    Thank you for an excellent presentation, with very clear narration. Exactly what I was searching for.
    We are moving into a retirement apartment, so have to rethink how I store all my tools, and bibs and bobs. The tool roll is an excellent solution.
    Fortunately my wife loves Festool Systainers, so that will be the basic storage, with stacks of Systainers on the Festool mobile carts.

  • @labrat7357
    @labrat7357 8 років тому +3

    I have made something similar a long time ago and the issues I had with it included the chrome tanned leather I used reacted with the brass ferrules initially and later with the blades of the chisels making them rust where it contacted them. That was apparently due to the chromium salts used in the tanning process. The pattern of stitching you have used was the same as the first one I made, it works but can be improved. I was fortunate to have a look at the tool rolls of a professional carver and the pockets were made with two rows of stitching between each handle pocket around 3/4" apart. The pockets were formed buy running a a 4 1/2" wide strip of fabric over the chisel handle so that each pocket had a pleat on each side that had to be gathered at the bottom and sewn. The strip already had a rolled edge sewn on the end that was to be the opening of the pocket.The edges were bound by adding an extra flap along each edge that covered the blades and prevented any chisels sliding out.
    The second attempt I made was a copy of those tool rolls and was not of leather but of very high quality synthetic fabric that was used in waterproof outdoor clothes and equipment. It was aprox double the cost of leather and has the benefit of not attracting and holding moisture. I also had a very skilled canvas worker advise me and carry out the work. That was some of the best money I ever spent.

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому

      Very cool. these can get really fancy really fast. One of my other chisel rolls is much like that,b ut I wanted to show a basic design for the beginner on this one.

    • @tonyy5482
      @tonyy5482 8 років тому

      Yes, chrome tanned leather has a reputation for rusting tools :( But Tannin - in for example oak tanned leather - on the other hand is used in rust converters and has a reputation for protecting tools against rust :)
      Also, I would highly recommend punching a single breathing hole in each compartment. I originally got this idea from Mora's plastic sheaths; I noticed that their wonderful carbon steel knives don't rust in their plastic sheaths in my damp garage. The reason appears to be a single breathing hole half way down the sheath. I have been using this idea with considerable success for several years now on all manner of sheaths and edge guards that I have made for axes, knives, leather tools, drawknives, etc. Oil the tools too though, 3-in-1 oil seems ideal for this.

    I just made a tool roll from canvas which seems to be working well so I may copy it in leather. However, I sewed it on my heavy duty sewing machine, much quicker. My dimensions were much the same although I left some pockets bigger for a strop, diamond card etc. All I need now is sufficient money to buy enough chisels to populate the pockets.

    Not glad that you measured wrong, but the double stitch really adds to it. I have been looking into doing some leather projects, but so far I have just made a strop. Also I think the chisel out approach makes more sense to me as well, with all those chisels it would be a PITA to find one. Great job

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому

      thanks! I was sad to see the miss measure but I too like the look of it. I stopped putting blades into the pocket the day I was stabbed by one that punched through the bottom of the pocket. still have a scar from that.

  • @robertbock5898
    @robertbock5898 8 років тому +3

    Looks great James. I would say, that as a leather craftsman with 30 years of experience you should never use metal hammers on your leather tools. It causes the ends to mushroom and ruins the plating on the tools. You should use your cabinet mallet or your carving mallet. From a safety point of view pieces of metal and plating can break off using metal hammers and get in your eyes or those of the small ones around you.

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому

      ya I could not find my rawhide mallet for this one still packed from moving. and I did not care about these punches as they were cheap. But I was not going to use a wooden mallet on them as I value the mallet far more than the punches.

    • @tonyy5482
      @tonyy5482 8 років тому

      Rawhide might be too soft, might damage you mallet. Why spend money? I use simple wooden clubs that I make. They are the cut-down left=overs of larger clubs/"beatles" that I use to rive green wood (with a froe). I make them quickly & crudely using a drawknife, usually from green ash and then let them dry for a few weeks or months. When the big club gets worn down, I cut the worn top off and use the remaining short club as a bench mallet. I have at least 4 floating around the workshop currently, very useful. They are round, like a sculptors mallet, which I like.

    • @bordenfleetwood5773
      @bordenfleetwood5773 7 років тому

      Wood By Wright Your joiner or carving mallets would work, too. Basically anything softer than the metal of the tool. For the same reason as (ideally) using mallets of softer wood than what you're hitting- the mallet will take the damage, not the tool or project. Thanks for the video!

  • @Quickstop85
    @Quickstop85 8 років тому +1

    Great work. Also if the blade is within the sheath it will be more likely to rust as leather holds moisture.

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому +1

      very true! I just had a bad experience with one finally working out when it was in the pocket and jabbing me when carying it. I still have a scar from it.

