Tanner. You still remain one of the only RU-vid video producers that use clean, clear diagrams to help explain your project process. It makes the entire video more enjoyable and informative. I really appreciate the extra step. Plus, this video had a puppy!!! Cute. Really cute.
@@ClaridgeLeather On another note, Tanner. I want to build myself an art supply bag. Sketchbook, pencils pens and other equipment. My only requirement is that the front of the bag has to open flat so I can see everything. No digging around a messenger bag. But a similar shape. Can you put together a video on how you 'prototype' a project. Non-leather materials you use to mock up the shape. Then how to make patterns? Just a thought for a different kind of video. Feel free to decline. It would be a lot of work on your part. You already teach me cool stuff. I just don't know where to start.
To your credit, very enjoyable to watch. I realize my comment is not focused so much on the collar itself but rather your ability to make me feel like you were indeed speaking directly to me. I lean more towards traditional collar methods but everything has its place.
Hey Tanner, thank you so much for putting together these videos and sharing your knowledge. You never know who you will inspire, but know that you certainly are! Be well. -Marco
I know I'm kinda late to the game, but I just came across this video and as much as I love the collar, I'm in love with Griz! I have to know what kind of adorable monster he's gonna be. Bein this video is as old as it is, I can only hope you still might get these comments.
I've been meaning to make one for our new puppy too, but was going to wait until she got bigger, but you make it look so easy I may just make a temporary one now too! Great video and instruction as always bud!
Great video! I could watch that puppy all day long and not get tired of it! So precious! He is going to be a big one!!! Going to have to try that collar…I’m not a leather crafter and don’t have any fancy leather tools, but I might try it anyway, and use my XTool D1 to engrave his name on it! My dog deserves a beautiful collar like that! Lol
This is all that is good about social media. Started out looking up one thing and now going to make my dog a collar, after I build my own golf clubs, which is after I make my own painting. This is all before I go off grid and have a sheep farm. I kid I kid. Except about the collar and golf clubs.
Love this! I am new to leather craft and I am having a hard time trying to cut those rivets down to size. I ordered cutting pliers but can't seem to cut it down. What type of pliers do you use and thickness of your rivets. I've been ordering #9 brass and copper.
Late reply but thought I’d toss this out there anyway: I currently use 8” Knipex end cutters and they are great, though I’ll be upgrading to the 10” version shortly to give more leverage for cutting the harder brass rivets as production increases.
I really want to make one but I like to buy good tools and with the rivets, tools, leather, etc would provide it cost me $300+. You make some of the best produced and clear lily explained videos. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you! I understand there is a barrier to entry for this hobby, unfortunately. I bet this could be done for under $100 pretty easily, though, depending on the tools you find! I hope to make a video on that subject soon! Thank you for watching!
@@ClaridgeLeather Just adding what you - have to - buy just for this project i´d say sub 50. 25 for a basic rivet set, 15 for the hardware and some leather scraps.
Not sure if you have done this, but can you teach a little bit about working with the leather in ways that take into consideration how it stretches? Thanks
Nice video, Thanks for sharing. I am curious: where might one acquire one of those typeset devices that holds the letter stamps. I think that is just the ticket for me to be able to stamp names in a straight evenly spaced line. Thanks again.
Made a collar for my dog a couple years ago. Put her name on it and our address since she's an escape artist. It's paid off, she's been brought home a couple times. Thanks for sharing.
Suggestion: if you make another for your dog put one D ring in the center of the collar. Reason is the weight og the buckel will always be down and with a ring for the leash at the top you dont have to turn the collar arond to clip on the leash.
Nice tutorial, I would like to ask you for information, if instead of inches I use centimeters (x is the size of the neck) i + 8 "to add to x do I simply have to transform them into centimeters and do the same for the final +3"?
Kind of all over, but I did add some links to some of them in the video description. Hope that’s helpful! Was there something specific you’re wondering about? All the hardware is from Buckle Guy. 👍
