My climbing instructor said: When starting out you won't appreciate Fancy gear. When you properly and fully appreciate it, you shouldn't need it anymore. Later he added: It's that middle ground, where you kinda see the difference it can make when you should start testing it to see what works for you. That's why we start you off with the shittiest gear we have, so you appreciate the topline gear we make available to you in the last quarter. So you know what to invest in.
When I started working with leather I only had: string, needles, scissors, a ruler and an awl. Imagine using the ruler and the awl to punch holes with 5 mm distance between them. It took ages but it helped me appriciate this art.
That's what I started with! I used an awl to punch holes individually for almost 3 years before I learned about stitching chisels - lots and lots of work, but you learn priceless skill!
Four... I made it the Same way... And was Crazy Enough to build a Messenger-Bag that way... If this Video was there about 10 Years ago, I would have Stolen a Frok instead of nearly getting crazy ;-)
This was exactly the kind of content I was looking for because I just want to make a small leather keychain for a first time project and see if I like the process before investing in specialized tools. Thank you for taking it on!
That's funny because in french we say "you can spot a good worker just with their tools" and that's kinda the opposite. To be fair it's an old sentence that means that good workers care for their tools. (the guy that comes with a rusty, crooked ruler will never draw a straight line)
Nyli the Frenchy Wow that’s really interesting, I just use that phrase as an artist in traditional and digital media (drawing and stuff) that your markers or pens or how much your technology costs isn’t what makes you a great artist, it’s your skill. How much effort and time you put into it is how much you’re going to get out of it.
@@Nyli. Its not as contradictory as you may think. The difference lies in being a worker and being a skilled person. A person's skill is not limited by his tools but in order to display those skills consistently, he requires his tool in good condition. A racecar driver can easily show his skill on an ordinary car but not if the car he drives have flat tires and broken brake, regardless if its a Ferrari or Toyota.
@@Nyli. there is a difference between disrespect of one's tools and a well used set of tools. Tools without knowledge or skill, well they look in great condition as if they are being respected by the owner... Not always the case, sometimes their new and purchased to boost ones ego or social standing. ***Even salt looks like sugar ****
I love these types of videos that show expensive tools are NOT a necessity to create something marvelous. Videos like this show that you can start off with household items and still do well. Thank you for doing what you do, and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
I was actually wondering about whether or not you could make a wallet without having professional tools! this was very helpful. indeed the one who owns skills will show it no matter how little materials there are available to them.
This is fantastic!! I've had many comments on my videos over the years by people claiming "I could make that too if I had a shop full of tools". You just showed that if you truly want to make something, you can do it with what you have on hand. Well done sir.

I've watched about 5 of your videos, and this is by far my favorite!! I've just started learning how to work with leather, and I'm living out of the US and don't have access to tools. I love the fork! I did the nail punch on my first wallet. And I never thought of not using glue! I've been using some white craft glue that I had access to that works ok. I live near Pastores Guatemala, which has a great supply of leather! But I've learned it's mostly chrome tanned. I'm having fun learning something new - thanks for the video!
Thanks so much for sharing! I’ve been watching so many leather craft videos, wanting to give it ago and this makes it less scary! Would love to see more of this type of process in the future, should you be keen on doing more. Cheers.
So you're telling i only need a bit of leather to make a wallet? I think I will buy that as soon as possible, these kind of wallets are beautiful, I'm in love with them
I good source of material is buying a woman's purse or something similar at a thrift shop for a dollar or two. If you like walking, you can find something that will serve that someone has discarded.
I'm looking for info on repairing rotten stitching on a convertible car top & your video came up. Initially I wasn't paying attention but when I looked up, I couldn't stop watching! Even though I genuinely appreciate your fine craftsmanship skills, I have no interest in making a leather wallet. What captured my full attention was the absolutely fabulous quality of photography! This was no slap dash, lets just zip out a quick video... not a chance. Soon as I saw the screen, I knew a professional cinematographer was filming, recording & editing this footage! Crisp clear shots in difficult set up angles, engaging lighting with perfect contrast, pure color saturation all focused on the subject, no cheezy music but real action sounds recorded, edit transitions are smooth & emotionally charged to portray a captivating experience. Sum it all up, you've got a perfect mini documentary genre style film. Both craftsmanship & photography, very impressive work by all. I truly enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! Wishing all abundant Blessings!
