  What thickness leather is usually used for these 80-90s sofas? 1.5mm?

• 
  @TraditionalTimes5 күн бұрын

  Yeah. Mostly 1-1.5mm for a sofa. Anything thicker would be a waste.

  after you recycle the leather, is there a way to remove that shine? or change it's color ?

  I;ve never tried either myself. I tend to just use as is. However I do remember seeing a youtube video a while back on the subject of restaining old leather. I'll see if I can dig it out.

  ... and the best bit is almost all of it can be recycled... Wooden fram can be reused for woodworking (or keeping warm if nothing else), padding and foam can be bagged for future upholstery projects, metal can be recycled via the scrap man... really thre is very little that need go to waste. If I have encouraged one person to recycle a sofa... am a happy man... :)

  6:45 the way you fan the knife in your hand talking about how dangerous it is was terrifying 😳 Great video, exactly my question on why that knife, and how its used. Thank you

• 
  @TraditionalTimes2 ай бұрын

  Thanks. The most important thing to remember is to store the knife properly. I now hang it between two pegs on the wall. Every time I have cut myself with this knife it's because it was either loose on a bench or in a drawer and I was looking for something else. A leather sheath also helps reduce the chance of injury. It has one of those now too. :)

  What was that tool that he was using the knock in those tiny brads/pins? Is that what they used to use in the olden days? A hammer?... Kidding. It's so refreshing to see a someone NOT using a nail gun. Stay crafty. It's also nice to see someone working at a pace thats dictated by his desire for accuracy without all the hoopla and need for jigs or apparatuses to facilitate repeatability More time is wasted in my shop trying to develop a repeatable product or process, when it's likely that I'll only do something once. It's the engineer in me obstructing the craftsman that I desire to become.

• 
  @TraditionalTimes5 ай бұрын

  Couldn't agree more. Nailers are good for quick assemblies using plywood, but if you are crafting a cabinet or toolbox, pins and a small pin hammer are more accurate, more reliable and better in general for the soul. Craftsmanship over mass production is always the best way. I do use jigs but only for the purposes of accuracy. Jigs are great for mass production but as soon as you start to mass produce, then you lose the beauty inherent in a one off piece. Mass production is in and of itself a soulless thing.

  Hi, I'm new to your channel. (the first video was the tool chest you just built). Your finishing method is quite similar to another UK wood worker (Epic Upcycling). i'm in the USA. This method clearly applies a stain and wax finish the gives a nice shine without being to bright or glossy. Here you show us how you warm the APPLIED finish and then give it a bit of a polish. Brilliant idea. When you do that, it looks like a bit of the wax is worked into the wood.. I am looking forward to looking at your older videos and what's to come. ;-)

  Hi there. Thanks for the compliment. It's Briwax Walnut natural wax polish. You can apply it dry, but for projects where I want to make the piece look aged I warm the tin through in a container of hot water (to melt the wax), then splodge it on and while the wax cools wipe of the excess. Then it leaves a nice mottled aged look as if the toolbox has been kicking around the workshop for years!!! 😁
