Hey Ryan, I've watched several of your uploads and am sincerely impressed with the quality of your videography. It's pretty obvious you bring a photographers eye to your work. You have a great talent and your leather projects are inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks, complete beginner here, I’ve gone through many stitching tutorials, but only yours helped me 🙏🏻 it’s wavy, because of an uneven punching, but it doesn’t matter 😂 first saddle stitch
This tutorial portion is so great! Thank you! I’ve watched so many videos that don’t show the beginning. This is perfection.
Wonderful teaching. I have two adult children interested in leather crafting. My dad did some years ago, beginner, but before you tube. He would have loved this.
I know this video is old but I will say as a newer person using better irons changes everything. I got a box set of tools from Amazon to start. After 5 months I bought new irons, not sinabrooks, but it totally leveled up my stuff.
Haha yea I love using newer tools too!
Learned a lot. I came over from Peter's video and am totally interested n leather work now. Thank you and look forward to more reviews and how to videos
Thanks for your great video. I would love to learn how you finish the handmade stitches. I saw you using some kind of solder (?) to burn out the stitches but I cannot figure out how it works. Thank you again for your generosity to show your magic :)
It's called Thread Zap ll. You can get it on Amazon.
Love your videos ! Congrats for your works from France (i will begin leather work, your videos give me so much motivation, many thanks)
Feels so good in the hands. Ladies, you know the procedures.
🤣🤣🤣 these are a major major go
I notice there are several options of spacing for the pins for sinabroks ranging from 3 - 5.4mm. What size spacing do you use in your videos?
@Mark Shaw He answered some time back down further in the comments..."They are the 4mm 10 and 2 tooth irons."
4mm from one of videos

Thanks for this review! Can you please do a studio tour video? I am about to dedicate a room for my own sewing/leather craft studio and would love to see how yours is organized for workflow
efficiency.
Hey thanks so much! That's a great idea. I'll work on a studio tour video. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thanks for the video. I always thought I was using a pricking iron from Tandy Leather. My mind was blown when I found out I was using a diamond chisel. 🤯 I know you have made a few videos about stitching, but could you show the difference between them? Do you ever use a circle punch for stitching?
Love your videos!!! Keep them coming.
Thanks for tutor. From Russia with respect.
Thanks 🙏 for this video . Thumbs up 👍🏽. I was waiting this review. I hope you do this with all equipment you use .
Never mind the awesome tool, Im going to order some just cause of the beautiful packaging.
how do you stitch corners with these, I have some French type and when I reached the corner I was lost as to how the continue the stitch.
Re technique. I note you loop the thread over the needle on the back side. Does this give a better looking stitch on that side? I have Al Stohlmans The Art of Hand Sewing Leather and he doesn't use that loop over but just mentions to always pass the needle through on the same side of the thread with each stitch. Be interested in your thoughts.
This is known as casting. It's an open debate!
i was deeply moved to see the difference. i too learned from uncle Al. I knew about casting, but never did it. there is a considerable difference in the way the stitches look. no functional difference, but the casting looks much better..i'm gonna have to switch...dammit 15 years and still learning...LOL
Your work is really beautiful
Thank you man good explaining
Thank you for this video!
Thanks for this. I noticed your pricking iron in another video and I was wondering what kind of tools you use. I could tell that it was a high quality tool.
Hello! Sinabrocks have another version of pricking Irons with thinner width. What do you think of them?
I’ve never tried them so I can’t really say, but I’m sure they are great 👍🏼
Man that looks beautiful. What kind of thread and size is that? Looks like the thread was made to go with these pricking irons.
Yea it goes super well! Its size #5 Vinymo. It's probably one of the nicest threads I've used.
Little King Goods I usually use 0.6 Ritza Tiger thread but it looks like I’ll be trying something new
Can you compare KS blade and sinabroks? Both are same iron design...
Gorgeous!!! Thank you! 👍
Great video. Thanks. Just out of interest are pricking irons designed to go through leather all the way? I see that pricking irons are tapered, thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom. This means that holes on the backside are smaller than holes on the front side. I am using diamond stitching chisels, which are the same thickness throughout their length. This means that the holes are the same size on both front and back. Which would you recommend?
I really like the Sinabroks. A very clean hole in the front and back. The diamond chisels are terrible. I used them when I first started and it just completely ruins the leather out the backside.
Do you have some thoughts on when to cut a stitching groove vs just marking a stitching line?
