@NorfolkHandmade9 күн бұрын
You can use a stropping block for the back side. The top side of the edge beveler, cut a piece of leather to the same inside dimension of the beveler. Or you can buy an edge beveler sharpening block…lol

Nice representation of the differences between stitch spacing and thread sizes. There's a lot more to the end result that maybe you could cover on a future video or videos. The type of thread also matters. Round, linen thread versus flat, braided polyester, for example. When I use them, they yield different results even when using the same irons. Since you asked for feedback, I prefer the appearance of the 3.38mm irons and the 0.45mm or 0.55mm thread. To me, there's way too much hole left visible in the 5mm and 0.45mm/0.55mm combination. Holes are necessary, but I feel better when they are less prominent. I also would have liked to have seen the backside of the samples. Both sides matter. And of course, stitching technique matters. So in the end, good stitching is a synergy of an array of products and techniques. Not easy to explain in a short time. That's why Nigel Armitage released the 4 part series on saddle stitching, definitely worth watching to be able to really understand what goes into saddle stitching and why. I enjoy your content, keep it up!
@NorfolkHandmade3 ай бұрын
Thanks for the feedback. I tried to keep this one simple because I think a lot of people drastically over complicate the matter. That’s why I left out the actual technique, that’s for another video. I personally think the vast majority of people don’t need to consider all the variables that are covered in Neil’s video. I think it’s videos like that that make new leatherworks think it’s more complicated than it is. When I started out Neil was a valuable resource. Know that I do this full time I realize how simple it can be, there’s no need to overcomplicate the matter and a 4 hour series on it is very much over complicating the matter even if it’s perfectly accurate…which of course it is.

@@NorfolkHandmade I agree that sometimes too much information can be overwhelming. Nigel's video series is more for those wanting to take that deeper dive.
