Members Mjolnir131 Posted March 13, 2015 Members Report Posted March 13, 2015 I was looking for that little knot you use to make a prepunched rows look better, but it appears they are no longer on Youtube. Quote
Pip Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Hi Pip, polishing your awl will help immensely! Moisture can have a huge impact, if you've dampened your leather or moulded it and the leather is not fully dry, it can hang onto the leather. Most Walsh come rough so need polishing first. What awl are you using. Can you send me some pics of how your doing what your doing and see if that helps to answere the issue. Nige Hi Pip, polishing your awl will help immensely!

Nige Nige Been off grid for a while, now catching up on threads, sorry I didn't respond.Kinda got sucked up into my job, haven't had a chance to look. I recently followed advice used a bit of beeswax on the awl and now much better, plus I learned to sharpen better. Thanks for your help. Pip Quote
ChriJ Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 I was looking for that little knot you use to make a prepunched rows look better, but it appears they are no longer on Youtube. I think the knot is covered in the "Saddle Stitch in Detail" video. Chris Quote
splinters Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 The videos seem to no longer be available. Just found this thread and was looking forward to Nige's saddle stitching videos. Seems everyone was very high on them. That's a shame. Quote

Members Hawk Scarbrough Posted October 24, 2015 Members Report Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Through the wonders of the internet and what I call internetworking, we have a series of videos made by LW member Nigel Armitage for another member. There have been a LOT of questions about the basics of hand stitching and I thought the entire site could benefit from Nigel's expertise. Take a look at his work and his other videos to see why I am impressed with his work. Thanks Nigel for taking the time to create these videos and I am looking forward to the next installment! http://youtu.be/zeQt-nvLWyo http://youtu.be/xS1j_Uifmhw I have a library of leather working videos, about 100, give or take, on the entire spectrum of leather work. This includes several by Armitage, Dick Cheney, (and other Tandy videos) They are good for both the beginner and the more advanced Leather hobbiest or professional. Easy to download.

Members joecool911 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Report Posted December 4, 2015 Cheers Adam, hers are a couple of snaps of the log, it's not a new idea, I stole if from someone who in turn stole it from someone else, it's just a log with the pony strapped to it, I spend a lot of time at this so I thought I'd make it it's own tool belt, it's just slots and loops so is fully adjustable for all my tools.As for the Veg-Tan, try these, a few links I think you will find useful, I have used them all and have not had a problem with any of them although i have not had any leather from Tandy.Metropolitan Leather http://www.metropolitanleather.com/Abbey England http://www.abbeyengland.com/en-us/home.aspxJ & FJ Baker http://www.jfjbaker.co.uk/you also have LePrevo http://www.leprevo.co.uk/ and Tandy http://www.tandyleather.eu/en-eur/home/home.aspxHope that helps.Nigel Nigel, If you don't mind me asking, does the top leather tool strap help secure the pony?

Members AhniRadvanyi Posted December 19, 2015 Members Report Posted December 19, 2015 For hand stitching with a sewing awl, use waxed nylon or poly thread. Black or brown are better because you can melt the ends without looking dirty (white thread melts into brown) <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1WOKsT64yEA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WOKsT64yEA You can order thread here: TandyLeatherFactory.com sewing awl thread:http://www.tandyleather.com/en/produc...Amazon.com sewing awl thread:http://www.amazon.com/284yrd-Leather-...
