The Leather Element: Master Tools Little Wonder Overview 

Thank you so much, E.J.! That means more than you know! That's a great tip on mounting the Little Wonder to a stool.

Thank you so much, that means a lot!

Good luck with your business man!

1 year later (maybe not exact) but I am interested in how you are doing? Did you manage to start your business?

Great tips if you have limited space! Thanks, Jim!

Good to hear! Thank you, Robert!

Hi there, Yes, we ship worldwide - you can order directly form the website and have the items shipped to you.

Hi Michelle! A strop can be just a piece of natural veg tan leather - it doesn't have to be attached to anything but it can be fastened to wood for a more stable strop. We would recommend either jewelers rouge: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-2937/jewelers-rouge-4-oz-/pr_8710 or Honing compound: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-2734/micro-fine-honing-compound-bar/pr_59820 Just apply this to the flesh side of the leather and strop your knives and blades regularly to keep them sharp. If you let the blade get too dull, you'll have to actually sharpen it with a stone but if you strop between use it should keep your blades sharp for a long time. Here is a video Chuck did on stropping if you'd like to take a look: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-phAeANzrP2w.html

The price of the Little Wonder is just the beginning. For every different use you have to buy different attachments.

Just hollow rivets. The solid copper rivets and burr setters are only available in hand setters.

Thank you so much, David! I'm happy to say we have updated the instructions to be much more in-depth and complete. We'll link the pdf below and if you'd like a hard copy feel free to give us a call! www.weaverleathersupply.com/docs/default-source/product-manual/little-wonder-manual.pdf?sfvrsn=a4860461_2

Thank you!

Hi there! Thank you for your suggestion. We can definitely see about doing a video on this!

Deerskin is way to light for a holster. Is it with hair on or off? You will have to use a backing material like a 3 or 4 oz leather, depending on the thickness of the deerskin.

It is with out hair 1/8 to 3/16 thick soft like a shammy. Light tan . Thankyou for your reply.

Like, Fran said, you will need to line it - if you line it with veg tan then that will give it shape and body since deer tan is usually pretty soft. Hope that helps

@@WeaverLeatherSupply Got it thankyou.

Hi there, The dies for the Little Wonder are made to fit the snaps that we sell. We cannot guarantee they will work for all snaps from other companies.

Thank you so much - so glad the videos are helpful!

Hi Jason, It should be working now - see if the one below works for you. www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-6650/master-tools-little-wonder-/pr_30070

Thanks so much, we're so glad you love it!

We are working on a metal plate for the base and an adapter attachment for the driver so, soon you will be able to use this with stamps! We'll make sure to let everyone know when it;s available!

@@WeaverLeatherSupply Has this come to fruition? Does this exist now?

Hi Bernard, Very cool! It sounds tedious for just a small piece you want antiqued but it's best to antique the entire piece, otherwise, you will see where you started and stopped with the antique. Hope that helps!

In my mind, to antique a smaller area use a small paint brush and use some very gentle painter tape around the area to help avoid going too far.

Hi Myke, The post should be about 1/16" longer than the leather it's going through. If the post is going crooked or flattening, then it's probably too long for the leather it's going through. The 5/16" inch post work great for an 6/7 oz up to about 8/9 oz. which would make sense that they work for your two layers of 4/5 oz. We are adding shorter post snaps soon so keep an eye out for those. They should be up on the site next week sometime and we'll try and shoot you a message when they are up.

I am also having problems with snaps on leather that is 3 to 4 oz. Need snaps for small wallets... preferably in brass finish.

When I worked in upholstery we had 2 length posts. You can grind the long posts down if you really had to.

Hi Deneena, It depends a little bit on the project you're working on. Soft tempered leather is usually used for bags, purses, things that don't need a lot of body. Natural veg tan leather will have similar temper no matter what weights you have - it can be molded, formed, stamped and tooled and it will hold it's shape. Bridle, Harness and skirting leather will also have a firm temper. Something like a milled or tumbled veg tan will have a softer temper and wont hold it's shape as well. See if that helps.

We will link it here for you www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/master-tool-little-wonder

No, this will set cap rivets and tubular rivets but not rivets with burrs or washers.

Thank you, Fred!

Hi there, Do you know what kind of rivets they are? Jiffy rivets, double cap rivets, etc? If you could send us an email with details or pictures of the rivets we can get that information for you. info@weaverleather.com
