Cyberthrasher

I was finally able to get my wife's kindle cover finished up since I'm on vacation. Did the whole thing out of some 8-9 oz (scrap piece from Zack White) and then ended up putting a lightweight calf-skin liner in it to hold the elastic bands since the linen was only going to tear out. She opted not to have a closure system since it will pretty much always be in a bag of some sort. Really need to work on keeping even tension on my lacing, but the important person likes it (or at least she's just happy I'm done with it).

Slave: noun - a person who spends their time working towards other people's needs I'd say taking care of a 10 month old meets that criteria. I'm having issues right now because my puppy is basically a toddler.

Trying to finish up the assembly on that forever project of a kindle cover so I can hopefully get a couple belts out this week - before I go back to the State Facility I call work.

Just like my entire college career - everything done moments before it's due

Some of us are still slaves. Even on vacation I can't seem to get away long enough to work on stuff.

Curious - why the need to "fully" waterproof it? Is it going to be submerged or are you just looking to keep it from getting wet as it's carried in the rain or something?

What I got out of it was to hold the leather against the curvature of the pan with your knee so you can get an accurate mark. If you just marked it flat on the table, your leather will be too small because you have to account for the depth of the seat pan.
