Tools For Leather Craft!

The Mascon Magic Mobile Tool Cart - a behind the scenes look at the tool cart I use every day, and all of the leather craft tools I use most often.

------

I'm asked nearly every day, "Can you show me your tool cart?" and "What tool do you use for _____?". I try as best as I can to reply to all comments and questions. However, this was good way to answer everyone at once.

My setup has evolved over many years. And it continues to evolve daily (I made another change yesterday). It's not aesthetically please, by any means. But it's extremely functional and efficient.

I also prefer, when possible, to "use what you have". Like pressure treaded 4x4's and cherry logs for tool racks. I also prefer to modify my tools to fit my needs, rather than me having to adjust to them. I acquire tools to "use", not to "look at". This is also the reason my son started making a lot of the tools I use (as seen in the video). I have specific specs in mind for certain tools. Specs that simply aren't available in the market. So, why not make them yourself?

That's a perfect segway into the "Mascon & ZeeBee Tools". We both had certain demands from the tools we used. The market was not meeting those demands. So we decided to make a difference, and create the tools we wanted. Now they're available to the public, as well!

Nothing interests me more than looking at how others set up their workshops ... space saving techniques & innovative methods of improvising & recycling old bits & pieces to form new useful storage of tools/materials/lighting etc etc ... awesome ... I won't mention the hair piece in the window ... mum's the word ... lol ...

[dmack]

Looks like a perfect size shop. Oh, to have more space. I must start kicking the kids out!

[dennisheisey]

I appreciate you sharing your shop tips. I used a "el cheapo" roller tool chest I bought at a flea market. That is until today. I just received my rolling tool cart that you recommended. Build starts later today. Amazon should give you a royalty for recommending this cart! Anyway, keep up the good work.

[kiwijase]

Awesome set up you got there well organised cheers for the tour

[vycogh]

Awww, such a sweet doggie. More Chloe please and thank you.

Kool, handy setup!! Enjoyed seeing your tools that you use, making so many awesome projects.. pretty much a newbie, but I've been collecting good tools and leather now, for over a year.. one thing I've learnt, watching your vids, I need more room!! Lol. There's tools and helpers you use, now I've got to get.. the tools your son makes are nice, heavy looking tools. Gotta find your site to try buy few things. I'm sure most things may be out of my price range, for time being, but I can at least start collecting.. lol.

[charleyzavisch]

Great viedo my favorite so far. You are surely organized!!!!

[Annalorrainex]

Omg. A too cart. What a great idea er

[josh_lao]

Mine arrived this weekend. I work out in the kitchen and my tools had taken over the island. It is clear now to use it as a workspace again. I still need a place to store my leather and all the bags of hardware.

[joshuapoche]

Holy geez the turkey baster for thinner. I HATE spilling the thinner, just as much ends up on ground that gets in the glue. Genius idea

[marcclapton]

Thank you for the tour of the kart, it definitely is a beast of a setup!!!!

[grandcuir]

No tools cart is complete without a Chloe. I like how you make things work for you

[fordlav]

Fantastic job good Sir. Definitely helpful and yes every video better have a pic of the dog.

[Stonecraft_Leather]

i totally bought the shop cart. game changer to get all that stuff off my work top and now my desk drawers can be used to store patters. You are awesome.

[teenaidoo]

Thank you. I would love to start soon. Right now I have nothing but a heart n mind full if wishes.. looking forward to learning n getting started. All this is so expensive for me right now, but someday I hope to get started. Thank you for all your information n all the videos great job. God bless 🙌 🙏.

Cool video love the set up, Thanks for sharing

[elijenkinson]

Thank you for doing this. I have an old Gerber(USA) MP400 multitool, but the metal is too soft to do any real work(I dented the wire cutters by clipping guitar strings). So I challenged it(and myself) for its final task, to create its own sheath to preserve it, using ONLY the multitool. I successfully made one out of an old belt and screw rivets. A bit crude, but effective. Turns out, I had a great time doing it. Now I need a passport wallet to also accomodate an international drivers license. Since I can't find one, I think it would make a great second leather project. Your videos are an awesome resource for info, ideas, techniques, and implementations. Cool style too! Time for me to get some decent tools. Subscribed.

I hate stuff on my counters, desks and benches…but it’s also my curse…that hammer is nice, it looks like a wizards hat!

[bjellison]

Just getting started I love it but I gotta really learn to start using patterns

[tokimfamily]
