A heartfelt thank you to all who continue to support my workshop: https://atelierdjames.com
In today’s video, we tackle one of the most intricate challenges in strap-making—the curved-end padded strap. This design truly benefits from the use of a jig, and not only will I walk you through the materials and techniques, but I’ll also show you how to make the jig itself, step by step.
This strap is going on a vintage Rolex, but really curved end watch straps are a nice fit for many vintage brands.
