Estate or garage sales here in the states have been good for me. I found a kit with over a hundred vintage tools from the 1940-50s. Great quality for $75

I bought one of those kits from ebay right at the start. Probably the worst thing I've ever bought (and I've bought some garbage). I'm still class myself as an absolute novice who messes up more often than not (and enjoy every mistake) but I've found that following your advice on tools and methods things are a lot easier than when I was trying to use that cheap kit. I did buy some Ritza25 thread from Abbey the other day - they had some at 40% off - too good an oportunity to miss. Lovely little cameo from Skylar at the end - think that look was the 'enough talking, I need fussing' one 🤣

Great video-- thank you! I've done a fair bit of leather work--without any knowledge or the correct tools or techniques. I've done leather work on traditional yachts with sail needles and waxed sail twine, made leather handles on traditional bows and other stuff like quivers--doing it all the hard way 😂-- in a state of complete ignorance! I will be watching your other videos!

This is amazing! I tried leatherwork last year and have been slowly doing more. Buying tools and choosing the right ones has been tough, definitely made bad purchases. This series will definitely help alot. Thank you! I love your videos!

Some parallel, flat mouthed, pliers are great for helping pull a needle, or press some edges together, or to help affix hardware.

For this I use a mini pipe wrench.

@jere7429 Жыл бұрын

I bought one of those kits to save some cash but ended up getting better tools so the kits are a good way to learn cheap.

@mechminded2207 Жыл бұрын

The 'full kits' should be avoided, picking the necessary and building from there is important so you dont feel cheated.

@pemj7360 Жыл бұрын

Totally agree. Most kits are cheap and nasty . You get what you pay for

Thank you for this video, the only leathercraft I’ve ever been in contact with before was my grandma’s “skin sewing”, where she uses quite thin leather and sews it by hand using extra sharp cutting needles (I’m sorry, I don’t know the word in English for those). The whole idea of making the stitching holes before you sew it is new to me, so I kind of panicked and bought some tools I thought seemed okay. I realise now I’ve got to get one of those pricking forks, that seems super useful, way better than my idea of using a 1mm hole punch to make each stitch hole individually. The DIY stitching pony idea is pure genius; I’ve already got those things at home! Can you use “regular” leather dye, the kind that comes in a bottle, as edge paint? Unless the edge paint has some special properties, surely you’d be able to do that, right? I’m a beginner on a shoestring budget and I’d like to buy as little as possible.

@JHLeather Жыл бұрын

Glad you found it helpful 👍 yes you can use leather dye for edge stain 👍

Hi Jo, thank you for all of your great videos. I am in the process as a complete beginner in buying the necessary tools. I am interested in buying some sort of pressing machine that I can emboss letters and symbols on my work. Can you recommend any machines for this? Thanks in advance.

I'm starting to explore leather working for a cosplay, and wow, is there a lot to know! Thank you so much for this video (and the rest of the series). Your explanations are easy to understand and not overwhelming. ❤ What is the difference between the scratching awl and the stiching awl? Can one awl work for both applications?

@JHLeather 6 ай бұрын

Hello! SO the scratch awl is a round, pointed awl for marking out and the stitching awl has a diamond blade to help pierce though the leather and widen the holes a bit, so your needles can easily pass though 👍

Do you need a scratching awl and dividers? Also are there any you recommend not getting from eBay/Amazon?

@JHLeather Жыл бұрын

Yes you need these for marking out your work and setting your stitch line. If you check the description there is a link to a blog post on my site where you can download a information sheet on all the tools required and it also includes links to suppliers
