Chuck is the Bob Ross of leathercraft. Just a wholesome human being that encourages quality work every step of the way.

I'm gonna try making a costrel, and the welt was the most intimidating part. This answered every question I had, and some I didn't even know to ask. Thanks a bunch!

Holy cow! Why have I been making welts so much more difficult? Thanks Chuck. You are my hero today!

Every time I watch one of Chuck's videos, I learn something. I have been doing welts the hard way all this time. Next sheath I do, I'll try it this way.

Have been out of saddle making for 18yrs, just getting back into it, never seen elets explained, than k s Chuck

Thanks Chuck, I always make this harder than it needs to be not any more.

I wish I could take in person classes with you Chuck, you make it look so easy, I'd bring the coffee. I watched several of your videos about a month ago, since then I've bought the leather tools and different types of leather so I can do things you done in your videos. An I've also got my grand children wanting to start maing this stuff. I even sent them the cellphone case video I just watched before this one, Thank you Chuck you have truly inspired me to start a new hobby. An I'll make sure my grand babies all know it was you along with one other leather crafter by name of Sam Andrew's from Florida that given me the inspiration to start doing it. Thank you brother.

Great again... nice... u make my work easier and easier. My old way are changing for the better everytime I view your videos. Thanks again, Robin Sr., peace...

Your videos are great! I know tgia has been out a while but I juat started and listen to your videoa at work. Thank you.

this man is the Bob Ross of leatherworking!

Your tip's are well explained and are easy to follow and duplicate. Thanks

Hey Chuck! I know you've been dreading this one for a while, but I think this has been a fantastic leather element. Welts seem boring, but when you give us the ease and outcome it really helps boost motivation for the next project. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for all your dedication at Weaver and bringing us great content non stop.

Gotta love Chuck's enthusiasm!

Great tutorial full of good techniques. Thank you

Hey Chuck! Thank you for all the videos you've put out - as a hobbyist, it's SUPER HARD TO LEARN if you don't have a mentor to work beside, but these videos are an amazing substitute teacher! Love the passion you put into your work, it's contagious!

Love your positive attitude

Simply Awesome 👌 Mr Chuck..

Another great video, thanks Chuck

I cannot express how happy I am to see this video! I've been fighting welts on sheathes for years!

You make the things so easy for the beginners. Thank you.

Thanks for this awesome vid. Sendin' good vibes your way. 👍🏻

I don't think I would have thought of those solutions. Nice!

Thanks Chuck one of the most helpful hints I have always struggled with welts. Appreciate the direction.

I usually cut my welts but I may have to try molding them for those gentle curves! Great video Chuck! (as usual)

Making a sheath for my friends hatchet and your videos are helping me get there, thanks Chuck.

Thank you Chuck, as always brilliant and simple.

I’d really like a leather element on that fold over sheath in the beginning. I’m a knife maker and that’s the style I prefer. Also, the only leather work I do is sheaths. I’m certain I’m doing it the hardest way possible so chucks “ ease and outcome “ would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the great content, guys! Your awesome content has made me a weaver customer for life.

you just made my life with welts so much easier. thank you chuck great advice and videos!!

Good video Chuck. Thanks. Rick Conn (Ricks Old West Saddlery, in Atlanta)

Very helpful. Keep up the good work, Chuck.

I love your videos, and the way you teach, therefore I'll keep watching them.

That makes welts look so much easier to do than how I have been doing them. Thanks

Enjoyed this video, another good one thank you. Haven't thought about wet molding these curves..

Late to the party a few months.... but great vid packed with useful tips! Thanks!!!

Always great videos. Thank you, Chuck!

I just found your channel, thank you for making these videos. You have very upbeat energy that makes these videos fun to watch.

Thank you that's helpful. I've been using scraps like the second way but I really like the first way for ease of cutting.

I'm so thankful for this video. I've always struggled with how I should make a welt for different projects. Now I think I should be able to make a welt after watching this. Thank you!!!

Great techniques that we can all use to make our projects! Thanks Chuck. I’m with you, little defects in progress make me crazy, it’s all I can see until I fix it.

Thank you, Chuck, this was a real help and it was easy to follow!!!!

Always love to see leather elements! I've got a project ready to go and the tips for welts in this one is perfectly timed. Thanks for the information as always, Chuck!

Amazing tutorial on welts especislly the bit about the "Darts" to all the fashioning of the curve. I was taught about darts, to break a straight line, when laying skin on a curved surface and to avoid tenting. Simple and clear instruction here too.

