Hey Ryan, I've watched several of your uploads and am sincerely impressed with the quality of your videography. It's pretty obvious you bring a photographers eye to your work. You have a great talent and your leather projects are inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@iliyanlaskov4253]

Man, this has to be the best stitching presentation out there. Good job

[@LongHaulFitness]

This tutorial portion is so great! Thank you! I’ve watched so many videos that don’t show the beginning. This is perfection.

[@OldManGoatHair.6985]

Hi Ryan, thank you for the video. I took up leather crafting after seeing you in Tuque. Iv'e always like making things by hand and thought I can do this. It's fun, relaxing, and I get a great sense of accomplishment. And it may also bring in some income. I've been struggling with my stitching but after seeing this video and making some adjustments to my hole punching my stitching is so much better! Thanks so much man. If you ever do a studio tour I'll be there. Thanks again.

[@D.J.M.47]

Thank you for the help in the way you presented the way the stitching was done; and the awesome hole punch.

[@bbrachman]

Ryan, I did purchase several sets of Sinabroks Stitching irons. (Different stitch counts) Based on your review (and a couple of others) You are absolutely correct. These irons are the most beautiful and wonderful to use for making stitching holes. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Well, you did. Thank you. I gain a tremendous amount of information and confidence from your videos.

[@johnfunkhouser6277]

Your videos are teaching me so much. Thank you and keep them coming!!

[@bethroundell8424]

Wonderful teaching. I have two adult children interested in leather crafting. My dad did some years ago, beginner, but before you tube. He would have loved this.

[@Kimcheegirlee]

Thanks for this review! Can you please do a studio tour video? I am about to dedicate a room for my own sewing/leather craft studio and would love to see how yours is organized for workflow efficiency.

[@LittleKingGoods]

Hey thanks so much! That's a great idea. I'll work on a studio tour video. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@constantinlaurent2066]

Love your videos ! Congrats for your works from France (i will begin leather work, your videos give me so much motivation, many thanks)

[@erhandmade4466]

Thanks to you I learned how to stitch both side slanting stitching. Thank you very much and keep shoting useful videos.

[@mrmikemakes]

Such a great instructional. Thank you so much for this!

[@cousailles2286]

So satisfying to watch !

[@notwrkn2mch]

I have watched so many videos on saddle stitching and just couldn't get it right of when to thread over the needle, what direction etc..... This one did it perfectly for me...... thank you so much It was so good i had to subscribe

[@nellfranks656]

Amazing videos bro. I’m diving right into the craft and your videos are so helpful and informative. Thanks & Keep up the exceptional work✌🏽

[@sailorjohnboy2325]

I GET IT! Ryan looks your tying an overhand knot with each stitch, hiding it in the leather and maintaining constant tension throughout the stitching. And the care making sure each stitch slants up. Skill bro, skill...

[@mauriceaustin3657]

Learned a lot. I came over from Peter's video and am totally interested n leather work now. Thank you and look forward to more reviews and how to videos

[@stephenswindle3839]

Couldn’t agree more very clean work nice straight stitching line that’s why your work stands out above all the others on KZbin!!😁✌️

[@sixpotshot]

Always superb videos. Thank You

[@lfmtube]

Thanks for your great video. I would love to learn how you finish the handmade stitches. I saw you using some kind of solder (?) to burn out the stitches but I cannot figure out how it works. Thank you again for your generosity to show your magic :)

[@natiatsuleiskiri6063]

Thanks, complete beginner here, I’ve gone through many stitching tutorials, but only yours helped me 🙏🏻 it’s wavy, because of an uneven punching, but it doesn’t matter 😂 first saddle stitch

Every person learns differently. I like how you explain things! Thanks! 4mm spacing is best with what size thread and needles?

[@PryvatCyan87]

Just starting out leatherworking since i do wood carving and other crafts and gotta say your videos are helping me learn alot quicker than if i was going on trial and error

[@ridgereed8163]

You probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last few weeks =)

[@moisesreid283]

@Ridge Reed definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for months myself =)

[@jamesjimmeyer7775]

Another tip picked up from one of your videos...thanks!

[@UriValdez]

Never mind the awesome tool, Im going to order some just cause of the beautiful packaging.

