Starting out in leatherwork, the hardest part is often just knowing what each tool is called and what job it does. Sharp's Workshop tackled that by putting together a short introduction to roughly 25 tools, all in about six and a half minutes, aimed squarely at beginners who need a fast way to look things up. The maker said nothing like this existed yet and wanted to fill that gap, which seems a fair observation given how scattered tool knowledge usually is for newcomers.
The structure is what stands out to me. Everything is split into cutting, hammered and punching, stitching, and finishing sections, and the description carries timecodes for each section and each individual tool, so a beginner can jump straight to whatever they are holding. On-screen title cards name each tool as it appears. The cutting section spans general-purpose knives, a skiving knife, a skiver, a ruler, a scratch awl, and a strap cutter, while the stitching section runs from wing dividers and an edge groover through awls, pricking irons, a stitching pony, and thread snips. Finishing gets an edge beveller, an edge slicker, and a bone folder.
Rather than just talking over still pictures, the maker uses the tools on camera wherever possible, with demonstrations of skiving, strap cutting, setting stitch spacing, punching holes, and burnishing edges, and the commentary covers each tool's function and proper technique. That choice makes the whole thing feel practical rather than a slideshow.
One thing still open is that the maker has asked for feedback to keep making the hobby more helpful to others, so there is room for this to grow. For what it is worth, the number zero edge beveller shown is a detail I appreciated. And apparently the shed is possessed, judging by the hidden background details tucked in there.
