Very cool idea. Loved seeing it in your videos and appreciate you uploading it here, too. About the cost of tools for marking and punching stitch holes, tell us more of your thoughts.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Hi Luke, great question. Quality tools pay for themselves in the long term, so looking at it from an investment standpoint, it pays to buy high quality. That being said there are a plethora of 'Gucci' tools flooding the leathercraft market with ridiculously high prices, aimed firmly at the amateur who believes them to be the secret to mastery. These companies then send their tools for free to the top influencers/artisans, who in turn show them off on instagram and, well, the marketing magic begins. This is seen in the supplement and fishing lure industries too. Returning to your question, Wuta Leather's pricking Irons are in my opinion as good as it gets before spending more reaches the point of diminishing returns. Technique trumps tools.

Finch England thanks, Philip. I’m still earning my technique so I’m on the correct path, hopefully. Thanks for all of the advice.

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

You're welcome Luke

@@LeathercraftMasterclass There's always a great insight in your videos. I am really considering to buy access to the courses, even though I don't tend to buy such courses. To add some substance to the post - check out Kevin Lee's irons -especially the diamond ones. kevinlee.global/ I think they are superior to wuta, especially for beginners. First, you can go up to 5mm in depth before the holes start to be too big on the front side. Second, they have pointy tips - Japanese style, which allows you to line them up on the stitch line more easily. They are also fairly priced - closer to Wuta than to Ks blade.

Great tip! Im struggling with the backside of my stitching when using an awl. But also what are the 2 songs that are playing during the video?!

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Thank you! Not too sure, I made this video almost 3 years ago.
