New Leather Cutting Machine! (also Milk vs. Dark chocolate?) 

Viewer: "Can we get dice trays with human leather to match our Necronomicons?" WW: "Theoretically yes, but Frank says no."

I worked in a rubber factory for 6 years on and off, and used a clicker constantly throughout my time there. Using that back section to pull leather through is fine, but you will lose a lot of material if your workers don't think about what they are doing because of the irregular shape of the cutters and the leather. Just where and how to position the cutter can lose a lot of material very quickly if they don't try to maximise what they can on the fly. Also loading and pulling the leather through can be annoyingly tedious for large orders. You'll want bench space one side or the other of the clicker so the worker can set up to click 200 items in one long stretch without having to stop the motion of clicking (its all about a rhythm on large orders). The job isn't hard but its mind numbing and you can get complacent very quickly. We typically would hand cut sections down to a more manageable size and keep containers for scrap that can be reused for smaller cutters/forms. Focus on one item at a time because resetting machine and your work space breaks your flow and loses time.

Yo shoutout to Dale! What a champ. From his work on the M&T, and even before, it’s obvious that wyrmwood needed a process engineer pretty badly

9:47 A BIG TONY APPEARS (also leather colour preference depends on the wood colour)

Just wanted to point out that after the conversation at 11:57 what they ended up using was a rubber mallet and not a dead blow hammer, which is why the mallet head rebounded like crazy and the wood bounced all over the place, and also why not much force actually made it into the die. An actual dead blow hammer would have probably done a great job with the exact same setup.

Really cool to see big Tony. He should be more in the show 💪💪

Wyrmwood luck strikes again: New machine comes in, oil leaks out.

I feel like this part of season 9 is a shout out to all that watched from the beginning in some way. we see all the old faces again its amazing! I missed Tony and Bennett, now we just need a return of savage and quinn :)

Dude if you can get kangaroo leather, that would be crazy cool. Kangaroo is the strongest leather while also being thin. That's why it's used in whips so much.

I adore Dale!!! I mean this is the best way possible, he just reminds me of a classic, New England guy. Someone you'd run into up in Maine. Always love his appearances in WyrmLyfe!

*Big Tony Looks at Leather*...Leather Clicks itself

1:45 “Cast Iron is a type of Steel…” ROTFLMFAO

Jesus, can Wyrmwood ever catch a break on a new machine where it actually works as advertised and there's no structural or process issues when they first get it? It's like every machine manufacturer decides to send Doug their lemons.

Look Tony is right. I like milk chocolate when I'm doing smores, And I like Dark Chocolate when I'm baking. You need to use the right chocolate for the food or task at hand.

Chocolate comes for the Nahuatl word that means "food from the cocoa plant" (ish) So yes, white chocolate, being mostly cocoa butter, IS chocolate

We love an episode with Big Tony!

Big Tony needs his own show. You should send that machine back and just get the Ali Baba one.

I really hope Big Tony sings. His voice is SOOO DEEEEP

Teacher here! "You learned what you needed to learn, when you needed to learn it"... thank you! this is something any teacher would love to hear!

I personally had used a clicking machine alot in a leathergoods manufacturer. As others have said you have to care about how to maximise amount of material. Also one thing to note is that the cutting board and the knives are consumables. Cutting boards wear down as do the knives Noting knives wear down in two ways, the knives become dull and knives also break, generally at the soldering. Not to mention that mistakes do happen so if there is a tool being used, like something to push the leather back out of the knife (like a screwdriver) then sometimes you might click on top, breaking the knife. Regards to pulling through, its exactly what's its for. You just have to ensure that the material doesn't touch the hydraulic cylinder, with the result being grease over your leather.

Big tony has the voice of a man who has succumbed to the dark lords will.

The Return of Big Tony!! HELL YEAH

What I would cut--a leather Wyrmwood badge to sew onto my backpack. Keep up the great work and happy Thanksgiving!

I need big Tony to voice a giant in every campaign I run for the rest of time.

Big Tony videos always get a thumbs up.

You should get a business partnership with weaver. They are amazing people and chuck would be a great guest on a Wrymlife episode

I was literally thinking earlier today that I havent seen Big Tony in Wyrmlyfe recently.

Tony sounds like he inhaled a bunch of sulfur hexafluoride

My favorite channel. Wyrmlife always brings the best content with NO ADS!! Im always excited for Wednesday because I know a new Wyrmlife is on its way. And if you are hiring for a videographer/editor for media, I'm located in North East PA and would love to talk to you guys!

Big Tony "Big" LOL Finally caught up after a pretty epic binge this past week. Wyrm Lyfe legit helping see me through a breakup rn.

Where I work we work on vinal and a lot of the time send it to TDC or Thermal Die Cutters. I haven't ever used them, but they seem like they work very similarly. The biggest difference other than the use of heat is that the die is made of wood and gets pinned into the matching and closes on it with some sort of hinge.

Y’all should do a small run of products with exotic leathers and make them like Numbered Collector/Limited Editions. Here are some Exotic Leathers. Crocodile Alligator/Caiman Stingray Snake/Python Lizard Elephant Giraffe Etc…

BT in the hooouuuuuuuse! Good to see the BFG on camera again!

How come I could imagine Frank shaking his head watching his laptop screen when the guys with the hammer trying to cut the leather with those clicker dies

Love seeing Big Tony.

Just a quick warning, hydraulic leaks can be very dangerous. I know you're all experienced shop workers but pressurized liquid can do some really bad stuff to you. Look up Injection wounds sometime. Pressurized break fluid or hydraulic fluid can get into your body and bring deep infections quite quickly. One of the most common ways to lose body parts.

wanted to see some woodworking and antics on a chaotic Wyrmwood vid, got a new Discovery Channel documentary about hydraulics

BIG TONY!! The Legend

Wyrmwood, made from The Bones of Trees and The Skins of Beasts

I worked for a shoe company back in the late 70's and that's how we cut the leather for our shoes.

