller projects. I work with bags at least 14” wide, so have to make my own patterns by hand. Thanks for all the tips!
cool..thanks.. helps a lot!
Thank you for sharing your craft and skills, I know you are an educator, with your instruction you also challenge the listener to stretch their skill knowledge and ability by following the basics and quickening those skills with wise tool choices.😲🙏🤙🌀 Awesome. Liked and subscribed 👍🏻
Minimum 3 dot hint is very helpful.
Good stuff
Didn't even think of Cork Backed! Thank you!!!
I smear some glue at the back of the ruler
Hey bros, just like corter says, it takes three dots to make a straight line, there is another level that everyone should know, because it's the reason so many of the modern marvels we take for granted rest upon. Here it is: any plane shared by three objects is absolutely, mathematically, *transcendentally* flat. So if you grind two rocks until they share a plane (that is flat), then grind those two rocks on another until all three share that plane, it is perfectly flat.
This marvel of flatness arose in the early age of aeronautics, when precision unlike anything prior was necessary. If you're into this and want more information, just watch the youtube vid called "the origins of precision". It'll totally change the way you look at the world.
Thank you.
Подскажите пожалуйста, из какого материала у вас плита, на которой пробиваете строчными пробойниками?
