I like that...
It was had catching it at first, then you repositioned the camera... Thank you 🙏
I watched half a dozen videos showing different stitches and this was the first one that seemed to explain this stitch in a clear, simple and easily understood way. Bravo good sir.
Thank you so much! I’m glad it helped. Don’t forget to sub so you don’t miss out on my upcoming giveaway
Something about stitched leather…Im such a FAN
The look, smell, feel. 💯 ❤
Will, as usual a really clear demonstration. The best yet that I've seen around. Always thankful for you
hey that's one of the ways I do my shoelaces, except for the beginning and end.
This was the best tutorial. It was easy to follow, I liked the background music and it wasn’t too loud.
Reminded me of the Trailer Park Boys theme song
OLD Leather Smith here, very nice I believe the beginner should be able 2 follow easily. 2 me it looks like the Baseball stitche backwards, just my opinion. Still a nice touch. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Your work is beautiful and you explain it so well.
Thank you.
beautiful work - thanks for taking time to show how it is done
Nice, simple explanation. Wonderful.
Thank you, I have been struggling with this, I appreciate your efforts to help us on this, keep it up
Great instructions found it very easy to follow thank you
Thank you for your very useful and informative video. Best.
Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful work brutha 💯 it look absolutely stunning
Hello & Thanks for sharing.
Only Please if you can move your hands from camera so we can see what you are sharing, the camera should be on top so clearly every step we can see but now after ))
Thank you and Great Video! I Love it!
Thank you very much Will!!
Beautiful job, brother!
Very nicely done!
Thankyou ,Sir!! Very good information! Everything good for you!! 👌👍☺️✌️🙏🌻
Great job. Thanks.
So informative, and relaxing LOL, dude this is great. Other tutorials don’t give as good close-ups and they never stop talking.🙄
The little that you speak is clear and meaningful. Cheers! Liked & sub.
Sir, you make a incredible job. Congrats, from Brasil!
I think he does damn fine work! I have to admit that I'm having trouble following him, but I'm sure it's because the screen is too small.
Great video & beautiful work. Looking forward to trying this. Could you perhaps provide a link the the hammer you were using to flatten the stitches at 9:30?
Great result. Any thoughts on doing a round prick vs. the angled one you used?
Tats a really cool stich tanks for sharing 👍
Greetings from Brazil 👊
Desde Bogotá Colombia. Muchas gracias es una puntada muy linda.
This is a good one! I like it more than the baseball stitch.
Me too, it’s my favourite stitch
Great video
New subscriber ~ ❤this very interesting stitch!!
nice one i do like that good video👍👍
This was nice
I like the hammer, can you let us know more about it? Thank you sire for this tutorial
Hi may i know the exact needle size?
thank you for this amazing tutorial.
Nice job! If you cross-loop them in the last hole twice you don't need any white glue which gives a little stain.
That’s true, part of the reason for using the white glue was to demonstrate how to secure this type of thread. But you’re right that would also have worked well!
Left over right nice.
Like the USN shoe lacing pattern left over right or, you are out of uniform.
I wonder if this shape of hole is really optimal for this stitch due to the direction of the pull... But then again the stitch won't be under so much pressure to actually tear through 😅
Ok but how did you get the circumference of the leather perfect around the handle?
5:30 cat jump scare
Is there any particular reason you started at the bottom of the handle and not the top? Or does it not matter?
How does this differ from a baseball stitch?
...maybe put a pad on the axe? Removing the clanking sound?
What length thread do you need to cut for this stitch? 4x? 6x?
I do 7 to 8x. I do the same double loop as the start on the end except end on the backside and tie a hidden knot
You get it so close,,, i have to work on that skill,,, mine dosnt look uniform
👏
It was not clear what was happening when you were looping the first hole.
How much thread do I need to start with?
I’d suggest 4-5x the length of the stitching run so you don’t run out
1:58 to 1:59 the stitch changed, what I miss?
happens twice - how can we understand whats going on when the beginning just 'happens'
Its "across from" not parallel 😀
Except why does no one tell you how much thread to cut? Went with the ol’ triple the length of your work advice and still ran out😑
Depends on several factors but for something like this, go with 4-5x. I’m thinking about doing a video on thread cutting length
You can calculate it just putting the leather edges together and see the distance from one hole to a hole on the opposite side (add leather thickness too), then multiply that by the total number of holes and add some extra buffer.
Sound is very low.
I know, I am deaf and struggle with sound editing
This is a super helpful video but it is harshing my vibe that youtube leatherworkers don't use thimbles?! My brother in skin, stop tearing your precious fingers up and get a thimble!
Thimbles are not really used in leatherwork even off CZcams
@@WillHodges That's exactly what someone conspiring to encourage novice crafters into stabbing themselves with needles would say. Suspicious.
For reals though, if you don't use one you should give it a whirl, they improve accuracy and reduce hand fatigue if you're doing a lot of stitches, plus you'll never slip and accidentally delaminate your own fingernail whilst pushing a needle through.
can't see what you're doing with your hands in the way
How😂
using glue is cheat
How?
Video too dark
Не фонтан не видно не понятно 👎
promosm
Sorry, I don’t understand
Tough to see what's going in with your hand in the way.
Thanks for your feedback, hard to do this without using your hands though 😂
@@WillHodges I totally understand. 👍😃
Poor tutorial. Second needle appears out of the blue without explanation. No demo on threading up. 2/10
Do you need help threading a needle?
I don’t think it’s his fault you have a poor understanding of basic stitching
This is a slightly advanced stitch method, you should be familiar and comfortable with basic stitch techniques before progressing to this method.
The Art of Hand Stitching by Al Stohlman is a great book to learn from.
It teaches things like needle threading, the science behind hand stitching, thread length, needle choice, the classic saddle stitch and beyond.
Hope this helps in your future journey in learning this craft.
You stitch leather with two needles. That’s like asking someone to explain how he cut that leather without explaining it.
