  1. Hello everyone. I am working on a project. It is a checkbook wallet. I'm wanting to use a lining leather for the interior but I'm concerned about getting a good edge burnish with two different thicknesses of leather. I was concidering incorporating a rolled outer edge with the same piece of lining leather. I think the technique is French bonded edge with a hidden stich line? I would really love any advice you guys could give me in advance.
  2. I've made one of these type of holsters. Instead of riviting, or gluing the kydex to the leather I used small screws so that I could make another kydex "shell" for a different gun. That way the kydex shell would be interchangable with the same holster. I modled mine from the crossbreed super tuck. Hope this helps. The pic was before I drilled the holes in the kydex.
  3. Hello everyone! I'm new to the art of leather craft. I like the suggestion of a metal ruler clamped to the edge of the bench sort of like a jig. I have the same problem of lining my pieces up properly. I'm currently working on a case for my ipad. Also, I am having a problem properly sizing smaller pieces. The ipad cases we see at the store, I have cut two similar pieces. The first piece is at the top stitched on the sides, and open at the top to allow the ipad to be slid behind the leather. The bottom piece creates a pocket for the ipad to sit in with a cut-away for the home button. I measured like three time before I cut. I left 1/2" around to allow for stiching. Now when I lay the pieces over the ipad, they are too small. They fit over the ipad fine but for there is nowhere near enough room for stiching. What am I doing wrong? I have run into this problem on several other projects as well. Sorry for being long winded. Thanks everyone for any help. Matt
