Three day course today with a student who has visited me on a couple of occasions. Will be making an overnight bag based on a second hand bag I’ve had for about ten years. Could be a bit of a challenge!! #leatherbagmaking #leathercoursesbritain #leathercourses #leathercraft #bagmaking #leatherclass

DAY 09: Edge Slicker
One of those tools that is really satisfying to use and gives a great result in no time at all. Here I am burnishing the edges of a bag made of vegetable tanned leather and just using a little water. You can use other burnishing agents such as gum tragacanth and beeswax depending in the leather and finish. Gives a really nice slick finish.

DAY 08: Setting Tool

You can get a wide variety of setting machines for fixing rivets eyelets and fasteners but I have always preferred the very manual way of doing this little task. Copper is soft metal so it’s never really a problem to set these in place but brass can sometimes be a little harder. #toolsofthetrade #10daysoftools #leatherwork #traditionaltools #leatherworker #madebyhand #leatherworkshop #madeinengland🇬🇧 #madetolast

DAY 07: Hole Punch Machine

This leather belt and strap hole punching machine is great for high level accuracy and I use it when I’m doing a lot of belts and bag straps. Strap widths can be between 1/2 to 4-1/8 inches wide and you can also set the hole spacing and hole size.

I particularly like the mechanical repetition and the hand crank wheel gives a good controls and sounds like some kind of old vintage machine when it punches through the leather to make the holes. Its also neat size and complements my studio space. #toolsofthetrade #10daysoftools #leatherwork #traditionaltools #leatherworker #madebyhand #leatherworkshop #madeinengland🇬🇧 #madetolast

DAY 05: Edge Beveler

Edge bevelers come in all shapes and sizes and this tool is predominantly used to trim and round off the edge of leather in preparation for finishing. I particular like this type, which is good for mid-weight leathers, again I polish it regularly to ensure a neat result.

DAY 04: Edge Creaser
I have a various edge creaser tools and as far as I am aware the crease line serves no purpose other than for decoration. Usually used on harness/bridle work, and saddlers would often make other products such as belts etc, and use of the crease line was used. Very satisfying and tricky all in one go.

DAY 03: Clicker Knife
This is a traditional shoe maker's clicker knife, made by Barnsleys of Sheffield. It's great for cutting curves and pattern pieces accurately as it's such a well balanced and precise tool.
The handle is wood turned at Barnsley’s and I love the deep mahogany colour. It has metal jaws which open and close by turning the central ferrule, in order to fit the blade.
I love this tool and have spent many a time visiting the wonderful staff at Barnsley’s who are full of knowledge and passion for their trade.

DAY 02: Edge Paint Applicator

This little beauty is a great companion for applying edge paint to the edges of your leather project.
The tip has a nice diameter to both hold a good amount of edge paint and not inhibit precision.
A great benefit of this tool is that if the edge paint dries it can be easily removed from the stainless steel.

I have been challenged by the very talented @charlie.goldthorpe to post 10 tools over the next 10 days that have shaped my work and practice.

DAY 01: Vintage Plough Gauge

Couldn’t believe my luck when I found this beauty in an antique shop many years ago. It’s a plough gauge made by H Brindley in 1915, either Birmingham or Sheffield. I use it all the time for cutting straps and belts. I love the level of quality after all these years and it feels very natural to use. Just need to remember to sharpen the blade from time to time.
