Making a Bund Style Leather Watchband 

Came for the project, stayed for the positivity. Love this channel!

Thank you for this video! Boy, did it take me back to my teen-age years. It reminds me a lot of the watch bands that were worn by all the guys in High School in the 1970's. It's funny how trends go in and out of style if you wait long enough. (Even though they may be sometimes slightly different, it is still nice to see them again!) This one is on my to-do list. You did a beautiful job! Thank you, again!

Hey Chuck, how about making something out of leather for a fisherman? Perhaps a rod case or lure bag? I think that would be quite interesting 😃

I saw someone put a Seiko 5 series on this kind of band, and it looked really good. I've also made this style out of denim, and that worked out very nicely.

With this whole pandemic thing going around, any pointers on sanitizing leather goods? I think the idea of receiving handmade items from somebody who may or may not be sick might spook some people. I know sanitizing sprays are hard to find, bleach would damage the leather, other disinfectants require getting the item wet, and germicidal UV light can damage a person's skin and leather is skin I think that might be harmful to the leather. Any pointers?

Wow. What a great watchband!! Thanks for showing this. I’m going to make this for my husband. He’ll love it!! Always love your videos 🙂

Amazing to watch a craftsman at work :) These are great straps, I wear one occasionally but now I want to try and make my own! Thanks for sharing!

"wear it and love it!" yes sir!

Great video! Nice explanation on the technical aspects.

Chuck's enthusiasm is highly contagious!

What a thoroughly nice guy. Loved the video. I've never worked leather before but I really want to make some bund straps for my watch collection. Definitely a winter project this year.

THANKS CHUCK FOR SUCH GOOD WAY OF TEACHING AND SHARING KNOWLEDGE!

Chuck I always wondered why you don’t melt the thread ends with a lighter or electric cutter? Then you wouldn’t have to worry about the threads coming out of the holes.

Thank you for the video I really enjoyed it and making the watch cuff

What size stitching chisels were used... 3mm or 4mm???

So Easy again 👍👍👍 Have you every made Leather Tool Pouch (Dimond or Round Hole)? Thanks for your good video 👍👍👍👍👍

Hi, the pattern is no longer available can you please send it to me? thank you!

So happy you made this video! Thanks!

Chuck this project is excellent and of course we’ll done as I would expect from you. Happy Holidays and Best Regards, Richard…

A true master , thanks for sharing..

Hand sewing video has all the ins and outs. LOL!

Bund! Wow where are ya’al desi @

Another great video, thanks!

Is it possible to do tooling on chrome tanned leather?

Chuck, could be possible to have an Element about the plastic pattern sheet? How to mark it and cut it. Thank you.

Muchas gracias, esta plantilla es genial.

Chuck, do you have any tips to stop your tooling leather stretching out of shape when stamping. Ive made some projrcts that have moved out of shape slightly but i might just be a little heavy handed 😅

Thanks for the video, explanations and for the pattern! God bless you!

the link to the pattern is broken

Hey! Great video! I was looking for this a long time and I finally found it! Thank you so much!

Does anyone know if you can make a face cover along with the bund strap?

Thanks for writing the measurements in centimetres, going to let this be my weekend project.

Thank you Chuck! Inspiring! I wanted my original watch band for my gshock still. So I used similar style under layer, but instead made up a split version of the under to go on top. This creates two sleeves that the watch bands slide into. AND it gave me surface to decorate. By the way...burned in design (wore mask and ventilated) and sharpie and design is holding up good.❤

Ты как будто знаешь что я увлекся ремешками для часов))) спасибо за мастер класс и выкройку. Удачи!

Nice job. I can see Christmas presents coming! Thanks.

Is there any issue with using the chrome tan with the metal watch? or is it a different material?

I wish I could be cool as him. These are awesome. Just starting.

great job, very informative

Is it possible to put the pattern on your website

Will the 10mm diameter rivet setter be good enough for a smaller diameter rivets?

Dang it, now I want to make watchband too!

What the watch model in video?

Great watch band Chuck! Thank You for Sharing!

It looks pretty good, I like it!

E+E Easy and Elegant!!!

Good job sir

Sensacional!!! Valeu!!!

Loved the video, I made one kind of like it..

you are no doubt very skilled, but this strap ...is definitively not a piece of art, lol. choosen chromium tanned leather with its grey flesh side, is not very nice ^^. , edges are not finished and really rough, the buckle is fat and not a waistband buckle.. also, the part of the strap with the buckle might be smaller to avoid having the buckle just in the middle of your wrist; particulary with a big huge buckle like this one.
