I like the direction of your commentary. Homesteading, and self reliance are important to me so tools and skills are an interesting videos. Thanks again Dave, your timing is nearly perfect.
Mr. Canterbury you have given me a good way for me to make some sheath's for my hachettes and thank you for showing all of us on you tube
Learning to use one of these teaches one the basis of "modern" sewing by machines. You are forming a loop and picking up a tag end (or separate thread) and pulling the cross over point back into the material. Pretty much exactly how a lock (straight) stitch machine works. Having grown up using one of these every fall and through out the winter keeping the leather uppers attached to my snow packs it was almost intuitive when I came across a treadle singer sewing machine made in 1901. Great video and good information.
Dave, you continue to ROCK! Thanks to you and yours for the work you continue to do to help instruct us in tribal/traditional skills!!! :)
That awl is really cool. Thanks for showing us how to use it. Really makes for a strong stitch doing it that way.
I can really see the utility of having an awl like that in the kit set. Very instructive. Something I had never before even considered! Thanks again Dave!!!
I've been using these things for years, great little pc of kit. Once had to do some on the fly minor sail repair on a four day coastal trip. They are fast and easy to use. Have a great one,..peace.
I'm addicted to your videos!
Thanks Dave. I own two different models and love them both. I use a waxed thread that is common in the telecommunications industry for trying down cables. I prefer the waxed since it help maintain waterproofing. Hope this helps someone.
Dave, have been a big fan of yours from the first time you graced the TV screen. I love your channel. I have watched probably every video and many multiple views. I love your store and wish you mush success. Christ's blessings on you and your family. From an LEO in Chicagoland. We stand ready.
Thanks for the demo Dave.. I looked this type of awl before and now I thinks me will get one.
Excellent discussion Dave!!! Thanks!
As a amateur woodsman, I appreciate the information you provide. Thank you Dave!
Hey dave just wanted to let you know I watched this video way back when you posted it and Saturday I went to the flee market and I stumbled upon of of these and I knew exactly what it was right away picked it up for 3 bucks thanks thus will come in handy soon when I start making my own sheaths for my knives
Take care brother
dave, every time I watch your videos on 5 tool rule an the camp tool box an stitching awl an old style hand drill/anger etc my mule groans, guess I'll to get another mule an split her load, I damn well can't carry it all.
That was an excellent demo of how to use an awl. I had forgotten how to use mine, so thank you for the refresher!
Great instructional video Dave. Thanks
I was scratching my head for ten minutes wondering were I know you from and then I looked up your name wow the Dual Survival show I loved that show. very cool to see you doing RUclips videos plus leather and axes I'm always using for something.
I have one as well. They are great tools for quick repairs on canvas but I aso prefer saddle stiching by hand when fabricating things in leather. Its a much stronger stitch and lasts longer in my opinion. Thanks for the vid Dave alot of people don't know how to use one and I think knowledge is more valuable than any one tool. You never know what you may come across and knowing what to do with it or how to use it can make a big difference in the quality of life especially in a survival scituation.
Excellent tutorials! Thank you Dave!!
Thank you so much for this video. I recently picked up a Stewart EZ stitcher and referred to this video as a teaching aid. Again thank you.
I have used this EZ stitcher some for outdoor gear. It has a learning curve. Seeing you use it in conjunction with a vise and wood blocks to hold your workpiece is a great idea. Bank line for thread is also a great idea. I have used heavy polyester thread and in a pinch, dental floss will work.
Thank You
Awesome video Dave. Really helpful for those who didn't know how to use a awl. Those augers you have are nice. I have a newer made hand drill and the just don't make them like they used too.
You definitely hit the jackpot with all those tools they will be worth their weight in gold if the power goes out.I used the same type of awls to make my lean too all great tools really appreciate the videos learn something new with every one
Thanks Dave another great informative video as always!
Very interesting sheath making tutorial. Thanks for posting.
Great video, I actually got one of these a few months ago. Certainly makes the job easier, that's for sure.
Thanks Dave.
