@TeranAtelier Год назад

Each chisel gives a distinctive style to the stitching of your project. The round punch is used a lot in DIY patterns as you can accurate punch out all your stitching holes following a pattern design with just a single punch and a lot of effort.

@friscokid66 3 года назад

I’ve been thinking about Crimson iron for while now, torn between Sinabroks and KS blade. I agree with you on that Crimson has a very nice stitch finish. Can’t quite put a word on it, but it has a totally unique look of its own. Too bad other manufacturers don’t make these type of Japanese holes. Cheers

@TeranAtelier 3 года назад

They are all high quality tools. KS Blade have some diamond pricking irons which would be similar to the Crimson Irons and Crimson Irons has French style pricking irons. It mostly depends on how slanted you want your stitching and availability of brands.

@@TeranAtelier Oh thank you for your response! I would love to, I’m afraid they might be out of my price range though!

@TeranAtelier 2 года назад

@@instagamrr I think the flat punch set is geared more towards lacing, a diamond chisel would look better for hand stitching. You could also try KemovanCraft which are a budget friendly supplier.

@RanjeetkumarYadav 2 года назад

Can you please make a video on how to get slant stitch with round hole punch?

@TeranAtelier 2 года назад

Round punches will not give a slant like pricking irons as it is the angle of the hole that causes the slants. However by casting your stitches it will make the stitches in round holes slightly slanted. The casting method is what I always use and you can see the steps in my stitching tutorial videos.

@baleares6454 3 года назад

Thanks a lot 🙏 for this information. May I ask which label you use for the japonese crimson Irons. Thx 😉

@TeranAtelier 3 года назад

The chisel is the Japanese Style Crimson Irons - 4mm. I use the 5 prong version in the video and I also have a 2 prong version for making holes around curves.

@baleares6454 3 года назад

@@TeranAtelier thx a lot. Are this japanese chisels from „ Wuta“ ?

@TeranAtelier 3 года назад

@@baleares6454 No, these are from Crimson Hides in Singapore.

@richardkatzman1215 7 месяцев назад

I think you should have included the Flat stitch iron used in the Saddle Stitch.

@TeranAtelier 6 месяцев назад

The flat stitching irons or lacing chisels are normally used for lacing leather around edges. I do not think they would work well for saddle stitching but I have not tried.

@msrvfx Год назад

Do you know if you can use the same sized Crimson Japanese and French chisels on heavier/thicker leather with similar efficiency, plus the 45 degree the French offers?

@TeranAtelier Год назад

Yes Crimson Hides irons and good branded french pricking irons will both have polished prongs that should easily be able to pierce and be removed from thick leather.

@TheReaper5125 2 года назад

Is there any difference in terms of durability? For instance, are the round stitches more durable and resistant to tearing as compared to the diamond stitches?

@TeranAtelier 2 года назад

A circle hole will always give the best tear resistance in leather. However that shouldn't be an issue especially when you glue the project together before stitching.

@warriorwithin9310 3 года назад

I like the ones they use on the Hermes ladies bags. Which one is that on the four you showed on your video? Thank you

@TeranAtelier 3 года назад

They would be using pricking irons and will pass an awl through each hole before the needle. That is the most traditional method and will give the most slanted looking stitches.

@warriorwithin9310 3 года назад

@@TeranAtelier Thank you for the reply.

@farhadfadayi7389 7 месяцев назад

I don't like diamond chisel, I think stitches become very ugly. I love mostly round chisel. and i do all my hand stitches with it. even smal projects. I've it from 4mm, up to 6mm. and threads I stitches with it started from 0,5 up to 1mm. even I've worked with 0,4 but I think my stitches are beautiful. but after watching this video I like to buy also Japanese style Crimson Irons chisel. thanks for great video. very informative

@TeranAtelier 7 месяцев назад

@TheGizmoGremlin 2 года назад

Would you rather buy French or Japanese style crimson irons if I want to replace my cheap basic kit diamond chisels (4 mm)? And in addition, when the budget only allows you to buy one size, would you agree that 4mm is the best choice? Thanks in advance!

@TeranAtelier 2 года назад

Japanese are the easier to use as you can lay the pointed prongs in the center of a stitching line but they have less angle than the French which give more slanted stitches. 4mm is a bit big for fine leather work but work well for medium/large items. If you intend to do mostly wallet type goods I would recommend 3.38mm which is what I have been using more recently.

@TheGizmoGremlin 2 года назад

@@TeranAtelier Thank you very much for your answer. So, Japanese are easier to use but the French ones look more elegant (e.g. like the stitches of Hermès), is that correct? In addition, the transition from 4mm to 3.38mm will lead to a more luxurious outcome when working on wallets, etc.? Unfortunately, crimson irons do not sell the 3.38mm any more, I think. On their website the only ones near 3.38mm are 3.25, 3.5 and 3.85 mm.

@TeranAtelier 2 года назад

@@TheGizmoGremlin Yes I find the Japanese style easier to use, I will likely get a Japanese style 2.7mm or 3mm with 45 degree angle (not Crimson Irons as they are only 35 degrees) for my next set. Smaller stitches are associated with fine leather work and look more elegant. Some brands even go down to 2.7mm for wallets. Crimson irons just use different sizing, 3.25 or 3.5 will be almost indistinguishable from 3.38mm.

@Raidenpt Год назад

What is that base under the leather that you use the chisels?

@TeranAtelier Год назад

I like to use an HDPE board with a layer of veg tan on top to make sure I properly penetrate the back side of the project and have no risk of damaging the prongs on my chisels.

@janebail4326 Год назад

I am wanting to buy 1 set of crimson irons. What size would be best for a beginner?

@TeranAtelier Год назад

3.5-4.0mm is a good place to start. It should cover you for most small-medium sized projects.
