the speeding up parts of the video really helped understand how to execute the tips

Doing repairs on an old car. Several places on the convertible top have rotted out thread. I intend to replace stitching new thread a section at a time to follow original holes & manage consistent tension. Haven't done these type projects in a while so I needed guidance to refresh my memory. Watching your video demonstrating techniques & offering tips was very helpful. Thank you for taking your time to make this video & share your knowledge of this fine craftsmanship. Wishing you abundant blessings!

-Poking holes with a paint brush handle as a base is a great way to get a needle through your finger.
-You only need to pierce the thread once when threading a needle.
-Don't even get me started on the way you finished a stitch line!
-Loved your skiving knife though!

Thanks for the tips. I'm going to work on my first leather project so they're more than welcome

Your video was very informative regardless of the lack of words. My father taught me to pay attention to actions, and your actions are clear and precise. The music you picked was lovely. My orchestra and I played that a while back. It's one of my favorites. I'd enjoy to watch more videos like this.

I agree with koikoi below, that does not give a professional finish. At Hermes when I worked at the Pantin workshop, we always back stitched twice sometimes three times and cut the thread 3mm proud of the hole. Using a round awl dipped in leather glue, the end of the threads were then pushed into the holes to give a clean lasting, secure finish. This was then lightly hammered after to bed the threads.

Looks like a Vergez Blanchard compass. I have one and it is really TIGHT...hard to adjust the legs. In your experience, do these loosen up over time? Thanks for the video.

The music was fine. Stringed instruments are amazing. You should pick the music you like. It's your video. Thanks for sharing

Avoid the knot after back stitching, you're never getting rid of that unsightly bump of thread on the edge now. Just back stitch and and cut the excess close to the leather. You can burn the bits of thread if you a lot left after cutting but be VERY careful doing this.

I really like Nutcracker so imma be honest- I gave this video a thumbs up as soon as it started!😍

[davidfanning]

Kinda wish there were some instructions so we know what you're doing as you do them. How you wrap the thread, how you tie your knot, what grit wetpaper you're using, so on.

I’ve been desperate to do leather work for twenty five years but too intimidated so haven’t.
This one video has taught me everything to get confidence to make at least two of my ideas.
Thank you so so much xxx

Yep I think I might forget most of what I just saw

[carolinelandel]

Merci pour cette très précise vidéo, simple et bien filmée.

[carolesimard]

thanks for this video, can you tell me what kind of cardboard you use?

[blairmonsen]

Thank you for this upload. I have recently started to do leather working and for the most part I am self taught. I definitely learned some very good techniques, and quickly subscribed to your channel.
