As a newcomer to leatherwork I find this mans helpful advice invaluable and without people such as Chuck to advise us we are incompetent at this art,so please Chuck ,please keep teaching us the correct procedures .

@SecularStrategy 4 года назад

Love these videos, but you guys need to invest in that second camera for the closeup shots.

I pressed play and I looked away to grab a snack while still listening... and for a moment I wasn't sure if I was watching Weaver Leathercraft or America's Most Wanted with John Walsh lol. Great content, thank you for the wisdom!

@omearacian 4 года назад

First time I burnished an edge I over pressed and rolled the edge a bit. Luckily it was for a 1,1/4 inch tooled strap bracelet and the effect of a rolled edge beside a deep groove line actually added a really nice 3d bordering effect around the tooling. Sometime mistakes are lessons, sometimes they're a great addition!

Really good advice for a beginner, much appreciated Chuck!

Thanks for the great tips, Chuck. I'd like to begin leather crafting, and I'm experienced enough to learn from the mistakes of others when I take on new tasks or hobbies.

I learned leather-crafting from my mother and have been doing it for years. Weaver makes excellent tools, but more than that, Chuck your videos are always such a pleasure to watch. Thanks for all you do.

For a newbie this is gold. Thanks.

@joafrikaans59 4 года назад

Thanks for the info, I really like your videos Chuck, a trick I picked up with removing stubborn screws is with a side cutter, just replace the screw afterwards

@charlescomly1 4 года назад

Thank you for making this video, over all the years in worked on leather, I have committed every sin you pointed out, lol! Looking forward to your next video.

@asmith7876 4 года назад

The embodiment of what all RU-vid videos should be: clear, concise, informative, no BS, straight to it and wow crammed full of 100% immediately useful and relevant information. Outstanding presentation! I won't show you any of my projects over the decades, but I've made hat bands and belts and wallets and holsters and knife sheaths and purses...all functional but they won't win any blue ribbons. Can't wait to see what other videos you have!

@jaredlanny03 4 года назад

Love these kinds of videos. I was a moderately skilled leather worker 20 years ago, and I'm returning to it now.... much of it is like riding a bike, but there's just as much (or more) of these basic skills which are totally lost on me. I never did figure out edge slicking, even way back when.... and it's still a little bit of magic for me now, so I'm looking forward to trying out your tips from this video.

@bradleywhite4902 4 года назад

I love your videos Chuck. Just spent more than I should of at your shop & eagerly waiting for it to arrive here in Australia. 👍

@pauleysink9659 3 года назад

Again, a great informative video Chuck, I should have watched this first, I now recognise a few of my mistakes.

@jacynthetofcrazycreations4869 2 года назад

Thank you. Very informative. I appreciate no fluff.

@jamesthe-doctor8981 4 года назад

Good stuff as always, thanks Chuck! Man, I wish I’d known even half of what I’ve learned from The Leather Element back when I was first starting out.

@jamesthe-doctor8981 4 года назад

Kevin Noll exactly, and the previous guy at my local national chain store (I don’t want to mention names, but it’s initials are “Tandy Leather”😂) would just sell me what I needed in order to do what I wanted to accomplish, but refused to tell me how to use it. As far as I could figure, he wanted me to attend their weekend “classes” so I’d have to buy more materials, just to learn a technique. That would have taken me decades, and I’m no spring chicken. RU-vid in general, and Chuck with these Leather Element videos in particular have helped speed up my learning curve immeasurably.

@andyshields5935 3 года назад

Enjoyed the video, did similar mistake with the beveled edge too wet, then slicked, and ended up mushrooming the edges. Yep, have to let them dry a bit. Thanks Chuck

@gordonrussell7165 3 года назад

Hello Chuck. I have jumped my box cutter slightly and taken a small sliver off the side of my straight edge. Now I use a piece of quarter inch square steel bar as my straight edge. Works great.

@robinmoore909 3 года назад

I did leather carving as a teen and at 60 I am getting back into leather working due to your videos. I was addicted to watching you create that beautiful holster and now am obsessed with the craft. Weaver didn't have several of the tools I wanted (67-6970, 67-6976, 67-6978, 67-6982); therefore I am on the Email notify list. I intend to eventually acquire all the tools needed for real leathercraft (to make a holster, boots and one day a saddle). Thank you very much for your well done, informative videos.

@rickybenavidez4982 3 года назад

@abelcotofernandez2500 3 года назад

Two weeks ago, decided to get some tools and learn to work with leather after almost a year wanting to do it. With this video I have discovered what i have been doing some incorrect things like with the edge burnishing, to much pressure. And a few more things not to be done :). In fact, all your videos are so useful, that yesterday i did suscribe. Thank you very much, I am learning a lot :)

This guy eats leather and drinks espresso, and I love it. Good video!

@yoheff988 3 года назад

Few tips: 1. t take out a rivet that had glue on it simply heat it up with a soldering iron. 2. Never use aluminum rulers, the chances of the blade jumping onto the ruler top and from there onto your finger is very high, use only stainless still rules. 3. Don't pay ridiculous money for leather dyes, I buy powdered pigment mix it with rubbing alcohol and get amazing dyes for a fraction of what you being charged at the store. Also I always rub the leather (after it's being dyed) with the cheapest Vaseline, it gives it an amazing look.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Do I do leather? Not pre watching this video. I am a fabric guy and wish there was somebody with this insight with sewing. Love the box cutter tip. Can use it anytime . Looks like I'll be starting leather work. I appreciate all the work that went into your video. I have a few up on RU-vid and I learn more about video production from super high quality videos than months in school. Thanks again. Videos of this quality are like discovering a new star.
