A Shift Knob in leather - Auto Upholstery 

I am so glad to have found your channel!! I have been doing leatherwork for about a year but no one ever asked me to do a steering wheel until recently. I truly appreciate how you are sharing this knowledge as such info is hard to find without paying a small fortune. THANK YOU!

What an incredible creation the human being is.

Patience of a Saint the delicate touch the years of doing and creating giving us this showmanship of a Video thank-you once again with showing us what can be done

I had no idea how much work went into a leather gearstick knob, amazing, thank you for the demo. My gear knob hurts my hand so I will be doing this at some point, I wouldn't have had a clue without this video!

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge. Craftsmen - especially from your generation - often protective of their experience and knowledge but you choose to give freely from what you have had to work hard to understand yourself. Your generosity of your knowledge is uncommon and I am very appreciative of it.

Excellent job 😊😊😊

Добрый день , мастер мне очень нравится как Вы работаете , а я только учусь и ваши видео очень помогают начинающим мастерам. Спасибо большое за Вашу работу. С уважением Виктор.

Your work is very good. You are a person full of charity.thank you

he actually cares about his workmanship with all the small details and steps he does not to skip even the tiniest of things such as a dab of glue at places. you sir do excellent work!!

Very good and neat I also learnt something tops

Thank-you for sharing your techinques! Truly the hands of a master at work. You have clearly shown both how to achieve a leather wrapped gear change knob and why most common cars come with a hard plastic piece instead!

Sir, you have the hands of an angel and the patients of a total professional master craftsman! And such superb quality work! .

Wow! Such a simple thing..yet it requires such intricate work and skilled hands! Thank you for this video! It really makes me want to get into leather working!

Excellent work

parabéns pelos seus trabalhos!!!

Great work

Watching you pull that leather into place with pliers and now I understand how some of the women in my neighborhood get their jeans on... 🙄

Awesome job man love it 👌👌👌👌😁

buenos trabajos amigo mio aqui un admirador vuestro un saludo

Отличная работа!

That's a good job.

Thank you

Man that is so awesome. I was with you until the sewing machine. I don't have one or access to one. But I am going to try this, I will just have to go the stitching on each piece by hand. If I measure it out correctly, using the template you made for marking out the stitches. I think I can make this work. It will probably be frustrating, I will most likely have to do it more than once, and cost me a bit more. But I want a Red shift knob, to match my Red leather MOMO steering wheel and the custom Red leather shift boot and emergency brake lever cover I bought from a craftsman in England. I have searched high and low for a Red leather shift knob for my car, but they were all either cheap looking, metal, or just plain junk. Nothing as nice as this. I am definately going to try this. 🤔 You do outstanding work, thank you for posting this. On the chance ( more like probability ) that my efforts fall short of my expectations. Do you accept commissions by mail? After I ruin my shift knob, can I buy a new one and send it to you for professional results? I would like a nice bright red, with black stitching. The shift knob is for a 1996 Volkswagen MKIII Cabriolet. Once again very nice work. Thanks for posting.

Muy buen trabajo, excelente.

Классная работа , настоящий мастер своего дела . С уважением Виктор .

Elinize sağlık. Büyük ustaların kıymetinini bilmek gerekiyor

Excellent thanks

Fooooooort c'est un bon travail wooooow Bravo

An OEM Honda 3 piece leather wrapped knob, with baseball stitching, sells for $ 219.28 (US). Be kind to your knob cover or settle for a plastic one ! I appreciate your skill and craftsmanship.

Maestro bonito arte

Wow...lots of work....nice job, plenty of patience. Who knew..?! i surely didnt ... thanks for sharing.

Haaaaaaaa sos un genio!!!!!!😱 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Muy buena practica

Great video! What kind of pliers are you using to stretch the top piece?

I wish you're in my country. That level of detailing and finishing, I don't think so I can find anyone to match your skills.

bravissimo

Mine shift knob is for an auto. Has a button trigger in it. Trying to imagine how I could cover it... Enjoy the videos!

masterpiece

Those are the hands of a real man. no manicured nails now lotioned softness.

could you make a video,with the constriction of the steering wheel without the old skin,and from the very beginning,where you have to do everything myself patterns!thank you.your videos is very good

on the granny knot if you pass the 2nd loop 2 times around the tail it becomes a butchers knot and will not come undone

un gran maestro, entiendo tú trabajo por qué el mio es similar, trabajo en alaboracion de chamarras y bolsas de piel

Hello, thanks for the great detailed video. I've just done the pattern for my Trans Am shifter knob (one piece design with three cuts) thanks to your explanations. Now I only have to take it off, cut the piece in the final leather, apply it to the knob and hand sew. Now I was wondering, could I use lamb skin instead of traditional cow leather ? I love the touch of lamb skin and I happen to have some meant for leather jackets and handbags. But I have the feeling it wouldn't last long.

انت فنان

Signore Cesar, Your work is wonderful demonstrative, Beautifully filmed and perfectly executed. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm interested in a few questions. First question: What you wipe the leather 37:41, I mean, it's acetone or acquaragia or ragia minerale? Leather cover after these steps, have not changed, so I don't understand what kind of solution did you have in the plastic bottle, often after the acetone(acquaragia or ragia minerale) may be dissolving leather cover and then the white thread(or any other contrasting stitch to the color of the leather ) to be painted. Last question what finish for the leather you are using?

Gosto muito do seu trabalho ademiro muito aforma de você trabalhar mas gostaria de saber se você faria banco pra moto Honda 150 fan
