    Just wondering if anyone else is telling Jerimiah Watt they are having this problem? Unless we let them know they may not know there is a problem. I have contacted them and am waiting for a second reply, holidays and all I am sure I will get another e-mail next week. I'm also going to send Nigel Armitage a note and ask him if he is actually using the tool, and if so has he had any problems with it holding an edge. On another note I'm wondering how everyone edges their projects wet or dry? I have always done it dry, found my Tandy tool cuts better when the leather is dry. Let me know.

    I just got mine a week or so ago. I was hoping that I had received a bad tool as well, but seems there are a few others? I am working with them and hope that maybe a few of us got some poorly tempered ones. I think Watt tools have a very good reputation for putting out great quality tools, and they have been very quick to address my problem. I'm not knocking their tool, just wondering if any other folks had the same problem I had.

    I don't think this reflects on Watt's tools in general, but there are three of us so far that have found the quick change edgers don't hold an edge. My Tandy edger cuts a crappy edge, but at least it stays sharp.

    Hey Thanks JLS, I was wondering, and actually a little afraid to say something about one of the premier tool producers. I sent them a note, will wait for a reply, and let you know what they say. Have a great day!

    Anyone else using the Jerimiah Watt quick change edging tools? I just got a set which were recommended by Nigel Armitage, and was really happy with the first couple cuts. That said I found mine dulled very quickly, less than four feet of edging, and I can't seem to get an edge on them now. Really disappointed, hoping it's just my blade, and wondering if anyone can help me out with a suggestion for sharpening. I'm thinking I may just have got a bad blade with a poor temper? Has anyone else used them, and what is your opinion? Thanks.

    Nice job very clean looking. How many stitches per inch?

    Nice job, I made one of these a while back, had sore fingers for a couple days after, lots of stitching.

    Yes I did a little tweaking on my awl also, just wish they would have put a better ferrule on them, I have scratched a few molded pouches with mine.

    Thanks Jole, I'm still learning, but people are starting to ask for stuff so it can't be that bad.

    Here is what I have been up to today, working on my saddle stitching. I know, gotta watch my corners!

    Looks pretty nice, what kind of finish did you use or is it natural?
