Me too!

Hi Gordie, just ordered my first hide and I'm learning so much from you!! Great videos!

Great video! I will definitely try and make one. Also, fun fact: at 16:31 it looks like a moth head is appearing to teach us the way of the leather

Welcome back Geordie. Missed you. Another stellar instructional video. I was always curious about pouch construction. Hence, I learned a lot through this video. Thanks again, and enjoy the java.

I am just getting started in the leather hobby and it is mostly due to your videos. This bag is made using "pig leather". I am in the US and while looking for this material there seems to be 4 groups of pig leather. Suede, lining, nappa and split. Which one are you using and if you have a moment can you describe the differences?

Hi. I used Nappa for this pouch, but any type will do. The different types refer to the cut (layers) of the leather. Leather is split into layers - the top surface is the best, the others are just different, courser layers below the top layer.

Welcome back, that cup of coffee was a good idea, and I have entered the competition.

Hi Geordie! Glad you're back! Very nice to see that you're selling leather tools and more on your website! I saw that your selling skiving knife with ceramic blade... I'm curious about that... Do you own one? Have you tried it?

Yes. They cost more but they hold their edge a lot longer and just need an occasional hone.

Thank you so much for this video. I made the pouch by following your instruction and as you said it did not take much time to make one until I got to the point where I installed eyelets. I could not make holes like you did. First I used a Tandy Leather rotary hole punch. Then I used Arbor press attached a hole maker that came with eyelet kit but it did not work neither. so I had to use a knife to make 8 holes which took me for a while. The weight for the leather that I used is about 3 to 4 oz. suede leather. Is there any other tool that make holes easier? Although it took for a while to make the pouch, the end product looks pretty good. I just need to find a way to make 8 holes quicker.

There are a multitude of tools available for making holes. But, as you have an arbor press, just by a round cutting die of the size you need and press it with your arbor press to punch perfect holes in leather.

I really dislike the idea of using a sewing machine. I can understand why some people do, but I guess I'm just a stubborn traditionalist who only wants to stitch by hand. I suppose if it comes down to it, I may have to cave in and get a sewing machine if I plan to sell small goods at a higher volume. I understand that time is money, but I also know that a saddle stitch is much better than a sewing machine's lock stitch. Thanks for the video! I'm glad you're back and doing well!

Yes, I agree, hand stitching is superior. But if you are earning a living from making leather goods, you have to be realistic when it comes to making low-value goods like the pouch. If it takes you three hours to stitch it and you are selling it for £20, you would be working for less than minimum wage. Thanks.
