If you have a hobby lobby they have some leather and tools

@@larryalexander4833 Thanks Larry, will see what I can find.

Thanks very much

i can draw and design however I hav no real experience in leather but find that i long to work in leather lol. I did win a grand prize as a youngster in a leather contest state wide i made a leather top hat using NO pattern it was quite enjoyable and i was very surprised i could do it let alone win the contest but i was 12 then and 57 now lots of time has past i have no leather tools and when i look at your shop i think " my gosh he must have $60,000 in machines and tools now for me that is a great deal of money for something i may stink at. i understand just spending what i need for small projects and not investing a large sum of cash to start with and add as I go but i really would like to sell what i may end up making ... so i said all of that to ask this " how do u price what you make?"

@@mydiyjungle6075 Interesting...most of my kit is from eBay and such like so it's a small fraction. I price up jobs by setting an hourly rate and adding materials and overheads. I posted a film "How I price my craft" or something ages ago, and KZfaqr 'Stock and Barrel' did a very good take on this recently. I think its best to start with a handful of tools and add any as need arises. Best regards Harry

fenrir waking Thanks good tip

Delta Johnny Thanks and welcome.

Amr M. Kamel Thanks Amr

groundskeeper 52 Thanks...I have not been doing it that long..just keep at it...best regards Harry

Michael Flynn Thanks Michael

Tony Benincasa It's a very soft leather so a knife cut this time

Thank you

Ron Sites Hi Ron...this is a waxy equestrian leather that is about 2mm thick.......5oz???

Sounds like a good idea...Thanks.

Russ - start by taking a look at Tandy Leather to get an idea.

pjculbertson55 I got it from Tandy or Ebay and it keeps pretty sharp with use...a strop is always a good idea though.

Hi Sue - Sorry I do not...maybe someone here can help. Some stitching chisels seem stronger than others and those can take a hammering through thick veg tan.....but I appreciate its all a bit hit and miss as to what quality arrives!

Thanks Harry, I got chisels off a well known site and within 20mins of using them two of the prongs had broken off! to say I was dissapointed is an understatment. Some more, different ones, on the way but I am thinking I will use them in conjunction with an awl to avoid further dissapointment

Svetlin Yankulov It's a very sensible question and I have posted a film on basis tools.

Harry Rogers Thank you, I will check it out.

NorgMonster these wete 4mm spaced. I have not used a db2 but believe its a needle feef so probably ok for thin stuff.

Thanks. I like the idea of small (3mm) stitches but is there a reason to use 4mm? Also. If i'm only going to be making straight line stitching in relatively thin / soft leather to make my ipad cases, do i rely need a Manichean or are stitching chisels sufficient?

NorgMonster for thinner leather the 3mm might be better...but small stitches take a lot of time...as does hand stitching...there is around 3 hours of hand stitching on one of my premium belts! and an iPad case is quite large.

OK. I will try making one with the 3mm as the leather i have is around 1mm thick. The chisels are around £10 for a set on amazon so worth a try. If it takes me to long then i may consider getting the Brother DB2 B755 MARK 3 i found on ebay for £80.

Thanks Brendan

Hi James ...Valerie Michaels book is very good. Valerie Michael The Leatherworking Handbook: A Practical Illustrated Sourcebook of Techniques and Projects

Thank you Harry, Love your videos.

Wallace Vivian hi about 2mm from memory!

Hi I dye and burnish, and the seal the edges. It's obviously a personal choice but I am not particularly keen on edgecoat type paint as it tends to chip off in my opinion.

@@harryrogers Thank you very much for the reply! I was thinking of buying standard dye for leather and I think I will go with that just as you. Then I'll skip the edge coate. :) My friend who also does leather told that edge ink/coat is the thing to use, but I'll do it your way. Thank you and I wish you all the best. :)

TheMrWoodsman That would work very well and it would fit better from day one.

Bob they are patchwork clips off Amazon.

@@harryrogers Thanks Harry. Keep posting great videos. Much appreciated!!

Bushcraft Beats It is difficult to get it right....my case was a bit tight...I used a wooden 'bone folder and some steam to stretch it a bit...but realise that does not always work...still sounds like you got a very good end result.

mggcomputers A phone size plus 3/4 inches all round.

Hi you can select the thickness ...few individual people have the facility to split it.

@@harryrogers Thank you. Your videos are helping me get into a new craft.

Rosa Rodriguez , its called an anvil, i think he may have painted it himself because i didnt see them in colors

samer ebrahim you can find them in the hardware stores or you can make them yourself, i have made them by myself with my own ideas and i craft leather and sell them .

thank you.

Hi purchased off Ebay
