Klej wodny do skór. Coś z formowania będzie na pewno, myślę że właśnie etui na Zippo. Względnie proste a samą technikę można zastosować do bardziej złożonych prac.

Hi, The one I use here is one of my 2 nessmuck knives, custom made by Krug, Polish knife maker. I found it perfect for my work.

Hi, Yes that is called edge paint. ( for leather) Plenty of different suppliers out there, Fiebings and Tandy Leather to start with.

Wanted to ask this as well... its different from a dye is it?

For the "production" or strap that would go to customer, I'd use barge glue / butapren just to make sure. Having said that I have used this strap for a long time and nothing fell apart. If the stap had been worn in moist environment or you'd sweat a lot there is a chance it could affect water based glue.

His watch is ORIENT Quartz diver 200m FUNE3001B0 as i remember it has 24mm lug width. indeed nice watch.

Correct, thanks ! Got it for the pictures but I love it and wear it very often

Hi, The list of the tools I use is probably longer than the minimal list of the tools you would need to make a strap. But to make a strap you need: 1. Leather, for top, and lining - if you make strap with lining 2. Glue for leather 3. Sharp knife, 4. Ruler 5. Piece of paper, cardboard to make templates 6. Awl 7. Stitching iron, pricking iron - to mark and punch holes for stitching 8. Needle and thread 9. Something to mount the strap while stitching, stitching pony is the name of the actual tool 10. Hole punch 11. Egde paint and something to apply it 12. Sand paper, preferably on a block of foam or wood. 100,150, 180 grid 13. Something to smooth/press the leather when glueing and shaping - bone folder. There are plenty of items you could use. needs to be firm and smooth. Some are sourced from various online shops, some are custom made by me or fellow makers. I'd advise to start with something simple and work your way through to actually see, what suits your way of crafting the best.

Hi thanks for the comment. At some point I might make vids with commentary on :) Anyway, if you have any questions write here, I'm trying to answer them whenever I can.

MK Leathers ..hi what glue are u using to bond the lether together an wear did u get the watch strap stencil from

Hi, this is water based leather glue from my local shop. Look it up there are few manufacturers who make those. I also use heavy duty leather glue (one that smells bad ;) ) I designed templates myself and had them cut out from plexi at my local printing/cnc shop.

Well, the width is 24mm but length would depend on the wrist of the person wearing it.

Thanks, Both were made by local (Polish) companies that make this sort of stuff. Templates were cut from plexi. Any place that offers laser cutting should make you any shape you require. For multi hole punch was done by facebook.com/wykrojniki/?fref=ts Ibelievve they take international ordders.

thanks for your quick response! i look into it, thanks
