How to cover a knob handle with leather using a Gaucho knot 

I made this particular knob handle for a gear shift on a truck. The same general idea can be used to cover many different types of tool handles.

I am always working on building something and try to average a RU-vid video once a week. Most often they are about leather work, but I have also posted videos on black smithing, knife making, casting, and even how I make soap.
