Like the stitch groover idea to aid bending.

[@JHLeather]

It's a great tool for jobs like that, I use the same technique on my cartridge bags.

Nice piece of leather art Jo. I live the blue/yellow combination 👍👍

[@JHLeather]

Thanks Josh, I love this hide which is why the majority of my videos have been with this colour lately 😂

What kind of leather is that? Looks like a delight to work with

[@plinsdell]

Hi Jo. What kind of leather knife is that and where can I get one from?

[@JHLeather]

Hello, the one with the removable blade is a clicker knife which you can get from most places I think, I got mine from Abbey England. The other one is my main knife, its a single head knife I had custom made but you can get some really good ones from George Barnsley and sons, I have 4 of them for use on my courses. I think Abbey sells them or you can go direct. They need a lot of work to start with but once sharp they are really nice knives 👍

[@geoffreyboyling615]

It's a Head Knife; a similar knife with two points is called a Round Knife; they are traditional leather workers knives You can get them from CS Osborne and George Barnsley and Sons - Search Google for these suppliers or the knives themselves A lot of time & effort, and therefore cost in making these knives is in getting them very sharp, so traditionally, to keep the price down, they come with only a basic cutting edge, and you must do the final sharpening and polishing yourself However, once you've done that it only needs a minor sharpening or stropping to keep them in good condition Search KZbin for 'sharpening a round knife' and 'sharpening a head knife'. There are several videos, including one by JH Leather

[@ElliottRodgers]

Hi Jo, love your videos. Am total newbie to leather work so may I ask a (newbie) question. The "creaser" that you heat on hob? How do you make it? Does it always have to be heated to use it?

[@JHLeather]

Hi Elliott, for the best results creaser's need to be heated to give a more permanent finish.

[@tomanderson3007]

Very nice product and great instructions. Could you share where you got those dividers that you used to mark your stich lines, please? It looks to be very heavy duty.

[@JHLeather]

Hi Tom, I got them a long time ago from a tiny shop in Enfield. I think they may be engineering dividers so that would be a good place to start your search. Sorry I can't be more helpful, Jo

[@tomanderson3007]

Thanks for your reply. I'll Google engineering dividers and see what I come up with.

[@vincentbianco583]

Is the grooving you redid at the end for decoration or is it functional?

[@JHLeather]

The crease line/re creasing at the end is purely for decorative purposes 👍

[@trianglephotographyrsa]

Ouch!..it must have hurt when the edging tool slipped and hit your pinky? I love your work! I`m going to start making some leather products, because i`m currently unemployed and it`s hard to find a job in South Africa! But first i must get some tools to work with, i`m thinking of making my own tools i don`t have the cash to buy the tools.

[@JHLeather]

It didn't hurt too much, the sharp bit is really small so all good 👍

[@rollingstockco8223]

That straight edge (ruler) with the curved middle, where did you get this from? I love it! Cheers!

[@JHLeather]

It's a Maun safety ruler, I got mine from Abbey England but I think they are pretty easy to get hold of elsewhere if you do a quick search.

[@rollingstockco8223]

@@JHLeather Thanks so much!

[@catherinecruz3308]

What hardware did you use for the closure? thanks ;)

[@JHLeather]

It's a press stud 🙂

[@JHLeather]

[@Cssfiend]

that beeswax confused me for a moment, it looks just like a walnut

[@JHLeather]

🤣 It is a bit of a funky shape at the moment

[@nickedik]

Who uses inches for God sake!

[@JHLeather]

I trained as a saddler which is traditionally in inches as its an age old craft hence everything I do is in inches.

[@nickedik]

@@JHLeather oh that is adecvate reason.
