Tools are needed for every hobby!... Compared to other hobbies, leatherwork is extremely CHEAP!!!

Awesome. Clear and concise and a top bloke😊

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@delandbrooks3291]

If you balk at Tandy prices, just look for some Barry King tools. My Dad was a leather carver and did tons of purses, belts etc. What little I learned, the tooling is the "Zen" or part where your creative starts to take over after you become experienced.

[@mariekelsey2038]

Great video! Thanks so much!

[@paulmendolia8483]

You are so easy to understand, moreso than anyone else. Thankyou. I bought a set of leather tools from Amazon which seem to be very high quality and also inexpensive. Some of the tools I have no clue how to use but you helped me.

[@coatizao1]

I feel the same. I enjoy making leather sheaths so much more now having the right tools!

[@anassolihin2625]

nice! 👍😃

[@mikestewartakastewie5685]

Thank you Jeremy!! We needed that video or at least I did!! I’m addicted to leather work too!!! Knives and leather!!!🙏🤠

[@mramanya]

I would love to learn to work with leather. There are so many cool thinks you can make with it.

[@Iheartknives1]

The stitch is called a saddle stitch. Great vid!

[@myvoice5466]

am new to leather crafts and its really satisfiying to work to do beveling stiching all tht.....

[@retroguy254]

BEST tutorial so far on YT. Making my first sheath now.

[@Simplelittlelife]

thank you! Maybe not the best but I was hoping it made some sense 😆👍

[@cheaneysaddles]

Interesting to see how you work leather and make a knife sheath.

[@NuManXplore]

Bruce Cheaney I love your channel Bruce!

[@cheaneysaddles]

Thank You So Much! Glad I found your channel...

I could not agree more about the tooling. Smooth is classy 👍. Another great video. Thank you.

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Sheath came out real nice. Good job.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@MrMarsBlades]

i find leather work great because it's in so much contrast to the hard steel work, it's so much more forgiving, nice video

[@nathan19112]

Love this video

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you very much!

[@deadstickdave9479]

Always a pleasure to watch, great content every time.

I recently bought a leatherworking set and can't wait to make something! Nice work!

[@wholock0001]

It's back!! And just in time too!

[@wizkid8686]

I really enjoy Tandy leather myself. They give a 10% discount to military and first responders which based on the price of the products can really cut down costs. Thank you so much for this detailed list and the close ups. Been trying to find a good burnishing close up to see how well it really works. Thanks again!

[@Kennnyboy888]

Great video. Look forward to you making the new stitching pony. The one that I made from plywood had a wide base so I could sit on it and do the stitching on the floor while I was watching TV!

[@invictusbp1prop143]

That bladed tool you’re calling a “safety beveler” to trim the edges of your work is actually a skiver. You can use it to thin out your leather. Spray it with a little water then you can run the shiver over it to skim off the meat on the back of your leather. I use it most often to thin out the edges before gluing up and stitching parts. When burnishing your edges, it’s helpful to use a piece of canvas to rub that edge down after you coat it with either your beeswax or saddle soap or one of the commercial edge finishes. The canvas builds up heat pretty quickly and really helps to smooth out the edge and start to harden it up a little bit. Then come back and slick it with your burnishing tool. I have a couple that I’ve run a screw into so I can chuck the tool up in a drill and run it down the sides that way rather than working up a sweat trying to rub it like a teenage boy in the shower. Just some suggestions.

[@jlnriddick]

Wow, I feel like I just made a new friend! I came here specifically to gather info about basic tools for leather craft, and I absolutely got more than I expected. Great explanations for each tool (and Bonus - a visual of each tools purpose). Just gathering the correct names of the tools was exciting. (You'd be surprised at the names I came up with for several of these pieces.) You're absolutely right... there is something very satisfying about working with leather, and even your simple (yet beautifully made) sheath was wonderfully satisfying in its finished form. Thanks for this great video, your incredibly engaging personality, and all the helpful info I was able to gain in just 16 short minutes. All the Best to you!

[@vintagecreationschannel655]

Scratch that now I watched to the end. Great job !!

[@OneCanisLupus]

Thanks man! Awesome video!

