Both of these videos (Part 1 and 2) were exceptional. The criss-crotch stitch line was a critical note. Your thought process on precise measurement was excellent. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together.
A very enjoyable watch Nigel. One thing that did confuse me slightly was when you were counting the stitches in the pocket I thought you'd miscounted when you got 47 (10+3+10+10+3+10). Then I paused it and counted them myself and I realised you don't count the one on the center line - those two central 10s are the number of stitches between the center line and the way lines. Should have known better than to think you'd make an error like that 😁
At least you made the connection, doing it this way, you always leave the centre hole out of the count until the final total. As an aside, doing it this way will always give you an odd number. If it is ever even, something g has gone wrong.
@@ArmitageLeather Yeah, it's one of those things that I probably wouldn't have thought about but once you showed it and I thought about it a bit then it really does make perfect sense to do it this way.
Outstanding work, as per usual, thank you! Just wondering if you know which supplier/maker has the thinnest/narrowest tooth dimension on their irons? @11:11
Two questions: when you make a four pocket wallet how much space do you put between bottom of the bottom pocket and top pocket and do you stitch all the way across or just part way?
Just started watching this, but I couldn't agree more with teaching the "why". Nothing broadens your horizons like grasping the why. This applies to many endeavours, a historian that does not grasp the why learns nothing of value, doctors that observed that Milk maids who had cow pox didn't get small pox did nothing for humanity but the doctor who asked why has now saved the lives of hundreds of millions. In fact, I can not think of any endeavour not enriched by a grasp of the why.
Earlier in the video, it is explained that for part of the template you need 4mm for the stitch line. 1mm for the actual stitching and 2mm wiggle room so the card will sit 7mm away from the edge of the leather. To decide on how large or small the curve of the corner needs to be, using 7mm around both side and bottom illustrates how much leather will be needed in a circle using the corner of the card as its centre, to ensure the card will sit well in the pocket with the distance from the stitch line to the edge of the leather being the same distance all around the curve chosen. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, glad you got the pre-pricking approach. It really does help.
I’m going to have to watch this several times to make sure I have it in my brain. 😊
Good idea.
Brilliant, thank-you Nigel, looking forward to watching the rest, novice leather crafter so learning heaps.🙂
Glad you are finding it useful.
Fantastic teacher. Thank you Sir.
Thank you for the kind words.

Am I missing something..@ 37;36 why does the card sit at 7mm from the side and bottom ..scratching my head..um
