Thanks guys! I would love to see more of these videos tucked away within your website, on product pages like I found this one. Doing a little shopping, and ended up with some creative new ideas on sharpening and polishing!
More to come! We are trying to get more of that done.
Kevin, this information is so important to me as a hobbyist in leather craft. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It has made me Happy!
I am just now getting interested in leather working. I have always loved knives, at the point that I realized that all I really needed was a strop to keep all my expensive knives sharp changed my life.
Just a tip about the grinder. I’d buy a variable speed bench grinder so you can go slower or faster depending on the job. Keep up the good work. You guys are great and I’ve learned a lot.
The most help you’ve given me was when Danny taught the trick about pulling on the theread when hand stitching to make sure you didn’t you through the thread when passing it. I use that all the time and it’s saved my butt multiple time. Thanks guys!
I LOVE all of your videos but this one is this most helpful of all them that I have seen! Thank you so very much. Also, I am grateful that when I watch your videos the interaction between everyone is so pleasant. Everyone seems to respect each other. Note that this is the second time I watched this as I did so last year and I came back for a "refresher" view.
Thank you for coming back and revisiting our videos. We're glad that we can help you out in your leather journey!
I have one slot punch for belts and before I punched with it I used 2000 grit sandpaper taped to a stick and dressed up the edges to a perfect bevel. (I make knives) I made my leather table with plywood and then covered it with those stick-on floor tiles and then bought two cutting mats for cutting a 6 foot long straight edge with an $8 six foot ruler I bought at Home Depot.
When I cut a slot for a belt buckle I punch a hole at the ends of the slot mark first. Makes it much easier to get a slot punched.
For stropping my knives I use 1 micron/16,000 grit diamond compound on a leather strop. Very aggressive and works fast. Making knives I learned diamond makes a mirror finish on hardened steel a lot faster than polishing compounds.
As a new leather worker Thanks for all of your videos.
Glad you like them!
Let's hear more from Liz!
Thanks a million for this video. I wish I would have been able to to get these tips years ago. Thanks again and God bless
Turn that tinfoil into confetti. It'll never hurt the scissors and works every time. My grandmother taught me that!
The constant giggles drive me away.
Hey Denny, to sharpen ALL scissors, fold tinfoil over 5 or 6 times then cut it multiple times. Sharp as hell, be careful!
Thanks a bunch for a great presentation. BTWay, I mount wheels on partly threaded long bolts. That way my variable speed drill presses mounted in 1/2 cut out cardboard boxes, give a horizontal polish wheel travel, that seems safer to me. I use HFrt. rotary sanding drums with up to 1200 emery cloth, just before Emory boards, works well for me. Wood, Emory, and charged up leather wheels all help.
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, Great guy's, you can make a sharpener and strop by cutting slots in a 2x8 or 2x12 and glueing in 16oz leather on end about 2 inches apart works great, I WOULD LIKE 2 WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A SAFE AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Thanks so much!
I found that a piece of cereal box cardboard with some jewelers rouge used on a nice, flat granite slab works great as a strop.
Yes, I frequently use tricks like that when I don't feel like digging out the sharpening stuff, including pieces of wet or dry paper in the kitchen knife drawer (Silicone carbide, of various grits), on a flat cutting board to sharpen knives quickly in the kitchen.
Thanks for the info. Tip: if one uses leather that is too soft, or on a soft surface, or if one pushed down too hard, the strop will round the cutting edge over, as you demonstrated on 'the don't do this' portion of the video at 18 minutes. do just enough to remove the burr that formed from sharpening
Excellent! Thank you!! I have one of those old red tandy things. Never used it.
Love these live streams. Great work folks:)
We have certainly learned a lot of how to get better each time. Just like we know you did with your channel. Great content from you as well!
i know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Maxton Jake instablaster =)
@Tristen Brooks i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Tristen Brooks It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account!
You know he's been around little kids that want to help! The time I was most grateful for that lightweight poly mallet was after the kiddo finished stamping his scrap leather and decided to whack me over the head with it.
