Thank you for the information.
I appreciate it.
#1. Is a groomer, The edge of the center piece follows the contour of the leather
The arm looking thing is the groover
Set it at 1/4" from the edge to the center of the arm
Now drag it along the contour of your leather and the arm will cut a grove
Now both pieces of leather have a channel in the EXACT same place
Next
Find a corner. This is your starting point
In the corner where 2 grove lines intersect
Place your 6 time chisel in the intrrsection
Hit it
Now move your chisel and set it down with the first time in the last hole
Do this every time
So what you have is a 6 tine chisel that makes 5 holes each time
Now, listen up, count the holes. Using a 6 tine you count by 5s
So. You have 18 holes (example) then a turn. You used your chisel 3 times
That is 15, Back the chisel up and repunch 3 to reach the corner
On the exact same thing to the piec of leather that is going to be sewn togather
Turn corner, punch holes to next corner
Count holes
Punch other piece same same
#2 looks to be a set tool need to se end to tell you what it sets
#3 is a speedy stitcher

Do you know how to buck stitch ?
Do you have a stitching pony?
I donot use them but most folk do
If a stitching pony is several pieces of wood.
One of those pieces is steamed bent , bolted between two other upright post, attached to flat piece of wood.
Then the answer is no, I have seen pictures of them but that's about all.
I have some waxed thread, black, beige,cream,white.
Also have needles in various sizes.
I know how to do a whip stitch, V stitch, but not sure about buck stitch.

Buckstitch is supposed to be the strongest stitch there is
Basically you put a needle on both ends of the thread then you go down through the hole to the middle of the thread take the top needle over to the next hole down the bottom needle goes to the same hole the top came through and goes up if you use a diamond chisel this is a beautiful stitch the secret to the stitch is you do the same thing over and over exactly the same thing when you take the topstitch and go down you pull it back towards where you came from now the thread is on one end of the chisel hole or diamond hole however you want to say it. You take the bottom thread up missing the top three – why you grab the thread and pull it to one side so that you can bring the other one up
It is not as complicated as it sounds I will make you a video
This is how you thread a needle
Q
Q
Diamond chisel Buck stitch. Also know as saddle stitch
I wrote up / down
This represents the needle placement
When you go down, pull the thread opposite direction. Or away from the hole so the up needle does not periece the thread.
