- In this film I show the essential leather tools to get started in leather craft. I am keeping this very straightforward so that you do not need to purchase many tools to get into the hobby. I describe what each tool is for, and I make suggestions as to where you might buy them from.
My website is www.bucklehurst...
I have been researching Leather Tooling out of curiosity and this is by far the most enjoyable education I have seen. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing! I hope you enjoy making the videos as much as I enjoy watching them!
just recently inherited a lot of leather crafting tools. been watching your videos as a guide to start, always educational. thank you so much!
Hi Ryan - its really good to see old tools being used....I hope mine are when I depart.....I think one of my sons already has his eye on some!!
Hello Harry, ace video. I purchased a cheap £30 starter set off ebay and it all works fine,quite impressed with what I got for the cash, all the cutters work and punchers punch too. Made myself a stitching pony so I will practice making some leather covers for my tools. I am also doing the leather course at BB17. It is bound to get messy!
Heather Smith That's great and Paul Bradley is very good on the course front.
Thanks Harry, I think you videos are great. Concerning the needles I am told that in the states, were I am, a 002 size is the same as a 2/0 in the U.K., and a size 2 in the states is very much larger. Thanks again, Please keep your videos coming.
Fantastic video, very informative and helpful. Thank you Harry.
"easy to please" ;) Very grounded, but also very inspiring beginners advice on tools... not to forget honest... thank you for that... I got most of it together I think... now I only need to choose a project and give it a go while shamelessly using the tricks in all of your videos. ;) Thank you so much for all your efforts!
Well done Harry............thank you.
Buddy Hutchins Thanks Buddy
Thank You
Very nice Harry, thanks for another video.
Perfect timing for this video Harry! I am currently looking for some basic tools and have wondered where to start. I have watched you other videos on leather work and they have inspired me to give it a go. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the subject.
Just to say, I have followed your videos, and totally agree with your ethos on purchasing, I have only bought one "expensive" tool, a Jpanese awl, but other than that I have spent time on buying and tuning the tools, its part of the learning process, an essential part imho.
Of course as soon as I made the stitching pony, ie progressing from absolute basics, I realised I had to get in to woodworking. lol
I soon realised harpening was a problem for me, but I am gtting there,
I have three stones , incluing one Diamond one, and have removed the oven door to make a flat plate for the wet and finishing and polishing.
Of course the money I saved on tools etc, is available to spend on a brand new oven :)
Hi Jo re: sharpening, I found The Perfect Edge a very useful book...you might be able to get it from your local library on inter library loan?.
Thanks...appreciated.
Thank you for posting this very interesting video. I think that you should have mentioned a "stitching clam" or a "stitching pony". I hand stitched exactly one project, then went out to the shed and made my first stitching pony! It has made hand stitching so much more enjoyable!
Good point....and there are great plans in my Etsy shop!!!
Ah! That is right!
Hi Harry, I always look forward to your videos and another good one!
Although, I think you should have warned people that leather working is addictive and the number of tools "you need" keeps growing :-)
Harry, once again an interesting and very informative video, really useful for getting a non leather worker like me started in the hobby. I've always had an urge to try some leather work but not knowing what tools to buy or where to get them was one stumbling block, the next stumbling block as with many hobbies whether it's woodwork, metalwork or leather work is where to buy the materials and what materials to buy. I've watched your video on veg tanned leather and I like the idea of that material, but where does one get it in small quantities and what weight would I choose for making a belt? I've thought of making a belt as I'm guessing it's one of the simpler projects and it would be useful and very nice to wear something I'd made myself. Again your belt making video was excellent and made the process look easier than I'm sure it is, however I quite fancy giving it a go!
Harry, where's the best place to buy leather hide from? They're either phenomenally expensive ( just starting out, so will most likely end up as practice scraps) or, the size of a postage stamp. Great videos brother, keep em coming. thank you.
탐나는 도구들이네요😀
Harry, Thank you very much for that video. It was just what I was looking for. I will add this to my favorites so I can reference back to it as I start this journey in working leather. Again thanks for the video. I greatly appreciate it.
Pleased to help - thanks.
Harry, I like the leather skiving knife with the replaceable blades. Some look like large razor blades for shaving ones whiskers in a push or pull fashion. I would suppose the latter is safer.
I don't want to purchase anything more that that inexpensive particular tool for a few projects. Here in the states, I have been looking around and can't find that one. I am sure others of different design work well, but if you have used this tool and show it in action, can you provide a link to see it being used properly. I can't find what you call "Your Banner Page" Perhaps a term commonly used, but not for a older guy like me. Thanks. I enjoy your easy going tone and a bit of humor for theatric ascetics which is welcome compared to playing loud head-banging music.

