Finally someone answered my question simply on what to do when your thread is too short. Thank you

[@michaeljoyce3153]

For number 3 non scented bar soap works great in place of jewelers past. I've been honing all of my blades with it since I was old enough to have a knife.

[@bagramdave883]

Tony. Your personality, wit, and no non-sense approach to life are your forte. I have watched everything you posted. And bought several patterns. Seriously, you deserve at least one million subscribers. But I think just leatherwork won't get you there. Please start another channel about you...the beauty of Romania, your daily errands, stories about your life at sea, etc. All your subscribers here will sub to that channel AND many more people around the world that are not leather people will love you like we do!

[@michelleelviswalkin2959]

Using the wax when punching holes has changed the game!! You've mentioned this before and this came in handy when working on my bowler. Although, by the time I got this information I was already halfway through the "40" holes that needed to be punched. My hands killed for a few days after this project.

[@johnsvercauski2805]

Well done, straight forward and to the point. Even old dogs can learn a new trick from the tutorial.

[@micmike]

Mr. Diesel, thanks for those great tips and thanks for not dragging them out into some melodramatic event, just great tips with examples. Thanks again

Thank you for your very informative tips and creations tony I like your style

[@stevezytveld6585]

Thanks for all the work you put into shooting and editing this video. This is a really comprehensive list. Finding good and thorough how-to's on the YT has been surprisingly difficult. I look forward to scrolling through your back catalogue. I fell into a leathercraft shaped rabbit hole over the Holidays. I'm finally at the point where I have enough vintage tools from the ebay to work on projects. Right now I'm working on an overly complicated tool roll for my leather-carving tools. I figure the best way to perfect my techniques is to work on some tool rolls and sheaths. Thanks for the inspiration... - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@MacBookAir-cu4fb]

I subscribed after watching just one video from you. Maybe a bit "exaggerated acting" but I didn't skip a second of this video and laughed multiple times! 😂 Like it very much! Greetings from a Hobby Leathercrafter in Germany!

Yah, been doing all of these after seeing them bit by bit in your videos, Im just waiting on those edge dye marker pen thingys to arrive along with the edge dye, Covid19 lockdown in New Zealand included all non essential postal services, so had to wait 5 weeks before I could order stuff.

But want to say u have a fan for life. Henrico grobbelaar from cape town.

[@user-pf6yp8sf4h]

Спасибо за полезный контент✌️👍👍

[@tommaddox1028]

I could sure use a good pinch to cut my stitching holes. I have been using a drill bit and hand drill. Sometimes I need pliers to pull the thread through. Like your helpful reviews

[@pnkrathrt]

A syringe for glue is cool. I use a small silicone squeegy. Easy to get fine lines and super easy to clean.

[@hopeindirect4165]

Craftsmanship of the masters. When I put on ma leather I made, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.

[@sorayayousuf2949]

Thanks for you

[@ChrisJones-qw7bn]

[@ianreynolds6497]

Very good work Mr Tony. "Make a sleeve for your hole puncher" what kind of seam did you use??? Thank you....... Enzo from Italy

[@TheAtarashiiKaze]

Enjoying the videos! Glad to see your smiling face. How many fingers are you holding up when you said "Number 4" ?

[@nadenel8902]

Hi Tony, too cool, thanks for the tips and dry humour! Q: Your stitchingng pony. Is that custom made or something you ordered ? I live in Namibia & it's incredibly difficult to get any type of online delivery here. Even prelockdown.

[@eduardocometta8902]

Excelente!!! Saludos

[@kevinclay7366]

Great video Tony! Where did you get your small anvil? I have been looking for a good one for some time.

[@silvinawessek6668]
