Leather Working Tips and Tricks

[@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!

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.

[@veranazarenko8514]

thanks for the tip!

[@tedmerrick935]

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

[@michaelbecansr9843]

It's guys and tutorials like this why I like KZbin. Thank you

[@odalesaylor]

One of the best leatherworking tips videos I have seen.

[@mrrustygray]

Great teachers share their knowledge. Tony is a great teacher.

[@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

[@Artesaníasytradiciones]

Nicest place Tony I wish to have a place like yours ,God keep blessing you Tony.. u the best ...

[@Melodic_Analysis]

I am brand new to the craft, and so glad I have stumbled upon this channel.

[@vkhandmadeprojects]

Felt tip is a revelation. Thank you

[@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.

[@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!

[@johnsvercauski2805]

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

[@HNXMedia]

Awesome tips! Showing how to install a zipper (as part of the one tip) PRICELESS!

[@Megakgeorge]

great video . Thanks! I'm starting to work with the Leather - very interesting!

[@tommyjohnson4162]

Lots of ideas I would never have thought of

[@digitaIgorilla]

That, Sir, was a moment of enlightenment. I thank you!

[@TysonHaverkort]

Please do one on pattern making. Your patterns are absolutely amazing.

[@alissacipriani8856]

Tyson Haverkort agreed!

[@henricogrobbelaar3502]

Tony thank u so much for sharing crated skills. U are amazing. Also thank u very much for you free gifts in south africa we are on complete lock down not earning any wages at all. What we can do with your free patterns and scrap leather help us forget the struggle. Hope u get blessed by the tons. In the good times i bought some patterns. And those times will come again. But want to say u have a fan for life. Henrico grobbelaar from cape town.

[@henricogrobbelaar3502]

Correction. Sharing your Crafted skills. Apologies english is my third language. Afrikaans and Xhosa is my first two languages.

[@DieselpunkRo]

[@susanneff6558]

[@alanpounds2660]

[@jcdht5931]

[@psmithrpm]

You're a gem. Thank you so much for sharing. And your products are off-the-charts art.

[@D7om242]

hahaha no4 is amazing. thank you so much for the great tips.

[@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.

[@Madein515]

Tried 2 of them today! The wax on the tape and making a punch handle. Both improved my work tremendously. Currently working on the pin cushion pattern from your etsy store. 👍👍

[@calissaobviouslycannotdeci7419]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us! I learn something new every time I watch you work! xoxo

[@casefair1]

[@rafaelgr9297]

Thanks Tony. You are my hero.

[@karlkuhnast8328]

Super Tipps, beste Resultate, tolle Schnittmuster! Ich bin begeistert und wünsche mir mehr Tutorials wie diese. Weiter so und beste Grüße

[@aussiepete67]

G'day, thanks for the great video, I am just beginning to develop an interest in leatherwork and totally enjoyed the way you present and explain your craft, thanks again.

[@jthepickle7]

Great trick - no duds. As a shoe maker, using lots of tiny nails: Wash nails with dish soap, spray with vinegar, allow to rust slightly. This makes the nails less slippery and pulls the leather more than brite nails.

[@patmac1058]

Awesome Tips!!! The Wax and the Glue tips will get used this week for sure....

[@ginnysimpson5232]

Wonderful tips. They will get lots of use. Thank you.

[@0331dragon]

What a great set of tips! These are really going to make my leatherwork better, easier, and more fun.

[@jerrycallender7604]

I'm diggin' on that 'pin cushion'.

[@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.

[@juanramiroescobar]

Great tips. Thank you a lot. Waiting for new videos

[@АлексАлинов]

I use cinnamon scented tea candles, reminds me of Christmas...

[@ghyselenserge1268]

superbe vidéo très instructive j'adore le seul hic pas de sous titrage en français merci pour le partage

[@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

Săracul Jules Verne ! Am și eu câteva volume din aceasta ediție .

[@TheAtarashiiKaze]

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

[@Dthangmi]

Thanks for tips tony sir from sikkim

[@fordfan3179]

Great stuff

[@Christian-cz9bu]

In the states look for syringes in cooking stores, (as they don't readily sell hypodermics).

[@jamescook-xploringcapetown3728]

Awesome video, Thanks Tony

[@rikarus]

Brilliant, thank you Tony!

[@BillyTzENDURO]

The glue syringe is genius.... I guess you have some kind of cap for it too to seal it after use? doing it with a brush is so messy and the brush just end up like a ball of glue!!

[@kjrleatherworx]

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. Ps loved the number 4 hand set up.... lol

[@davidguerrero9270]

Thanks, your guidance has helped me improve my craft a great deal!!

[@HikeColorado]

Outstanding, thanks Tony 👍

[@sergioespinoza2873]

Appreciate the links Tony! Been looking for a solid music provider for content.

[@firinglinechannel]

Good tips. You. Can also age or change the color by leaving it out in the sun. It will “tan” just like human skin. Pretty cool. Tried it a couple times.

[@qwagmire9867]

Thank you!

[@artobell]

Good job. Thanks for tips.

[@TheLidlClan]

HI Tony. Did I just see you spread glue with a skiving knife ( Joking Great video Thanks!! )

[@TheMagicRonin]

Thanks. Very useful

[@alexbianco5439]

Great tips, as usual. Thanks for sharing!

[@matthewdenty7760]

Only a true artists share their tricks 🍻.. many fear others will improve over them ... thanks The wax on the punch looks awesome , will any wax block dye? or will the thread cover up whatever wax has been punched thru the tape?

[@noone8139]

Thank you tony its very cool tips 👍

[@tonycrnkovich1642]

Thank you for sharing.

[@eileenmartha8377]

Great tips, love your videos!😍

[@ChrisLee-UK]

Nice Tony, great tips right there. Can say I've used most of them after watching you use them in other projects :D

[@peterlenhart]

Thank you, very nice !

[@tienkienel4474]

Thank you!!!

[@enzosantomarco9974]

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

[@stavroschatzi3082]

[@АлександрПетрович-д9ц]

Спасибо за полезный контент✌️👍👍

[@piotrpindel7724]

That's f... Great tips. Thanks pal for this movie. 👍

[@Stang1040]

Never thought of stropping a utility blade

[@PerfectWoodGrain]

@Glen Spivey Except that you can make the blade much sharper than they are out of the box. That's the point, to make a common utility blade sharp enough for precision leather work.

[@evaristocardona7490]

DEAR FRIEND, VERY NICE AND THANKS, QUESTION, HOW YOU WILL COMPETE WITH CHINA MADE LEATHER PRODUCTS? ANY SUGGESTION?.

[@hideteak9098]

evaristo cardona I'm not sure China stands a chance :)

[@tomkilcullen5421]

Tony,are you Italian? Your hands move like an Italian. Good videos Thanx so much. Blessings on ya,

[@dadedubbledee]

[@adamgotsenslive5215]

[@sorayayousuf2949]

Thanks for you

[@ValosBespokeLeather]

Really nice advices!

[@bagramdave883]

Christos Vasilopoulos my theory is he is messing with us to see who noticed

[@sturdybutter]

I use the same skiving knife he has, but he uses it as a pry tool and glue spreader 😂 maybe I should invest in a nicer one.

[@lostincheboygan]

Thanks for the tips!!

[@eduardocometta8902]

Excelente!!! Saludos

[@norbertr823]

Thanks Tony ! You da man
