Thank you britishman for teaching me another valuable way to do leather stitching

I know a guy here in Connecticut USA that is very much reminiscent of you. Not only in perseverance and quality but in product excetera. He takes pride in his work as well. You get what you pay for. End of story. I just want to add, I could watch you all day at your craft Mister Rogers. Truly relaxing and enjoyable.

Excellent analogy to lacing your shoes!! Thank you, now I will remember forever!

Really enjoyed that. Always assumed baseball stitch would be really tricky. Thank you Harry.

That was so relaxing for me. I have a lot of tools that need to be wrapped with a cup of coffee in the back yard or watching you on the tube....Thank you in so many ways Harry ... OORAH!! 🌄

Just LIKE lacing a shoe! Great video, thank you Harry.

Charming fellow, and adore the smiles! Nice stitch work, too, mate

Thanks again for the tutorial and very good camera work to see the stitching.

Make sure to protect the shaft. VERY important! But, seriously... Great vid! Thanks.

Thank you. Also appreciate the calm manner of your instructions.

Thanks for the video. Such simple stitch- nice to look at and comfortable to use. I have a couple of hammers I'm going to try this on. Your instruction reaches "across the pond" to Idaho, USA. P.S. I have an English friend that informs me that I don't speak English. I speak American. Also we speak "Sailing". I guess that makes us Tri-lingual.

We recently started leather working and are very excited with your methods and teaching techniques. Thanks we will follow you ... as we advance with your sawing .. OORAH!!

Thanks for the explanations! It's easier than I thought.

Holy cow, I was fretting how difficult this was going to be! You explained it and showed it perfectly. Thank you much

Great video. I'm going to use this to make a cylindrical sunglasses holder for my car. Thanks.

Thank you for the lesson Harry. Going to do mine too. 👍

Thanks for another great video. Cool chair :)

Straightforward and easy, great tutorial 🤙

Very well done, all the way around. Thank you!

Good video Harry, I could use this method. I'm glad you showed how its done.

Great video! Thank you! Made it easy to learn this stitch.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your videos very much.

Hi Harry , poking the needle through the thread to make a knot brought back childhood memory of a great aunt (seamstress) doing that in her home shop. She had me using my young eyes to thread the needles back then. Thanks I've learned a great deal on your channel.

Great tutorial! Clear, easy to understand, good photography. Thank you!

Great teacher! Thank you!

Awesome! I got an Amy roke leather plier and have to stitch on the leather handle. Wasn’t sure how that stitch goes but it’s super easy! Thank you

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for sharing, Sir!

Brilliant!!!!! Clear.....easy to.see...demystify ing at its best!!😃😃 one of the best instructional videos I have EVER SEEN!!!!😯😯

Excellent. That's another stich to learn with your brilliant teaching method.

I'm making a leather handle for an old suitcase and this is how the original one was laced, as well. I always enjoy vids from Harry Rogers.

Hi from Tasmanian, Australia. Well done Harry.

so simple, yet so classy. I always thought that was a lot harder than that to put in.

Great Video Harry.

Thanks Harry, as entertaining and informative as ever. Just what I wanted to know. Duncan

Very nice video, well explained. Thank you very much.

🤯 What an amazing artwork!!!! Grande Maestro!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯🔥

Nicely done, thank you.

Thank you. Informative and right to the point. I'm thinking once the cover is made and installed, I might wet it all with a sponge to fore it to shrink and form-fit to the handle.

That is awesome ,thanks I will try this on a few projects,(very nice)

Nice! The tapered handle made final fitting rather simple. I'll be interested to see an axe handle done up, I may try that stitch sometime, thanks!

Great video ! Easy to understand and follow along, this showed me how to Baseball Stitch my leather gearshift cover on for my car, the stock one had degraded badly due to heat.

Good one Harry!!!

Great video I feel like I can do this on some projects now ty

Giving this a go on a buffer tube, should look super clean.

Really good explanations thanks. I just wrapped my first handles in a breeze :-)

Harry, Excellent analogy to shoe lacing. I have been looking for a way to wrap not only steering wheels, tools, etc the covers produce commercially are so inferior with cheap synthetic material but also I restore vintage road bicycles and I know the handlebars can be wrapped "in situ" as well as some of the tubing to add an elegance --- how about a dark red leather wrapped seat tube. My head is spinning. Great videos and appreciate your sharing your expert knowledge. Stay safe my friend across the pond in Fort Lauderdale.

