    Man it's hard to narrow it down to only 10! Let me know if you think there are any tools you think I should've added to the list

      Stock & Barrel Co a heavier maul or mallet is also invaluable for hardware setting (snaps, rivets, etc)

      @IrisHijne 5 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      A steel (metal) ruler! I just bought one from a local hardware store and it's just a great cutting guide and measurement tool. An upgrade from that would be a carpenter's square (or whatever you call them in English).

      PS. This is the first time I'm commenting on one of your video's. I've been watching for a while now, although mostly watching older video's. I have to say I really like your video's, even though I'm more into tooling, I still really enjoy watching. You're really good at vlogging and editing which makes watching so much more fun but I really appreciate how you show how you can make a business in leathercraft. I myself got interested in leathercraft a few years ago already, but have been very slow with it. I'm still a student and I lack the time and mostly the budget. Because even though beginner tools are not the most expensive ones, you really soon want more and the leather is expensive of course. Aside from that, I'm from The Netherlands where you can't just walk into a leathercraft store, unfortunately. Many things must be ordered from abroad. I hope to finish my thesis and education soon and after that, I want to spend more time getting proficient in leathercraft. Whether it will remain a hobby besides another job or become more of a job for me too (maybe even including vlogging, love the makervloggery initiative!), I don't know yet, but you've definitely gotten me interested in the latter!

    Opened this leather kit i just got in the mail, in front of my pc. I say to myself, "ok let's start lookin around on youtube and see what all of this stuff is" . Go through about 10 vids without full explanation of what the purpose of everything is and it's actual applications, and not just what you use it for. Next video I click is yours. 2 mins in and I subscribed. This is EXACTLY the kind of video you hope to find when you're picking up a hobby and feel intimidated. Thank you for this.

  • @davecarpetcare
    @davecarpetcare 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are so on the money with the "CLEANNESS" (is there such a word?) of your videos. No shaky, hand held camera, no in and out of focusing, no extracurricular animals wandering through, no sounds of diesel air horns interrupting the monologue, no wife or girlfriend (or both :) ) interrupting in mid stream, no uhs and ahs and well, er, etc., etc. In short, no crap. Short and sweet, stays focused and right on point, packing plenty of good info into a short space. What a win-win in that you are concise and clean in the production and you don't waste your viewers' time to boot. As others have commented: full of energy, a big smile and a good teach.
    Looking forward to watching all your videos and getting started in leatherworking. Thank you for an excellent video and wishing you continued success. You deserve it.

    I took up leather work as part of my new knife making hobby. I was fortunate that I lived near a Tandy store and they had a really good starter class on Saturdays. I took the class cuz they didn't have TH-cam videos with ole George Hurst back then, heck they didn't have an internet back then lol. It was very helpful and I made my first knife sheath that turned out really nice. You're giving some good advice so good job. I still learn new stuff. I found stitching chisels are good for making a straight line and for thin leather, but they're really not suitable for much over 10 oz of thickness although they're better than overstitch wheels for marking. I made a system for getting all my holes to line up on my knife sheaths cuz with going through 3 layers of heavy leather I don't like the way drilled holes look.

    Getting into leather working is a lot easier than people might think. I wanted to try some things out before spending a lot of money on tools. Before I bought the diamond chisels for stitching I used a tiny nail and measured out each hole. Don’t recommend it but doable. My first burnishing tool was the bottom of a Dr Pepper bottle. Technically worked.