[@kabily8972]

Hi, thank you for sharing. It is very useful.👏👍

[@elnur.hicaz80]

Thank you very much for tutorial ! Good luck master !

[@michaels2208]

I know this video is old but I will say as a newer person using better irons changes everything. I got a box set of tools from Amazon to start. After 5 months I bought new irons, not sinabrooks, but it totally leveled up my stuff.

[@LittleKingGoods]

Haha yea I love using newer tools too!

[@megapin1]

Thanks for tutor. From Russia with respect.

[@dannyl.wellington4073]

Thank you man good explaining

[@user-zu2rj3qf5p]

Thanks for your info.

[@jasonelder2256]

Hey Ryan, cool video man. Thanks for the skillshare. I was wondering if you could show how you tie it off tho. Keep up the great content.

[@Ari-ei6lg]

Thanks for the video. I always thought I was using a pricking iron from Tandy Leather. My mind was blown when I found out I was using a diamond chisel. 🤯 I know you have made a few videos about stitching, but could you show the difference between them? Do you ever use a circle punch for stitching?

[@CarlosAlberto-ks8cm]

Thank you for this video!

[@JunkJournalideas]

I have been a traditional leathercrafter since 1970's they never had tools like this no youtube either, im proud to be self taught, i appreciate your every stitch, cheers donna

[@alphanumeric1529]

These pipsqueaks have no clue how hard it was to learn anything before the interwebs, or to be seen by ANYONE... they just don't know! Illustration: We do custom leather, we have a cosplay customer, he is currently developing his Thor, we made a belt for him (shin guards next, then chest plate), he picks up the finished belt, he loves it, shoots a few pics... three hours later I'm getting ready for bed and I see a text I missed, the creator of the Thor Ragnorak character says the belt looks awesome... THREE HOURS and our work is in front of the designer of the character. Before the internet, you could work a lifetime and never be seen by people of prominence. It's amazing now, so fast.

[@OneManTrail]

My name is Ryan too, I got the Little King reference immediately. :)

[@PPMOCRG]

Thanks for this. I noticed your pricking iron in another video and I was wondering what kind of tools you use. I could tell that it was a high quality tool.

[@kumich5]

I started leather working as a hobby, made a few wallets for family and friends, knife sheaths and longsword scabbards and low-quality Chinese pricking irons from ebay messed up a lot of my initial work.

[@TravellingMusicMan]

Awesome! Would be good to get your input on finishing a stitch.. i did my first stitch with this video but in the end realized you go back 3 holes right?

[@robertbutler4393]

Ryan, thanks so much for doing this. I’ve watched several videos and have checked out a few books on saddle stitching. None have been as clear and thorough as this one. Really appreciate it. Love your channel.

[@dv5191]

Great videos for those of us just starting out in this wonderful craft! Quick question....pricking iron vs pricking punch? I understand that the punch actually removes a bit of material and I do love the look of the stitching you've done on this video. Is there a circumstance where you may use a stitching punch? Thanks!

[@smalltowntradingco4522]

Thanks for the info, what size where you using in this video? New at leather work still learning about the spacing size in mm 😅

[@gilberttoronto]

Thank you

[@Jimmyyevans]

Hey man great video! But I’m just wondering what size mm pricking iron this one is ?

[@MillsManzo]

Hi Ryan, what size mm do you recommend and what about the prongs? I was thinking of getting one 2 prongs and one 10 prongs to start. By the way, I have no experience with leathercraft but I recently fell in love with it and I'm working on my tools list. Anyway, I love your work!!! Thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge to all of us.

[@sawdust3043]

Great video, what kind and size of needles do you use? Thank you for sharing your craft.

[@KenNguyen-zd1bf]

4mm, he mentions in another video.

[@dahmanus2002]

the soldering iron is an impressive solution

[@samdrizos8939]

It’s called a Thread Zapper! About $8 on Amazon and so worth it!!! I got one after seeing him use it.

[@bbrachman]

Sinabroks stitch hole punches are so much better than a watch hole iron. You can get smaller holes at most convenient spacing. Plus varying number of holes. Not limited to 4 on an iron. I use them for my 1mm thread on thick leather seams. Perfect.

[@LaszloIvanyi]

Nice tutorial. I've seen on the site that there "Stitching Punch"-es as well. That seems to be making round holes instead of this diagonal. Is it used for different parts or different items or it is just styling of the stitches?

