Well hello there leathercrafters!

[Renata's Husband]

I'm not the type to buy into every trendy tool or technique claiming to revolutionize leathercraft (if it can't stitch straight or lasts as long as a politician's promise) I'm out. You might catch me questioning the hype around that must have fancy awl but rest assured, I'm all about finding what actually works.

Howdy. Sounds like we think along the same lines.

No doubt! Ain't got time for gimmicks when a good tool lasts longer than half the trends out there. You got a favorite go-to tool that's never let you down?

Tools made in recent history do not seem to have the life that antique tools have. Welcome to the forum.

I have a few vintage marking wheels in 6,8,10 and 12 stitches per inch that are always there when I need them.

Thanks for the welcome @Alan . You hit the nail on the head about old tools they sure don't make 'em like they used to.

@Spottedbull Man, those old marking wheels must be worth their weight in gold. Nothing beats a trusty tool that gets the job done every single time.