The main purpose of a groove is to protect the stitching if it's subject to abrasion and wear. That's why they groove shoe soles. But, I think it also looks good for the thread to seat into a small groove and to burnish the groove after stitching.
Something like a wallet benefits from grooving. In and out of the pocket constantly will fray the stitching. I grooved the back of a belt I made, to prevent wear up against denim.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 Thanks for the info. That's really helpful!
Hi Ryan, thanks for the cool video. Just did my first stiches tonight which are not looking as awesome as yours yet. Think there is a steep learning cuvre to take to get there. Are you waxing your thread or are you just using it as it comes from the roll? Best, Michael
the soldering iron is an impressive solution
It’s called a Thread Zapper! About $8 on Amazon and so worth it!!! I got one after seeing him use it.
I want to make draw blade, axe and knife sheaths in organic plant based leather. How thick should the leather be? Do I need rivets and why? I have no tools yet and am trying to learn what to buy. These pricking irons are the biggest problem. How many stitches per inch should I use? What other tools are a must have for only this type of project? Thanks!! Is there one great book that covers it all? PS I am in Germany so shipping can be a problem.
What spaceing iron you would pick, if you had to pick only one size? 4mm spacing?
If it were me, I'd go with smaller spacing. Tighter spacing is more work, but nicer looking.
I can't afford such tools as this, so I make my own. My first pricking tool was made from a stainless steel fork, that I shaped with a file and heat treated in my homemade gas forge. I never buy tools.
Maybe not this fancy tool, but I'll bet if you saved you could afford something nicer 🤷♂️
@@watchgeek6870 There is nothing better at pricking than my homemade tool. I place no value in "nicer"..
What size spacing did you choose for yours? Also what size thread are you using?
Great video! What thickness thread do you use?
Which stitching prongs u recommend for stitching thicker veg tanned leather (above 5oz). I used 4mm diamond chisel for two 2mm leathers & ruined my project & leather too😥😥😥
Hey thanks for the tutorial, quick question what are you using to hold that piece of leather while you stitch?
Siamak Sh I know this isn’t my channel but I thought I would answer your question. That is stitching pony and it is incredibly useful while hand stitching.
This is probably a really dumb question (newbie here), but when you said you put a piece of leather between your strap and the punch pad so it doesn't get ruined, what exactly do you mean? How would not having the extra leather ruin the back side?
If it's a leather that marks (like using a finger nail on some shoes will do) such as Horween Chromexcel, you'll want a smoother surface like leather b/c the punch board has indentations from the chisels that can mark the leather
Great video! What size thread do you use?
why a dark room?
I think I’m sold on getting the sinabroks, Ryan! I prefer the look of the round dent though. Do you still use 4 mm in that style?
Yea the 4mm would look 👌🏼
What size are you using. Im not sure what size to get
Also, when would you use a pricking iron vs a stitching punch? I see Sinabroks has both. Thanks!
It really depends on the look you are going for. Some people like the chunky look of the stitching punch others the more refined look of the pricking irons.
@@LittleKingGoods Thanks!
I’d suggest overlapping 2 holes when continuing instead of just one. It’s just more consistent if you want perfectly spaced holes. That thread is also too small for those massive holes.
I guess that there is a limit to how small a hole can be and still have a needle that can fit through without being so thin that it breaks/bends or catches the thread. And of course the iron itself breaks if the iron prongs are too thin. I am guessing that is actually the major factor. So the best looking stuff I have seen is when you just use the iron for indentation and then hand stab each hole with an awl but that is higher skill than me.
Jack Middleton one approach is to use a pricking iron which is designed to slightly penetrate the leather which you then use an awl to go straight through. The other approach is to use a stitching chisel which goes straight through. The more modern irons also act as chisel as in this example. The 4z irons are full stainless and have different sizes for the teeth which are also held in place by an Allen key instead of this tool which is glued into place. For the thickness of leather shown in this video I think he should have use the tool more as a pricking iron than a chisel. The holes look massive but that’s just my opinion.
What size iron did you use?
what leather did you use in this video?
looking at buying some sinabroks, what spacing do you usually use? i was looking at the 3.38
I personally use 4mm
@@LittleKingGoods thanks, i might meet in the middle and get the 3.85. i know i will be getting a 2 prong, but for my straight sections i was thinking a 9 or 10. is that wise or better to get a shorter like 5 or 6. i will be making similar sized items to yourself
Very nice video
Are you still liking the Sinabrok irons?