    I’m a leather worker with no experience with wood yet but this is exactly the type of video I’ve been looking for! Your channel is awesome. Can you give a bit more info on size and spacing of the slots please? I’d like to make this as a gift for someone who does woodworking but since I don’t, and don’t even own any chisels, I wasn’t sure how to size or space the slots or how many would be best to add. Are most chisels pretty standard when it comes to sizing? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but despite my leather experience I had no idea where to start with making a tool roll for tools I neither know how to use or own any of. Thanks!

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  3 роки тому

      Unfortunately there is no standard size. though most go From about 1" diameter to around 1.5" diameter. I made my pockets about 2.25" X 4.5" though to err on the side of caution if you made the slots 2.75" wide it should be able to comfortably hold all but the biggest handles and still not be too lose for the small ones. But if he just has carving chisels the 2.25" slot will work fine. it is the bench chisels that get bigger. hope that helps

    I want to get in some leather crafting, any advise in how to start on a budget? I see many kinds of starting sets, but they have very diverse priorities on what to offer.

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому +1

      first thing is to pick a project. Every project will need different tools. most things the big tool purchase is a set of punches and those can be less then $10. for this project you could get it all for under $30 under $15 if you look around. I have links to what I used in the description.

    • @workshoponwheels4936
      @workshoponwheels4936 8 років тому +1

      Wood By Wright My first leather projects would be a pencil case (kind of like the tool roll) and a ring binder based leather notebook. Also it is possible that I would make a smartphone wallet case, but that all depends on if my phone seems to be able last a long time (I almost maxed out my storage space on my iPhone, so it is getting to the frustration level that I am looking out for a replacement). One thing I would also like to make is leather suspenders but for that I would need to find some good inspiration since I don't want to use electric band or such. I did forget to check out the description, I will check out those links. Thanks for answering!

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому +1

      Nice list. a nice set of punches and a threading pick would get you a long way. one of the best places to learn is youtube. I will often just search for "Leather Phone case" and com up with dozens of videos. then find a method you like and give it a try. it is a lot easier then it looks.

    • @workshoponwheels4936
      @workshoponwheels4936 8 років тому +1

      Wood By Wright I think it is quite easy, when I was young I've learn to stitch fabric over a tear in one of my pants. It was as ugly as it could be, no even spacing and such. But I think with leather, if you have the tools and the patience it can get almost as easy, hence why I am thinking to do some leather craft. I have already seen a lot of leather craft videos and learned the basics (except telling the difference between good and less good leather quality), I just need to get the materials now. And some spare time. If I get confident enough, I will put it on UA-cam, so that it can inspire others as well. Just need a decent camera where the battery last longer than half an hour of FHD filming.

    • @tonyy5482
      @tonyy5482 8 років тому +2

      I would highly recommend getting Al Stohlman's brilliant (pictorial) booklet on handstitching leather. It will save you money and help prevent accidents. It really is a classic masterpiece that has not been surpassed. That will provide an excellent starting point. Later, I would recommend you get his tool book too. Also, Nigel Armitage's youtube videos (e.g. saddle stitching).
      Tool-wise, you really don't need much to start: A pricking iron (Chinese off ebay), a saddler's awl (with a proper diamond or leaf profile blade) which you will need to prepare (sharpening parts, blunting other parts), suitably sized needles (by John James or Osbourne) & thread for you project (e.g. Ritza Tiger polyester braid or Barbour linen thread are excellent choices). For saddle stitch, you'll use 2 needles at a time. Beeswax or paraffin wax (e.g. candle wax) are traditionally use on the thread.
      A Stanley/X-acto/modelling knife is more than adequate to start with. I have many leather knives of many shapes & sizes now but an old Stanley knife with a thick hooked bladed (made in Sheffield) is often my first choice.
      If dealing with multiple layer of thick leather (e.g. 3x 4-5mm), a Dremel-like tool can be used to drill holes, instead of using an awl.
      Later, a burnisher (can make or improvise these quite easily or cheap from ebay), an edge beveler. I prefer the #2 English *hollow* edge beveler for most things - like this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SADDLERS-LEATHER-WORK-TOOL-HOLLOW-EDGE-SHAVE-MADE-IN-ENGLAND-DIXON-STYLE-/381933612885 - but there are cheaper & easier to find options.
      Caveat: my interest is mainly in heavier leathers, making heavy duty safety guards for very sharp tools, such as axes and adzes.

  • @SawdustAndShavings
    @SawdustAndShavings 8 років тому +1

    What would you need to make a waxed canvas tool roll? How would you change the list of tools to deal with this different fabric?

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому

      that is even easier just a needle and thread. the only big difference is hemming all the edges. you may still want to put a rivet at the top of each line of stitching.

    • @SawdustAndShavings
      @SawdustAndShavings 8 років тому +1

      Would you still use the same tools as listed in the description?

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому

      you would not need the threading punch. as you can just force a needle through the fabric. and you would want lighter thread but other then that it would be the same.

