I wanted to learn a simple way of fixing two pair of tennis shoes that I have. You provided it for me without any annoying music. Thanks a whole bunch.
You're welcome
Dave you're a champ. Clear and articulate, easy to follow videos of this quality on RUclips are uncommon. Congratulations on your skills. Best regards.
I'm always ripping the corners out of the pockets of my blue jeans. I think you just gave me an idea on how to repair them . Thanks a bunch!
They'll be solid with that heavy thread.!!
Thank you Dave. I started sewing leather at age 60. 66 now, and have completed the type repairs you show here. Imperfect, but very functional.
Thanks for the great video and explanation of the process! After watching your video I purchased a similar lockstitch sewing awl and was able to repair some worn and torn stitching on my leather caulked timber boots! Your demonstration saved me a lot of time and money that would've been used leaving my work boots at a cobbler! Thank you!
I’m working on a pair of my dad’s boots and I need to get a needle for my stitch awl (broke mine). This was the perfect refresher because it’s been A WHILE since I’ve used the awl. Thank you!
Always wanted one of those stitchers but honestly wasn't sure how it worked. Thanks for this video, definitely going to get one now.
Thanks.
I visited this channel only to learn what that tool is called (awl), yet I found the video absolutely compelling that I watched it all the way through!😀
Thanks Dave, I looked at that stitcher on Amazon, but couldn't figure out how it would work. Now I've gotta get one!
It would be hard to be without one now.
Me (John Matthews on Eugenia's page) again. Especially appreciate your honesty and utility. You never claim to be a super-craftsman. You are like wife and myself--a generalist who can do a number of things, some imperfectly, but all in an economically feasible way that builds independence and freedom. This is what matters.
Thanks I bought one of those at the thrift shop and your demo is excellent! Thanks I had no clue how to use it!!
Ive got a lot of folks who've said that. I'm glad its helpful to everyone, I had no idea there was that much interest in the tool and how to use it.
.I thank you for posting this! I have my grandfather’s old awl and always wanted to learn how to use it. Now I know!!! Thanks a million!
Glad it was helpful!
You have knitted together a radical reboot. Thanks Brian 77
Thanks Brian.
Thanks for the vid! I have 4 pairs of my old work boots that need repairs. $40 for an awl is way better than $300 for a new pair. Hopefully I can get by on these for a while before I have to order new ones.
Love your modest and relaxed way of presentation. Very informative though. thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Well I've been using the stitch awl for years and never ran the thread through the chuck holding the needle. Just goes to show you don't know what you don't know till you do. Thanks I'm sure it will make stitching easier.
Dave! You're a natural teacher bro.
Jack - Canada
Thanks Jack!
You make a great teacher. Thanks for the lesson.
I'm just "winging it", but thanks for the compliment.
Very handy tool I use the speedy stich awl brand I've swapped the heavy-duty leather needle for a heavy-duty sewing machine needle (smaller diameter ) and thread for repairing canvas tarps in the field
Good idea. I have a canvas tent I need to fix...I'll give it a try.

Great tutorial, thank you!
You're awl right
nice to see you got your boots done before you go to Alaska
I landed up with an Awl in a box of old axes I bought at a yard sale, Now I know how to use it Thanks.
Its a handy tool.
Nice work! I would probably use a saddle stitch (punch holes with an awl and use a needle on each end of thread). Saddle stitch is a lot more durable in leather than an awl stitch. Love your channel!
Thanks for the advise Laura!
Great boots, great presentation.
Thanks, Dave...
Thanks Dave.
Wonderful!!!
Now I learned it.
Thank you so much.
Hey Dave, glad to see someone else that repairs their own boots with an awl. I've had one of those for over 30 years. I don't think they changed the design at all in that time. I always have it with me in my repair kit for canoe trippin.
Great tool to have around for sure! What do you use yours for when canoeing?
I like to have a couple different methods of repairing things like glue & tape.The awl is easy to pack when you put the needle inside the handle. I have mended a sandal, knife sheath & 1 hiking boot while in the bush with it.
Right on
Blues is like a real good wife
Yes, the Blues is like a real good wife
The Blues give you comfort and keep you warm all your life.
Repetition is a cornerstone of all music, without repetition you don't have music you have noise.
