Joan, I absolutely adore your accent. You are clear, concise, and are of collected thought. I'm glad you are in front of the camera now too. I seem to pay attention more to those outside of the "states". Nothing drives me away faster than, Um....Uh....and uh. A uniquely American lack of forethought. May I ask where you are from? So far my favorite Leather crafters are from, UK, Scotland, Romania, Korea, Ukraine, if you can't understand the language leather crafters around the world are a sharing community.

I really like how you added a notebook and videos as tools. They are often overlooked on these lists, but very important to capture the “ah-ha” moment or solve a problem.

I love those door stops. Actually have them in several sizes. Won't break the bank either! Great video as always!

That safety ruler is something not a lot of crafters use (but should)!

Great as usual. Instead of card stock, if you have access to a jigsaw or fret saw try gluing wet and dry to MDF.

Really great advice, I plan to use a few of these gems! It is always nice to visit with Skyler!! My cats are not the same, they are rather like grumpy overseers.

Thanks, that was a good list of modern day leather works tips. The door stops as weight excellent, I have a number of very old metal pattern weights. A tip for those looking for sharpener stones and diamond sharpeners, in Australia on eBay there are a lot of suppliers of Japanese whetstones and the diamond honeycomb pattern in ranges from 600 up to 8000. I guess eBay in most countries would also sell these items.

Awesome video Jo always enjoy what you do. I think I will pick up a 72 inch ruler for my shop longest I have is 48 and it just misses the mark.

I hate this fact, but... I'm very much into knives and sharpening. I have many knives and natural and synthetic whetstones. My best leathercraft knife is a damn rotary cutter. It's by far the best for long cuts. Like she was saying, it doesn't stretch out the leather. Also, just throwing this out there, I don't use a regular leather knife, but I use a Japanese Kiridashi. If you're never used one, check them out. They are my favorite skiving knife by far
