Timely video for me! I was just researching how to make my own strop! Off to the hardware store tomorrow. Thanks so much!

Great video. I always thought I kept my blades sharp. Just sharpened them once I had difficulty cutting. Boy was I wrong. With the struggle of cutting and some other things I ended up with Carpel tunnel. I think from now on I'll do a good strop after ever job, a quick strop before and while working.

Thanks dude! You definitely won't regret stropping them up each time. It's so worth it.

Great video - stropping really does work well ! One small question, though.. Which way up is that leather on your strop, please - Flesh side down or flesh side up?

Hey, Ian thanks for watching! Sorry I should have mentioned that. It's grain side up. Flesh side down.

Great video man! And a skill that transfers any and everything that has a blade, including kitchen knives and woodworking chisels! I for one really want to see you glue a piece of leather onto a 2x4!!!

Thanks dude! It definitely transfers to other bladed tools! Haha maybe I'll do a strop making short!

What kind of glue do you use to glue the leather to the wood?

I just used the same contact cement I use in my leather work. Just do the same thing you would with leather: glue both pieces, let it dry for a few minutes then stick it together.
