I am 68 and I went today and bought some deer skin with the intent of making a fringed gun scabbard for my Henry 45-70 single shot. Thank you for this tutorial on cutting fringe.
Just ran across your channel. As a beginner looking to add fringe to a full grain, leather bag, this was extremely helpful. Subscribed and will be viewing more videos of yours. Thank you.
Excellent job. Loop from 1st strand & non slip tape are "duh, why didn't I think of that?!?" Moments. First video I've seen of yours but you've already won me over.
Charity, thanks for watching! You may enjoy our video we posted on Tuesday about making a leather tassel with a snaphook: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nyrXCoJ3OVU.html
Thank you for such a THOROUGH yet simple video on how t make leather fringe. I have been researching the easiest way possible and stumbled upon this video. I am SO excited to learn more and grow in my leather making skills. Definitely the BEST video I've come across. One last thing, again, thank you for keeping the video simple and for getting straight too the point. I am looking forward to learning more from your company's videos.
CURSE YOU CHUCK! About an hour ago, my wife showed me a fringed purse and asked me if I could do fringe. I told her no. I just got done watching this video and now I know how so I will be forced to make a fringed purse for my wife! Seriously, LOVED the video and I'm looking forward to adding a new skill set to my abilities.
Love the tassel tip. Just a note to new chap makers...please cut your fringe at an angle. This fringe as shown that sticks straight out does not hang as nice as fringe that is cut at an angle.
Most informative and amazing tutorials on RU-vid. You are a very talented man and I thank you For showing all of us your incredible leather craft, I hope to be able to do this kind of work someday, it's always been a dream.
I want to thank You for a good simple tutorial on it :) I have seen the Hungarian arrow quivers have the " nervous " side out, i saw it on Midevil festival in 2009 in Gotland Sweden. But theydidnt have any fringed quivers, can You show some ideas how to make a quiver. With the "nervous" side out , and how to make patterns and how to put it on the quiver ? :) Kevin,Norway, Scandinavia
Hi, I love your videos, lots of info and very well paced. A couple questions.. 1. What is the black cutting board surface material and how thick is it? I'm guessing some kind of plastic but not seeing it on the site. I shop from McMaster Carr and may be able to source some there if you have the name. I love the size of it and would need a long wide board as well. 2. What type leather are you actually cutting? It's gorgeous. Thank you!
1. The black cutting board is our Silent Poundo Board, and you can buy it on our site at this link: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/5777 2. The leather being cut in this video is our top grain russet leather side, which you can buy here: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/3759/001/137 Thanks for the comment and for watching!
I have a question, why don't you use a lace cutter to cut the fringe? Something like an Australian Strander. I bought one from Weaver and it works pretty well.
Jimmie, the Leather Lace Stripper would absolutely work. We just wanted to show people how to cut fringe without any equipment in case they don't have one of those. Thanks for the comment.
Great tutorial! My question is I have dark brown leather but it has white fabric/ threads on the wrong side. Would it look ridiculous if I still fringed it? I'm looking to place the fringe on a vest
It’s a hard call without seeing it, but fringe strands tend to flip around a good bit, so the white may be visible; however, I love a rich brown! If you would like to send a photo of your leather, feel free to email supplyinfo@weaverleather.com, and we can give you a better answer. Thanks for the comment!
Love you, Chuck, and I love how much you love fringe, but damn, it's so ugly. Was there a time when this was popular? Did we just all edit it out of our collective unconscious purely out of shame?
