Hi fellow leather-workers,
I’m new to leather working and trying to figure out the best ‘order’ to do things in. Bellow is a list of steps I typically take during leather working – I would love some feedback on what you think is the correct order to do things in?
1. Cut pieces
2. Bevel Edges
3. Sand Edges & back side of leather
4. Neatsfoot Oil to soften leather
5. Gum Tragacanth to slick edges & back side of leather
6. Groover & Stitching Spacer (dampen leather for this)
7. Dye leather
8. Apply finishing coat
9. Sew leather pieces together
Would you change this order at all? If so, what would you do differently?