What spacing do you use?
4mm
Rip headphone users😂
The holes look awfully big. I think the prick blade measures 2.2mm. Big hole small thread. I think the KS is narrower. My experience with brass is that the smell transfers to the hands. You only showed the finished front for a moment and then focused on the back. Did you pay for those or were they supplied as payment?
I own both the KS and sinabroks tools. If you have ever used these types of irons that go through the entire piece of leather you will know that the hole on the entry side is always bigger. The KS holes are smaller because the blades are smaller. The blade length on the KS is also shorter. The sinabroks blades are bigger and longer. It really depends on your preference. I love the brass. I haven't noticed any smell. Just like my l'indispensable knife. It patinas very beautifully as well. They both produce a clean look but a different in a few ways. The stitch I find is a little more slanted with the sinabroks because of the wider blades.
I was sent this tool a while back to try it out and see whether I liked it or not. I was not paid to make this video in any way. Just my thoughts and honest opinion on this tool.
@@LittleKingGoods I think there good but not great. AB Mac
Thanks for the video, now I've a gift for you: Get a bounce!
Just for a hobby... This costs more than my job.
Love the channel but, Really mate? ...Unbais much? ...sounds like the pricking iron company have compromising info on you, or you’re seriously in to packaging? 😂😂
If your work is about the details, why wouldn't you appreciate the packaging? 😂😂
no drama man. It just felt like when a buddy is trying to set you up on a date and they kinda overcompensate as they know the date ain’t the best looking - it’s a great channel. It felt a little out of place is all. 😳😜
Man, this has to be the best stitching presentation out there. Good job
Great video, what kind and size of needles do you use? Thank you for sharing your craft.
4mm, he mentions in another video.
Hi Ryan, thank you for the video. I took up leather crafting after seeing you in Tuque. Iv'e always like making things by hand and thought I can do this. It's fun, relaxing, and I get a great sense of accomplishment. And it may also bring in some income. I've been struggling with my stitching but after seeing this video and making some adjustments to my hole punching my stitching is so much better! Thanks so much man. If you ever do a studio tour I'll be there. Thanks again.
Hey man great video! But I’m just wondering what size mm pricking iron this one is ?
Every person learns differently. I like how you explain things! Thanks! 4mm spacing is best with what size thread and needles?
1 important thing i noticed is when you pull the needles, if at the end the one in the left hand is pulled all the way first, the thread stays where it should be. I hope someone understood me and i helped ;d
Ryan, I did purchase several sets of Sinabroks Stitching irons. (Different stitch counts) Based on your review (and a couple of others) You are absolutely correct. These irons are the most beautiful and wonderful to use for making stitching holes. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Well, you did. Thank you. I gain a tremendous amount of information and confidence from your videos.
Thanks for the info, what size where you using in this video? New at leather work still learning about the spacing size in mm 😅
Great video man. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community... what size irons are they? I just purchased some KS round dents ( awesome tools also) but I’m looking for some quality slant irons.... thanks again!
Hey hey! They are the 4mm 10 and 2 tooth irons.
You get great quality from KS for slant irons too. Supposedly Sinabroks was started by a KS Blade Punch employee that took their secrets.
What size needle and thread are you using here?
Hi Ryan, what size mm do you recommend and what about the prongs? I was thinking of getting one 2 prongs and one 10 prongs to start. By the way, I have no experience with leathercraft but I recently fell in love with it and I'm working on my tools list. Anyway, I love your work!!! Thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge to all of us.
great work and it great how you put the video together i like the editing.
Thank you!!
I started leather working as a hobby, made a few wallets for family and friends, knife sheaths and longsword scabbards and low-quality Chinese pricking irons from ebay messed up a lot of my initial work.
Amazing! Thank you for a great video!! / Jonathan
I GET IT! Ryan looks your tying an overhand knot with each stitch, hiding it in the leather and maintaining constant tension throughout the stitching. And the care making sure each stitch slants up. Skill bro, skill...
Awesome! Would be good to get your input on finishing a stitch.. i did my first stitch with this video but in the end realized you go back 3 holes right?
you are a great master .good luck to you .hi from Azerbaijan
Hey Ryan, cool video man. Thanks for the skillshare. I was wondering if you could show how you tie it off tho. Keep up the great content.
I mean, it's less that brass doesn't have to be strong for that application and more that brass has the right kind of strength (tough and malleable vs rigid and brittle)
I hope you're as nice in real life as you seem in your videos! 🤣🤣 I really enjoy your work, both the crafting and the video work; both are exemplary.
