    Hand Sewn Leather Watch Strap Tutorial (Follow Along!)
    In this leather craft tutorial we walk you step-by-step through making your own fully sewn leather watch strap. We size the band to the watch, line the band with soft vachetta, and saddle stitch everything together sharing tips and tricks along the way. So many of you made your own simple stitchless watch band with our last tutorial we had to get a little fancier! Happy Crafting :)

    I'm still a beginner so I am wondering what oz leather you use for this. So many creators make these videos without mentioning what weight or oz leather they are using.

    Thank you for this video, I’ve got my late grandfather’s old watch which has a broken strap, it’s a cheap standard watch and nothing fancy, but I’d like to wear it myself as he left it as my inheritance. By making the watch strap myself, hopefully he’ll approve, being a very resourceful and handy man himself. Remember, tell your near and dear that you love them, tomorrow may be too late!

    • @dnlgw
      @dnlgw Před 2 lety

      but NATO and Leather is just 2 different spectrum, NATO straps were used because they’re waterproof and simple, contrary to leather that needs more caring and not suitable for hard environment, contrary to what a NATO strap is for

  • @ebluegrass
    @ebluegrass Před 2 dny

    I have thoroughly enjoyed your strap making videos, sir. I've tried making some with an old belt. I also bought a piece of leather that is about 2.5 mm thick, and when I tried to put spring bars in and install into a watch, it seems the leather is way too thick. Am I missing something, or should I be getting thinner leather? When you use a liner, how thick is it? Thanks for any insight here. Keep up the great content!

      If you are not able to find it… perhaps you could recycle a very lightweight give-away backpack (the kind you are given by a company at a trade show) and make it double stick with the rubber cement glue… it’s what I plan on doing for the handles of a really nice purse I’ve got.

    Still love your videos for the pure simplicity of the recording while also showing everything important in a great way (if that makes sense).
    Ive made a few watch straps as well, some of them so nice, that im confidently saying this isn't far off from very professional watch strap makers, some not very well... Probably due to different types of leather that were not really well suited for watch straps.
    Though what I've encountered almost all of the time (and can't get my head around it why that is), that the stitch line on the left is just a tiny bit shifted to the inside of the strap Than the left stitch line. Ive used the exakt same divider space and so on but can't get it to be perfectly even on both sides.

    I love the video. Great instructional video. The constant creaking of leather (added in post i'm sure as there is no leather moving when the sound occurs) is distracting to the point that I had to turn off sound and turn on the subtitles only. Great video and saved for later projects!