That was great, and very useful to me.
Absolutely awesome video, explaining the basic tools that we can use with leather! I have purchased several of these tools after watching you using them in your videos, so it is an excellent idea that you uploaded this video to help us (specially non English speakers) to know the English name for the tools. Thanks again and keep up the good work!:-)
Thanks.
Thank You Harry. great video as always. 👍
Hi Harry, great videos. Can you please do a video with your skiving machine I've noticed at the back of your shop.
Just Thanks man, ur video are much usefull!
Good suggestions
I make holsters and belts mag holders that kind of things. I've found amazon to be a very good place to get tools. I use a number 3 stitching chisel for small projects and a 6 on holsters. I own a 4 but the holes are way to close together. It maybe the brand also.
A concise and informative video Harry, many thanks for sharing ~Peace~
Thanks Zed....Kent is going to have a coppicing devices session in March.
A great video Harry I really enjoy your videos and find them very helpful I started making my own leather sheaths for the knives I make and find it very fulfilling to have done everything myself I have some of the cheap hole punches and re ground them on my belt grinder and work just as well as my more expensive punches now

sparkysteve A good tip...thanks.
Well informed, good content.
Good video!! By the way, everything would be much easier if anybody in Europe would speak the same language. Beside the language, it could also be a german video. We have the same telephone, same tools, same clothes, same houses, same look of the gardens, ... everything looks the same. Even the way you are explaining the tools is absolutely equal. It really makes me sad that there is not more interaction between England and Germany.

Greetings Harry and Happy New Year! Love the vid, thanks for analysis. I see in the background a lot of product. My question about them is about production. How does one manage if they want to produce a lot item for a fair for instance to save time? Especially sewing aspects. Is there a way to sew fast by hand? Like sew multiple stitches at one time then pull the thread? Any helpful hints you can give for production runs would be great. Maybe a vid? Thanks Harry
GODSWORDTANDP Hi I use sewing machines a lot...as well as templates and clicker cutters for speed.
Thank-you, very useful information.
ps. are you selling leather tool rolls? if so where? thanks in advance
I will be putting some in my Etsy shop soon...link in the 'About' above - thanks.
I did start some leather working, with my first project being a leather USB stick (I filmed did and uploaded the process). Well, I do have the needles and that stitching wheel thing... and made an awl myself... the rest, didn't have the money yet to afford them...
you can buy good leather handbags in charity shop for re manufacture, I have two, dare not cut them up, they are too nice lol
Jo Allan I don't need a hand bag, and I get my leather pieces from a leather shop for cheap since they are scraps. I would like to make a satchel for my laptop though, but haven't found one big enough (15" laptop) but if they do sell one cheap for repair I could think about your advice!
thank you for the video
Have to make a repair on my wifes purse. Need to sew in a new tab to hold d rings for the straps. Original tabs were sewn in at the factory by machine but, of course, I must repair it by hand. What would be the best thread material to use? Original thread was blue to match the purse color.
John - its difficult to say without seeing...I suspect the original thread was probably bonded nylon.....its obviously important you get the colour right and the thickness matches...if hand sewing you may be as well off with a linen type thread... but I think its as much a matter of seeing what you can find that matches in.
Morning Harry.
I have lots of small tools for my leatherworking, and they pretty much end up in a muddle, I am currently making a board which will sit in my airing cupboard when not in use, and in the kitchen when I am crafting.
using a french cleat for hanging.
Do you have any suggestions, my woodworking tools are going to be on an identical board [formerly two Ikea shelves which are about 250mm by 600mm. They are veneered, so no cutting in to the surface.
I was thinking a mix of magnetic strips, , little shelves with rails etc etc, do you haveany additional ideas?
I will have one board for woodworking and one for leatherworking, and maybe one for painting [I have a lot of Valejo paints]. I just cant remember where everything is!
Lol!!! not remembering where I put things is a problem for me. So much so that it adds much time to my project. :-)
i think I 've sorted it, I have three shelves [ex Ikea bookcase]. So I now have one board for my antique woodworking tools, one which is for modern tools, and one for my main leatherworking things, I have them on cup hooks or clips or or othe things, or channels to hold them firmly in place, the boards are going to move from airing cupbpoard [my shed, lol], to kitchen [workshop] or to the workbench, the workbench will sit under a worktop so occasionally everything can look neat, tidy, organised. I will use the french cleat system for flexibility.
I've ordered magnetic tool bars and small magnets.
I am wondering what brand and style edger are you using? I know you do a lot of belts so I figure the one you are using must be good. I have bought a couple, but none that will hold an edge for very long.
I have Dixons..not available now and Tandy....with the Tandy the professional version is better for rounding edges......there are two types angled and rounded cut tools.
Like:)
I want a 32" 1.5" belt in black leather with the red stitching but it isn't an option on your website.
Hi Michael - I can make one for you if you wish...if you want to email me through my website I can give you a price etc. Thanks Harry
how to get this tools.....?
You can see suggested tools in my Amazon shop...link on my banner page. Rgds Harry
will you ever maybe do a video on how to finish edges? I have been making belts but have been struggling to finish its edges.
👍💯✔
Sounds like the bee’s knees’!! 😀😀✝️🇺🇸✡️🇮🇱
