My dear chuck, you are a gem! thanks for this dedication to teaching leathercraft and cheers to your everlasting enthusiasm!

Chuck is the only guy I trust when it comes to leather. Keep it up, Chuck. These are great!

Thank you for all those good tips Chuck, you're the best.

Dude you are so cool . I could listen to you talk about leather and belts and stuff all day

Excellent program please keep up your videos. Thank you

That’s a great tip to use the English point strap cutter to achieve a smooth transition on the taper

Tip for punching stitching holes is taking his time, no need to rush it! ;-)

For an idea I would like to see a video like this one but on wallets

This is relevant to the thing I'm creating now! Someone asked for a set of leather handcuffs. I don't ask questions, I make things. Am adding a thinner strap to the top of the wider strap but FML the stitch holes are a pain. Next task to tackle will be affixing rabbit fur to the inside

That was good Chuck. I haven't thought about leaving long ends of thread through the needle to feed out later. I see it makes it easier starting out. I will try that.

seriously thank you! Im fairly new at this and have gone through a lot of your videos to learn and its going great. improving each time. I was trying to figure out some metal connections and you cutting down the belt to that thinner end fixed it perfectly. I was having so much trouble and i looovvee watching your videos! Thank You!!

Awesome chuck, thanks for another great video. I've had issues with the tapering so this will definitely help.

Thanks again chuck ♥️

Hi Chuck would you do a video on sting ray hide.

Hey, chuck, I'm making a belt right now, and one issue I'm having is the thread is constantly getting twisted and wrapped around stuff. Any tips, maybe a leather element idea, for keeping long lengths of thread straight and tidy?

How about a video on how to make a leather doo rag? I am thinking about making one for riding my Harley, p.s. my bike is turquoise and cream colors :-)

Chuck, can you post the patterns that you use to measure the belt? I think that would help us new comers to leatherworks. Thank you. Richard

Hi Chuck, wat is the best way to protect the burnished edges from a belt against scracting?

Like billy maze never died

Can we get a class on segmented belts?

Thanks Chuck, great video. Could you explain the suede glue up on a cut out in the next live please? Is the glue just on the back of the dyed leather? How do you apply it without the glue leaking through the holes? Paint roller?

GREAT videos on belt making! Thank you. Got me excited to make some belts. One question. Say I wanted to cut 1 ¼" letters into a 1 ¾" belt blank so the lettering shows with a contrasting color liner. The measurements are extreme, it'd probably be 1" letters I an 1 ½" blank. Would I need to sew around each letter?

Do you guys have any experience using a sewing awl on a leather project as opposed to hand sewing with a stitch pony?

What is about 2/3rds in??

Great series so far. Does the weight of the leather (or combined layers) change anything in sizing of the belt? That is, if you go with a heavy weight leather, you have to make the belt longer?

[ReTyredAl] I am enjoying your videos and have a question: In all of my years wearing a belt, I've only had one last more than 1 year. When I was working, sweating and getting wet - stretching was the issue. water proofing Some belts, especially two layer belt broke thru at the eye. The one belt that did last nearly 3 years was from a small shop in Du Bois Wyoming. it was in expensive at around $25, No treatment that I could detect, but one tough SOB. Any ideas as to why and if I could duplicate the process at home? Thank you! PS I am a big guy.

Any reason you couldn't or shouldn't dye the flesh side of the natural vegtan liner instead of using an additional drop-in liner piece like the suede?

How can i cover an extra hole in my leather belt???

How did you measure the inside of the English point chisel for the taper?

Chuck, on an older belt video I believe you mentioned ...adding 11" . Did I miss something?

I use 11oz to 13oz Herman Oak skirting sides and it averages 3/16ths inch thick for heavily carved and tooled belts and a strap cutter isn't very good for cutting it as it is easy to get off with that thickness. Why do I use such heavy leather? I do not want to have to sew a liner on by hand as I cannot afford a $1000 sewing machine.

Boa tarde

Excellent program please keep up your videos. Thank you