Which mm did u get for the pricking iron??
Do you have the KS blade, is so what are the differences? heard this guy worked for KS blade and made his own company now.
So you're using these as stitching chisels.
Thank you for the help in the way you presented the way the stitching was done; and the awesome hole punch.
Package opening speed run contest.
What spacing did you choose?
Couldn’t agree more very clean work nice straight stitching line that’s why your work stands out above all the others on RUclips!!😁✌️
Thanks!
I’m so confused I thought pricking irons were only to do just that prick. Then you use an awl to push through ...@sinabroks what is the stitching punch for it seams to me it’s the same???
Daniel Irvine You are correct. The Sinabroks stitching iron produces a slanted diamond hole. The Sinabroks “stitching iron” - ‘flat’ produces a slit like the original French pricking irons (awl required). Each iron maker seems to be using their own particular terminology for their irons but, at the same time, the terminology; stitching iron, pricking iron, stitching chisel/punch, seems to be used interchangeably between the leathercraft community. Take notice that Sinabroks “stitching irons” use tooth spacing like 3.85mm, whereas, the “stitching irons - ‘flat’ are tooth spaces in even mm, like 2, 4, etc. It took me a few days to make heads or tails of it all.
Robyn Zuin I email sinabroks and got a reply from the man himself Jin and he said that his pricking irons work so you don’t need an awl they work as a stitching chisel
But then they make a stitching punch also and I know @littlekinggoods has both the sinabroks stitching punch and pricking irons not sure what one to buy ??
Thanks for your info.
Great Work as always Ryan!
Thanks David! It's been fun!
Awesome video. Love the production value! I am curious however how you get the flat heads in line with your stitch line? With diamond heads you just stick the point into the stitch line. I would think with the flat head irons you place the corner of the chisel tooth on the line - however it would appear you have the stitch line in the centre of the teeth??
Thanks! It's all about practice. The more you punch the better you will become. It will become second nature. YOU CAN DO IT!
Which pricking iron measure do you use? There are from 3 mm to 5.4 mm.
Thank you for the review Ryan!
Thanks so much!!!!
I’m a complete noob but though a pricking iron only pricks a mark and doesn’t go through the leather like a chisel does?
Sweet video man. What tooth count did you get? I’m getting the 10 tooth iron and debating on the 1 or 2 tooth iron
I have the 10 and 2 tooth. The 1 tooth is basically an awl.
Pricking Iron is pricking amazing!
What hole spacing do you prefer? Thanks.
They are the 4mm 10 and 2 tooth irons.
Hello!
I admire your work and videos.
Tell me, can you make a video on how to sharpen a synabrox punch?
I am sure you have a unique technique. I will be very grateful to you!
Thank! Good luck in job!
Hi Ryan, great videos, I'm ready to buy some Sinabroks pricking irons for mostly small work, wallets, small bags, etc., I was looking at 1, 2, 6, and 12 prongs, what would you recommend ?.. Thanks in advance, August
I’m surprised that dramatic taper is not a liability.... or is it a twist?
I see now
Hi Ryan, I'm starting up a small leather business and I have watched your videos for a while. You do amazing work and make even better tutorials and I appreciate it. I just ordered my first sinabrok pricks and I was wondering what type of thread you use paired with the sinabroks. I currently use John James needle and tiger thread but I've been having issues with the needles going through the thread and I'm assuming my thread may be to thick.
Not to be "that guy" but you're calling it a pricking iron but using it like a stitching chisel. A pricking iron only marks where the stitches will go then a punch awl is used to complete the hole for the needle. A stitching chisel sometimes called a diamond chisel is for punching completely through the leather for stitching. Sinabroks makes irons, chisels and lacing punches. Hope this was helpful.
You are using a pricking iron as a stitching iron. They are not the same. A pricking iron marks the leather, but is not meant to completely pierce the leather - that is done with your AWL. Stitching irons are meant to pierce through. The teeth are shaped different for a pricking iron and a stitching iron. So, which is the Sinabroks, stitching or pricking? Preserve Tradition.
Just got mine in the mail today and I was quite underwhelmed by the packaging gold foil aside it was pretty weak so I'll have to make something to store it in.
I do exactly the same as you do, but the back is OK, nice slanting, the front is unfortunately not. Any idea what that is? Thank you for the info🤗
