    Hi there,
    I'm brand new to leather, but I've been a woodworker for years. You are right about stropping. That's how I keep my hand carving chisels nice.
    When you make a strop, avoid using a 2x4 as your wood base. As temperature and humidity changes the wood will move and distort its shape a bit. Instead use a piece of 3/4" MDF, or a scrap of cabinet grade plywood. Those are dimensionally stable, so there will be no wood movement issues to change the shape of your sharpening surface.
    Happy crafting 😊

    Another quick tip for beginners, a soldering iron can also burn your threads and if you adapt your small stamps to thread into where the tip goes you can use itbrand with. You can also adapt a cheap drill press for handheld drills to hold the soldering iron to use as a hot stamp.

    I really appreciate your timely and useful hacks and tips! Although I work a full time job, my heart longs for creativity. Since I create several different genres, I forget the basic skills sometimes when starting a new project. I create custom journals, from dyeing and baking my paper to creating a 300-page book. So I’ve made all the book innards and I want to make a leather cover, 1st leather journal 😬. Can’t tell you how many hours I’ve wasted and leather I’ve ruined 😡. But I’m not giving up, I keep searching and researching and that’s how I found you. Thank you for stepping up and sharing your talent and your love for it with others. I’m listening …

    You convinced me to try leather crafting out. I only bought the leather and the tools you used for tracing and cutting out the leather pieces, just to see if I could do that part lol. I did it pretty dang well and now i'm motivated to go further. Just purchased the rest of the tools to finish the job, hope I can do it. Thanks for all of these videos!

    These are all great tips! I don't have any tips, but I would really enjoy seeing a video about what you do with your leather scraps. In sewing, it's easy to avoid fabric waste and fabric scraps can be used in so many different ways, so I'm curious to know how leather scraps can be repurposed or recycled.

    Thank you SEW MUCH for the spring hack for my Juki!. Had no idea you could do that to reduce the pressure, but will take mine out in the morning! It’s been driving me crazy! I already filed down the bottoms of my pressure feet with a Dremel which helped too.

  • @MrMicrogravity
    @MrMicrogravity 4 года назад

    I made a 'saddlebag' (about 16" x 8" 4") for use on an antique bicycle. This would get rough use over the years so I used slight bits of epoxy to lock the stitching in hidden areas. Several spots along long lengths of stitching and on stitching of straps and buckles. In case the stitching gets nicked or cut, the stitching won't all pull out.
    Thanks for the heat sealing of the waxed thread to lock the ends.
