Very interesting and nice to watch, I do not do any real leather projects but have lots of it around for odd jobs like handle covers and straps, plus mallet heads for carving tools. I have even made some leather washers when I want to take a little vibration out of a machine. I go to a craft fair every year where a leather crafter sells bags of scrap cheap. They are also fun because I never know what I will find, sometimes belt blanks that were not perfect to ready cut strips or ?? Did buy three nice full deer hides that are soft and thinner, with no idea what to do with at the moment, lucky for me it will last pretty much forever and I have all the time in the world to learn how to do something nice with it :)

One more tidbit of info. Some leather is "drum dyed". This means it is literally soaked thru in a giant drum of dye which permeates the leather completely. Drum dyed is good for things which will take a lot of abuse, scratching, or scraping...like motorcycle jackets, wallets, boots, belts, etc.

Hello Harry, I'm from Belgium and completely new a this. your really an inspiration and love your vids and the fact you work with mm, uch better for us europeans lol ;) After some discusions and arguing with former "friends" I want to try this craft myself because I want to make a saddle bag on my motorcycle. First I wanna do some practice with smaller cuts leather and then make the sadle bag. Because it's going to hang on the side of the frame, it's maybe better to take a 4mm thick cowhide then? Thanks Danny
@harryrogers
@harryrogers 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Danny ..the 4mm thick cowhide would make a very robust firm saddle bag...its what I used in a film series on making a binocular type bag. You could use a thinner leather, it will obviously have less firmness and body..like say one of my messenger bags made from 2mm plus leather...so it really depends on the type of bag you want. I hope that helps. Rgds Harry
@DannyCroughs
@DannyCroughs 5 жыл бұрын
@@harryrogers Thanks for your reply, I'll go for the 4mm then, because the backside will be bolted to the frame, so it needs to be very robust so it wouldn't hang through by time.

+AL bert K Hi - you can get leather point needles for domestic sewing machines and many will cope with very thin leather...like for wallets etc. If you are thinking of buying one a Singer 201k is a good choice as its cheap and strong. For heavier duty normal leather sewing you really need a walking foot compound feed industrial machine with a 0.5hp and above motor......partly for power but also for even sewing and using thicker threads that you cannot use on a domestic machine..

Hi it really all depends on the quality, for example the bridle leather on the back of a cow ...a butt can be circa £400....you can buy a whole hide of furniture quality for say around £100..£200. If you take a look at Buy Leather Online Italy and add 20 per cent you will get an idea of some less expensive leather prices.
