Three day course this week with two students making an overnight bag. Two different shades of blue veg tan leather were chosen with solid brass fixings. The first day is a lot of cutting, bevelling and burnishing with the sewing starting tomorrow.

Ok so here is the final image of the bag Jez completed on his 3 day course. It was a while since he’d been in the workshop so it was great to see how quickly he got back into the leatherwork. Really pleased how this turned out.

So Jez who is on a three day leather course is finishing off and is now at the stage of cutting two straps for the bag. Here he is using a Plough Gauge which is a very old traditional tool to cut thick leather straps or belts.
My favourite tool to use in the studio so always happy to share the knowledge.

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.

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.