Thanks so much. I used this video and made a knitting belt. Google it. I made the one shaped like a deflated football. I’ve never done anything with leather, so it was a huge challenge, especially with no leather tools. It worked beautifully, but I smashed my thumb using a nail that was too small. Your video allowed me to make something I couldn’t afford to buy. Be proud of yourself. You helped a little old lady with her knitting projects.
Just looks like a running stitch to me. Unless you want specifically just a video of him stitching leather, there are tons of tutorials on the running stitch.
I'm just trying to start making my own bag straps and this video gave me so much hope on being less expensive than i thought! Also, it could take less time if the fork were sacrificed to be hit or it could be made a tool with 4 or 5 nails.
Really nice work, and positive proof that fancy tools aren't always needed to get a nice final product. Heck, your final product with a fork and a nail for tools looks better than mine, and I've got plenty of hand tools. LOL! Fun to watch. You've got skills!
Whoever told this gentleman you cant make a wallet without your fancy tools is ridiculous remember the craft isnt in the tools it's in the hands, heart,mind and soul thumbs up to you brother keep the grind going.....
I enjoyed this very much and I am going to try making pieces of miniature luggage 1/12th scale using your tutorial. I will probably be using several but with yours I understand a bit better. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I can see by some of the comments here there's a lot of children who came to the wrong video. At least I know I don't have a lot of competition . Just goes to show you classless clowns come in all ages. Thanks again for sharing. I'm just being to dabble in leather because I want to try my hand at making some holsters for myself and am building up the confidence to get started. This video is a big step in taking some of the mystery and fear out of it for me. Thanks 👍🤠
I also use a fork and have since I started. I use the fork to put an edge line on my leather where I want to show. Then I Use it as a stich spacer. It works better than anything the leather store sells. Don't ever be afraid to make a tool. When you do and it works it give a very good feeling.
I stumbled onto this channel and felt inspired to make my own wallet since mine is worn out. I watched a few videos and told myself I can do this. I then checked the prices of teather working wools and..... but after seeing this video I am committing myself to going and buying some scrap leather this weekend and giving it a try
Last comment. That is an awesome little wallet. I like it better than the one I paid $60 for a couple years ago. It served me well but is about shot. Thanks again.
Same here, because I actually do just that, I have an old fork I use as pricking iron. It's similar to the one in the video, I simply hammered it flat, trimmed the prongs to about a centimetre long (that way they're less prone to bending), twisted them to a 45° angle (this gives the stitches a nice subtle zig zag look) and sharpened the tips a bit with a file. I haven't tried it on thick/heavy leather, but on thin and medium stuff it works great.
As a piano teacher, I say "A good pianist can create a lovely piece of music with the best equipment and tech but a master pianist can make something out of 3 notes" I feel very excited by this video as want to make a phone sleeve during half term week! Bring it on!
Bravo! A practical approach that circumvents tons of needless equipment (for the hobbyist), advertising mouths and money grabbers. Than you for sharing.

Brilliant! Could you please say what would be the most basic tools to start this hobby with. I'm 67 with a limited budget, but it's so satisfying to make something functional.
Nicely done! I enjoyed the simplicity of your demonstration...in a natural setting without music (which can be a real distraction. Thanks for showing what can be accomplished with minimal tools - themselves used with dignity and appreciation ...
In this context, how would 'professional' tools be any different? The leatherwork was skillfully done, but the suggestion that 'no tools' were required was pretentious nonsense. "Bah humbug".
made my first leather tobacco pouch by looking at your video , using a fork , and small precision screwdriver to punch the holes , look nice for first try , thanks ,,
That would actually be cool, he could have someone who has never done leather work come to his shop and see how much they can figure out just by handling his tools and inspecting his prodhcts.
