The Leather Hide And Selecting Leather (in 4k) 

Your comment about splits for testing a design is really helpful to me. I have been trying to find a 'leather substitute' that is inexpensive and is as thick as leather. I have tried 1/8" neoprene foam as a substitute. It does work but will not keep a fold or seam as you fiddle with it. Thanks Harry!

I always enjoy your presentations. Love to learn new things about arts and crafts.

Superb! Every days a school day with you Harry. I’m relatively new to leather craft and your tutorials are proving invaluable. Cheers 🍻

Crystal clear. Excellent resolution. Oh and by the way, great video.

Invaluable information getting started. Cleared up a lot of confusion, thank you

I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge.

Your seemingly odd comments off to the side always put each piece into perspective nicely and let me know exactly why I am being shown each leather. Very well done sir. I am definitely a fan of this and other videos. Love your little shop and all your little tips. They really do help. I am a month into making things and am loving every minute of it. Thanks for all the the tips.

Thanks Harry, great video, and the "technical" filming improvements are amazing! You are inspiring me to have a go! All the best, Cliff

Just what I needed. Thank you.

Thank you Harry for the tutorial it came in very handy.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Brilliant!

👏🏼👏🏼 Ty for the Teaching 📚 about Leather 😀 ...I Learned something New Today 🌈☀️

Bring back memories of the time I worked in Holmes Hall Tannery, I worked in the warehouse and the hide yard 👍

These are the types of videos that should really help someone who wants to start out. I get asked all the time just how to choose leather and my answers are always very long. Noce going Harry.

Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏

Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

I learned a lot from this! Thanks!

Very informative...thank you!

Thank you Harry.

Very helpful, Thank you.

Excellent information thanks

That was very interesting, thank you

Seeing that Goat hide has reminded me that I have a suitcase full of those that I bought years ago from a company in Beckenham, they used to have regular sales of leather, I think they were dying samples, but very well priced, I will have to look them out, hidden since we moved.

I am an somewhat experienced home tanner and have just finished tanning a whole cowhide with oak bark. I think it's almost 40 sq ft so it's quite a chunk of leather. It's quite a time investment (moneywise not so much, haha) and really want to put it to good use so I have really been thinking on how to go about dividing the hide into useful parts for belts etc. But with your great content on leather cuts and quality I feel I now got the sufficient knowledge make this important decisons, so thanks a lot, Harry!

Your work room is so beautiful! The cow looks like it might be a bit lame on the back leg 😮😂

Great video

Excellent summary. Would you mind if I linked to this from my channel?

I found this very interesting. Ive now just realised that the leather I've been given from a local upholsterer is Chrome tanned and not ideal for all my purposes. What type of leather do you recommend for watch straps and wallets/phone cases?

Fascinating ! Out of interest ( says he not having watched your other, related films yet ) , which parts are used for a pair of boots ? Many thanks !

From where would you recommend getting the leather supply in the UK?

Any advice or comments on oiled or "pull-up" leather?

so a lot of leather soled shoes where they stamped a "genuine leather" inside the framed logo....that logo is actually the outline of a whole leather piece from an entire cow?

Hello Harry, you talked about split leather in this video, I have some Cow hide split upholstery leather approx 1.4 thick, what is the best use for this please?

Could I please ask if you could recommend any leather suppliers? I'm new to the craft and have no idea who I can trust to provide me with good quality leather. Thanks.

Hello really interesting video where do you buy leather from thanks

whered u get the gauge? and what were the leather sellers you mentioned? to my knowledge, i think it's roughly .4mm for every ounce, so an 8oz piece of leather would be roughly 3.2mm for example

Hi Harry Where can I obtain leather strip for binding . Thanks. GH

can you do a keyring video)

Harry: I have 3 half butts in here. Me (thinking): Harry is so thorough, he never does anything half assed. Now one and a half assed, that is a different story. lol

Hello, where do you by the thickness measure please?

Hi Harry, where do you order your leather from?
