Having issues getting thin leather that I can skive the flesh side. While making the interior of a wallet I want to roll the leather under for a finished look.

I appreciate the article. I was using the awl from the wrong side. I could never understand why my holes look so horrible. I was also doing all the holes before stiching. It sure helps when you do it the correct way. Once again Thanks.

You’re absolutely right; you must have a super computerjust to keep up with all this stuff. I lay a tool down for 10 minutes and can’tfind it. Chanzey 77 sends old script in an hour. Amazing. To say it one more time,Thanks.

I appreciate the help and the downloads. Its nice to have such a wide range of resources to pull from. Once again "Thanks". By the way Chance, Im sure you will get a gift soooooon. Thanks and your way to funny.

My objective is to ask for assistance in create aSheridan style script that looks nice in an area 4 inches tall and 2 1/2 wide.My attempts to draw Sheridan style script needs a lot of work. I have searchedwith no luck for a drawing or template that fits the small area. I would liketo ask for assistance from my fellow leather makers for a Sheridan drawing thatwould fit this small area. I apologize for not explaining my objective verywell. I haven’t tried the burning technique but it sounds interesting. I will lookinto that method. I just purchased a few lessons on Sheridan drawing but that’s not going to helpme for a while. I just ordered them on line and its going to be next weekbefore they arrive. Your right about the laser machines. I started doing leather for stress relief.Now that I have a customer base, I have completely lost the reason I starteddoing leather crafting. Thanks for reminding me. Due to knowing the hard work that goes into each hand made leather piece, Idon’t appreciate handmade makers’ stamps on machined leather. I have tracedseveral leather cases to the companies that mass produce these items and foundthey use lasers and stamping presses. I got carried away with my competitiveside of wanting to compete with these manufactures. Good call.

I'm looking Sheridan Style scripting for a small area. I need them for a small area as used for pocket knife sheats wore on the belt. I cant find sheridan scripting that would look good in an area 4 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide. For all the creative metric folks, 40cm tall to 25cm wide. These small areas are difficult for me to swivel cut due to my lack of experience but I'm working hard to get stronger on the knife. I'm looking for sheridan scripting that can compete against the lasier machine work in professionalism. I appreciate the input. Thanks
