Leather Crafting Tutorials. Mixing ole school with new school leather crafting techniques. Creating simple projects that canmake a lot of money & understanding what your tools/stamps can do.
I keep the videos fun, entertaining as well as informative with what I call "golden nuggets of information."
For a long time, older crafters would not tell their crafting secrets because that is what made them unique from other crafters, unless you spent time working as an apprentice in their shops: the flow of Sheridan scrolls, difference between the 4 styles of the old west, antique dying even how to wet mold leather for that perfect fit.
Now with modern tech & imagination, crafters are now taking that good old boy crafting to the other side of the galaxy, mixing Sheridan design with skulls, using veiners & camo tools to create sugar skulls.
No sir/no ma'am, today's crafters ain't your old Tombstone, Gunsmoke & Bonanza crafters.

Far to much talking and your keeper making is nothing special
glad to see you posting again. hope you have been doing well.
good to see you again hope your doing well
@@veteranleather2718 I am. And you as well. I’m actually about to post another video tomorrow.
You have saved so many craftsman alot of headache! Question I have... Cuttting out the tempales from cardboard so cleanly? Maybe you need to produce in plastic and sell them? Thanks!
Great idea
This was extremely helpful! thank you so much :)
I been racking my brain the past week trying to get this down. My man you just save me a ton and opened my eyes to a easier way
Thanks for following. I always try to make it simple. It took me m months to get the flow right I would always have everything going the same direction.
Incorrect. Baby oil is NOT made from animal fat. Baby oil is a light mineral oil refined from petroleum. Also animal fats contain NO sugars. They are FATS.
Baby oil is mineral oil with scent added (usually sweet tobacco scent.) I would agree that mineral oil is not a good choice for treating finished leather.
Great mines do think alike. Thank you sir for the co-sign.
Robert, good looking out..!
Anytime. Thanks for watching.
Roll Tide (!) - but great video!
Oh NO YOU DIDN’T JUST CURSE ME LIKE THAT😂!! I’m going to start losing subscribers. Thanks for watching.
great idea. i have used temu before, but after watching your video i went and looked and couldnt believe the patterns they have for a tenth of the normal cost. i will be hitting them up again for some new patterns to play with. thanks for the heads up.
Lots of patterns. Anytime.
No offense, but you need to get to the point. Five minutes in and you still have not got to the meat of the point. It's a half hour video, is that necessary to share the info you wanted to share? No one likes long drawn out videos anymore. Viewers want creators to get to the point. All the info you needed to present could have been given in less than 5 minutes. 30 minutes to tell viewers about Temu? 2K subs and 70 views? I bet I can guess why. You seem like a nice guy, but please get to the point. I'm not interested in watching videos a half hour long for 30 seconds of info. Neither are other people bro.
I appreciate your viewpoint, and I think it was a compliment but it’s the same 24 hours it’s been since time was created or being recorded. This may not be the page for you if you’re always in a hurry. Just like leather crafting this is not a “in a hurry or rush industry”. This was live not an edited pre-recorded video. That’s where you missed what I said I won’t go live again for the sake of time. Keep crafting and exercise patience and attention to detail. Racing to the end will only rush your life.
faux is pronounced "foe" rhymes with toe. it means fake .
Thank you. I was pronouncing with my Alabama Country grammar lol.
Good video by the way .
Thanks for the visit. The buckle set, I don’t think you can alter. I may not be fully understanding what you mean, the keeper is too high, but I’m going to go out on a limb anyway. If you’re talking about the gap between the belt and the rise of the keeper that space is to compensate the metal tip passing thru and there’s nothing you can do about that. If you alter that spacing your tip will not pass. Great question.
When you use the buckle sets: buckle, tip and keeper. How do you handle the keeper sticking up too high other than not using the metal keeper?
I agree with the small projects, sometimes sell better. I also make custom jewelry out of vintage silverware, mostly rings and necklaces, but there’s some shows that I’ll sell way more jewelry than even the leather. But it’s just another piece of ammunition in the arsenal that brings in the cheddar.
Exactly!!! You get it. You don’t know who’s in your crowd, what they are looking or not looking for that’s rare, unique, or just completely off the cuff.
Much love brother.
Same to you! Thanks for watching.
I love the content and your style. Please keep up with what you’re doing. Super talented man and that strap looks fresh.
Thank you sir. I’ll do exactly that. Please like and subscribe more videos are coming.
Great video. Im gonna look into making me an oil pan. Question, can i do the pull thru method if i dyed or painted my project?
Great question. The answer is yes. That technique is called “FLASH DYING.” Depending on what type of dye, meaning oil or alcohol based. If using alcohol based flash dying will really dry out your leather, so oil before and after flash dying. Oil based, After.
Absolutley awesome. I would like to have a custom cross body bag made
Yes I make those too. They come in 2 different styles. 1. Soft bag, made of Deerskin. Paul Bunyan style. 2. Veg tan 2/3 oz (can be tooled and stamped).
That strap is beautiful. Love the stamping. Great job and thanks for the inspiration!
You are so welcome! Please give a thumbs up and don’t forget to subscribe to the channel.
i think this was your best video to date. very informative. i actually paused the video and went to irs.gov and got my ein number. thank you for another great video.
this looks awesome. i like the tooling, it gives it a higher price point and adds a lot more design possibilities to the build.
Огонь...❤
Great to Know! #wisdom #productreview #craftsman #craftsmanship
what part of Florida are you in? Near Orlando?
Tampa
@@PremierLeatherCraftersKawboi cool, just curious, i moved to Citrus County in 2022. i love the weather out here during the winter months, it is incredible. glad to see you pumping out the content man, your tooling skills are excellent, you make high quality items.
@@chris_topher1984 thank you. Keep watching more videos and ideas coming.
