David Bailey Hi David, Many thanks. The desk is probably one of my best bits of furniture and gets delivered on Monday. I am looking forward to the extra space in the workshop! Peter

Bernie Jones Many thanks Bernie. Actually, I had very little choice with the leather as there were only a few pieces the right size in the shop on the day of my visit. Peter

Hi Raj, Glad it was helpful. Cheers. Peter

Stoowit Hi Stoowit, Many thanks - it was quite hard work doing such a detailed project in front of the cameras but I am pleased with everything. I am delighted that you like it. Peter

Many thanks John, I might have a couple of days off now ! Peter

Hi Dave, Many thanks. I have finally got it out of the workshop - now I can get on with all the other jobs. Peter

nippychippy Hi Robert, Many thanks for all of the support that you give to me. Peter

Thomas Meyer Thank you too Thomas. Peter

Steve Lyde Many thanks Steve. Peter

Andre Masse Hi Andre, I will do my very best to get going with the mitre station as soon as I can. Many thanks for the nice comments. Peter

I made a pair of desks with hand tools and a very old router. They look fine even after 30 years. Peter

+Theoldguys 8 I sent the plans to a subscriber and he has built the most magnificent version of this desk - far better than mine - and his leather top has tooling and looks brilliant. Peter

Did you watch the whole series? The plans are available free of charge. Peter

I think I saw all and thank you for your very kind offer, but such a amazing project is, especially for my actual skills much to complex. But Kudos for sharing, i could see the deep proud and joy you felt after finishing the project. I think I felt near you und could feel the emotions too. Sorry for my bad English, I hope you could get it despite my quite poor knowledge in your language. I can understand your absolute fine Oxford-English without any hastle, but writing or speaking English ist fighting for words ;)

Hi Ron, I am so sorry but I do not. Did I not refer to it in the video? Peter

Hi Paul, No, my friend brought the glue and so I am not sure what was used. I have been told (but never tried) PVA will work. Whatever glue is used it must allow the leather the be moved after it is contact with the top so that it can be crease free and in the right place. Peter

@@NewBritWorkshop Peter from what I’ve been reading it looks like wallpaper paste is a good option so I’ll probably use that. Thanks your videos are always helpful 👍

robert murray Hi Robert, Please send me your email address by Private Message and I will send the plans. Peter

Hi David, No, no need to do that at all. Since making the video I had a trial using PVA and I left it for 4 years before trying to remove it from the MDF below - it was still stuck perfectly. Peter

New Brit Workshop - Thank you, Peter. My project is only a simple Moxon style vice, where the leather will line the inside of the jaws to aid gripping of the work. The leather I intend to use has the course, suede/hairy effect on both sides. I was therefore concerned the leather in this condition would absorb most of the adhesive if it were not sized prior to laying on the timber. Thanks again. David

Hi David, As soon as you apply the adhesive and bring things together close the vice up to put an even pressure whilst the glue cures. Watch the temperature of your workshop as most glues perform badly or fail below 12 deg C. Peter

New Brit Workshop Thanks for the advice, I will put it into practice. Regards. David

Carefully.
