You are clearly very talented, but it would've been nice to get to see the working head of your stamp, and would've been nice to see the detail you were talking about, instead of having the view blocked by your mallet.
Muy buenas que bonito queda con esas herramientas las cosas que haces me gustaria saber donde puedo conseguirlas y el precio que tienen por que son una marabilla saludo desde España Alicante
I like the fact that you can change the direction that you are sewing. This is more versatile than a cylinder arm machine. Did you add the servo motor or did it come with it.
I got my first Barry King tool recently, a sharp turn beveler and now I see why people love these tools. The workmanship on this thing is just flawless, highly recommended
I have a sail rite for my smaller work. They advertised it as being able to handle way more than it can. I’m so glad I ran into this video. I primarily make knife sheaths. My husband is a bladesmith, he’s started doing it full time. I can’t keep up with the hand stitching. Looks like class 4 is our machine!!
Thank You Tim. I love using round knives and rocking them forward. I needed someone to tell me why I lose control when I rock to far. Best demonstration of using a round knife I have ever saw.
If King's tools were the best, people like Jim Linnell would use them exclusively. Not saying the tools are bad, but you really are just paying for the name. Vintage craftools have been around just as long, and they are still carving out art every day. If you like King's tools and want some, that's great. It's not going to make you better at leather work though. If in days of old, carvers could turn out works of art with nails and bolts they formed themselves, that is the first clue that it's REALLY more about the person running the tool then it is about the tool. Barry's tools are for people who don't mind paying 4-5 times more for a tool that will work the same as one that costs less.
