I get a bit of a kick out of using new technology within a traditional framework. I love seeing Japanese fashion labels using tech fabrics on traditionally styles garments, denim brands making super heavy denim on modern looms with traditional details, shoe brands using fancy sole technology for a little extra comfort. It's your own line to draw. Should we discuss techniques and take advice online? That's pretty new-fangled. Did they cut credit card slots in wallets 100 years ago? Do what keeps you happy I guess, just don't stress on the crew who choose to do it some other way. Putting too many rules on things only stifles creativity, that's how I look at it. Without creativity you're essentially a human laser cutter, just churning out copies... I'm just typing my thoughts now I have a mate with an industrial laser cutter in his shed (I have no idea why). I'm heading over next weekend to give it a go. I've used it for work related things in the past, cutting signage, but never done any leather so keen to see how it goes. I'll post some photos to show how it went

Haha, yeh I'm an idiot. There's a hole on the other side. Didn't realize for all the gunk in it. Thank for the help. Other than that it's all coming along nicely. I'll share some pics when it's done

So does this pin need to be removed before I can get the pulley off, given that you can't access the narrow end, or am I just in need of a gear puller?

I'm working on a 29K53 at the moment but I'm a bit stuck on removing the pin from the pulley wheel. Any advice?
