Thanks for the video. Such simple stitch- nice to look at and comfortable to use. I have a couple of hammers I'm going to try this on. Your instruction reaches "across the pond" to Idaho, USA. P.S. I have an English friend that informs me that I don't speak English. I speak American. Also we speak "Sailing". I guess that makes us Tri-lingual.

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.

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.

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.

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.
