I’ve had this saved for a couple weeks so that I could watch it with no distractions. So glad you made this video sir. It is always the thing I struggle and have the least confidence with. Thank you so much!!

I always wondered what those tools were! I've been an orthopedic shoemaker for 12 years now so I should be familiar with leatherworking but I'm not, just now I am starting to get into it by making belts and small trinkets out of leathers our shoeupper maker doesn't have a use for, hoping to get into working with veg tan leathers soon as well.

Thank you, for all you pass on to us new leather workers. This backing board that you glued on the back of the leather , do you take it off, or do you leave it on?

[@ElktracksLeather]

Whether or not you remove the backing board would depend on what you are making.

Thank you so much for this. What swivel knife and blade do you recommend?

[@hazaremmran5143]

Thank you very much. Do you make leather wet when using the swivel knife?

[@ElktracksLeather]

Yes, it is lightly moistened with water before cutting.
