I think the reason there is a Christian revival, more specifically Catholicism, which is true Christianity, is because the culture has gone so far to one end that people now have to search for the truth themselves. Conservatism is really just liberalism masked. Catholicism is unchanging truth. This need for an unchanging teuth that is universal is why I think yhe TLM has such appeal. It is beautiful, but it is also the Mass of all time.

In fact, it was the first wound dressing. A knot that could be untied with one hand and bandaged the wound was important. A tie is not an ornament or decoration. It had its real purpose.

Trench coats were privatly bought by officers. Wool is fire resistant and when wet retains some three quarters its insulation. By far the best material for WW1 in the wet western front. By the Korean war, the world understood that and new Zealand's wool industry expanded 400,%

I love my tanner's tape, but when I have to use glue I apply it with a small scrap of leather. I save my leather dust and the dots that come from punching holes so after the glue dries on the little scrap I punch holes in it until it's gone. I use the dots as filling for leather stuffed animals and anything that needs stuffing.

Great video, i am new to leather craft , can you tell me what size of the edge beveler you are using, because size 3 for different brands is different , also suggest some brands .
@Josephmedcalf02 ай бұрын
You are correct different brands will have different sizes if they are the same number. For the main edges of belts you can either use a size 2 or 3. I use a size 3 Palosanto edge beveler for the edges of the belt and a size 0 edge beveler from Weaver Leather Supply for the belt keeper. In terms of brands Palosanto is probably the top of edge bevelers but they are a little pricey. You can also look at wuta that are a bit more cheaper and have a design similar to Palosanto. However, I haven’t used them before. The edge bevelers from Weaver Leather Supply are high quality and pricy as well but the design isn’t the best on thinner leather. But what you can do is bevel the piece on the edge as I’ve done in previous videos. I also do have some tool videos as well.

MeToo to the plow gauge. Very expensive and I thought it would work better than the cheap strap cutter due to all the rollers and guides but it just doesn't and is so much more finicky to adjust. Second is the Craftool "Pro" stitching groover- in this tool, the groover bit is in-line with the handle and has the guide as the L-shaped piece and I thought this design would allow a straighter, more controllable groove than the regular style grooving tool with the offset L-shaped grooving bit, but was I ever wrong.. The in-line grooving bit is so much more prone to wandering off wherever it wants and ruining projects... The regular style of groover is actually so much more controllable but really needs the centre post to be thinner so it can ride the edge of the leather more precisely and consistently vs the blunt rounded post, but I still prefer it to the so-called "Pro" design...

Completely agree, I’m surprised with how many other people regret the plough gauge. I had a look at the tool, I’ve never used a groover before. That’s a great description, thanks for that 🙂

Yeah I think I wasn’t doing the technique correctly and my dremel would speed up too fast. That’s a good idea to go over with a burnisher afterwards. Less strain on your shoulder. 1 belt is fine to completely burnish by hand but more than that you’re shoulder starts to hurt.