I was walking into the courthouse with scissors once, forgot I had them and security was incredulous that I thought I could come in with them. I walked out to the edge of the building and tossed them on the ground near the building. Went in and spent my day of jury duty and walked out at the end and collected my scissors.
I am just starting to get into leather crafting and I never thought about using a buffing wheel, even though I already have one. I use it for polishing my smoking pipes. Now it is a multi purpose tool.
Isn't awesome when you find you have the right tools for the job!!
@@SpringfieldLeather now I need to find a burnishing wheel to fit the other side of it, lol
for the wire to sharpen the edger use your harness needle will a thin piece of leather on top of it.
Loved your video. I found the Jewelers rouge link you posted for someone else but I am still having a hard time figuring out which emery paste to try. If you think of it, and can spare a moment, please make a recommendation for that. And please make more videos. I didn’t even know the words you were using until now. Thank you again!
Thanks. Very helpful.
The sharpened needle sticks your finger much better
Gonna take me a little while to through this video but the first 10 minutes was pretty informative, probably finish it tomorrow. Gotta say though my name is Denny as well, and its always interesting when I come across another one. I subbed and will be checking out some vids.
Great video, as always! But if you had an old "Kriss Kross Blade Stropper", that would have taken the cake! haha I'm not old enough to of actually had one but seen one in an antique store once and had to find out how it was used.
I find that mothers chrome polish or autolove works really well and. i see this is just pre pandemic..
Thanks for the awesome vid! Really useful, and paired with a Christmas jazz video playing in the background, it became a very merry leathercraft video :,D
Glad it helped!
Great Video!!! But you didn't show how to sharpen and polish an adjustable V-Gouge tool.
I tried to use a brand new one today, and it was pretty sharp but it had difficulty doing a smooth and even job of things.
So I came back to this video and it wasn't covered. I Polished it on my strop and got it a bit better, but I'm not sure about the inside the V of the blade.
Also, concerning the paint on chisels and punches, I have a bunch of Tandy's stuff and it all comes with black backed on powder coat or something that is very tough to get off.
My question is on these tools are they calibrated to size so the coating makes up part of the size?
And if you remove the coating will the tool be slightly undersized then? Not that should make a whole lot of difference, but it would be nice to know.
Thank You Kindly for your time, and Great Videos!
I thought i was the only person to sharpen ex to knives
I saw a board with cord on it coated in compound for stropping edgers.
Very easy to make one of those yourself and use your beveler to make the contour...that way you are just polishing and sharpening. Not completely reshaping your tool.
I have this buffer from Harbor Freight: www.harborfreight.com/6-in-buffer-61557.html $52 regular price I think it was on sale for around $30 when I bought it. I put one of the wheels like Denny showed on it and it works like a charm. Sharpened all my tools including the blades for the industrial knife. I have gone through a lot of these in the past. I buffed a couple of dull blades for a few seconds and they cut better than new ones. Thanks for this tip. What a time and labor saver. That buffer is bolted to my work bench now.
In regards to the edgers, edge a scrap piece and then put your compound on the edge.
Sewing awls have an elongated triangle. Push it in too far and you cut right out of your scribe line and out through the edge of the leather. Soooo do we need to eliminate the triangle (wedge)? and make it a straight dirk?
I have often put a piece of scrap leather underneath when using a round punch, thinking that is better than the poly cutting board. Is that better, worse or does it make no difference vs the poly board?
Round diamond rods work real well on those inside edge on those English points.
Put the rouge on the edge of some card stock for the tiny ones.
Great idea!
To sharpen scissors simply some cut FINE grit sand paper. It will make them like new!
Is the rubber mat the same as the pound board you are referring to? I"ve been using a rubber mat, but used to use a poly cutting board. Sounds like the poly cutting board is the best? Thanks for posting this information.
I think the poly board is better than the rubber mat.
Your web site is impossible to find thread for the cobra class machine. There is also no phone number to call you or a way to search for sewing machine thread
There is a search feature under the magnifying glass. Also, you can find the thread under machinery since it goes with sewing machines.
There is a contact us and a call us link in the footer of every page of the website as well.
Here is a video of navigating the new website. This will be updated soon to so some other new features we have.

You really talk about your customers like they are idiots. GOOD THING we have older leather stores to go to.
