Blacksmithing - Making stitching irons for leather working

In this video I make stitching irons that you use to pierce the material when sewing leather. This was a very satisfying project, but also a challenge, since I don't own a mill, but with some creative thinking I was able to pull it off anyway. I believe these are similar to traditional Japanese style irons with a 45 degree slant on the teeth.

I have done leather work for four years. I have done a lot of holsters, knife sheaths, purses, wallets, etc. I wish I had a set of stitching punches that well made and pleasing to look at. You amaze me. I've watched you for about the entire time you've been on. I'm 65 years old and still get goosebumps watching your work. I wish everyone was as dedicated to exacting standards as you are. I have an FAA certification in Airframe and Powerplant mechanics and was a Union millwright for thirty years. I've seldom seen anyone better than you at your work. Keep it up, you are an inspiration. Old Man Andy @ Crimson Elephant Forge Knives and Leatherwork.

I loved the way you used the lathe to mill the slots. Creativity is the difference from a really good machinist to a normal machinist. Also amazing technique to temper the part on the red hot part. That worked out very well and ended up beeing super accurate.
