Amazing thank you
Excellent! Are the amazing rulers you use available anywhere?
Which rulers do you mean ? I have about 20 different one 😅
The larger heavy and thick metal ones.
Oh. I get them at a local stationary store here in zurich
Would you be able to post a brand?
What's a good crimping pliers brand? I can only seem to find a flat head plier on Etsy.
The best ones are the Blanchard
Where did you find the pricking board in this picture. All the ones I can find are smaller ones? thanks
It’s a German company called Röchling. They have all manners of cutting boards in different sizes, thicknesses and density
It looks a bit hard, will it not damage the pricking iron?
@Daniyar Kasymjanov nope. its made for that.
Hi Peter, thanks for making your videos so informative and digestible. Really enjoying them and still making my way through them. May I know what kind of glue do you use for gluing leather together and are there different glues for different leathers or items?
I use ecostick for most everything
Thank you! I have almost all. But I need some basic tools as the clamp to sew and I want the ks blade Pricking Irons as soon I can. 😁 For the moment... my boyfriend for Christmas gave me this beauty after he restored it.
That’s really pretty!!
I think it was from early '900. Made in Italy. 😊 I love old tools!
