TWO New Stitches to Elevate your Leathercraft! 

Man thank ou, you've become my modern Bob Ross in leather.

The algorithm just lead me to this channel, 20 hours ago, and i ordered my first cheap starter-tool-kit and 1kg of left-over scraps of leather to give it a go. Man i'm so excited!

This is all I needed to do a camera half-case, thanks!

I'm Brand New to working with Leather Carving (or anything Leather for that matter) and I've been watching hundreds if not thousands of RU-vid videos. Some are noteworthy while others are just time lapse videos showing someone making Beautiful Works of Art. I'm grateful however, for Instructional Videos such as Yours. I'm 61 years young and wanting to leave something behind for the Nephews and Nieces to hopefully Learn from (rather than watching someone else play Minecraft on RU-vid) This is what RU-vid is all about, Learning Awesome New Things, whether electronics or how to play a guitar or something like this, Beautiful Leathercraft!! Thank You for Your Time as well as for Sharing Your Knowledge with people like Myself, Who's looking for Something New to learn!! I appreciate You and Others like You Who share Your Talents with Everyone Who wants to Learn!! Thank You Always!! 😊

Your tutorials are amazing !!! Your explanations are absolutely fantastic , precise and so carefully taught. Thanks man !!

Thank you sooo much for doing this video. I have been struggling with box stitching. Your video clarified a lot of my confusions on leather weight, stitching awl, the pitching angles and number of holes. Now I am ready to try again!!! Love love this!!

Greatly appreciated. The "stitch skip" was amazing.

Happily watching this again and again - thank you for beautifully showing and explaining how to do these stitches.

Being new to leather I am loving watching and learning from you.

Me too, me too! Fixing an antique leather case that lost its end cap. This is perfectly timed. Thank You.

Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with the rest of us. Stay healthy and keep on going, I really like your videos, the are well filmed and great explained. Alle the best from Munich, Germany 🇩🇪

I want to thank you for making these videos. I've been collecting leather tools for about a year and half now but haven't made anything yet. This is because I have a fear that I will mess up the project and get discouraged. I've been browing your videos and it has encouraged me to just practice my cuts and stitching first. I have a bag of scraps that I've had lying around that I'm eager to break into and practice. Thank you again!

I have been avoiding this video for abit but I finally sat down to watch it. I've only been in this craft for a just over year so I have taken the time to master the saddle stitch first (That I initially learned from your channel). I am pretty confident now when I say I can pull off these two new stitches. You explain everything so clearly, and with what I have learned from the channel in the past; everything just made sense, I didn't find myself having to rewind the video at all.

This video is exactly what I needed for the instruction. Thank you for explaining everything so well.

Amazing works! Thank you for sharing this very detailed and thorough explanation on technique for a complex and beautiful final product!

Rebrand this away from a "Pen Cup" & make it a Beer Coozie & you'll increase the sales on it drastically.

I have always wanted to make a leather hat box and with this tutorial I will now be able to make my wish come true. Thank you 🤗

"Doesn't take much time at awl".... Nicely done, great instructional!

Your channel is the best on the internet. Clear, simple and most of all inspiring!

Enjoy your time with every video you present. I admire your clear explanation of the stages of work in leather models, and I gained from you a love for this profession, and I will try to experiment and start working. Thank you very much, appreciation and respect for lighting this way. Greetings to you from Syria🇸🇾🌹🌿

ALWAYS INCREDIBLE WORK, THANKS FOR SHARING KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT JOB

Thank you for the video. Exactly what I was looking for at the right time.

It is a pleasure to see you working. Thank You for the video.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

This answered so many questions I had about fitting the bottom on a cup. Thank the lord for I have finally found this video!

This is going to be a much better way of stitching the backs on my leather covered flasks!! Great video!

Thank you and this looks perfect for a project I have in mind

Going to have to try this and make a Yatzee cup. Thank you

so effortless in the creation of something so unforgiving, you sir are a master, thank you

Herzlichen Dank. Ich kann leider kein Englisch, aber ich habe viel gelernt von Ihnen. RU-vid hat es für mich übersetzt. Ich bin glücklich und es mach viel Spaß. DANKE

Old Leather Smith here, Excellent Job Eric, your camera person also does an Excellent Job, thanks 2 both of you, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

This is so helpful. I was stuck on a project because I didn't know how to properly join a round leather piece to a tubular one ha Once I complete the long wallet (template purchased from your site) I'll revisit and complete my gas bottle reserve holder! Thanks a ton!

Beautifully done!

Super informative. Well worth the watching! Thanks!

Thanks so much, now i've changed my mind about buying inverse punches😄

Great job! Thanks for teaching us.

2 years later and this video is the best box stitch explanation.

Love this; very informative. I’m going to be using this to stitch my knife cases now

Great lesson! Thanks. Will try this one.

This video is exactly what i needed. Thank you!!!

I always learn new tips and techniques when I watch. Thank you Sir

Very helpful video. I literally just got a starter leather working kit yesterday, and going to try and use some of these in my first piece - wish me luck!

