Hello, Ms. Jo, I truly admire your advanced artistry in leathercraft. You're simply a genius!!!! You're also a role model for many, many future crafters all over the world, past, present and future. Please don't quit...................................OK?
Thank you. As a newbie leatherworker with a little over a year of experience, I'm always intrigued by your subtle actions. I catch little tricks by watching you and wonder why I didn't think of that. Keep on craftin'!
I do a heavier bag based on a Western Saddle Bag, but this is better, and lighter. I love the piping and the asymmetrical attachments of front and back. Brilliant. Tell Sky I said Ruff-rrrrrufffff!
Hello Jo. I'm a new member of your channel and I found you looking for leather tools, so I found you and entered your channel here on youTube. I want to tell you that you really helped me in what I was looking for but also confused me somewhere :). I also want to tell you that your constructions are excellent. Maybe at some point you will allow me to send you an e-mail to ask about some things I want about leather tools. Congratulations on your work and your help to us. My name is Sakis and I am writing to you from Greece. Jo… .. thank you Sakis.
Buongiorno e complimenti per i tuoi lavori! Volevo chiederti se quello che usi per tingere i bordi del cuoio è lo stesso mordente per il legno. Grazie tanto e buon lavoro!
Thank you Brent 🙂 I say double hand stitching as that's what I know it as, it's the same as the saddle stitching method with 2 needles on one piece of thread.
Hey Jo, can you tell me what style of awl you are using while stitching at 11:10? I'm trying to search for a flat awl like that but I am having a hard time finding one.
*Quick Question* - I'm new to leatherwork so I'm wondering what I should do with all the scraps I'll be generating. There's only so many key fobs I can give away as gifts. The only thing I can think of is some sort of firm stuffing? - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Yeah you can use them as fillers, zip pullers and covering press studs. I also keep some for when I am sharpening tools as I can use them to see if the tool needs more work
Just absolutely amazing work! I'm curious as to the retail price of such a bag. That's the problem with making things by hand, you can't really charge what it's worth! I think that bag would easily command $200 or $300 dollars (US) or more!
@@JHLeather I used to be a juried woodcarver, made spoons and walking sticks. Selling through a local art gallery sure jacks the price up but of course they take a hefty percentage. It was nice side money but no way to make a real living, for me anyway. You do great work, thanks for sharing your expertise.
I have many patterns at various prices and they have all proven popular. Whilst I may not get rich selling patterns, I believe they are priced fairly given the time I have put into creating them. The majority are also commercial use which allows items made from them to be sold. And at the end of the day if you do not like the prices you can simply buy cheaper ones elsewhere.
Webchez: I do think that if you are looking for something commercial then you should go to a department store . If you are looking for something different and unique then be prepared to pay for it. The time and materials involved in designing and bringing a product to sale is extensive and when the market is very small the price must be increased to make it worthwhile.
