Thank you Dave, l’ve been collecting bodkins and other sewing stuff from the old days for a while. There’s always a practical reason why things were done the way they were .
You are so right about moving the material instead of cutting it to save it to last years longer vs cutting it to help it get cut after a while of being used. Love this channel buddy.
this is a great iexplaination of a grommet/eyelet!! im hunting for how to do the same thing with a brass ring, and i'd reckon ya just set the ring down before you poke the hole with the bodkin and then run the same process. thanks for the grooves tip, i was thinking that would be a good idea before you said it lol
watched a man stitch THE EVER LOVIN TAR out of some brass rings to a sail, then a man make a decorative blanket stitch but over a rope ring instead of a metal one; that fits my uses way better, but this gave me the understanding first.
Yes l saw a sail eyelet that had the most beautiful reenforcement stitching ever, then they put a copper grommet in too. Don’t miss out on our latest video giveaway, hot off the press!

I have about 3 Marlin spikes ( metal fids) I use for my knot working tasks, one of them I use for my tapestry needle case. I now need to see if I can replicate the techniques you used with your bodkin so I can work on making an EDC ditty bag.
Hello and welcome, we’re so happy you have found our channel. I would love to see how your project works out. For larger grommets you may want to punch a small hole first depending on how tight a weave the canvas is.
Thanks for the well wishes and the hearty welcome. I've been subscribed for a bit now and really enjoy the content. Once I find out how to post pictures, I'll see about sending you an update. Have a great morning.
Another pro tip mate 👌 I use metal grommets alot but I always punched holes, looks like I'm making a fid now 👌 thanks again for the knowledge 👍👍👍👍

another thing about metal grommets, using them in bags you get your hands cut often!
Good point fananox, especially the ones with the split ends that curl under. Thanks for being part of our tribe.