Thank you so much for sharing this video I've seen your other videos and those are a lot of expensive tools I don't have but this way I can make a wallet and see if that's something I would like to invest in the tools.. again thank you so much for sharing your videos👍😃
Nice inspiring video. Start where you are with what you have. There is some guy specting you to pick some wild cotton to make the thread, chase a boar... I think it is more satisfying watching a master making something great with those old tools considered the minimum. That old knife that became a partner, the cheap pricking iron that was actually great. Maybe you have a rotary tool with an ebony burnishing tip, but find yourself going back to the old wood slicker, that kind of stuff.
Also add in that if you want to water proof and slightly soften the leather, use some type of oil (boiled linseed is best IMO) and soak it in the oil. For some coloration you could soak some steel wool in vinegar (makes black) for a couple of days then rub it into your leather, then soak in oil
That's a BRILLIANT idea! I wanted to repair rotten stitching on a convertible car top but couldn't decide on type of thread. Bingo, you gave me the perfect solution! Thank you very much! Wishing you abundant Blessings!
I've got a wallet. But I needed a pouch for my smart phone that would be easy for me to carry and easy to access the phone. So I used your methods on that project. I liked the fork!
Very nice. Good idea to use a fork - I never thought of that. Every now & then I sew equipment bags for my karate club. I re-enforce the ends of the bags with leather otherwise some of the equipment poke through the bottom of the bags. Only recently did I invest in an awl as I was hand sewing the leather with fishing line using a stout needle - it was quite a job. Thanks for the useful video.

Yep, I reckon that’s a good one.
I did.
I think you should be the one making that video :)
That would actually be cool, he could have someone who has never done leather work come to his shop and see how much they can figure out just by handling his tools and inspecting his prodhcts.
Yeah👍
Thank you so much for sharing this video I've seen your other videos and those are a lot of expensive tools I don't have but this way I can make a wallet and see if that's something I would like to invest in the tools.. again thank you so much for sharing your videos👍😃
"It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools for a bad result." Conversely, a good craftsman hand make great things with very little.
Nice inspiring video. Start where you are with what you have.
There is some guy specting you to pick some wild cotton to make the thread, chase a boar...
I think it is more satisfying watching a master making something great with those old tools considered the minimum. That old knife that became a partner, the cheap pricking iron that was actually great. Maybe you have a rotary tool with an ebony burnishing tip, but find yourself going back to the old wood slicker, that kind of stuff.
fancy tool: without me its not..
fork : hold my handle
Ok, that's good, right there! 😂
I have done so much with so little for so long, I am now qualified to do absolutely anything with nothing at all.
Well done
That was actually super cool
Still one of my favorite vids. Just goes to show that skill can overcome lack of proper tools.
Depois de ver o vídeo inteiro, descobri que eu tenho apenas o garfo e o papel! 😂 Obrigada por compartilhar seu trabalho incrível!❤️
Also add in that if you want to water proof and slightly soften the leather, use some type of oil (boiled linseed is best IMO) and soak it in the oil. For some coloration you could soak some steel wool in vinegar (makes black) for a couple of days then rub it into your leather, then soak in oil
I started repairing bridles with two harness needles and a roll of dental floss. That stuff was in service for years.
That's a BRILLIANT idea! I wanted to repair rotten stitching on a convertible car top but couldn't decide on type of thread. Bingo, you gave me the perfect solution! Thank you very much! Wishing you abundant Blessings!
I've got a wallet. But I needed a pouch for my smart phone that would be easy for me to carry and easy to access the phone.
So I used your methods on that project.
I liked the fork!
благодаря твоим видео, я 6 месяцев назад начал свой "кожаный путь"))))). Спасибо.
Молодец MrCrazypupil,нашёл жилку для бизнеса . Браво мастеру видео.Проще некуда, люблю не заморочиваться.
Very nice. Good idea to use a fork - I never thought of that. Every now & then I sew equipment bags for my karate club. I re-enforce the ends of the bags with leather otherwise some of the equipment poke through the bottom of the bags. Only recently did I invest in an awl as I was hand sewing the leather with fishing line using a stout needle - it was quite a job. Thanks for the useful video.