[@zaidhabib5383]

Thank you thank you

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Definitely a thumbs up 👍. I really want to do the same. I wish you would have shown the knife in the sheath at the end but that’s ok. You made it all look very doable!!! I think I’ll give it a go. Any excuse to buy more tools is a good excuse!!!

[@muzicluvrable]

I’m a Tool Guy Too and I Like the way you make your videos quick , to the point , and clearly explained. I Just started learning leather crafting and you’re right…. theres something about it that isa relaxing…..soothing in a way. ThaNKS FOR A GOOD VIDEO.

Hey Jeremy love your content and this is great as I’ve been thinking about getting some nice tools to make my leather goods. First being axe sheath then a knife sheath. Those tools look like great quality do you have a “goto” place for your leather tools?

[@pareshambaram1234]

Hi Good video. Simple and to the point. The stitching method you were using is called saddle stich.

[@robertsoncletokoerner7012]

There is a youtuber called step one survival that does very nice leather work

[@Odin_Bladeworks]

Love your stuff. Btw the stitching is called saddle stitch or box stitch.

[@LifeinFarmland]

Love this! However didn't get to see you stamp in your makers mark in. 😁

[@Tom_Bee_]

I barely noticed the chickens bc I was too caught up in your infectious enthusiasm.

[@jackspradt1562]

@9:33 -- that stitch is called a 'saddle stitch' my man. great work.

[@duster.]

Awesome video sir. Just deciding whether to get some tools etc. I'm 66 years old and for one reason or another my woodturning lathe is getting dusty. Love the video and your delivery. What was that saying cattywumpus, brilliant There's a place where I use to live called Goongumpus in Cornwall UK. Subbed.

[@hectorelscorpion8335]

Where did you get it the leather tool kit

[@keithhuey4414]

How do you store your leather stock?

[@mountainprepper3837]

Thats a nice sheath but i prefere a more brown dye

[@pareloader5989]

Great video! Where do you buy your tools for leather work? Should I shy away from an amazon kit? Thanks. PA Reloader

[@pareloader5989]

Sorry saw that my question was answered at the end of the video. Lol

[@JoeK0322]

What size is that beveler?

[@Wundercc]

Hey man love your work. But I think you might be ruining your diamond wholes by twisting the awl in the hole after you punch it. I am really new to leather work but, from what I have read, the diamond awl and forks are supposed to create a diamond hole so the stitch's creates, more easily, a diagonal pattern with the stitches. I think it would add that extra + to your sheaths. Anyway love your work brotha!

[@cardinalbiggles1]

I believe it's called a saddle stitch.

[@pauloemiliopereira6319]

👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷I would like to learn to work with leather. I'm going to buy some tools to get started in this business.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@erikiacopelli451]

The grinder is a power tool lol

[@billbaggins]

🤣 1970's calling.. I almost did some leatherwork yesterday but got distracted and ended up using plywood. Might sort out my leather tools today, some are grandads about 100 yrs old. One thing you should have covered is length of thread for a given length of stitching eg 4 inches of stitching needs how much thread.. nothing worse than running out of thread with only 6 stitches left 😟

[@craftygriffo]

General guide is six times the length of the stitch line.

[@billbaggins]

👍 trial and error taught me 5 times, 6 is safer but i didn't have much thread at the time 😁

[@cmont59]

It’s called a Saddler’s Stitch that you’re using

[@beardedgremlin8117]

It’s a saddle stitch I believe

[@samreynolds3789]

I found some of my leather tools from many moons ago. Started doing a few projects but needed a few more, doesn't take much to drop a hundred or two at TANDY LOL. I made a couple of hatchet and folding saw pouches for my two boys for Christmas. Check our my video if you want.

Do you still sell knives? Your website was entirely empty when i went yesterday

[@Simplelittlelife]

Yeah I do. Most of my work is custom and when I do have something up there is doesn’t last very long. 👍

[@jailer23044]

The classic Sheridan style tooling does nothing for me, I've been practicing my tooling with other designs. I've been tooling a lot of Celtic designs lately but the bulk of my carving and tooling revolves around lettering. Your method for locking your needles on the thread is interesting, haven't seen that one before, I just run the needle through the tag end and pull it down over the eye to lock it down.
