Epoxy resin is usually seen on youtube as a pourable substance used to create items, but in Leathercraft it is a powerful tool to create stitchless, rivetless pieces that look super minimal and clean while bing very, very easy to make. In this video we show you how to use a new Key Fob fitting from our Sponsor Buckleguy to make two types of very sophisticated, yet simple key fobs using only epoxy and leather :)

You’re an inspiration. Inspired me to walk away from the ICU and towards peace and independence. I have started leatherworking exclusively with the knowledge you have very generously shared with us. Thank you, for everything.

I've seen Jimmy Diresta recommend cutting the plunger for the epoxy so you can control each side individually and make sure you're pushing out a small, even amount of both. Love this idea, I have so many little scraps like this.

I had the same issue with getting glue on my veg tan grain last weekend. I learned to dye before glueing the hard way 😂

Video request on ethics. I love you guys. I've bought your patterns. I need a hippie purse before you had a pattern available so I experimented and made one myself. We all make similar items, sometimes with our own custom flair. I've never heard anyone talk about being inspired vs stealing someone's idea. Where are your boundaries, especially when you plan on selling said items. I am reasonably new to this and plan on selling items soon. I am a cheap hack, but I don't want to "steal" other peoples ideas. I understand copyright, but most small shops and small markets don't seem to go to the length of copyrighting their bag's, purses etc... Please consider kicking around this idea and make a video about it expressing your guidelines between idea theft and inspired by. And once again, thank you.

Hi this is a useful tip when applying a lining as I’ve always been unhappy with the ‘crease’ marks showing when the key chain is bent . would this tip work with a thin type sheep Napa type leather as a lining? I have the same type key fittings but they have screw holes and screw fittings but just don’t trust them so I think I will epoxy them like you suggested! Thanks Tanya from the UK!

What is the length of the leather straps you used on your demo samples? Is that the same length you would cut on the actual key fobs you will be selling? Thanks.

I wish you would have shown us how you trimmed that lined piece when it already has a bend in it.

@tianamarie989 Жыл бұрын

He has another video where he shows this gluing technique for a wallet. From what I remember, it goes flat when you open it and press down like you would for cutting. The bend in the glue just helps prevent creasing in both sides and isn't a permanent bend in the way that metal would be permanently bent. I hope that makes sense.

If you put a slight groove on the inside between the two pieces it allows excess glue to escape…just be ready with a couple “Q” tips to remove the excess. And the Buckle guy has excellent products, so why not use them with your leather skills?

I live in a small apartment. I want to avoid making pounding noises, as much as possible. Is there any way I could just use some kind of press or clamp to get the contact cement to get good adhesion, rather than pounding the heck out of it?

@MultiFish Жыл бұрын

Sure is. I used spring clips with a leather cover to hold the edges whilst the glue sets but you can get leather flattening pliers to squeeze your edges. Amy Roke does a fancy set for about 60 usd I think.

You can buy an anvil made out of marble or granite, by pounding leather on this anvil you'll get a massive sound reduction, 10-15 kg will work great. It also can be used to reduce sound of pounding leather with chisels.

@tianamarie989 Жыл бұрын

Why do you need to hammer the leather when you glue it?

@karonbeilunka6845 Жыл бұрын

Contact cement and glue like that sticks basicly on the first contact. watch the part where he ripps a strip off after putting it on a glued pice. When hamering down the leather in this moment it squeezes the leatherparts together and basicly makes them stick better. As a quick comparison: put your palms together and than squeeze them together. The first is you just putting to leatherpices on top of each other the second is tha hammering.

@Oonagh72 Жыл бұрын

To avoid squeeze out when you put the epoxy in the fitting, put it on the sides and not the bottom. Have the fitting facing up when you put in your leather. The leather and gravity will push the glue to the bottom. If you can hold it up like that just until it starts to cure. It will feel warm. That way you won’t have slide. I love “5 minute epoxy. It is second only to my beloved E 6000

@lynnel363 Жыл бұрын

For key fobs like this, would you use this Epoxy? Not sure E6000 would hold as well, but I do like it for many other things!

@r4ptor-g4ming34 Жыл бұрын

@@ytcommenting3101 Lmao corter isn’t selling 100 bracelets a month. Be real. The failure rate on that is probably quite high. Considering these are keychains, they’ll probably get caught in your pockets and you might snag the leather right out. Not only that, but he’s incompetent to the point where he smeared the epoxy over the face of the leather, as he’s also done numerous times with glue in MANY other videos. He’s not a good leathercrafter. He’s mediocre at best. He’s one great salesman though, and apparently he has grabbed lots of new people by the nuts, you included. His whole brand was built on luck and marketing, not good leathercrafting skills. He caters to new people, but any professional leatherworker will tell you how rudimentary his skills actually are. He’s no LV.
