If only all instructional videos on youtube were as good as this. don't get me wrong I have a lot of respect for all those people who take the time to upload instructional videos but every now and then you come across someone who has nice, steady camera work and explains things in a systematic and articulate manner that makes the videos a pleasure to watch. I salute you. Send my regards to satan when he pops in for a trim next.
Hi, re kydex hardware. I think 1/4 inch rivets and dies from Knife kits will work with both 1.5 & 2mm kydex. Just haveing a play with this as like yourself I really prefer leather. Many thanks for all your vids. Cheers.
I just got an Arbor press today for 25USD. It's a 1-ton so I'm excited to use it for these exact same applications. I will have to find someone to drill the hole in the ram for me.
you're brilliant! These leatherworking tools are very simple...seriously...why pay so much money! I repair watches for fun and I can't believe the astronomical cost of tools...when so much of them can be made by modifying other tools. Yes, if you're a professional. I'm a hobbyst so I am too on a budget; same applies for leather works.
It's nice to see others utilize this useful tool too!! I got one at Harbor Freight on sale for $27 USD and had one of the tooling guys at my day job drill the ram for me to fit the various setting tools you outlined here. A real time, money, and arm saver all around.
I never would have thought that there were so many uses for that press! Great video, very informative! Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Keep up the great work!
I have this same arbor press. Drilling it out to accept the different dies is a great idea. Looks like I'll be modifying mine. Thanks.

The Tandy press looks just like Ebay item 170752407889.

I'm curious as to your inspiration for your logo? Do you have Greek ancestry?

@Microglia1 not at all no! My family has been in Yorkshire since at least the 1500s :) The owl is the logo of the City of Leeds where I live.