Beautiful! It was a pleasure to watch your video.

Very useful!! Thank you!! I was finding the answer for a long time~ You know, it looks like magic if you don't know how to make it.

Thanks for sharing... Truly motivating...

cheers mate, best video I've seen on how to do these 2 methods. subbed

Thank you, that's great.

Thank you. I built up a Sniper version of the 1903 Rifle, and this technique will help me build some nice leather scope caps.

Another great tutorial, thanks

Your step by step method is great. I learn a bunch from your videos. Thanks! KANSAS

作品ができあがって行く様子がとても芸術的で見惚れました。 素敵な動画をありがとうございます。

Wonderful job...!!! Congratulations !!!👏👏👏

To finish the back stitching, run the needle out of the center of the seam. After snipping the threads, tuck the ends down into the seam to hide the ends.

Nice video! I make dice cups all the time and I like your technique.

Tanks. You're tutorial is very beautiful.

This is amazing, and exactly what I'm needing. I'm wanting to make holders for flasks that I can put a belt loop on.

Pen cup or dice cup this is awesome to see the process and thank you!

Very satisfying video. I don't work with materials or do any stitching. My curiosity got me here and I am happy to watch and enjoy your work.

Thank you for sharing. Great tutorial

Very nice tutorial! Ty

Very nice instructions for making this. I made caps for my rifle scope and basically stitched it like a sheath. Not real pretty. Now i need to make them again doing proper like this. Thanks

‘Hold it at the right angle (90) to make the 45 degree holes’ .. love your relaxed presentations

I drive an old 1993 Dodge Ram and I can’t find any of the upholstery parts online!! No bench, no arm rests, not even a wheel cover that fits!! So I’m getting into leather working to hopefully make my own custom parts :) These videos are VERY helpful!!

Very Nice work 👍😁 thanks ❤️👏

Very helpful! Thank you

Thank You for Sharing

Thanks 👍. Всё супер спасибо , удачи в работе.

Wonder full video, thank you so much, I have wanted to known how to do that for years! Cheers. :)

Thanks for this,well done

Well done!

Nice tricks. Lately, I've been using heavy vegtan multi-layered, glued first, one side heavily grooved for recessed stitching, stitch holes drilled through with a Dremel tool, then bottom side grooved along stitch holes. You can make some indestructible stuff.

My DM would love this as a dice cup, time to learn some leather work

thanks for this great video. very handy. I was long time ago looking to learn about this kind of stitching.

Thanks, that's awesome!

Look like a cool beer cozie!!

Nice! It can also be a beverage can insulator

very nice demonstration of leather stitching! this will be helpful for me, as i am planing to make similar cylinders out of leather to use as sectional walking stick holders when they are disassembled. its one of two ideas for such a holder than i want to try and make. with the other being more like a tool wrap with some sort of clip lath to close, and both with some sort of shoulder strap or belt loop to secure with while in use. in any case though, i am more confident in being able to make them now that i have another nice video tutorial to watch and follow along with when designing my project idea. so thanks =)

Beautiful!

Somehow, video tutorial release seems to at the time i need it. Thanks

Thank you so much. That’s exactly what I missed when I make a bicycle tool bag.

Enjoyed the video. Been attempting to do the angled holes. I'm going to need a LOT more practise to manage to do it going from the results of the last few nights. lol

Wonderfull, thank you very much

Great work 👌

I have that same, antique diamond awl.

I like your videos is like seminars! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I'm greek cobler and I can understand the most of what you explaining. Searching for my first tools (can't find here xD) and I'll try soon some projects. This is ideal job for me if I can sell some good stuff switch my job to this one :D

Amazing👍

I learned something new ...thank you🍻🤙🏽

Thank you! :)

Very nice!

Excellent presentation. I guess you could say you gave it your awl.

I try create small tophat.. This video very useful...! Thnx

Thanks man!!

I followed your instruction and did a practice piece first before comitting to sew a binocular case. So pleased with the outcome, very satisfying 😀👍 I wonder though how you match the size of the round piece to the upright part

Videos are always interesting!!! ✌

That stitch would be nice to make a wrist cuff. I’m a newbie. Thanks for the tutorial.

Muy bueno! No entiendo el inglés pero se ve muy bien lo que enseñas, gracias por compartir. Desde Mendoza, Argentina

Never done any leather work before but am planning on making a couple o9of small leather sheaths around my macaw's harness. Even though they are supposed to be virtually indestructable he is already on his second one in less than a year as he chews through the stitched parts!! (nightmare and expensive!) Son gonna have a go following your butt stitch technique using thick leather scraps from Etsy. Thank you for making your video so clear - all the others assume prior knowledge, are sped up and have awful music!! Will let you know how I get on!! :) x

Nice project.

i found vellum and a good leather backing for it... now i realize i need to make a map tube holder and this is one of the steps i need.... debating boiled / hardend leather but havent found a good video for that yet.

Good video tutorial man