Thanks Chuck! because of all of your videos I was able to make a knife sheath for a custom knife I made and everyone thinks it looks professionally made. Keep making these incredible videos.

Loved that one. Thanks chuck

Thanks Chuck. Great video.

One of your better ones Chuck... basics are great.. but the more advanced stuff is needed as well... not like the old days when we can drop our lives off and go apprentice for a years...

I salute you chuck. Blessed

Chuck, you're so awesome to watch! I just love you!

Thank you for another fine video, I can see where I'll be using this.

Very informative, thank you!

Hi Chuck, thank you for another excellent tutorial, it’s very difficult to find good mentors here in the UK. You are an inspiration and I love your enthusiasm for anything leather, I wish I could visit you over in the great USA. Thank you as always, regards, Chris.

You are a great teacher, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thank You Chuck! Great video, very helpful!!!

Excellent Video ...

Brilliant video. Great tips!

Love this guy!

Thanks Chuck, this helps a ton.

Being fairly new this video really helped. Thanks for a great demo :)

This is cool ,I usually just run a line off the sheath pattern to make a welt this looks a little easier

Chuck rocks!

THANK YOU MAN THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL

Very Nice information

Interesting. Thanks for the quick tutorial. I would like to see you do a project from start to finish.

Very good video

Nice job.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!!!!!

A new blade every time. You must have stock in a utility blade company. 😊 I've had the same blade in my box cutter well over a year now. It's cut lots of leather, wood, plastic and even a wire or two. Just sharpen it if it gets damaged. Otherwise just strop it between cutting jobs. Mines sharper than a new one cause the edge is thinner. Good video on welts. I do mostly big blades so I use wider welts and don't use glue. I've thought about trying it for years now I've just never used it cause I dislike sticky stuff. 🤔

Hi Chuck ! I have launched myself into leathercrafting a few weeks ago and found your awesome channel ! Since you always say that the sky is the only limit when speaking about creativity, well I listened... I'd like to craft my own fuel tank cover for my bike. I guess it may be a little to complex for a beginner, but... Could you share any advice ? Or even, heck, make a tutorial for all the bikers/leathercrafters out there ? It would be great ! Thanks anyway and cheers from Belgium 😉 !!! Keep teaching us !

Love your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge. When adding a welt on a lined holster, do you line up to the welt or welt on top of the lining? Thanks again!

Hey Chuck, could you show us how you made your tool stand?

Great video. Thank you. I need to make a leather steering wheel cover for my truck. What thickness and type of leather is best? Also what material do I use to sew it with?

OLD LEATHER SMITH here, thanks Chuck, that's exactly how I do it, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

Well thats gunna make my life way easier thanx! On a side topic how did u get into leathercrafting and who taught you?

Hey Chuck, my question as a newbie can you tell me when to use olive oil on projects and at what step in the project do I need to oil the leather?

I have a small hole in the leather of a purse on the trim area on a fold. Someone suggested that I use Fiebing’s Leathercraft cement. Instruction to use a toothpick to drop small amounts of the cement into the hole a little at a time until the hole is filled. Any other suggestions or a better way to do that? Thanks much.

Can you do shaving cream dying leather or marbling leather?

Hi from USSR 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey Chuck, I wanna know what type of leather do you use for a welt? Specifically baseball glove welting? It’s really stiff and can stand up like a pair of my gym socks!!

I got a Simple little project a "turn shoe" or "moccasin slipper"

Hey Chuck, could you do a Leather Element on noise reduction? I've had to move my work space indoors and I'd like to make less noise when punching and tooling

2:30 Chuck... why not pre-dye the leather so you don't have to worry about the top grain? I know, I suspect several reasons... but, is there now way to remove glue or dye over a slight spill to the edge or top?

Do you have any patterns for leather armor?

I’d like to see a video on your dvd case, or at least preview it.

Where did you get your tomahawk?

How to punch a 1/2" hole in 4-5 ounce leather. All I have is a hollow punch set.

For the welt that has the angel in it for the ax. How would you use the stitching chisels to make the holes for stitching in that all together to make your finished sheath for the ax?

I want to see how to inlay a stone in leather!!!!

what is the point of a welt, and how does one know if they need to add one

I think Chuck should start drinking decaff

Where are the Kittens? :-)

Hopefully one less thing for me to screw up🤣

how mans square feet of leather does it take to make a full suit of armor?

Sca heavy weapons armor

Ha...

For a complete starter: why use welts?