[@neerajce]

Round is best as there is even stress distribution and less chance of tear or damage.

[@azaddoctor2630]

you are a great master .good luck to you .hi from Azerbaijan

[@Benjix13]

Great video man. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community... what size irons are they? I just purchased some KS round dents ( awesome tools also) but I’m looking for some quality slant irons.... thanks again!

[@LittleKingGoods]

Hey hey! They are the 4mm 10 and 2 tooth irons.

[@MattWeber]

You get great quality from KS for slant irons too. Supposedly Sinabroks was started by a KS Blade Punch employee that took their secrets.

[@MaxKOdu]

Awesome video. Love the production value! I am curious however how you get the flat heads in line with your stitch line? With diamond heads you just stick the point into the stitch line. I would think with the flat head irons you place the corner of the chisel tooth on the line - however it would appear you have the stitch line in the centre of the teeth??

[@LittleKingGoods]

Thanks! It's all about practice. The more you punch the better you will become. It will become second nature. YOU CAN DO IT!

[@TheCrushenator]

@Littlekinggoods Molotow Makes an Empty Marker Product that might work with the dyes.

[@jevinvries2846]

Sooo therapeutic

[@pjwhaletail]

Would love to see a little tutorial on how to use your pricking irons when going around a corner ( round or square)

[@yubidubi]

Very nice video

[@memakattak]

Hey thanks for the tutorial, quick question what are you using to hold that piece of leather while you stitch?

[@Firewalker688]

Siamak Sh I know this isn’t my channel but I thought I would answer your question. That is stitching pony and it is incredibly useful while hand stitching.

[@christophjoseph2406]

After your review I ordered three of these pricking irons. Jin kindly messaged me and they are being made to order as we speak. Thanks

[@josiesock2297]

And... what did you get? You like?

[@KDLKPRO]

Hello! I admire your work and videos. Tell me, can you make a video on how to sharpen a synabrox punch? I am sure you have a unique technique. I will be very grateful to you! Thank! Good luck in job!

[@edwin5945]

Great video! What size thread do you use?

[@CeeJay254Art]

So getting this. The ones i have stick in the leather and i cant punch thick leather. New to leatherworking.

Feels so good in the hands. Ladies, you know the procedures.

🤣🤣🤣 these are a major major go

[@justinjobin4868]

Hi Ryan, I'm starting up a small leather business and I have watched your videos for a while. You do amazing work and make even better tutorials and I appreciate it. I just ordered my first sinabrok pricks and I was wondering what type of thread you use paired with the sinabroks. I currently use John James needle and tiger thread but I've been having issues with the needles going through the thread and I'm assuming my thread may be to thick.

[@j.double.ya.3366]

I notice there are several options of spacing for the pins for sinabroks ranging from 3 - 5.4mm. What size spacing do you use in your videos?

[@TheMikey445]

@Mark Shaw He answered some time back down further in the comments..."They are the 4mm 10 and 2 tooth irons."

[@KenNguyen-zd1bf]

4mm from one of videos

[@MKWoodworking]

Hi Ryan, thanks for the cool video. Just did my first stiches tonight which are not looking as awesome as yours yet. Think there is a steep learning cuvre to take to get there. Are you waxing your thread or are you just using it as it comes from the roll? Best, Michael

[@InspectorAsh]

Thanks for the video! What size (spacing) do you mainly use for the gear you make?

[@LittleKingGoods]

Thanks! 4mm

[@InspectorAsh]

@@LittleKingGoods Thank you!

[@jakestallard7873]

What size spacing did you choose for yours? Also what size thread are you using?

[@franciscorogel2099]

Sweet video man. What tooth count did you get? I’m getting the 10 tooth iron and debating on the 1 or 2 tooth iron

[@LittleKingGoods]

I have the 10 and 2 tooth. The 1 tooth is basically an awl.

[@BrandLmedia]

Amazing! Thank you for a great video!! / Jonathan

[@VisualsbyRT]

Hey man, Love the video, Im just getting into leatherwork and i can't find any great answers on what the best type of glue to use to stick two pieces of leather together. What would you suggest?

[@MattWeber]

contact cement. Be it weldwood from home depot, barge, Tanner's bond, or a pleathora of other contact cement options. Many people have started to move toward the water based ones for the lack of fumes and they stick almost as well as the more noxious ones.

