Hello @Philip,
It seems to me in a few of your videos that you actually use quite a few cheaper tools. Bought from Amazon or eBay etc that you've then adjusted or modified to your liking or needs.
It's kind of a fresh breeze among the leathercraft blogs, vlogs and how-tos who usually use the quite expensive tools. They use a Regard fileteuse where you showcase an alcohol lamp, a cheaper looking creaser in a homemade heaterstand. The 2.7 pricking iron you used in the watch strap videos also looked like a cheaper type but the teeth still looked a bit modded. Would love to get some tips and tricks on what to think about!
It can be a bit demotivating to all those other videos when you have no clue on how to get the same results using cheaper hobbyist tools, so keep up the good work!:)
Would it maybe be possible to make a video on some tool-mods?
I blow waaaay to much money on tools. For me, this will always only be a hobby. Selling a little over facebook ect. Im never forced to work. and I get a hard on, of good tools. And the idea, of them being around when im 80, and still like good, I like.
Like hole punches. I use china set for 10$.