Ive opened a can of worms bashing the blues, LOL.
Bushradical
Can’t be a good American and bash the blues.....Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Jellyroll Morton, Stackhouse, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Eric Clapton, ZZ Top....... WTH is wrong with you? You can’t honestly say you don’t like at least half of those people/groups....
Hi Dave, Awls are a lot of fun to use, Rock On!
I like em for sure....They're like the Lee Loader of stitching.
Cool stuff Dave, I have always wanted to get one of those awls but wasn't sure how hard they were to use. Thank you for showing it in such detail, and with good explanation of each step That's sadly very rare on RUclips. Good luck with the knife project down the road -- I can attest from the quality and beauty of my Ulu that you make great knives. ATB
Thanks. I know how feel about the lack detail on youtube...especially for people who really want the fine points covered...So I try to shoot very "close up".
Excellent information. Thank you so much, Dave.
Thanks pnpbec!
Thank you. I’m gonna give it a try!
I bought a slightly different stitching tool and NOW might be able to use it.
Little Tip! I watch my boots and if any stitch breaks anywhere I dry the boot completely and apply a couple coats of super glue to that area of the seam. Seems to work for a while but I've never had one come loose again!
Thanks for the tip!
In a pinch I've used dental floss for thread....works pretty good!!
Great tip!
@@Bushradical from Manitoba grew up in the Yukon and very familiar with the highway north...love your channel and thx for keeping it real!!
Great boots Dave! Glad to see them brought back into service. I think about people like my grandfather who was born 110 years ago. He would probably repair and maintain his boots like that when he was a young man! We are responsible for our resources and waste. I LOVE salvage :>) My wife calls me Fred Sanford lol! -Mike
I love to put stuff back into service.
You would love the fairbanks Dump!
Bushradical Ive heard Brooke talk about it too. I would be there one a week at least lol!
You would not believe what we've found in that dump....its worth a documentary by itself.
Bushradical I hope you do one sometime. I would really enjoy watching that! The stuff you find and how you put it back into use. I bet you could even sell some of that stuff too.
Thanks man, helped me know what I was looking for and how to get started
Glad I could help
Thanks for the demonstration
Thanks.
Nice job. You took a neglected pair of well crafted boots and brought them back to life. You should get many years of use out of them. After the soles are gone you should attempt a resole or send them out to White's.
thanks
Thanks v m for this. Really useful (in the UK, during the coronavirus lockdown) as the stitching on my two-year old walking boots has rotted. Contributed to be me, apparently, as Dubbin rots stitching (which I didn't know). So it'll be wax preserver for me!
I'm glad you found the vid useful
Thank you....always wondered how those things worked. Might hafta get me one of those.
right on! Good luck with it
Good for you man, thanks for sharing. I’m not sure I’d have the patience to restore them myself.
It was a fun project.
I looooove my Whites!
Hope you get some good use out of them nice work!
Thanks C2!
in the blues the process is the same but there is nuance within it
Sorry, but I'm not a fan of the blues
ThNks
Puttin' new stitches in ol' boots...Sounds like a county song! :-)
LOL
This is by far the best explanation I've come across. Every serious outdoors person or "do-it-yourselfer" needs a sewing awl of some type , especially those going on an extended trip . Mine is a super-light and compact model with lousy and hard to understand directions . Thanks Dave for this badly needed , well explained , easy to understand and very well filmed instructional vid . As a side note , camera clarity is just unreal !! (would love to know what type U use) All the best .
hey NWR. I use a canon vixia hf g20 . I edit on iMovie. Thanks for the comment.
Will definitely be looking at these for my first movie cam . Thanks again Dave .
Your welcome NWR. Let me know if you have any questions about video gear or editing software...I'd be happy to help if I can answer your questions.
Great video. Educational!!!
Thanks, jude!
Love my Whites! Enjoy the AlCan.
Thanks!
