To prevent rust, a VERY light coat of oil will protect your tools. For the smaller ones, such as needles, store them in something like a pill bottle, altoids tin, etc and add some dessicant. An additional tool I'd suggest qould be a sail cloth needle and an S curve needle, especially if you're an outdoorsman/woodsman

Very good video and helpful to me! I'm looking into doing some small leather projects. I've been watching leather working videos the past couple months which has really increased my interest and looks like a good hobby to keep me busy now that I'm retired. I ordered a kit earlier today from Amazon which will have some of the things I need and be able to use but likely a lot that I won't use. Just seemed like a good deal. Wish I'd have caught your video earlier and just gone with your list to begin with but I'll be going with your list when I find out what I really need. New subscriber and thanks for posting!

Thanks for the kind comment! The kits are perfectly fine, especially if you only desire to make a few things here and there. The list I made is just a great place to start if you intend on growing beyond simple projects. Either works well though! I started with an Amazon kit myself, and used some of the tools up until very recently.

Great recommendations. But you mentioned needles being disposable. They definitely are, unless you get John James needles. I used to break a needle every couple projects, but I've used the same two John James needles for over a dozen projects and countless stitches. At this rate, the pack of 25 needles I bought for $8 will outlast me. Lol.

Hi! The needles I recommend last a long time as well. I found that over time they get covered in glue and wax. Sometimes if they sit in a moist basement (like I work in) they rust over extreme lengths as well. And once either of these happens, I prefer not to use them anymore. My older needles are still useful and I get 30+ projects out of them, but in the end I still prefer to switch them out occasionally as a new needle almost glides through the leather and feels great in hand. But In the end this is all personal opinion still

Personally I like using a small cutting mat (I think it is A3) as I can easily rotate it on my desk when lining up leather to the grid so I am not trying to cut at uncomfortable angles. I also have a bigger one which is needed for bigger cuts, but getting one that fits your space is important too. For knifes, I was recommended to try a Breakaway Knife or Snap-Off Knife. Like the scalpels you can quickly get a sharp point again without sharpening. I was trying to look up a few of the items, but the big list made it hard to find specific things. i don't know if there is a char limit, but as you have a top ten list could you organise the item links into those ten? Also chaptering up the vid for each item makes it easy for people to look up recommendations for specific items. Loving the vids, these are just some suggestions to help make it easier for viewers.

Lovely comment. Yes I actually never thought about rotating the cutting mat for easier cutting. I’ve almost always never had the option so I never thought about it haha. And yes, I will absolutely restructure the description later today. That is so very helpful and great info for the future!

Description is updated, hopefully that is more readable for people. Thanks again!