P.S. 33° is a very magic number.
Whose the uncomfortable lady in the left side?
That’s Liz. This was still early on in us doing live videos, so we were still really learning how to interact on camera.
Hi guys,I was wondering, are you a family owned business, and are you the family?
Hello Earl. We are a family owned business. I own it, and we have other family members here and friends as well.
Kevin
What about Denny and the young lady in your video? Are they your children?
Liz is the young lady I'm referring to.
I’ll never understand why anyone representing a business would mock and laugh at their customers and talk to/about them as if they’re stupid. Mostly done by people who aren’t funny in the least and are desperately trying to outdo each other.
Not the smartest business strategy in my opinion.
I’m not a customer of their’s and probably never will be.
Skrung bob
Denny referring to meeteetse wy....... I live in meeteetse..... 😳. How does he know.....🤔👽
Denny has his way...we have to be very careful around him. ;)
Osborne tools suck! I have bought quite a few this past year, every, single one was too dull to punch paper let alone leather. I can obviously sharpen them, but for the price I expect better quality. Even the rotary hand punches are junk, I bent the handles because the tips were se dull, and had burrs on them. I will never buy another Osborne product, I emailed customer support, I didn't even get a response.
Osborne tools have a lifetime guarantee. If you are unable to use them all you have to do is let me know (if you bought them from SLC) and I’ll refund you or replace or whatever you wish. And even if you didn’t buy them from us, I can probably help you out. Kevin@springfieldleather.com
I have a lot of Osborne tools and have felt the same way about them as Lyx did. After watching this video I realized I had a Harbor Freight 6" buffer with the type of wheel Denny was using. I got it out and used it with white buffing compound and what a difference. Those Osborne tools sliced through leather like butter. Thanks Kevin and Denny for the tips.
Unfortunately your sarcasm and talking down to the viewer stopped me from watching it. I would prefer a “what to do video” rather than this. Look at the section on applying compound to the leather and see if you recognize how condescending all of you are.
Give that guy a tissue. Geeesh lol.
Goodness, that was helpful. I spent at least 45 minutes of my last tooled wallet fighting with the stupid stitching punches trying to yank them back out of the holes. Looks like I'm going to be doing some polishing!
Hello , I still have a question, ,, wat is it tath you put on the leather to sharp your tool ? ,, I'm living in Brazilië and I'm learning so much of all your great videos, tank you so much for this.
I hope you can answer my question, tanks , may God bless you all 😀

@@SpringfieldLeather tank you so much, this is really helpful for me 😀👍👍👍
Why dose Liz have an Adam's apple?
Everyone has an Adam's apple, it's just more visible for men because the larynx in men naturally grow larger in youth, making it more visible. The same thing can happen to women as well it's just not usually as prominent in women. Thank you.
Could you please provide some details? You say that these CS Osborne tools are 'hardened' steel. Exactly what steel are they made from? And what is the HRC hardness rating of them? I make knives, and do my own heat treating. Over the years, I've worked with 15 different grades of knife steels. I've hardened them up to 65 HRC. And, of course, tempered them back to 59 to 62. Now steel whose edge is 55 or 56 will fold over, when hammered into a polyethylene surface with a 5 pound mallet. By the way, you said your surface was poly???? something; actually you didn't say. So what poly- material is it. If I hammer a blade edge (that's been tempered to only 62-63)into the same surface it will chip; because its too hard. So, please tell me, Springfield Leather people who should know, what are the hardnesses of the tools you demonstrated?
Leather tool makers such as C.S. Osborne do not provide that hardness information or the grade of steel they use (check their website), so you can't expect Springfield Leather to know. The "poly" referred to is high-density polyethylene (HDPE). And if you are one to use a 5-pound mallet to drive a leather punch, you may as well use your custom-made knives to open tin cans.
I sharpen everything and I’m very good at it but I learned a lot of stuff from this video thank you
You all work wonderfully together and make watching your program entertaining and educational. Thank you!
A dremel found its way to me last year. Could I use it someway to polish edges?
With the right attachment and situation I’m sure it would be great
I learned so much from this. Thank you.