  • @zsoltszugyi4099
    @zsoltszugyi4099 3 роки тому +1

    Congratulations on a great job! I would like to ask what size, especially the width of the pockets would be important?

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  3 роки тому

      the pockets are about 2" wide. some makers make them as wide as 2.5" but it depends on your chisel handles. measure half the diameter of your handles and make it a bit larger then that.

    I always wanted a nice set of carving tools, but they were too dear. The other day I was at a yard sale and found a cardboard box with tools in it for $30. It had 26 Hirsch gouges ( about $1200 worth). I am a blessed person but not necessarily "lucky". I went to Woodcraft and bought a canvas tool roll.
    Time to carve a project!

    Did you think about putting flaps on each side, so there is no way the chisels came slide out? I'm searching for a nice tool role.

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому

      not on this style. the handles of the chisels on the opposite side keep it from sliding out.

  • @tonyy5482
    @tonyy5482 8 років тому

    Another good video. Nice leather. . Cool tool roll :) Personally I would only use a rivet at each outside edge - if at all - and I would use saddle stitching, which is more secure (& traditional). If you get a much wider pricking iron (now available cheaply on ebay from China, c. £7), it would speed up the punching process & give nice straight lines. On the downside, you'd need to use a saddler's awl to open up the holes when stitching.
    I would vary the pocket widths too (like the excellent & reasonably priced Faithfull tool rolls) as I prefer to put the (various width) sharp ends in the pockets, rather than the handles. Caveat: My gouges are not a set, so the handles vary and each tool has a set, position - according to blade width.
    Interesting to see your width correction. Your design reminds me of that used by the Swedish Sloyd master, Wille Sundqvist (I highly recommend his book) - so it is probably a very good one ;) Although I think at least one of his is made of denim or heavy cloth rather than leather.

      Some of these are shorter then others but most all chisels are within 4" of each other. If it is a problem then I would see up the pockets for the shorter chisels so they can not go down as far.

      In another leather-tool-roll video by "The Minimalist Maker", she cuts a non-square parallelogram so that the lengths of the pockets vary when she folds it into a rectangle.

    I’ve heard that saddlers and cobblers typically use two needles at once (one in each hand) to do the kind of double stitching you did here.

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  6 років тому

      Yup. That can be faster and easer. Especially if you have a sticking vice. But I wanted to show the simpeler methoud to do the same thing that does not need the vice.

  • @willemkossen
    @willemkossen 8 років тому +1

    Very nice indeed.
    Doesnt the leather need some wax or oil as protection to prevent it getting dry? That might also protect against staining.
    I know these leather punching tools are sold cheap in the china shopping sites.
    Wouldnt the addition of some sort of buckle make fastening the leather belt easier? Hand made buckle project?

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому

      the problem of a buckle or strap is the diameter of the roll keeps changing drastically. and it just takes more time to latch it and feed it through the long strap. the tucking it under method has never come loose on me.

  • @NMarsh8899
    @NMarsh8899 8 років тому +1

    Awesome video. Why choose that style of stitching rather than the dual needle method that you see primarily in leathercraft? How long have you been doing leathercraft?

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому +1

      Thanks. for long stitch lines it is far easier to do a saddle stitch, but for short lines I find it easier to just go down and back. there is just less to think about. I have been working with leather for over 16 years. I got most of the way through college making full suits of roman armor in the dorm.

    That came out beautifully, James! I noticed that you have some Two Cherries, Pfeil, and Ramelson (?) carving gouges - how do they compare? It seems like everyone recommends the Pfeil chisels, but they are expensive! Looking to get into carving and would love to hear your opinions. Thanks for an awesome video! Keep up the great work!

    • @WoodByWright
      @WoodByWright  8 років тому +1

      I have a few antique chisels from different makers. if I buy new it is either Two Cherries or Pfeil. I think Two Cherries is a better bang for the buck. but for starting out you will not feel a difference till you have a few years working with them.

    Your "mistake" gave me an idea for future use. If instead of stitching the two halves together, you used a series of snaps. Then you could separate the two halves and use the snaps as a way to hang the two halves on the wall, etc.

      eventually, the tool roll will wear out but that won't happen for a long time. my last one the stitching lasted for over 20 years as it belonged to my father. even then there were only 2-4 pockets with bad stitching. and when that happens I can re stitch it.

      LOL I used to buy from Tandy here in the St. Louis area, but when most of the stuff I was buying from Tandy was 1/3 to 1/2 cheaper from S-T I started going there. Granted they are both in driving distance for me, but the price difference was huge. Now Tandy is closed here so it is all I have. :) I can't tell you how many belt blanks and hides I have purchased from Tandy over the years, but when I got into Historical Reenactment my need for leather went way up, I was very happy to find S-T Leather. Having an outlet at hand is great, you don't have to put a project on hold while you get supplies shipped to be sure, but if you can not having to pay sales tax and the cheaper price off sets the cost of shipping and then some.
