How I make leather toggles and how I attach them for bag closures or making strap loops 

In this video I am making a quick belt strap for my nephew to use to carry a whip. Rather than go searching for hardware I just made a leather toggle. I have also used these for closures on bags and pouches and to make tankard straps for the local Ren Faire crowd.
I am always working on building something and try to average a RU-vid video once a week. Most often leather work, but I have also posted videos on black smithing, knife making, casting, and even how I make soap. Be sure to Subscribe if you are interested in any of these topics, or just making things in general.
