Me too. I can't say that I buy everything from Weaver, but they are my first stop. If they don't have what I need or the item is out of stock, then I will look elsewhere. I also get a remnant bag sometimes if I am near a local craft store. However, Weaver is my go to for leather supplies because of Chuck's videos. Supporting their company is the best way I can support him and show my appreciation for the knowledge he shares.
I recently purchased a few things from Weaver Leather supply, I'll be buying more as soon as they use our name or shipping info instead of a password that I'd soon forget. I really need some John James needles, but I'll use what I have remaining until I must get some more.
Hey Chuck! Here’s an idea for an episode. I was wondering about putting special hardware into leather. Specifically what I’m looking at is I have a unique coin I wanted to place into my project but it gets pushed out so easily! I wonder what your take on something like that would be.
Hi Chuck! Thanks so much for all your extremely informative videos! I've really enjoyed sifting through the many years-worth of content. I'm new to leathercrafting, and kind of stumbled across the idea from my interest in pyrography. There's a few leather burning videos out there, but not many, and certainly not very in-depth with much leather knowledge. I was hoping you might consider that as a future video. Perhaps a collaboration with a pyrographer and yourself? There seems to only be leathercrafters that dabble in leather burning, or wood burners that dabble in leather burning, but not any that I've been able to find that have a strong knowledge in both leathercraft and pyrography and bringing both skills together. Thanks!
Might want to check and see if the tannery used 1% chromium to tan the leather. Burning on leather with this tanning method is not recommended. I don't know the particulars about it but I do know its not a good idea to burn on this type of leather.
@@minerblue9641 Yes, thanks for the reply. What little info I've been able to glean includes burning on undyed veg tan leather to avoid burning toxic chemicals. Of course that's in addition to general pyrography safety (respirator, smoke filter, ventilation, etc.)
Chuck? I may have missed it, but are there any videos that show using the molds for wet molds? Something that shows the bunching and how to use those? Maybe on how to make one? I love these videos, thank you!
Problem better if I learn how to wet mold by hand. I see allot of people cutting triangle’s around the edges. I assume to help the corners. Love the leather crafting, out of all the different things I enjoy making, this is my favorite. When Chuck talks I feel like I can do anything!
I’m looking to make a pouch that holds a water bottle for when I’m walking the dogs. I want to be able to hook it or latch it on a leather cross back harness any points to help?
Many have used FoodSavers and vacuum bag attachments. For those using FoodSavers, the bags have wavy lines/channels for the air to be vacuumed out, so keep that to the back/non-visibly nice side of the leather.
@@edwardhunts Search for "diy food saver bags" to use cheaper alternatives. The things ya find on YT, amirite? Good luck with experimenting and finding something that works for you.