Big T! The sasquatch of wyrmwood

Big Tony!!! Your the Best!

Both leathers look great and I concur with Big Tony concerning wood types. As for chocolate, I love Dark Chocolate over milk chocolate.

Man I could really up my collection of Gimp Masks if I had a clicker. Future investment.

How is Big Tony not a voice actor yet?

New Tabletop Tiles Keychains Machine!?

Big Tony!

FUCK YES! BIG TONY IS BACK!

❤️ Big Tony

Loving the creative subscribe bits. Would do it again and again if I could :)

I remember that star wars arcade game! So fun, I think it was Atari Star Wars

Well done at the end. HAhahah

So was the leak fixed? Or do you just buy hydralic fluid by the barrel now?

I used a clicker press in a previous job. We cut 12"×12" squares for testing composition of the products we made: phenolic resin padding. That's it. In house testing, not a retail product.

I’ve got to say it, that wasn’t a dead blow, but a rubber mallet. Also, I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to use rubber mallets when working on/with leather

I would click out the leather for my player desk that I am waiting on ;) < 3

It would be cool to have an episode on how fulfilment is going and how far through you guys are. I'm not a backer so I'm sure you giving updates on Kickstarter but I am curious to know more outside of the snippets we get in wyrmlife

Now THAT is a flat clicker.

"Whatever animal is abundance" + "What animals can you get leather from that would be like crazy?" - Any other Rimworld fans out there started giggling uncontrollably?

"with a sledge hammer" he says and brings a rubber mallet.

I leatherwork as a hobby. They make cutting dies just like that for hammering. The practice is way older than clicker tech. The problem here was you were losing probably half the energy or more by the beam jumping in the air. The dies I've seen had posts to target with the hammer. For that size, I'd expect 3, but I could see it being made with 2 strike posts. If you know what you are doing, that would be 3 quick strikes and done. And yes, they can be made to cut multiples, and/or thick leathers.

do you guys source your leather from a US tannery? If not, might I recommend SB Foot from Minnesota. They sell the leather that is used for Redwing boots amongst other things, custom chairs, couches, US military footwear, handbags, coasters, etc.

What would I cut? As many layers of leather as I could. Just to save as much time as possible. Then see about making a stencil that has all or as many patterns as possible.

God. Damn it. Everytime someone says Pressure, it happens. I should expect it, but it Gets me EVERYTIME.

I’d click out some nice Wyrmwood gaming leather bracelets.

I really like the lighter leather!

I would cut a Giant Wyrmwood logo and have you guys make a custom tray in the shape of the shield. Have the shield imprinted on the leather and lol for laughs #SubscribedWyrmling 😂

It's like you WANT Peta to come Visit you?!

But did they fix the leak?

Cat silhouettes, flames, water shapes, anything really depending on what sorta project I want to make

I wouldn't choose snakeskin. The scales are delicate and get worn off quickly with repeated dice rolls

It sounds like y’all need an actual procurement person with experience with how equipment is sourced and stuff to find the best deal.

Shark skin, scoby leather

i like dougs hat

If you used a brass or lead barrier a hammer blow would probably do the trick. The would just bounces too much.

Wonder how much of a bounce change you get from the different leathers, if it's thinner I'd assume you get less bounce?

Dark chocolate all the way! Milk is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too sweet for me :-D

ALLIGATOR!

Love me some Big Tony

I'm kind of curious what leather made from chicken would be like... Given a choice between Milk and Dark Chocolate, I'll take milk chocolate... but at the risk of being branded a heretic, I much prefer cocoa butter to cocoa powder, so my preferred emulsion containing extracts from the cocoa plant is white chocolate... sucks that so much of what's sold under that label substitutes cheaper vegetable oils like palm oil. And now I want to try adding some white baking chips to some doughy oats.

Me, a dog trainer, hearing them talk about having a clicker and expecting the wrong thing Every Time for a half second somehow despite knowing better

But have you tried ruby chocolate? I've always been a great lover of dark chocolate, but I tried ruby a while ago and it's just incredible.

I have a wallet made of kangaroo leather.

I keep missing the premiere! Ugh! So…new toy, huh?

Is it just me or does Big Tony sound like Aech from ready player one?

HELLO DALE'S WIFE!

Silly Rabbits.... American "Distributors" aren't American Manufacturers.

If you guys are looking for some exotic leathers you should hit up Springfield Leather. I may know a guy that works in R&D there.

Much prefer the milk chocolate leather honestly. The darker color might put me off buying more leather accessories. Sorry, but... (They're right that it depends a little on the wood though.)

All I’m saying is I’ve never seen big Tony and Andre the Giant in the same room….

Human leather! :-D

excuse me! White chocolate IS chocolate. It's pure cocoa butter. Unless you get the fake white chocolate which yes, isn't chocolate. but if you eat REAL white chocolate, it tastes the same as baker's chocolate because it's 100% cocoa butter, unless you get it sweetened. I don't normally get it sweetened.

Air is a fluid, so you can compress fluids. :-P

You guys should do faux leather too!:)

how far into the pokedex are you guys with your sprints?

what would i cut you ask.... well... Id... cut my life into pieces.... XD sorry i had to

Milk chocolate and milk chocolate leather is my preference

Why is it a "clicker" and not a "dye cutting machine"? just different industries coming up with names for the same thing?

Somebody should get Dale a shirt (or a hoodie, rather) that says "It won't be hooked up until tomorrow." That would save him a lot of time.
