Absolutely been loving your videos man, great work! Idea I just had would be making a leather sleeve/ half box design for your tool holder you made at the end of this video. Doesn't seem hard at all and would make it more comfortable to hold and look cooler! Just needs a hold cut out on the side for the magnet spot and the long opening on the top and it would make that tool holder even better. Keep it up!
@wrongscience7004 I've purchased leather from bot of them, nothing wrong with that. They are a bit pricy, so I try to watch for sales or use that Michaels coupon.
My apologies. If you are talking about the magnet on the top of the metal plate, you can use it to pull your upper plate with the arbor press ram. But given the amount of force you use it can break and small bits of magnet are NEVER a good idea. Just google "Magnetics Lawsuit".
@samamthaorchard6174 you are limited on purchasing leather near you, you can always buy it online from Springfield, Tandy, weaver, or any of the tanneries.
@@jdf3953 I have bought from both Weaver Leather Supply and Tandy Leather before, but my next purchase may be from Springfield Leather. Keep an eye out for sales on the thickness of the leather you are buying. The thickness should match the products you would like to make. You don't have to buy a whole side of leather if you aren't making a lot of things yet. Smaller pieces are available. If you have any questions, all of these companies have great reputations; you should be able to call in and have them walk you through the selection process.

@jdf3953 Thank you for kind words and the great idea!
I get my leather from Michaels and hobby lobby for now until I get good at it

What was the magnet for? Just curious.
@hmk946 It's to hold my rivet setting anvil.

I am only going to be able to buy leather from Joann’s, sorry to say.

@@bigstacksshop Do you have a preference for where starting leather crafters can get affordable leather online?
