I show you how I make my leather notebook covers in this film...which is sponsored by J&E Sedgwick & Co who make lovely leather. I am using my clicker press to cut out blanks, that I then skive on my bell knife skiving machine, and then I stitch them together and add a name stamp using my leather debossing machine.
Here is a link to the J&E Sedgwick website:

Here are two UK links for buying Sedgwick Leather:

Here is a US supplier link: www.boothandco.com/

Great video, enjoyed that project and love your workshop. I find my hobbies always hit a wall and it seems to involve tools. You reach a point where there is only so much you can do with simple tools before you need to jump off the cliff and invest in other things. With Scale modelling it was buying an extractor and airbrushes; with woodworking it is a jointer and other larger power tools to finish rough lumber and saws to get accurate cuts; and with leatherwork it is cutting, sewing, edging, skiving. I love the garage press idea and will be trying that....doing it on a bench vise sucks. Very envious of that skiving machine hand skiving is not fun. Cheers!

I'd be interested in seeing how to neatly hand sew thin (and skived thin) leather like this. It seems the thinner the leather the more difficult hand sewing neatly is for me. I'm sure it's a technique problem combined with needle and thread selection... tips are appreciated!

Lovely work. Curiously, how many times did you knock your dye over before it went in Froggy pot for added security?

Haha -- three times two of which were rather expensive!! No worries since!!

Welding the ends together is as simple as acid etching the end, then a drop of bronze heated onto that.

Hi how many machines would you need to make leather bags. Love your videos .

A minimum of the cylinder arm unless hand stitching.

Hello, lovely work! What is the name of the colour of the darker brown leather you used? I'm going to buy some leather from Abbey, what particular one are you using, as there seems to be multiple different bridle leather at vastly different prices! Thanks for the help, I'm new to the hobby so it's all a little overwhelming. Thanks again

Please, what kind of the leather is it from Sedgwick? It´s not bridle leather.

@@pavelhlavka2568 It's closest to their lacing leather, though this one is a limited run Sedgwick panel not otherwise available now.

great video Harry! I am seriously contemplating buying a sewing machine and want to ask,"What is the max thickness of leather you can sew on your cylinder arm machine?"

Hi...It's for bags, not for saddles holsters or heavy duty goods....like a Pfaff 335 basically.

Hello, what sort of steel did you use to make the clicker die?

@harryrogers 5 жыл бұрын
