thimble, pullthrough or something else when hand sering heavy duty stuff

[Robson Valley]

I like to believe that I am competent to sharpen any sort of gouge or PacNW native style carving tool.
They all have to be better than "scalpel sharp."
The very first damn thing that I did with the Speedy Stitcher was to stitch my finger.
I have never had to wield a tool as sharp as that little beast.

I have repaired shoes, tarps, aprons, wood carving gouge tool rolls . . . . . all sorts of things.
The S/S is as rough, rugged and reliable as it looks.

The YouTube video was a chuckle = same layered density of heavy canvas as my carving apron.
Easy work, watch your fingers, snug up the thread.
Do it.

Thanks robson, it looks the business, but probably a bit too heavy duty for this task, but I think getting one will be a good idea, it should replace the pliers.

You can get finer needles for the Speedy Stitcher.