Love the EZ awl speedy awl Dr. Hood turned me on to them years ago and have carried the needle instead of canvas sail needle for years. Just make a handle in the woods easy enough to use woithout the spool and good to go. great video as always brother
themoodybobby1 The biggest problem with them for a Survival Lit is they are very brittle and will not take much side movement for actual awl work on heavy stuff without a pre-punched hole-
Great video, Dave! I found a relatively complete leather repair kit at a garage sale a couple of years ago for $0.50 or thereabouts... It has an ez awl in it, but never knew how to use it. Thanks for posting this!
(on a side note. gotta love that fancy tree behind you with the GFI outlet. I wish I could find trees like that where I camp. ;) )
Thanks Dave. I have had one of these sitting in my gear closet for several years but the instructions that came with it are so bad I never could figure out how to use it. This video makes it look easy!
ty dave i love your vidieos and knowledge u pass i hope after this situation happening in my life youll still be around ill have some catching up 2 do once im out pls keep your videons comeing some days its all i can wake up for.
ty, Coat
if only we could be free like the wilderness and animals we love....
Elk Hunter, Thanks for the advice. I too prefer adding rivets. That is One of the reasons I like the Puma Knife sheaths so much.
Man finally I know how to use one of those iv got 3 of them from here&there but allways had to do my sowing with a big needle & pliers glad I saved them
Awsome Dave 👍
Great vid!!! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to making my first sheath! Thank you!
Attempt this with the SAIL NEEDLE in your 10 C's of survivability list and you will appreciate the ez awl tremendously better. I have been using mine for about a year now. You can even buy a fine needle that will basically do a thick sowing thread for normal cloth. Thanks for getting into this Dave. It is a very useful skill.
I prefer saddle stitching for the most part when I make things from leather. But the speedy stitcher has it's place. Great vid.
Good video, tools make life a lot easier. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for showing the use of that tool. The hand drill in that lot, I used the same one as a youngster, It was my grandfathers.
Nice work Dave.... I learned a lot.....
thx for showing us these kind of tools..very useful..thx...
I have both types of sewing awls, I much prefer the external spool because the one I have that has the internal on keeps binding up for some reason. Thanks for the great vid Dave!
Great video, never knew the tool existed. Just bought one now!
I love this! Thanks.
Another fine video , thank you!
nice video Dave, thks
Just finished a repair on my kids trampoline. 8 dollar tool did a 100 dollar job. Highly recommended pack tool.
nice find Dave
that stone was for sharpening scythes.
I have the tool, I like the axe protection you did with it.
Nice work!
Always learn something new from your videos keep up the good work
I could have used that awl a couple of weeks ago. I sewed up a sheath for my hand axe using two needles and pliers :-)
Quick made awl made of nail and piece of wood does wonders.
After watching your video, I bought an EZ stitch awl and sewed up a axe sheath. I really like the wood construction and will be using it frequently I am sure, since I am a knife collector and many times the knives I buy have bad stitching. The next thing is to buy a few more leather-working tools such as a multiple whole punch, bevel etc.
Go for it. I have made many sheaths over the last 35 years and have never had to replace a leather tool. Don't forget the overstitch wheel for making a punch pattern to follow. I prefer brass rivets along the blade edge so I don't cut my stitching. Plus, they look kind of cool. I am still kind of undecided about the EZ stitch awl. I have always punched and hand stitched allowing me to triple or even quadruple the thread runs. Nothing beats a good home made sheath. Have a great day.
Excellent!
Awesome angle at 9 mins in, putting that camera to its full potential
Outstanding
Hva also been using this for years.. its a great tool!
interesting tool (would love to own one) - but two needles plus a awl do the same work very quick - tks for showing
Man dave that is so cool i always wanted to kno how to do that. Thanks for the info. That was great!!!
Awesome!
Great demo David, always nice to see how things are supposed to be used. You might send Iris to learn barbering skills with those old hand powered clippers, you are getting a bit long in the tooth for the ponytail look. Thanks for the info as usual good stuff.
nice job!
Throw some spare needles, a few small hooks, split shot, sinew, small bank line in handle and youve got a nice compact fishing/sewing kit.
another epic video
Nice video.
