This video has been replaced by a newer version which is build along number 9 available from my shop in the link above. The new video includes a 4 hour tutorial video as well as an accompanying PDF pack and includes much more detail and techniques than shown here.

If you'd like some strap end templates try Black River Laser, they have lots of different ones:
