Harry, Excellent analogy to shoe lacing. I have been looking for a way to wrap not only steering wheels, tools, etc the covers produce commercially are so inferior with cheap synthetic material but also I restore vintage road bicycles and I know the handlebars can be wrapped "in situ" as well as some of the tubing to add an elegance --- how about a dark red leather wrapped seat tube. My head is spinning. Great videos and appreciate your sharing your expert knowledge. Stay safe my friend across the pond in Fort Lauderdale.

@zane1os4 жыл бұрын
JoshL you can stitch it on the handle loosely and pull the threads tight once you’ve finished the stitching. Leaving the stitches loose as you go means you can manipulate the leather for getting the needles through. Hope that makes sense.

Great stuff Mr R, couple of questions, why didn't you leave the knife inside the leather handle while you sewed it on ? Was it just because its simpler ? And why no adhesive to stick the leather to the knife as well ? Apologies if these questions are simplistic, I'm quite new to leather work to be honest and come from a woodworking background, but the more I see the more it peaks my interest.
@harryrogers4 жыл бұрын
Good questions...it is a bit easier to sew off the knife...and knowing my luck I would drop the knife!! Good idea 're glue, I may need to but I thought I would see if it loosens up a bit with use, and then glue if needed.

That was very nice, Harry. I am a complete novice at leather working. Can you do this directly on a handle as well? If you could not slip it on or off like this one, I mean.

Hi Gary, yes you could...some people use a screwdriver or similar to push the leather up or down to help get the needle through, and if using thicker leather on say a very heavy blacksmith hammer one could use a curved awl with matching curved needle and not sew through the complete thickness of the leather, but still get this effect.
