    Helpful tip for small bits and screws, stick them to a piece of painter's tape until you're ready to use them.

    Tapering the belt was a new set of tricks for me. Definitely useful. My tip for you: Scotch tape. When you take those screws out of the tip, and are going to use them in just a few minutes, take a piece of Scotch tape and just pick the screws up with it, slide them away from your immediate work area, and tape them right to the cutting board. I use about a two inch piece and fold 1/4" of one end back on itself to make a tab so I don't have any trouble pulling the tape up from the board.

    Great job as always.
    For the small screws. Magnetic screw drivers. Or just put a magnet on the screw driver. Holds enough to get them started.

    I have a strip of magnet screwed to the edge of a shelf above my work space. I use it to hold tiny pieces of hardware, springs, needles, whatever I don’t want lost. Would be helpful for those little screws you used on that buckle tip.

    Chuck, always a pleasure and I love the elements! I had a suggestion for a leather element regarding conditioners for leather. Oils, waxes, combinations...when to use one vs the other, before dying, after dying? In lieu of other finishing? I see a lot of inconsistency in opinions out there and would love your take on this. Keep up the good work! I’ve learned a lot!

    I had no idea the punch had that adjustability. Thanks. When working with tiny screws, nails, etc I keep a magnet that I've salvaged from a large radio speaker and it will help keep and eye on small, magnetic objects. Keep in mind that this doesn't work on stainless.....some is magnetic/some is not. P.S. Some screws/snaps will take color from "cold blue" that I've used on rusty gun spots to restore color......not all hardware will take it but experiment and see what happens..... Keep the Faith, Tom

    Here's a tip for Chuck: Buy an inexpensive magnetized parts bowl. LOL Or, since Chuck will give us DIY tips, get a roll of magnet tape and stick a couple 6" strips side by side on the end of your work bench or on something nearby. Screws won't just roll off the bench. 👍

    Thanks for the tips. I have the same issue with this small screws. People say i have several screws loose so what i do is use a piece of masking tape or scotch tape, put the screws on the sticky side and the stick that to my bench where it won’t get lost.

  • @demos235

    Hi Chuck - re the compound rotary hole punch, I reckon folk would really appreciate the "optional extra" of replaceable tubes. Model A and Model B... For those of us with arthritis / RSI/small hands etc., the compound style is a game changer.

    Speaking of shop tips, here is another one: instead of worrying about a sneeze or memory misplacing critical hardware, keep handy a small bowl or, usually more reliable, a weighty magnet, to grab any iron-based item. Even brass- or chrome-looking items are likely to be plated steel rather than solid.

  • @richardkatzman2066
    @richardkatzman2066 Год назад

    Hey Chuck here are three tips for the tipster. Tip #1: Lay those tiny screws on a piece of masking tap to keep them from falling on the floor. Tip #2: if those tiny screws are metal place them in a magnetic bowl. Then they are sure to be there when you need them. Tip #3: Make those mechanical screws magnetic so you can pick the screws up without losing them. Best regards, Richard

  • @RedCoyote
    @RedCoyote 4 года назад +3

    There's a brand of rulers called Alumicutter that's actually very nice for cutting! I found one in a secondhand art shop and it's the most used ruler now. One side is thicker than the other side, almost a quarter inch, and that's meant to be the side to cut on. Also it's non-slip!
    Though, when it comes to cutting a straight edge into a new side, I use a 6ft level to limit drifting from when you move the ruler down the side.

    • @bagramdave883
      @bagramdave883 4 года назад

      Red Coyote what kind of knife do you usecover that thickness AND the real thick stuff--10/12 oz. does a box cutter do it? My box cutter handle would clunk against the straight edge and wobble all over. Help!!

    Thanks a lot Chuck! Weaver gained a lot when you decided to work with them. I appreciate everyone making videos at Weaver but you're like my cool friend giving me plenty of tips and encouragement :) I have got to ask tho: at 2:09 I can see what looks like a hand forged metal spike that you use to remove the hole punch piece. Care to share what it is and what do you use it for? I ask as it was blacksmithing that got me into leatherworking. Thanks for your help and contagious enthusiasm!

    @MrHondoMan 4 года назад

    Chuck, on the rotating hole punch... I lay a piece of leather 'under' the piece I'm punching through. I have found it first, makes punching through the upper piece easier and second, protects the polished ends of the tubes as I don't need to squeeze hard enough so that those wee tubes meet the metal base. I've never liked that the polished end squeezes down on that metal base. Too easy to ruin the tubes.

    I wholeheartedly agree about the thicker straight edge! I recently had a blade jump my thin metal ruler. I now have a chunk missing from the tip of my finger, but for awhile I thought I'd lose the whole tip. Ironically, it wasn't leather I was cutting, but paper. If it was leather I'd have been a lot slower and more careful..that stuff is expensive and precious lol.
