Good teachin.thanks

Hello: First off, very nice video. That being said, I'd like to make a few comments that I feel are beneficial? Number 1: in the 50+ years I've been scratch building knives and sheathes, I've tried the awl poking stitch hole approach AND the drill bit method. Here's my findings. The awl produces a hole that will close up around the thread producing a very cosmetically pleasing look and strong stitch. This is because there's no removal of leather. If you drill stitch holes, you remove leather that will NEVER replenish itself, so you'll always see a hole where the stitching is. Number 2: It would behoove anyone to learn how to saddle stitch if they're serious about doing leather work on a regular basis. I've never found the stitch awls or "speedy stitchers" to be very reliable when it comes to making good tight stitches? They're just "Easy" and and Easy doesn't always mean good, it means Easy. They're fine for emergency repairs, but not so much for long lasting, reliable stitch work. They essentially, just replace one hand and one needle. Do yourself a favor and watch a bunch of KZfaq videos on single thread, double needle, saddle stitching. There are a ton of videos out here. It's not hard, and you'll be glad you did when you look at your finished work. I didn't want to turn this into a lecture so I'll go away. :~))) Thanks for listening. I enjoy your "How To" videos very much, thank you. God bless: Two Feathers