Hei bro Are you looking for a professional KZread thumbnail designer?
great video. i like the idea of the tracing templates. and i agree, don gonzales is amazing to watch. he makes it looks so easy and effortless. thank you for the cheat code.
Ikr.! It took me forever lol. The hardest part is to figure out your flow. Remember that one circles flow should be the opposite of the others. Figure 8’s. Thanks for watching.
@@PremierLeatherCraftersKawboi i need to make me some templates and start practicing. I like the way projects look with the tooling on them.
Yes you should. It’s very relaxing as well as exciting. When you create something from thin air is its own reward.
@@PremierLeatherCraftersKawboi i agree. It's nice to go back after you finish a project and admire your hard work. Gives you a sense of pride.
that came out awesome. simple but very functional. very nice work. great idea with the popsicle sticks. i am going to borrow that idea cause the brush on the contact cement makes a mess. this way is genius.
thank you Danny
Where did you show how to put the lines/design your following? Im new to leather work especially hand work. I've been sew most of my life clothes, costumes etc. I've invested in a couple leather sewing machines. My grandson who's 16 wants to learn leather crafting and I have bought a lot of hand tools he'll be using. I gave him your video to watch cause I like how you keep it real. I you show where you got the design from your following I would be grateful 😊 thank you for your channel!
Thanks for subscribing. Apologia it didn't get uploaded, I'm still figuring out this new editing software. I simply used my wing dividers to get my borders then cut them with my swivel knife, this is where the video picks up.
Dude this is cool!
thank you sir
🎉merry Christmas
Enjoy your holiday. Lil bro
Good stuff man!!!
thank you, kind sir. Keep watching more vids coming soon.
that came out awesome. i havent seen that tool before, might have to look next time im at tandy. a lot of uses for the heart shape.
may be a discontinued tool Tandy bad about that lol. So many overlloked it probably because many didn't know how to use it. Stay tuned I have several like that in the War Chest!
@@PremierLeatherCraftersKawboi can't wait. I'll be watching. I might try Amazon for the tool. Might be out of luck. Lol
Me too brother. I started wearing full cut trousers in 2002
This em kids got me cracking up 😂 but awesome stuff I just Subscribed to your channel
👍🏾
That’s Awesome
Thank you sir
I agree It Definitely Doesn’t look Right
Looks like a circus clown shoes on them
@@PremierLeatherCraftersKawboi I know I wear size 13
I bought a burnishing tip from amazon and put it in my dremmel. it works awesome. i just have to remember to not add too much tokonole because it slings it all over the place. especially my face. lol. but it sure beats the old wood slicker.
I haven’t drank the kool aid on toko yet, but I’m old school I love the bees wax. 😊
i havent tried the bees wax yet. i was using gum trag, but the tokonole leaves a better burnished edge in my opinion. i also bough the glycerine saddle soap to try. @@PremierLeatherCraftersKawboi
Maple leaf Sir.👍🏼😎
Thanks and makes sense now i never saw any acorns 😂
How long have you been crafting with leather?
Since 1995. I inherited my father’s tools and turned it into a business.
@@PremierLeatherCraftersKawboi 👍🏼😎💯
I believe it’s a nice creation. It’s the colors for me. If you get earth tone hats brown, green, orange etc. I believe they will be more appealing. JMO
Thank you
looking forward to part 2
@veteranleather thanks for the heads up on the audio, here's the retake complete with sound lol
your welcome i enjoy your videos and you have some very great ideas and i love that you are so generous with your knowledge and share all of it with us
Greetings to you and family. It is always a pleasure to watch your videos and i've learned a lot from them. I have been doing leather crafting for nearly two years now. I work with young people and i wanted to give them a skill that could potentially earn them some money, or at the very least keep them out of trouble. I have made with them cup coasters, key fobs, braclets, money pouches and some tiny little handbags from a bought pattern for the girls in the group. My first sale was an RFID wallet and key fob holder, it was in my view kind of big but the customer loved it and bought it for £60 and i was so pleased that my new found hobby was actually more than i expected. For friends and family i've made handbags, belts, flip flops for myself, two biker vests, a tool roll and even forced to reupholster my motorcycle seat, pillion and back rest because the original PU leatherette was beginning to crack. I agree with you about the bugs in the face at speed and i'm interested in the pattern for it. I would appreciate it if you could let me know how i can purchase the pattern. As you say in your video it's about challenging yourself and i'm still learning and trying different projects. Thank you very much for uploading your videos and passing on your knowledge. One Love.
much love & respect Dusky. If you will email me at [email protected] with the word: "bikermask", I'll send you an invoice to pay, then the pdf file for you to download the pattern. Thanks for watching and subscribing to the channel. Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down.
thank you amigo for the shout out and the great video. you actually nailed my name, so i am impressed with that. lol i love the 1 piece design, i am actually going to make one for myself to carry. the 2 piece design is also nice and i agree, with the rfid paper they will be a hot seller. thank you for all of your help and videos. they are a huge help to a beginner like myself. hopefully tandy will throw you some love and you can be the chuck dorsett to tandy like he is to weaver.
From your mouth to God's eat. Thank family. Keep crafting...❤
Whenever I need to learn something about leather and your channel pops up, I go straight to you. You go into all of the details that I had questions about. Keep rockin my good sir, thanks for all your videos.
thank you for the kind words. I'll keep plugging you in with the info you need to grow your craft.
Great video with alot of great ideas. Do you have a video on making that first card holder? I like that idea alot. Thank you for sharing.
I think It'll be over 2 yrs old though. send email to me at [email protected] and you can get the pdf download for 99cent
mark I'm posting a new vid with the specs you requested.
Sweet. Thank you. I'll be watching
