For number 3 non scented bar soap works great in place of jewelers past. I've been honing all of my blades with it since I was old enough to have a knife.
Tony. Your personality, wit, and no non-sense approach to life are your forte. I have watched everything you posted. And bought several patterns. Seriously, you deserve at least one million subscribers. But I think just leatherwork won't get you there. Please start another channel about you...the beauty of Romania, your daily errands, stories about your life at sea, etc. All your subscribers here will sub to that channel AND many more people around the world that are not leather people will love you like we do!
Using the wax when punching holes has changed the game!! You've mentioned this before and this came in handy when working on my bowler. Although, by the time I got this information I was already halfway through the "40" holes that needed to be punched. My hands killed for a few days after this project.
I subscribed after watching just one video from you. Maybe a bit "exaggerated acting" but I didn't skip a second of this video and laughed multiple times! 😂 Like it very much! Greetings from a Hobby Leathercrafter in Germany!
Tony thank u so much for sharing crated skills. U are amazing. Also thank u very much for you free gifts in south africa we are on complete lock down not earning any wages at all. What we can do with your free patterns and scrap leather help us forget the struggle. Hope u get blessed by the tons. In the good times i bought some patterns. And those times will come again. But want to say u have a fan for life. Henrico grobbelaar from cape town.
G'day, thanks for the great video, I am just beginning to develop an interest in leatherwork and totally enjoyed the way you present and explain your craft, thanks again.
Tried 2 of them today! The wax on the tape and making a punch handle. Both improved my work tremendously. Currently working on the pin cushion pattern from your etsy store. 👍👍
I could sure use a good pinch to cut my stitching holes. I have been using a drill bit and hand drill. Sometimes I need pliers to pull the thread through. Like your helpful reviews
Thanks for all the work you put into shooting and editing this video. This is a really comprehensive list. Finding good and thorough how-to's on the YT has been surprisingly difficult. I look forward to scrolling through your back catalogue. I fell into a leathercraft shaped rabbit hole over the Holidays. I'm finally at the point where I have enough vintage tools from the ebay to work on projects. Right now I'm working on an overly complicated tool roll for my leather-carving tools. I figure the best way to perfect my techniques is to work on some tool rolls and sheaths. Thanks for the inspiration... - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Yah, been doing all of these after seeing them bit by bit in your videos, Im just waiting on those edge dye marker pen thingys to arrive along with the edge dye, Covid19 lockdown in New Zealand included all non essential postal services, so had to wait 5 weeks before I could order stuff. Ps loved the number 4 hand set up.... lol
Great trick - no duds. As a shoe maker, using lots of tiny nails: Wash nails with dish soap, spray with vinegar, allow to rust slightly. This makes the nails less slippery and pulls the leather more than brite nails.
Craftsmanship of the masters. When I put on ma leather I made, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.
Only a true artists share their tricks 🍻.. many fear others will improve over them ... thanks The wax on the punch looks awesome , will any wax block dye? or will the thread cover up whatever wax has been punched thru the tape?

Great teachers share their knowledge. Tony is a great teacher.
Finally someone answered my question simply on what to do when your thread is too short. Thank you
Mr. Diesel, thanks for those great tips and thanks for not dragging them out into some melodramatic event, just great tips with examples. Thanks again
One of the best leatherworking tips videos I have seen.
It's guys and tutorials like this why I like UA-cam. Thank you
Well done, straight forward and to the point. Even old dogs can learn a new trick from the tutorial.

I am brand new to the craft, and so glad I have stumbled upon this channel.
Felt tip is a revelation. Thank you

That, Sir, was a moment of enlightenment. I thank you!
Awesome tips! Showing how to install a zipper (as part of the one tip) PRICELESS!

I just finished punching all tho holes for my current project(bout 1k+ holes). Wish I had watched this before that:/
Thank you 💜💜💜
A syringe for glue is cool. I use a small silicone squeegy. Easy to get fine lines and super easy to clean.
Maestro thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!!

DEAR FRIEND, VERY NICE AND THANKS, QUESTION, HOW YOU WILL COMPETE WITH CHINA MADE LEATHER
PRODUCTS? ANY SUGGESTION?.
evaristo cardona I'm not sure China stands a chance :)
Good job. Thanks for tips.

Tony, what are those pins you sometimes use to hold your leather together while you stitch? And where can I get some?
Great trick - no duds.
As a shoe maker, using lots of tiny nails: Wash nails with dish soap,
spray with vinegar, allow to rust slightly. This makes the nails less
slippery and pulls the leather more than brite nails.
У тебя крутая мастерская, вдохновляет ваять! Круто! 👍
Great tips. Thank you a lot. Waiting for new videos
Brilliant, thank you Tony!
