This is another 'basic video' as the others related to steering-wheels. It has the purpose to help interested users to put into practice some of the 'trial and error method' and get accustomed to the handsewing technique.
The video has no audio nor texts to let the students do their own research and ask questions if some doubt.
I hope you find it useful!

[@meademorgan6614]

Man that is so awesome. I was with you until the sewing machine. I don't have one or access to one. But I am going to try this, I will just have to go the stitching on each piece by hand. If I measure it out correctly, using the template you made for marking out the stitches. I think I can make this work. It will probably be frustrating, I will most likely have to do it more than once, and cost me a bit more. But I want a Red shift knob, to match my Red leather MOMO steering wheel and the custom Red leather shift boot and emergency brake lever cover I bought from a craftsman in England. I have searched high and low for a Red leather shift knob for my car, but they were all either cheap looking, metal, or just plain junk. Nothing as nice as this. I am definately going to try this. 🤔 You do outstanding work, thank you for posting this. On the chance ( more like probability ) that my efforts fall short of my expectations. Do you accept commissions by mail? After I ruin my shift knob, can I buy a new one and send it to you for professional results? I would like a nice bright red, with black stitching. The shift knob is for a 1996 Volkswagen MKIII Cabriolet. Once again very nice work. Thanks for posting.

[@Cechaflo]

Not a big deal, just some practice beforehand. I would recommend to first do the training on 'stretchy vinyl'. The 'hand sewn stitches' also work perfectly for it. Remind the 'key' is match the pieces one in front of the other to do the hand sewing. Thanks so much for watching these videos!

Signore Cesar, Your work is wonderful demonstrative, Beautifully filmed and perfectly executed. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm interested in a few questions. First question: What you wipe the leather 37:41, I mean, it's acetone or acquaragia or ragia minerale? Leather cover after these steps, have not changed, so I don't understand what kind of solution did you have in the plastic bottle, often after the acetone(acquaragia or ragia minerale) may be dissolving leather cover and then the white thread(or any other contrasting stitch to the color of the leather ) to be painted. Last question what finish for the leather you are using?

[@Cechaflo]

Hello, The liquid I use is called here in Mexico 'washer'. it is a product shoemakers use to clean off dirt, glue, etc. without damaging the surface of leather. I don't know the composition, sorry. In fact 'automotive leathers' come with a 'transparent sealer/ lacquer' on top surface. Sometimes, I add more 'lacquer' (by hand) as a reinforcement, because these parts are of daily use.

[@Raptor3388]

Hello, thanks for the great detailed video. I've just done the pattern for my Trans Am shifter knob (one piece design with three cuts) thanks to your explanations. Now I only have to take it off, cut the piece in the final leather, apply it to the knob and hand sew. Now I was wondering, could I use lamb skin instead of traditional cow leather ? I love the touch of lamb skin and I happen to have some meant for leather jackets and handbags. But I have the feeling it wouldn't last long.

[@Cechaflo]

+SuperDuty455 I'm so glad the video was useful for you! ...I think you're right...automotive leather would last longer because it is thicker and it has a sealer/lacquer on top that protects it from daily rubbing.

[@Raptor3388]

I ended up using cow leather. It turned out pretty good ! It's great to have the knob look right. What is the sealer/laquer you are talking about ?

[@Cechaflo]

+SuperDuty455 Automotive leather is also called 'top finished leather' and it comes with a coat of a 'transparent waxy sealer'...it stops the leather surface from peeling off. Wet a piece of rag with water and rub some part of same leather and verify if some decoloration (if pigment is going off)

[@Raptor3388]

Ok, I don't see anything on the rag. It's recycled leather by the way, I used the leather from a damaged and way too large perfecto jacket. I don't know if the links will work here, but here's the shifter knob : www.flickr.com/gp/139556863@N06/t7x8ym Ad the parking brake handle I did today : www.flickr.com/gp/139556863@N06/Y3J7Q1

Felicidades Maestro. Soy aficionado del cuero.También orgullosamente mexicano. ¿Qué tipo de hilo y pluma utilizas y dónde la puedo conseguir?

[@Cechaflo]

Estimado Camilo, Los hilos de polyester que utilizo son muy usados para la tapicería de muebles y carros. Es de la marca Omega. Son algo resistentes a los rayos del sol y a la humedad. Para darles algo mas de protección se les puede pasar/frotar con cera de abejas (muy usado por los artesanos de la piel/cuero) El hilo número 8 es el básico que usan casi todos los tapiceros y es para coser la mayoría de piezas, digamos piel, tela, vinil, etc. El hilo número 'cero' que uso para coser a mano las 'agarraderas' es decorativo y se utiliza para coser las costuras de adorno (por encima) que van en las orillas de los muebles o de los asientos de carro. Esta es la página de la fábrica de hilos Omega:www.hilosomega.com.mx/tips La pluma de marcar le llaman 'pluma plata para marcar piel/cuero'. La usan mucho los zapateros, tapiceros y otros artesanos. La consigue en una tienda de artículos para zapatería y artesanía del cuero. Por internet puede comprar las plumas (cargas) en amazon o ebay
