Hi Jo, love your videos. Am total newbie to leather work so may I ask a (newbie) question. The "creaser" that you heat on hob? How do you make it? Does it always have to be heated to use it?
Ouch!..it must have hurt when the edging tool slipped and hit your pinky? I love your work! I`m going to start making some leather products, because i`m currently unemployed and it`s hard to find a job in South Africa! But first i must get some tools to work with, i`m thinking of making my own tools i don`t have the cash to buy the tools.
Very nice product and great instructions. Could you share where you got those dividers that you used to mark your stich lines, please? It looks to be very heavy duty.
Hi Tom, I got them a long time ago from a tiny shop in Enfield. I think they may be engineering dividers so that would be a good place to start your search. Sorry I can't be more helpful, Jo
Hello, the one with the removable blade is a clicker knife which you can get from most places I think, I got mine from Abbey England. The other one is my main knife, its a single head knife I had custom made but you can get some really good ones from George Barnsley and sons, I have 4 of them for use on my courses. I think Abbey sells them or you can go direct. They need a lot of work to start with but once sharp they are really nice knives 👍
It's a Head Knife; a similar knife with two points is called a Round Knife; they are traditional leather workers knives You can get them from CS Osborne and George Barnsley and Sons - Search Google for these suppliers or the knives themselves A lot of time & effort, and therefore cost in making these knives is in getting them very sharp, so traditionally, to keep the price down, they come with only a basic cutting edge, and you must do the final sharpening and polishing yourself However, once you've done that it only needs a minor sharpening or stropping to keep them in good condition Search RUclips for 'sharpening a round knife' and 'sharpening a head knife'. There are several videos, including one by JH Leather
Mesmerizing! I love your work!
Thank you 🙂
Like the stitch groover idea to aid bending.
It's a great tool for jobs like that, I use the same technique on my cartridge bags.
Great video!!! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Nice piece of leather art Jo. I live the blue/yellow combination 👍👍
Thanks Josh, I love this hide which is why the majority of my videos have been with this colour lately 😂

Hi Elliott, for the best results creaser's need to be heated to give a more permanent finish.

It didn't hurt too much, the sharp bit is really small so all good 👍

Thanks for your reply. I'll Google engineering dividers and see what I come up with.
Is the grooving you redid at the end for decoration or is it functional?
The crease line/re creasing at the end is purely for decorative purposes 👍
Hi Jo. What kind of leather knife is that and where can I get one from?

That straight edge (ruler) with the curved middle, where did you get this from? I love it! Cheers!
It's a Maun safety ruler, I got mine from Abbey England but I think they are pretty easy to get hold of elsewhere if you do a quick search.
@@JHLeather Thanks so much!
What hardware did you use for the closure? thanks ;)
It's a press stud 🙂
Классный канал!!! Привет из Украины! :))))

Who uses inches for God sake!
I trained as a saddler which is traditionally in inches as its an age old craft hence everything I do is in inches.
@@JHLeather oh that is adecvate reason.
that beeswax confused me for a moment, it looks just like a walnut
🤣 It is a bit of a funky shape at the moment
