When I teach leathercraft, I tend to focus heavily on stitching. You can have the most perfectly formed and cut piece, with amazing tooling, but if your stitches are crooked or uneven, you simply aren't doing justice to your own work. When you're freehand stitching a project, it can be a bit unwieldy to hold your pieces together, as you work with your awl, especially if you're like me and don't like to use glue. The '3rd hand' is a great addition to any leathercrafter's toolbox as it frees up your hands so that you can concentrate on making your stitches as perfect as possible. Best of all, I've designed it to be easily dismantled so that it'll fit in your leather working case, or be stored in a drawer for later use.

This is an old, traditional design that's been around since leathercraft first became leathercraft, so I didn't create it. This is simply my own design, based on my dissatisfaction with store bought versions, (which can be very expensive as well), and the design changes I wanted to see in them.