Many thanks Harry for all your videos. I started pre-lockdown looking at your work and with the intention of making myself a leather belt. Since then I still haven't made my belt but I have made six shoulder bags (sold 4), Swiss army belt sheaths and glasses slip cases. You could say I'm hooked on the hobby and perhaps one day I may even get around to making my belt! David

Lovely!

lov ur vids man... trying this today

I wonder what would happen if you next soaked the leather? Would it shrink it even further for a super tight fit? Nice job. I learned something today.

Thank you Harry.

Very good video.

Nice work. The other videos that I looked at and talked about showing on a steering wheel only talked about using one of the threads and yet my steering wheel cover came with two threads and two needles! So I guess I know which method I'm going to use. Thanks

Now you show this just about 2 weeks late but I think Ill go back and redo my ax and hatchet .Looks simple enough just have never done it Looking good Harry more leather work . Happy trails

Excellent ty sir

Perfect!

Wow good video

Well done thanks for sharing.. :o)

Thank you, Tom

Your ability to communicate clearly and concisely is outstanding. If you then add high quality filming, you have perfect teaching.

Thanks for the video .There is an old stitching guide book that gives thread length estimation ( sorry cant recall the name ). I love tiger thread so much it's all I use . I use 1.02mm in My Tipman boss stitcher for limited Heavy work .

Thank you so much

Baseball stitch is versitile. I usedit to sew chrome tan to vegtan. I wanted the edges of the leather to butt up and show off the stitch. It worked out well.

Harry, just a quick hello from CherryHill Baltimore.

Thanks!

beautiful

Use one the 3M spray adhesives to secure the leather to the metal blade.

thanks for sharing

Very nice.

thanks 😊

Excellent

awesome

Thanks for everything you do Harry. Looks lovely. The knife looks like one of those Japanese wood marking knives.. ?!

Harry always love listening to KZfaq clips can’t wait to meet you. Directing you be able to teach a blind person never work. Love what you’ve just done with mind trying it on something perhaps old fashion handlebar grips for my American beach cruiser I’m restoring that would be cool.. Could you use this on like a tool roll which you get on Harley Davison handlebars thinking that would be awesome as well. Where do used to get all your friends and tools from would be interested to know

thanks

Cool

Would this stitch be ok joining 2 seams at a 90 degree angle? Or what stitch would you recommend?

I have to recover some baseballs. I'm wondering if there is any benefit to using round punches for the holes over a diamond chisel. The diamond chisels I have; the round punches I don't have.

Great stuff Mr R, couple of questions, why didn't you leave the knife inside the leather handle while you sewed it on ? Was it just because its simpler ? And why no adhesive to stick the leather to the knife as well ? Apologies if these questions are simplistic, I'm quite new to leather work to be honest and come from a woodworking background, but the more I see the more it peaks my interest.

Great little video Harry, very useful stitch thank you. Just one thing. You say at the end after burning the thread ends something about some people use ? and I cant quite catch what you say. Something to do with thread ends I imagine?

Can you stitch this with the leather on the item? My axe handles have palm swells so I won’t be able to slide it on after the fact

Thank you sir. I will apply this to my steering wheel’s cover. Do you know a best brand to get a grey nylon thread from? And do you have a store of your own?

Hi Harry, l was thinking about making a plague mask. According to wikipedia the first one was made about 1630, I thought maybe earlier than that. Could that be a future project you could show how to make. Thanks

Hi Harry! I'm so glad I've found your videos. They are very informative and to the point. Where are you from? Your 'th' sounds like a 'v' to my ear. Strange that! I'm a New Zealander so I'm sure I'd sound different than you're used to also. Cheers!

Looks nice but I’d want something a great deal thicker. But my arthritic hands are needy like that ;)

That was very nice, Harry. I am a complete novice at leather working. Can you do this directly on a handle as well? If you could not slip it on or off like this one, I mean.

Thanks for the video. Do you have an name I can search for coloured linen or other natural thread? I like it more traditionally and environment friendly if things get some how lost.

that is one heck of a skiving knife, where did you get it?

What thread need to use for stiching leathers

Sağol, Əziz İnsan, əllərin, Var' olsun, Usta 🇦🇿

what size needles are these?

Did you make that tool?

Could you please do a car steering wheel?

Can that stich be done under pressure, to tighten a wrap around an object shaped in a way that wouldn't allow a wrap to be shipped on it?

10:08 now it looks like a psycho's tool!

I somehow got unsubscribed
