Gottttcha. So true.

Got your supplies from Tandy Leather I see. I can probably name you every tool on that bench. Can even quote you some of the part numbers off the top of my head. Alec you did not put any kind of conditioning or a finish on that leather. After water forming you might notice the leather is a bit stiff. That's because the dye and the water forming has dried out the leather a little. A little bit of Mink oil or Neatsfoot oil (not neatsfoot compound. Get the pure stuff) will fix that right up. Also. A good finish will prevent the dye from staining your pants if you ever get caught out in the rain and it gets wet. I recommend Leather Balm with Atom Wax. That will give you a nice finish protective coating but still be pliable and not too shinny.

Specter Ranger lol. Actually. You're not entirely wrong. Any moisture will cause unsealed dyes to bleed at first. It takes a few months before any excess dye is really out. Sealing it in tho should fix that problem . immediately

Hey Alec, Leatherworker here, as you might have seen, vegtan takes stains very easily so try and keep your leather station and your hands as clean as possible while working the stuff. Also sharp tools are key, it save you tons of work. a good leather cutting knife has a very thin blade geometry and is shaving sharp. Saves you a bunch of time on finishing everything. And percussion stamps work great however I have found clamping stamps gives a better result. For dyeing I have a few tips: 1 try using makeup removal pads they work a 1000 times better than any sponges I have ever used 2 if you want a smooth dye job in one color, try wetting down the leather first, it will help it flow more evenly 3 also dye your sides properly it will help you when you get around to burnishing the edges. and about burnishing ^^ allot of elbow grease works but lets work smarter not harder. might you have some carnuba wax and some fabric that will not stain your work use that to prework you edges and than finish up with a smooth piece of wood, or dense plastic it will save you tons of time if you dont have a power burnisher. Also finish wise, you might want to finish it with some carnuba wax and than some Sheen or Super Sheen. It helps seal in the dye so it is less likely to bleed into you clothing while in use. Hope that helps brother and welcome to the Leather medium XD Cheers Love your videos

Hi, I am looking to get. into leather crafting. Where is the best place to by tools and which tools am I gonna need?

You could have rounded the corners a bit and burnished the edges to make it last longer. It's also easier if you align the individual pieces to make the holes for the stitches instead of doing them twice. They'll also fit perfectly that way. Make a swordbelt next, the thick leather will be perfect for it. Forge a nice ring for it instead of using a buckle.

Alec, how about posting the shopping list for the starter leather working kit you purchased and where you got it. Thanks!!

Burnishing makes the edges look slick and makes it look much more professional. What you're doing is mashing down the loose fibers. Yes it will keep the edges from fraying but leather is so robust it will just give it a rustic look. The leather is much more likely to dry rot from a lack of conditioning than to fall apart from the edges in.

you like it cuz its slightly more malleable than a god-forsaken brick of solid iron that needs the flames of hades to even bend a little.

Great job! I see people recommending you burnish your edges which is good, but the advice I would share with you is this. When cutting your thread, take it and pull it across your stitching area and then cut a piece 3 to 4 times the length. You will almost always have extra but I can also say you won't run out. My teacher always said "thread is cheap".

Rough rule of thumb for stitching - measure the total length you need to stitch and multiply by 4 to get the length of waxed thread to use. I usually add a few inches to account for the thread lock bhfind the needle. Watch out, Alec, leatherworking is addictive!

Also didn't deglaze the leather. Helps it take dye better and dye while its wet. It provides a more even dye, and a top coat to finish the leather. After burnishing the edge you can use edge flex, and it smooths and protects it. Look up weaver leather crafts channel he has some awsome tutorials and info as well.

Self healing or no, you should keep a wood block (soft as possible, pine or something) around so your leather cutting mat is usable for as long as possible.

To get your correct length of thread for stitching, take the thread and measure around the border of what your stitching and do 4 and a half to 5 times the length of that measurement around the border.

Really I have never had too much trouble with whips but I am a leather worker and I have some years of experience under my belt! But for a beginner probably not a great idea!!

I started doing leather craft right around when I started watching your channel (2 years). It's really fun to see you try out leather work since it accompanies blacksmithing so well. I'd love to see separate sheath builds for the swords and knives you make occasionally. And if I could give one tip for the two years I've been working with leather it would be patience. Every little mishap or mistake shows heavily in leather work and there is no time constraint like there is with steel. With that said, the wallet is really great for your first solo project and it's a ton of fun to watch you enjoy the craft I love so much!

Alex, you legend! Welcome to leatherworking. Sheaths for everything from now on! MAKE A SHEATH FOR YOUR BATTLE ACE. FORGE COPPER RIVETS AND RIVET IT TOGETHER. A tip, clamp a steel ruler either side of the wallet in the clamp to hold the floppy top half out of your way whilst stitching.

if anyone is on the fence about honey, definitely try it out. it has actually saved me like $100 already and I just got it a couple months ago. plus you're supporting this awesome guy right here. so its entirely worth it. especially because its free.

Long time listener first time caller. Tip for stitching. You can get a stitching groover which works just like you did with the calliper except it cuts a little groove for the thread to sit in. This helps prevent the thread from wearing and ultimately breaking as it sits flush with the leather instead of proud.

Little tip for guessing how much thread you need on a saddle stitch. Take your piece that you're stitching and run the thread along side the stitch marks. Then double back along the stitch marks till you make it back to the start of them. Then add in about 6 to 12 inches, depending on confidence. You'll need the little extra bit to stitch back and make a good friction fit for the ends, and it can be tricky to feed the needles through when you run low on thread. Also it never hurts to have a little extra, just in case you skipped a corner or something.

Stellar use of the kiridashi, dude! Awesome to see you using the kick-butt stuff you've made on new projects!