Hi Bushradical...how's it going? I have 3 pairs of old loggers boots, Pierre Paris, John Leckie and Vibergs. The first two are really old, but not too badly beaten up, just very dried out with a few cracks. I washed them off in cold water scrubbing them with stiff bristle brush, paying close attention to the seams and welt I then left them out in the fresh air and sunlight for a day. I then used some leather restorer (basically liquified beeswax) very liberally, massaging it into the leather with my fingers (this really soaks into the leather). Again I leave the boots outside for a couple of days then they are dry to the touch and quite supple. Finally I get some beeswax, Pine Tar and Turpentine in equal parts and brush it into the leather (and seams and soles) with a toothbrush (my wife's, not mine). This is quite sticky and takes about a week to cure but makes the boots very water resistant (Pine Tar has long been used in Finland for leather weather-proofing). Lanolin is also a good medium to treat dry leather. I England Grangers wax is very popular as is Dubbin (but do not over apply to stitched areas). In Canada SnoSeal is popular. I have an awl that I stitch sheaths with, but as yet, have not tried to sew footwear. Thanks for this video, Whites are good boots.
Awesome. I write down that recipe.
Just watching this video and reading comments. Last month I used pine tar, tung oil, and turpentine on an old outdoor wooden shelf that had dried out....pine tar is great stuff.
Yes, sometimes I have to thin it 50/50 with Turpentine so it soaks into axe handles and spade handles.
Very useful...
Maybe a curved needle on the thread end and some long needle nose pliers would work to get the thread back through the loop?
good idea
Bushradical By the way I nice videos. I like to restore old boots also,problem is they are beginning to put a big price tag even on the old footwear.
I have these Ridgecut boots from tractor supply, supposedly waterproof. Before wearing them, I gave them a couple of layers of waterproofing silicone spray. Still, the stitches are starting to go. The leather is cracking at the second toe joint. I'm not sure how I'm going to use a stitches in small spaces.
Thanks
Welcome
.........been waiting for this one :)
I hope I covered what you wanted to see. Thanks
Great video
Thanks.
I just saw you in a FB Ad "hohopanda" for a leather stitcher.
LOL, no you didnt. Ive never done any ad
Way cool = thanks for posting
Thanks TIO
I remember when I was a young pup, just started working construction, all I could afford was a pair of Red Wing steel toe boots. And the first day on the job we a huge concrete slab. I was the tamper. Needless to say my boots we ruined. But I had to wear them anyway, for quite some time at that. Money, tools, let alone living expenses were hard to juggle. A pair of Whites was a welcomed step up, but didn't come until years later.
hi dave, somewhere in my looking through you tube videos, i saw a guy that bought a mechanical hand operated stitching machine, the heading reads: Fisters hand machine cobbler shoe repair machine dual cotton nylon line sewing machine, it's $189.99 w/free shipping from amazon...check it out, even if you didn't want to purchase one, they are old fashioned and cool to see.
Is that the Chinese "patch" sewing machine? Those are really cool.
Thanks for the lesson. Interesting patches on your pants, is that wool?
Reusing boots by restitching, nice job. Like your way of repurposing things that someone one finds no value in. Saves money,....great video... look forward to more...how did you repurpose the pants, it looks pretty cool.....how about some tips in another video on that......
The pants are $15 faded glory "utility pants" from Walmart. The patches are grey wool, sewn over large holes, LOL.
So that's how you yous that stitching device.
Yup!
Cant remember if I told you or maybe you know. Whites will do a complete rebuild on boots and I think its half the price of a new pair? Great video! I have never used a stitching awl lol. I have like 3 of them.
I think I'll be having one of those big boot companies build me a set. I'd like to know what a set of boots built for my particular feet feel like.
Bushradical I'm sure you will be very happy! I'm going to be buying my second pair of whites so I'm not without while my original pair are being resold
Oh baby I hear those blues are calling tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
LOL.
Lol i saw ur hand in the boot and it made me nervous. I literally just stabbed my thumb to the muscle with my awl....
ouch!
Hey thank you for posting, where you put that not, could you put a little hook needle on the end? so you could feel it inside the boot. Thanks again.
Good idea
Bushradical, thanks for your reply Bushrad.
I got a pair of redwing 620, and they are getting wore out, but i love them
good luck replacing them
Bushradical, hey Brushrad, the 620 are made in china, anyway i used a speedy sewer and fixed the soul back to the goodyear welt.
