I watched a couple last night and they are very good! Just the right length, and packed with great info.

Thanks for sharing your expertise Nigel, I'm looking forward to trying your out your series!  

I've got an idea for your list... blade sharpening. 

A basic explanation of sharpening a straight knife is already on there.

I signed up. Ive only just started making leather stuff. As a lefty I've been told my whole life that I'm useless with my hands so its refreshing to see another lefty making great stuff.

 

would like to see saddle stitch using a pricking chisel from a left handed perspective.

The traditional saddle stitch left handed has been posted to the site.
This along with five other videos should keep you going for a few hours.

We are odd and different, but far from useless. We can do anything right handed better than they can do it left handed.

I wouldn't even try my left hand.  My right hand can hardly sign my name most days!  Can't even read my own writing half the time now.  Thank heavens for computers, I can still type and correct, so it is readable!

Finding the video's really useful. Loved the left handed saddle stitch one. The one on cutting leather was really useful and also how to thread a needle.
