Sharing a TOP SECRET Leather Craft Trick (and more!)
We've never done a leather crafting tips and tricks video, so we decided to start with an assortment of random little tips and one BIG trick! You've probably heard us mention mosts of these tips in previous movies, but we decided to put them all together and end the video with one of our top secret techniques to make some super cool embossed products using cutting dies. We use Weaver's custom die shop to make our dies in tandem with custom stamps sourced from various places. Hope you get some new tips and tricks from this one to use in your own work!

How to leather shop, thickness of leather and the uses of various leather thickness. That would be awesome.

There's nothing more satisfying than coming up with a faster way to get something done without sacrificing any quality. I LOVE the process.

Learning to do things like cut a straight line, stitch straight lines free hand, draw a circle freehand, evenly space stitches over several feet freeehand are all basics of the trade that impress other people but are required right at the beginning of your career. I’m glad you mentioned it.

Great tips. For peeps on a tight budget, Harbor freight sells pretty nice rubberized deadening hammers in a variety of weights for about five dollars. Not quite the same but for the price it works pretty well and keeps the tool from bouncing on the leather/punch

@jameshoward8609 17 күн бұрын

This must be something that only working with leather or maybe fabric makes since. I have not heard of it in carpentry. The only time you would use more than 2 points of reference is if the material was longer than the straight edge you are using. If your leading edge is straight the all marks should be the same distance. If not you need to learn how to mark better.

I appreciate your comments about hand cutting vs things like a laser. I have a laser but feels too automated and makes a lot of extra work on removing edge burning and charring. Using the laser also takes the claim of handmade off the table. I like working with leather because I handmake my items. If i were in business it may be different and I would take the handmade label off the table.

The outline on the stamp design is shear genius. Self centering. Very smart. Another reason I like this channel. Where did you get your #2 blade handle? The #1 handle with the #11 blades are too light and flimsy for leather. They bend and give too much.

If you are new to crafting like i am know that weaver leather supply will send you samples of leather. And if you are just getting started you can buy the belly cut for cheap and learn everything Corter Leather talks about. Weaver is sending me samples of the 3 weights that are currently available to buy in bellys. This way i will have a very good idea what oz weight i want to try to work with.

Tip: I've found that the 8.5/11 cardstock can be used in a 4 in 1 inkjet printer. Im doing moccasins, so I start with a foot tracing, build out the sole, then design the upper around it. I can do all the design work on regular paper, then put it into the copier part of the printer and print off multiple copies on cardstock. One to keep as the original, one to cut out the sole, one to cut out the upper. Then if I need to remake anything, I can pull the original and run another copy off on cardstock.

Get yun’s to a steel yard and get a piece of 1/4” flat steel bar, then hit up Lowe’s for the sticky backed nonslip rubber pad for furniture and where it to the back of the steel bar. For pattern or material weight 1/2” and 3/4” bar stock is great. Cut it to whatever size you need.

Also, how do you protect and FINISH your NATURAL VEG TAN leathers? When burnishing edges its hard not to get overspill of whatever you're using onto grain side.

Maybe something I need to save up for, dies and stamps.... (I live on the road and make short run individual items, selling the uniqueness of each thing, it, I'd love the ability to create larger quantities in short time...of course, I see to decide what it would be that I would make/sell in quantity!) Thanks for the video

@IrisHijne 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome video. You make such a good point on learning to do everything by hand first. I only make some things here and there as a hobby and I still have to practice a lot. Sometimes when I'm cutting I wish I had a dye (and a press xD), but I know I won't be getting that anytime soon, so I keep on cutting :).

@brendah.8201 3 жыл бұрын

Yes Iris, that was a good point he made about learning to cut shapes yourself. Saw the cost of laser cutters & said guess it's old school for me! Glad I learned.

@maaingan 6 ай бұрын

Stack like four of the stamps reversing end to end in one big rectangle stamp, do the same for the cutting die. Now you can press FOUR tags at the same time, now you can do a thousand in a few hours! That’s automation folks. Now that you can handle 5,000 item orders in a few days, you can afford a pneumatic press that can hold 800 at a time…. Now your biggest time hang up is not being able to load the machine fast enough…. Now you need an employee to help… oh god, I just wanted to make keychains…
