short YouTube video by Shoegazing showing Daniel Wegan handwelting
- over the lap, no lap board
- shoe between thighs, strap over both legs
- piercing from inside out
- channel is a carved slope, not a gouged groove
- holdfast appears to be pre-pierced
- twisting the awl a lot to pierce
- presses down on the welt with the forefinger of his left hand
- appear to be boar bristles, or possibly monofilament
- bristles are relatively short
- feeds the outside bristle in immediately after removing the awl blade
- feeds the inside bristle through past the outside bristle
- casts on the inside
- pulls both bristles at the same time
- pulls the inside tight by wrapping around the awl haft, just one loop
- haft is a very tapered cone shape with an knob-like pommel
- pulls the outside tight using a hand leather, wrapping the hand once and setting it to the outside of his left thigh, bending the wrist of the left hand in a knocking motion against the thigh to tension
- taps the awl blade into some kind of lubricant, off camera, between stitches
