I wish there was a way to acquire tools like that easily! If I only knew where to look, its far cheaper and longer lasting than electric machinery.

As a leather worker I was glad to see the project, and then I thought "it would be so easy to make a new cover", but in the end I always like to see usable goods restored. I will have to consider trying to restore old leather in the future rather than just replacing it. Well done sir. Also I now want a vintage "mini torch".

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

I just found your channel and subscribed. I'm a hobbyist leather worker and I also do my stitching by hand. I couldn't tell if you started with a double stitch or not. I start in the second hole, then go to the first and back to the second. It gives you a double stitch at the beginning.

Very good job. I really appreciate your videos and your skills. Concerning the stiching, personnally; I don't make any knot at the end, I only make 2 or 3 stiches backward, I cut the thread and melt the end if necessary (for the beginning, I start 2 stiches before the end and then go backward. So the ends are reinforced by double stiches).

[@FFD_Restorations]

Wow, I'm glad you think so! Thanks for sharing! Great tip, I'll try that next time 👍 Take care!

[@andyc750]

another quality restoration, particularly impressed with the sheath rescue, that is superb and brought back from the brink of being scrap, also see you have a few new tools and such in the shop, anyone from back in the day would have been proud to have a shop like you now have, particularly like the jewellers paraffin torch, don't see them often, one pointer with your glue, if you add some charcoal dust and some plant matter it will remain more flexible and so less likely to shatter, have a look at how to make pine pitch glue as there are a few videos on it, very ancient technology that is as well, love the fact that you used pine sap to hold it together though, not many do that now

[@FFD_Restorations]

Awesome, thank you kindly sir! As always I am grateful for your kind words and knowledge sharing. I feel truly privileged. Would be awesome to have you in the shop and listen your projects and learn new skills. Stay safe my friend!

👏GREAT... 👏GREAT... 👏GREAT... THIS it the restoration criteria that I was talking about in my last comment... Bringing things back to life and show how beauty the woods and the Cooper looks like with fine polishing... And at the same time, keeping all things as they where found as much as posible, by not wiping out the passing of time 100% like you did with that blade, and by not making a brand new leather shith.. PD : And as it would be few, you used natural rasing tree glue, and the good old fashioned way to type messages to give technical details to describe the steps you taking...👍

I can only imagine how much time you've spent cruising Etsy for all of these tools. Perhaps you inherited some also? I've spent 5 minutes on Etsy, entering Vintage Tools, and so much comes up! I wish I were young again, and could follow you down this wonderful rabbit hole! :) One other thing- you are a tall-ish man. Your shop is built for a small (or perhaps average) person. I'm very tall, and have spent much of my life stooping. I encourage you to adjust your workbenches. You'll thank me for it, even though I'll be long gone! :)

[@FFD_Restorations]

I buy tools locally here in Norway. Etsy is expensive, plus tools and shipping... I'm 1.8 m, but I hear you. I want to respect how they did it back in a day, and experience what they experienced. Raising benches and making it more practical would ruin that spirit in my opinion. I appreciate your concern and helpful suggestions
