First off thanks for taking the time to make these videos. I learn so much from your techniques. Secondly, thanks for not putting generic music or for that case any music over this video. Its nice to hear the sounds the material makes when you're manipulated it. No music helps me focus on what your doing. Keep up the outstanding work sir, rock on! \m/
Thanks for the comment, this is the first video I've not had music on and the reason is it's stops people claiming copyright I've had to remove a few of my videos in the past because of this, atb John.
Well that stinks. For what its worth I actually have a home studio and make all kinds of music. I have a song you may use that may fit your style. look up soundcloud.com/crazyhorsemusx and find the song titled "acoustic song 2" if you think you can use it or any other songs on there by all means have at it.
Though I don't know much about leather working I am still able to appreciate the work of a professional. It's people like you who take craft to another level for everyone to enjoy. This education that you is also a form of charity.
Thanks for the comment, the thing with working with leather is taking your time I find it relaxing, I love to watch your videos too I find them very entertaining, atb John.
Best advice ever. Take your time. I used to rush all the stages. Now I wait for ever to let glue set, or dye to dry, or oil to soak in, or whatever. The difference is amazing if you just take your time. Do other stuff, read a book, watch a movie, go on a date. Do anything but touch your leather. Each stage benefits enormously by leaving it for a while. Thanks John for all your work. What is that glue you use in that homemade glue dispenser??
Thanks Robert I'm ok hope your keeping well I had my date for my operation it's on the 22nd Nov so not going to be doing much for a few months after that, not looking forward to it and it looks like I'll sucking my Xmass diner up through a straw lol, atb John.
Hey John, ive been struggling, to find a finish i like! i mainly use fiebings pro oil dyes, can i ask what you heated up? also hope your recovering from your operation well! ATB Kev
Love the video. Can you list... Leather weight/thickness Dye brand & color Glue brands & types Other leather treatments (ie oils, conditioners, etc) Buffing brushes. Thanks!
Just watched this again and saw mistakes I made with my sheath. It would be helpful if we had a description of what you are doing or to be able to see what those potions you're using on the leather are.This is in no way a critique just a search for knowledge. Again thank you again for taking the time to make these videos. B
New to this and your work is inspiring. I'm planning on making various styles of knife sheaths (and some with pouches on them), pouches, mabe a few other odds and ends like western hat bands, etc. One of the things I don't know is: What is the fastener you use for the pouch flap called (that keeps it in the closed position)? Beautiful work and very informative!
It's Neatsfoot oil it's good for the leather if you get some make sure you get the pure and not the compound it's better it feeds the leather and makes it supple they also use it on horse's legs, hope this helps, atb John.
Great work John and thanks for posting these videos. Can you tell me why you use two different types of glue? The one that you brushed on looked like contact adhesive and the one where you join the front and the back together looked like PVA.
Thanks for the comment, I use PVA glue when I need to move the parts to line them up if you use contact adhesive as soon as they touch they bond but with PVA it gives you a chance to align the parts before it goes off, hope this helps, atb John.
That was Neatsfoot oil feeds the leather the other was Snow-proof a weather proofing wax both very good at protecting the leather from moisture, thanks for your comment, atb John.
The treatment I use for a leather item that will be used outside is first I apply Neatsfoot oil this feeds the leather then I use a product called Snow-Proof which is a wax and very good for leather that is out in all weathers on top of that I use Carnauba crème that is a polish to give the leather a bit of a sine, hope this helps, atb John.
I was interested in this as well. Thanks for the explanation. In your video you rub something on the inside of the pouch that was in a yellow bottle, appeared to be Fiebings. Do you mind if I ask what it was? Carnauba or tan-kote maybe?
That will be Tan-Kote I always use that inside of my pouches and sheaths it seals the leather well and stops water getting into the leather, hope this answers your question, atb John.

Your welcome.
I agree, great video, but a little commentary would have been very helpful! Not sure what all of the liquids being used were.
Добрый день, очень позновательное видео. Интересный прием обработки края. Очень хочется узнать о пропитках.
I learned about raising the strap on the back and not just putting it on flat. Thanks.
very nice work....
im glad to see your movie
john.... i have one question
what kind of leather and thicknees?
Hi it's veg tan shoulder 3-3.5mm thick, hope this answers your question, atb John.
Thank you
beautiful work sir
Thank you.
Quality work......atb
Than you for your comment, atb John.
Other than the dye, what were the other stuff you put on/in the dye. Some times a little talking helps
Thanks.
New to this and your work is inspiring.

Beautiful work and very informative!
That's called a button stud
That helps I made my first pouch today
Great love to see a picture.
Really enjoyed the video. Somewhat new to leather making. What was the liquid that you used before you used your heat gun?
It's Neatsfoot oil it's good for the leather if you get some make sure you get the pure and not the compound it's better it feeds the leather and makes it supple they also use it on horse's legs, hope this helps, atb John.
That is wonderful, I like it. May I ask what glue you were using when attaching the belt loop? Have a nice day, thank you for sharing this
It’s contact adhesive thanks for the comment, atb John
what was the stuff you put on the inside after dying at 4:06?
great work
That is Fiebing's Tan-Kote.
Boa tarde,belo trabalho, parabéns!,
Qual preço?.
O Criador sempre!!!.
Saudações,Paz e Bem!!!...
How much do you get for one of these? thanks
awesome pouch id pay for 2 of those if you re willing to sell them?
Great work John and thanks for posting these videos. Can you tell me why you use two different types of glue? The one that you brushed on looked like contact adhesive and the one where you join the front and the back together looked like PVA.
Thanks for the comment, I use PVA glue when I need to move the parts to line them up if you use contact adhesive as soon as they touch they bond but with PVA it gives you a chance to align the parts before it goes off, hope this helps, atb John.
Thanks for quick reply John. So the other one(with the brush) was contact adhesive?
Yes that's right.
very nice....
thank you, atb John
wow
do you have a video showing your wet molding process?
Part 1 of shows the wet molding process check the video out, thanks for the comment, atb john.
Great! Could you tell me the glue that you use. I presume a contact but i can't find one with that consistence. Thanks
No I use PVA it allows you to move it if you need to.
Oh, thanks. My PVA is white with a creamy consistency. May you tell me the make of yours?
It's all the same I use a cheep brand.
Thanks John
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Que cola é essa que o senhor usa?
do you have pattens, as I'm new to this but love your work
No the pouch is moulded on a wooden block.
Veri nice
Thanks for your comment,atb John.
hey great job.. what is the stuff you put on at 7:38 and 8:05?
That was Neatsfoot oil feeds the leather the other was Snow-proof a weather proofing wax both very good at protecting the leather from moisture, thanks for your comment, atb John.
Good afternoon John, At 4:05 what are you applying? Thank you. Anaco, Anz.
John, Just read the 'comments' and see it was " Fiebing's Tan-Kote".. Thanks, Anaco, Anz.
Can you please tell me what treated the leather with many thanks I enjoy the video

Thanks again for the quick response John, and taking the time to answer it. I wish you the best good sir.
Your welcome.
Great video, but it would have been helpful to know what materials you used
Thanks for your comment, watch my latest videos I go into great detail of what I use,
It would really help if you showed us the name on the containers of the finishes or preservatives you are using.
Hi, Sorry yes your right on some of my later videos I do, thanks for the comment, atb John.
Great! How do you treat the edges on 6:20?
It's called Tokonole burnishing gum you get it from Goodsjapan website, I think it's got PVA in it but it makes a good job of you edges, atb John
