Description: In today's video, Chuck is back with some more helpful leather shop tricks. Chuck recommends taking the time to find quality tools, and shows us the differences between an inexpensive chisel set and a high-quality set that will last for years. Next, he demonstrates how to use scrap material to make sound dampers for projects featuring sleigh bells. If you sometimes struggle when hand sewing thicker layers of leather, Chuck shows us a neat trick to pull stitches tight with less effort. Finally, Chuck demonstrates how to make a mobile drying board, which is very helpful if you're dyeing leather in a small workspace.
