I am not totaly clear on your question. Are you asking for a complete list of tools he used, or is there something particular? As to the 5:50 yes it is sandpaper, 6:16 black cloth appears to be canvas or other coarse cloth for burnishing.

If you are asking about the elctric tool it is called a creasing iron or hot creaser. There was also pricking iron, awl, french skiver etc. Hope this helps.

Wow! That is some high-end craftsmanship right there!

I can't help but get incredibly envious when I see someone with a workshop like that - leaves me wondering what chance I have with a too-small desk and no tools

5:50 - SIA abrasives aluminium oxide sandpaper, It's only available up to 600 grit so he's probably using 400-600 grade for final finishing.

6:16 - Looks like a flat weave microfibre cloth like the ones you use to clean lenses, theyr'e smoother than the regular type of micro cloths you can get by far.

6:27 - Paraffin wax. Probably using it for final finishing because it has a melting point as low as about 40C and could be easily hand buffed (whereas beeswax melts at about 62-64C and is difficult to hand buff)

That is a beautiful and detailed video. I may have saved it for future reference.

Thank you for pointing it out.
