Beginner Leathercraft Project: Leather Valet Tray

Instead of punching holes and putting screws or snaps in it, why not just use clamps?

Thank you so much! I made one 10 x 10 as a gift for a young man that loves D&D.

I’ve been watching George for years. Good luck on teaching. I’ll be watching you too.

That Celtic Knot looks amazing!!

Sir, is it necessary to use so much tissue ?

Didn't burnish the edges. Toconol and a slicker.

Why didn't you dye it before the Chicago screws

Please Where do you get the plastic for the raised ridge?the pattern
Thanks

Oh your gonna go ahead and

CRINGE VIDEO! You should be spraying saddle lac (or some kind of finish) once that GEL dries. Or do you want antique gel on your skin DAILY? Also wetting the leather after tooling is a big mistake! It Loosens the fibers. You should only be wetting the areas you need to bend/work with. which obviously is not the part you stamped out. Ugh. I'm sorry but I would expect more from Tandy Video's. Your brand is great no doubt! Take care folks!

That would make a nice dice tray for Dungeons and Dragons too

Greetings the starting tool is the B802 Craftool® Beveler Stamp or B197?

Why make when you can buy what you want custom made for you. Check out Wuna verstas on facebook. Best craft for reasonable money.

Drinking game: Every time he says "go ahead" - take a drink

752 bucks worth of materials from tandy.

He does GO AHEAD

"Beginner" means we don't have leather-working skills but cutting an actual square or centering a circle are within reach of most people

Where's a good place to get leather scraps?

Never cut towards yourself

when doing a lot of tooling, how do you handle stretching of the leather?

What products do you use on pre dyed leather? I have some beautiful hibiscus pink using it for purses and I’d love to add some leather work on the front of it. I’m a true beginner on this type of leather work.

Great channel great content, just go ahead and have a think that if you can’t go ahead and present a video without going ahead and saying go ahead 4 times every minute you might want to go ahead and get someone else to go ahead and present for you👍

Great video. Thanks.

It;s good to see Mr. Hurst in your videos. Tandy has made a lot of money off me because of the tools he has shown me. I made a couple of these valets for personal use. I used 3 to 4 oz. and glued together so it would look finished on both sides and use snaps rather than Chicago screws so it would lay flat in my suitcase while traveling. I used the top rounded cap on both side of each corner to keep the look cleaner. That's how I personalized what I made from your demo. Thanks for making the video.

what about the presentation of the tools!!!!!

Awesome guys. Thank you for posting

Wonderful

so glad NASA doesn't eyeball square cuts le you do

Do you think you could say "go ahead" one more time? Go on. Just for me.

do you not slick the edges of something like this? like the tooling not really the design of the trey though

Where can i find good leather stencils?

Talk about missed the centre...

cool

What size Chicago screw did you used for this project?

The traced outline was not very clear, when Michael finished using the craftaid. Consequently the lines were not showing where the swivel knife was to be used.

What material is the board you are doing all of this on?? I'm having trouble figuring out which board to use for what. Poly boards, granite, set healing mats are what I keep hearing. Which is best for which part of a leather project?

Hello if anyone would like a beautiful leather iPhone case please visit us on etsy we make hand made leather cases if you would like one please visit us on etsy at IslandLeatherWorks thanks.

would you wipe the excess off using die

Very nice. Thx =)

I'm so happy that I found this channel :) This is amazing, thank you very much

what a satisfying craft :-) Michael you did a great job and I'm sure it won't be long before your totally comfortable in front of the camera as your first attempt was better than most I've seen on yt ! look forward to many more vids :-)

i'm going to go ahead and try this myself and go ahead and start my project by going ahead and shutting down this video and hoing ahead and follow your instructions.

Can/how one go about doing this dye process with multiple colours? Like if I wanted the negative space inside the circle to remain the natural colour?

I think he said "go ahead" about 8000 times.

thank you for sharing. can i ask what kind of leather should i use for carving.

Time and time again I've read that antiquing gel is NOT for use on the flesh side of leather, and yet Tandy pros still use it that way all the time... Which advice should we be following?

This makes me nervous. Welcome to Michael, nice job - but does this mean our George is retiring or semi-retiring...?

thank you for sharing. its something I would like to get into.

Good morning ,why can you die leather after you drawn on the middle, before bending ages?
