[@darleneshipe7120]

Great information! Love how kind you are and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us! Thank you Harry!

[@johnhammack12]

As always Harry... nice video... like you I like the challenge of making things myself... explains why I was a mechanic for 40yrs.... thanks again

[@groundskeeper5292]

I cut some leather sheath parts by hand and always wondered how to get them right and the same every time. Thanks for the info. A whole world of stuff out there that I never really knew about!

[@harryrogers]

Thanks

[@scottmorrell148]

I like the challenge of making things. I have made 3 or 4 clicker dies for bags and a wallet.

[@rondumontier1187]

I made a few of my own clicker dies in the past. As you say, special tools are needed. I have the hard ones made now. Nice video.

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Ron...a good approach!

[@aggieduke1]

I am lucky. Texas custom dies is only about 15 miles from my house. I Enjoy your videos very much Harry.

[@harryrogers]

Yes very lucky, and thanks Paul.

[@jackreeves3001]

Another marvelous video. I love the Russian Hatch leather.

[@harryrogers]

It's very expensive but yes super leather to work with, and to enjoy in the finished product.

I wonder if a vintage book press work well for cutting out patterns 🤔

[@thevanwithnoname973]

Hello Harry, a good informative video, did you get that Weaver press sent over from the US?, and how much was the shipping. Thanks

[@harryrogers]

Yes but use Logis des Cordes in France and shipping is then only about £100!

[@thevanwithnoname973]

Thanks Harry.

Is the knife you use available or could you suggest an "affordable" version? That's the thing that quality tools are so important the price point is so variable with knives. I like my Osbourne brand tools which are an American brand, They make a knife that looks similar to yours. Any advice? Is it worth spending the money on a more expensive knife.I will look through your videos . I am sure you covered this...I wish I had space and money for a press it seems like it really streamlines your process and keeps every component consistent...Of course you make your own clickers! You are so amazing and talented!

[@harryrogers]

Hi the knife I use most is a simple Dafa circular cutter which is very reasonable...the Osborne tools are great quality. Best regards Harry

[@ronin5273]

Hi could you please write the name you say i cant find it on ebay or wal mart. Is it steel roll dye?

[@harryrogers]

Hi..Steel Rule Die cutting rule....for you e.g. Milwaukee Steel Rule dies

[@jaredlanny03]

Wonderful video! I thought, though, that you'd kind of stopped making them - It's been a while since I've seen one of your videos. I decided to check, and sure enough, there's been a dozen or so of your more recent video's that KZbin hadn't decided to show me! One would think that if a person "subscribes" to a channel, that they'd be allowed to see those videos on the "subscription" page.... but I guess not. So - I've got the notification bell clicked, hopefully I get to watch more of your videos moving forward! (sorry, a little "i'm frustrated with youtube" rant)

[@harryrogers]

Thanks Jared...it's good you hit the bell..does seem a bit random!

I have always liked the look of the weaver press. However, it is expensive and I assume shipping to the UK would be astronomical (but haven't actually looked). I have thought of buying an old cast iron book press, solid built with a large surface area, unlike the hydraulic or arbor press, but I have never heard of anyone using one, so don't know if the pressure would be enough. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

[@harryrogers]

Thomas - to get one into the UK go via Logis De Cordes in France...it will save you a fortune on shipping.

[@bobbymiller1414]

Hi Harry sorry I'm all these questions I want to Weaver leather and you have a bigger press 2 is 7 tons has a bigger table bigger stuff great machine I'm going to get one of those saving up for Weaver leather has a lot of nice machines almost one of the last of American made I'm in Canada it's not too far from Canada being in the leather business since I was 16 years old seen a lot of things make shoes saddlebags and clogs I enjoy your videos you need any knowledge of older Machinery I have a lot of older machinery thank you Bob

[@harryrogers]

Hi Bobby, I do like the Weaver tools, super quality. I have the 4 ton but as you say they do a very good big one as well. I also have their Heritage skiver. Not much Weaver kit in the UK sadly, as no stockist as far as I am aware.

[@ctx4241]

I am wondering, i have tried all sorst of combinations of words like "steel rule die clicker custom shape cutter europe" kinda thing but literally no europe situated manufacturers popped up. I might have messed with google since I was 4 months overseas and with location tracker thing it might be the case that he is looking for results still in US. could you point me out to some good manufacturers in europe?

[@harryrogers]

Hi Jan...if it's supplies you are after then Partwell Group in the UK have tools and supplies. If you are after a clicker press by Weaver then Logis des Cordes in France can import them from the US and then ship to the UK.

[@ctx4241]

@@harryrogers I was more into finished dies and where to order them based on my digital files. You have no idea how much I would love to fidget with self made dies but only company that I found on online that was offering suitable bending jig was hungary company that was asking for my company credentials which amused me greatly :D also I have checked all second hand places online and for now I either do not know how to translate what I am looking for to my mothers tongue (since there were lots of pipe bending jigs offered) or nobody is offering such thing (or I am looking wrong places)

[@harryrogers]

@@ctx4241 Perhaps try Yellow Pages...especially for the Walsall area...or put the following into EBay UK and a firm comes up: Clicker Press BESPOKE ACRYLIC Cutters Tools Dies Knives for ATOM SAMCO HAWKES

[@johnkennedyswenja]

Harry, I was negative about how to make clicker dies at home and I apologise. A simple 3.5 " square clicker die would cost me $67.49 to buy.

[@harryrogers]

Hi John I think your view is sound! It's expensive to make a few on the DIY route, and in retrospect I think commercial dies are a good option if you want only a few! Rgds Harry

[@tree6858]

Thanks needed that keep it up

[@chrissollars3492]

Would a fly press work?

[@harryrogers]

I guess it should work....certainly worth a try.

[@FLQ309L]

I want to find the bending tool

[@dmail00]

Harry I now know you will hide this comment as you have my others, so this is a message just for you. Not only have you lost a youtube viewer from your foolish hiding of comments but also a potential customer.