[@VisualsbyRT]

@@MattWeber thanks mate, I'm based in the UK so will have to find something along them lines! Cheers for your help

[@issiport5978]

Great video! What thickness thread do you use?

[@halllucinogen]

1 important thing i noticed is when you pull the needles, if at the end the one in the left hand is pulled all the way first, the thread stays where it should be. I hope someone understood me and i helped ;d

[@jakobesterkyn7607]

I mean, it's less that brass doesn't have to be strong for that application and more that brass has the right kind of strength (tough and malleable vs rigid and brittle)

[@madcat1007]

Great video. Thanks. Just out of interest are pricking irons designed to go through leather all the way? I see that pricking irons are tapered, thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom. This means that holes on the backside are smaller than holes on the front side. I am using diamond stitching chisels, which are the same thickness throughout their length. This means that the holes are the same size on both front and back. Which would you recommend?

[@LittleKingGoods]

I really like the Sinabroks. A very clean hole in the front and back. The diamond chisels are terrible. I used them when I first started and it just completely ruins the leather out the backside.

[@augustcarvalho2162]

Hi Ryan, great videos, I'm ready to buy some Sinabroks pricking irons for mostly small work, wallets, small bags, etc., I was looking at 1, 2, 6, and 12 prongs, what would you recommend ?.. Thanks in advance, August

[@bazlur-Vancouver]

Do you have the KS blade, is so what are the differences? heard this guy worked for KS blade and made his own company now.

[@DouglasEKnappMSAOM]

I want to make draw blade, axe and knife sheaths in organic plant based leather. How thick should the leather be? Do I need rivets and why? I have no tools yet and am trying to learn what to buy. These pricking irons are the biggest problem. How many stitches per inch should I use? What other tools are a must have for only this type of project? Thanks!! Is there one great book that covers it all? PS I am in Germany so shipping can be a problem.

[@RDSwords]

Do you have some thoughts on when to cut a stitching groove vs just marking a stitching line?

[@thatguythatdoesstuff7448]

The main purpose of a groove is to protect the stitching if it's subject to abrasion and wear. That's why they groove shoe soles. But, I think it also looks good for the thread to seat into a small groove and to burnish the groove after stitching. Something like a wallet benefits from grooving. In and out of the pocket constantly will fray the stitching. I grooved the back of a belt I made, to prevent wear up against denim.

[@RDSwords]

@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 Thanks for the info. That's really helpful!

[@jilljohn1574]

Man that looks beautiful. What kind of thread and size is that? Looks like the thread was made to go with these pricking irons.

[@LittleKingGoods]

Yea it goes super well! Its size #5 Vinymo. It's probably one of the nicest threads I've used.

[@jilljohn1574]

Little King Goods I usually use 0.6 Ritza Tiger thread but it looks like I’ll be trying something new

[@katerinabuscemi4154]

I think I’m sold on getting the sinabroks, Ryan! I prefer the look of the round dent though. Do you still use 4 mm in that style?

[@LittleKingGoods]

Yea the 4mm would look 👌🏼

[@AMC-eq3jr]

I don't sew but it was a riveting 9:19. Thanks for sharing.

[@danieljerloew]

What spaceing iron you would pick, if you had to pick only one size? 4mm spacing?

[@thatguythatdoesstuff7448]

If it were me, I'd go with smaller spacing. Tighter spacing is more work, but nicer looking.

[@Brykk]

What size needle and thread are you using here?

[@madcat1007]

What is the difference between a stitching iron and a pricking iron? Your pricking iron goes all the way through so I cannot see any difference. Love your videos. Awesome.

[@axisofjustice50]

New to hand stitching. Not a fan of using an awl, is there a chisel or iron that will make a BB it enough hole so I don't have to awl the wholes aswell

[@timhallas4275]

I can't afford such tools as this, so I make my own. My first pricking tool was made from a stainless steel fork, that I shaped with a file and heat treated in my homemade gas forge. I never buy tools.

[@watchgeek6870]

Maybe not this fancy tool, but I'll bet if you saved you could afford something nicer 🤷‍♂️

[@timhallas4275]

@@watchgeek6870 There is nothing better at pricking than my homemade tool. I place no value in "nicer"..