I have been thinking of making a leather sheath for a surprisingly good quality flea market knife I recently bought that came with a nylon sheath that is already falling apart, so I have been wondering how one of those stitching awls works (never having used one before). Now I know and it seems to be easy enough that even I can do it, thanks. Cool video and, once again, quite timely information for me. Now I just have to find some good quality leather... and figure out how to cut and fit that for the knife... I don't suppose you're thinking of making a "this is step by step how to make a leather sheath for a knife with a crappy sheath" video anytime soon? ;o)
Actually Bob, I'm planning to go into knife making this fall. Not as a hobby, but as a small production business. Ive always liked sorcing parts and manufacturing, and I know what I would want in a knife. I need to tool up this summer but by fall I want to be ready to build a small knife company. If, and when that happens I will document ever single step of the process.
That's pretty awesome. Looking forward to watching that grow.
You are using a needle with an eye on it, I've seen others using a needle with a hook, are those fundamentally the same or you're using different sewing method?
Got further along the vid and noticed that cool half a dollar knife.
Spot on !
There's part 1?
I have those boots
Right on.
I bet I could put a high gloss shine on those boots dye them first.
right on!
What's the name of the tool holding your needle and thread?
How come there are some patches of white on the boots after painting them with mink oil? Are some of these spots inevitable depending on the leather damage?
Paint?
@@Bushradical Hi! Yes, I used the term "paint" because in part 1 of your video you used a brush to apply the mink oil. There wasn't a before and after portion in that video for how the oil set, but in this video I can see that there are small white patches on your leather.
I think they were there before
@@BushradicalAh okay, thanks for replying!
Are they holding up it taught me to care for my boots
They are doing well. Thanks
What if the boots are lined, e.g. with Goretex?
I dont know
@@Bushradical Looks like I am going to have to punch through the lining too and take the hit. The goretex in this case is old anyway. so NBD.
They look a bit too far gone to me, but obviously they've still got some use left in them.
They are pretty rough, but they are in better shape then they look on film.
Bushradical
I figured.
Good on you for seeing potential in something most wouldn't think twice about throwing them away.
But without the Blues we would not have ROCK N ROLL.
Where is your inside the boot camera? J/k
I could have maybe used a go-pro.
Bushradical with a tiny LED light.....
So uhh... Is that where this project ended?
I bought one of thoz stitched awls n gave it away b4 using it... What brand is that one u used?
I don't know that it has a brand.....They are all pretty similar.
Dude it's time to just get some new boots
LOL
l love to get one where you get one l'm from Scotland
Bay would be the best place to check.
Thank you
Hi Dave when I used to do my leather work to sell or any repairs needed for myself or others I used to use Ko-Cho-Line Leather DressingI had a pair of work boots that with dressing and constant use lasted me well over 10 years I tried to re dress them at the change of every season they got to a point you could ALMOST use them as Gum boots in winter
I have an expensive pair of Boots that so far have lasted 22 years and are still in excellent condition
I did a Amazon seach and found the dressing if you are interested
www.amazon.com/Ko-Cho-Line-Leather-Dressing-Carr-Martin/dp/B002HJ4HU6Ko-Cho-Line Leather Dressing by Carr & Day & Martin
you dont need much per boot and what I do is give it a good coverage let it sit on the boots for 24 hours and rub off any that hasn't been absorbed it does a wonderful job of reconditioning your boots
By the look of those boots of yours YOU really need to give them a good coat
some times you may have to give then a second coat depending on how "Thirsty they are"
keep in mind the initial cost of the tin of Ko-Cho-line is approx 19$ AUD But it does a lot of boots and leather goods over the years so it does work out as a cheap preventative
Tony from Western Australia
( BTW stitching awls aren't my favorite tool Grin !)
Thanks Tony. I'll check into the dressing.
glad to be of help
Nice video and thanks for teaching us "How To" do this.
But, I rather see a Nicer Set of Leg's as the Model.........Like an Beautiful Girl model for instance. he-he🤣
LOL.
what is that tool called??
edit; ... I'm an idiot.. it's in the title. lol
LOL. Its a pretty useful tool for sure. The thread you can use with it can be real thick and stout.
I know its a video but one could practice and take more time to achieve professional standards
Dude just go spend ten bucks at value village and get you some shoes.
LOL, I "have" shoes...I just wanted to fix these
Don't like the blues. OMG 😆😆😆😆
Not really. Not my favorite music.