Nice close ups Dave
I just ordered on of these based on this, thank you :)
Its a shame that you do not stock them on the Pathfinder store or I would have bought it from you.
love the fresh hole drilled in the old table ahahazha @2:07
Wonder if he might show us how he does more of his leather work. I would like to see how you like to do knife sheaths, and your thinking behind the design of a good sheath.
Wow that would be the same way you use the one on the swiss army knife always wonderd how they work thank you sir
Good stuff. My father was into preparedness before it was cool, and he had a Speedy Stitcher, but we lost the instructions. In the 70's I saw one in a hardware store and opened the box and memorized the instructions. I went home and sewed something that I still use today!
Thank goodness for the internet, so we don't have to do things that way anymore!
BTW, I have always worn my hair and clothes any damn way I wanted and said "F You" to anyone who complained about it. So, keep on doing things the way you want to brother!
Nice video, thank you. I may one of the few people who view this and admire the well maintained heavy duty shears and what appears to be a vintage steel vice. Most things like these on the market today are junk. Good tools, properly used and maintained are a joy. Don't believe me-buy anything with moving parts from Harbor Freight. You'll spend more time fixing the tool than fixing what needs repair.
awesome !!! thanks ;)
it really is crazy simple, you just need good instruction like this, awesome video, the close ups are great, what camera you use?
I feel you I'm a splitting maul fanatic
I never realized that's awl there is to it!
That stone looks awesome and easy to pack. Do you like it better than that puck stone?
Every time I watch your videos I'm like, "Damn, my kit is so lacking!".
Very interesting I was wondering how that worked
A sewing awl is great if you're working with leather.
I just learned how to stitch leather, everyday's a school day eh? :)
Good video. Still dislike stitch awls in general though. That's more to do with issues in a lock stitch though when hand sewing.
I've always wondered how those things worked.
is there some kind of needle or shuttle for the tag end, during the locking stitch, to run through the loop?
Great lesson thank you
I put a sail needle on the tag end of mine to run through to lock it down. You can also do a chain stitch, but if it gets worn, it has a tendency to unravel.
There are a bunch of needles you can use, i know that me, my dad and my stepdad all use leather needles from Tandy Leather. Might be some at Walmart but i wouldnt trust those.(no offence to any one)
normal needle is used for this purpose.
I believe he just proved that it doesnt matter...
You should have shown the finished piece
Dave, Could you add a link to your other channel on you tube?
Dave, thanks for this vid- I could never figure out how to use this damn thing. There were no instruction that came with it! One time I had it going, in that it would stitch things up as I stabbed it in & out, but I didn't feed it through every time like you did. No clue how it happened & couldn't get it working again.
You could finish it off with one of those double stopper knots, right? I mean going around twice & through itself twice. I saw what you do something else, what was that? Just going backward twice with the same locking stitch?
We would always knot the thread on the leather work we made(for customers), but normally going over and back is enough to hold it together.
It's one of those things you just have to try and watch what happens over time. If you notice the threads starting to come undone it would be easy enough to pull them tight and put a knot on them.
Dave Just a question.. Have you started doing something different when you upload the videos, For some reason my player will only play the ad and not the video. Is there any other place these are posted with out the ads?
I had one of these and I hated it. A saddle stitch by hand is far better in my opinion.
no Dave..... thank you!
Awwwww It's an awl!
Sorry could stop myself.
Do you have videos on tanning hides?
I would rather use some 6-8 Oz leather for this type of project but to each his own. 6-8 Oz Leather like cow hide i mean, and it wouldnt be verry flimsy.
I dont mean to intrude or anything i just want to put something out there.
also if any one sees a flaw in my comment please do point it out id like to know my mistakes so as to correct them for later.thanks.
xxRipjawsxx I agree but this is what I had laying about
I understand, i was just putting that out there.
toooooooooooooooooo kooooooooooooooooooooool !!
At first glance those look like the awl made by C.A. Myers. I have one and really prefer it over the others I've seen. I've used it to make repairs and modifications to my pack and it really came in handy. awlforall.com/
The word that keeps getting used is learn.
Wow that would be the same way you use the one on the swiss army knife always wonderd how they work thank you sir
