That's such a great video for a newbie! I wanted to start leatherworking, but have been totally overwhelmed with tools selection. Now I know what is truly necessary for my first project! A big thank you!

[@Opensealeather]

Glad it was helpful!

And weakness is never a strength💪. I came for leather crafting, now I have to go do a workout 😆

[@Opensealeather]

Haha

[@TheKnifeShift91]

Brother I had no idea you had a youtube channel. Really cool buddy. It will be nice to watch you work. I recently bought one of your topsider minis and let me tell you brother that little thing is amazing. I had a minimalist wallet already but got even more minimal with your topsider mini. Keep killing it brother. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸👊👊🤝

[@Opensealeather]

So glad you like it!

[@benstrohmwooot]

You’re the man! LOVE your personality. KEEP going, I can’t wait to collab with you my guy 😎

[@shadowtwobravo8888]

Haha the Mark Bell reference definitely got a laugh.

[@Opensealeather]

Hell yeah

[@BeardedMoon]

Dope video and great info. Thanks for sharing the leather gems😎

[@Opensealeather]

No problem

[@turbotoad8782]

Could you do a video on order of machines you’d buy? Sewing machine, bell skiver, splitter, etc.?

[@Opensealeather]

Great idea!

[@Bigcokonuts]

Thanks

[@Kevin-wr9um]

Mark Bell Supertraining. Have some of his gear

[@Opensealeather]

[@TammyMartinBLUE]

Thank you! The wing divider has been a head ache.

[@Opensealeather]

Glad it helped!

[@shankmatic]

Even more insight, thank you. Any tips on burnishing ‘Crazy Horse’ leather edges? Thanks again.

[@Opensealeather]

Don’t? Haha jk. But seriously chrometan is a pain to burnish. Definitely recommend painting or dying those edges instead.

[@ObscureStuff420]

Thanks a lot!

[@Opensealeather]

You're welcome!

[@chrisherbrand]

Brand new to leathercraft and building my toolset. When you talk about pricking irons and mention 3 or 5, do you mean "mm" or "#" as listed on the websites you've linked? Thanks for putting this together, being brand new this is super helpful.

[@Opensealeather]

mm!

[@chrisherbrand]

@@Opensealeather Thank you! I am excited to start. Been trying to find a hobby I can stick with and this seems like it could be one.

[@TonyNicholls-gi9le]

Great Video.

[@Opensealeather]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@RandysWSG]

I appreciate this info. Thank you!

[@Opensealeather]

You are so welcome!

[@RandysWSG]

@@Opensealeather I've been making knife slips lately so any time I come across info that helps is much appreciated :)

[@TAyLOcOMG]

Thanks a lot for the video! Super interesting and informative!💪🏼 Do you have any recomendations for making a punch bag (boxing)? Leather type and thickness, treatemts, thread type and stitch patterns, as well as needles? Thank you🤝🏼💪🏼

[@Opensealeather]

Hand stitching a punching bag would be a major task! I’d use a milled leather around 5-6 inches. Milled leather would be a little softer when hitting it without gloves. I’d use thick veg tan skirting for the attachment points. Stainless steel rated d-rings. Solid copper rivets to attached veg tan to the body of the bag

[@TAyLOcOMG]

@@Opensealeather thanks a lot, that’s super helpful!🙌🏼

[@HollowsDarkness]

What tool would you recommend for setting Snaps and Rivets?

[@Opensealeather]

Hand setters are just fine to start

[@HollowsDarkness]

@@Opensealeather Awesome! thank you!

[@russelljones3171]

Do a part 2 please !!!!

[@Opensealeather]

Will do!

[@Terry-n1i]

[@Opensealeather]

[@sean5632]

This is a really helpful video. What is your spacing on the KS Blade irons?

[@Opensealeather]

4mm is great all purpose spacing

[@sean5632]

@Opensealeather thank you

[@triplec3659]

I always do my best leather making in my wife beater T-shirt!😂

[@user-jo5fz8iw3b]

Great video and info, thank you for sharing - what would be an inexpensive (size) needle to start off with(beginner); even a John James needle size(s) that is/are used most often, standard ?

[@Opensealeather]

John James aren’t expensive. I used the the 00 saddler needle

[@HammerSmashedFace92]
