Hi pals! I'm back! This week I show you a quick, painless way to install zippers into your leather craft projects. The comment I hear the most is "zippers scare me." Don't let them, check this video out, and you will see they are easier than you think! This video includes a step by step on how to make a simple zip pouch. With your new found love and skill for zippers, you'll be able to apply the technique into all kinds of projects, from wallets, to purses.
EDIT: Thanks to my dear friend Shane Bowman (⁠) a FREE digital PDF download is available at: www.dadhands.c...
This tutorial ALSO includes a bonus run down of how to successfully saddle stitch without a stitching pony!
I hope you enjoy this week's video! Please be sure to like and subscribe, and help me grow this lil channel.

Finally, a video that shows how to add the zipper stops and ends! Definitely going to buy the zipper tape instead of the pre-made ones from now on!

@MultiFish Год назад

Well that’s certainly taken the fear out of zippers for me! Now I just need to find a decent riri supplier in New Zealand!

@dadhands Год назад

There’s gotta be someone 🤞🏻 I hope you’re able to find one! So happy you enjoyed the video my friend, and it helped to squash a lil of the zipper scaries 🤗

@dougmulle2627 Год назад

Very impressed and saved to my favorites now. Thank you so much for making this, it felt like I was right there listening to you. Now I gotta go buy a zipper and try it!

@dadhands Год назад

@@dougmulle2627 it’s definitely one I’ve been meaning to make for a while now, happy you liked it ☺️

@dougmulle2627 Год назад

@@dadhands another tech question. When you are making a fold, like in a folding coin holder what tool do you use to thin that out, like cutting a stitching groove

@DrawerFullofRocks Год назад

Thank you for the tutorial. Very nice! Please tell us what size zipper you are using. Thanks! UPDATE: Note to self: be patient and watch the whole video before you ask. Lol. Now I know.😄

Love the Video! Just downloaded the free PDF on your site. Mahalo! Also, what is the Comrade Collective? The lighter you are using has a logo on it. Curious.

@dadhands Год назад

Hell yeah you can my friend!! I believe in you! ❤️🙌🏻❤️

@jennifermaellis Год назад

What thickness of leather do you suggest?

@dadhands Год назад

That’s a great question my dear friend! I made this one out of a 3-4 oz leather. I would suggest keeping it around 4-6 oz at the thickest for this size of pouch. Any thing too too thick will cut down the carrying capacity.

@richardcoverdale1562 8 месяцев назад

What was the block that you used when punching your stitch holes?

@dadhands 7 месяцев назад

Sorry for the late response, I use one of these: www.buckleguy.com/cutting-board-multiple-sizes/?aff=17

@KeithBurtons Месяц назад

Just buy a cheap plastic cutting board and save yourself some $$$...

@michaels2208 Год назад

What size zippers would you use for a bag, pouch like this, or wallet?

@dadhands Год назад

As mentioned in the video, I used a Riri M8 for this project. It is quite large for it, but I personally like the aesthetic of it for this project, and it made it easier to see on the recording what I was doing 😊 Generally I tend to use their M6 size for most applications though. I only use Riri zippers, so I am not too sure how the sizing translates to other brands. If it’s of help, in Riri’s, the number corresponds to how wide the metal teeth are when closed, in mm.

@michaels2208 Год назад

@@dadhands thanks. I thought you said in the video but I must have missed it. VA got me going through a mess change, so I'm not well currently. I'm ordering from buckleguy so riri will be it. Thanks for all you do

Those are not channel locks

@dadhands 8 месяцев назад

My side snips are actually made by Channel Lock, but I do acknowledge that my miss-labeling could be confusing, thanks for pointing that out 😊

@bbrachman Год назад

I am still scared of installing zippers. Although a little less scared. Eric (@ corterleather) has been trying to teach me for years. Q: Where did you get the wonderful stitching chisels? I have a guess that they are not yet released versions. Patiently waiting for them. Thank You!

@dadhands Год назад

I have had the extreme privilege of getting to test a set before they went into production. They should be available soon, and I can attest, are well worth the wait 😊

@bbrachman Год назад

@@dadhands I am jealous. I recognized the handle design. Really beefy so you can hit the end confidently. Thick so they will last. Can't wait.
