Thanks guys, I'll look into your suggestions

Yea I think the bottom one uses post machine as well. The top one is still a mystery to me though @@ Thanks!

Hi there again, I'm trying to figure out what kind of wood (or other materials) is best to be shaped/turned into a leather mold that will allow me to create more structured leather bags and so on. I found this Youtube video quite informative "Making High Quality Leather Bag Moulds" but I don't really know which kind of wood will allow repeated use without the water and pressure changing the wood. Also, since I don't have a wood shop, are there places I can look at to have people make those molds for me? I'm in the US Thanks!

Hi experienced leatherworkers, Newbie here, first I want to thank you for your time and willingness to help, I really felt the supportive vibe from the threads that I've read on this forum. So I've been trying to figure out which sewing machine to buy that will enable me to sew the most types of sewing seen in bags. I'm really drawn to the more structured bags with defined geometries, but I could not in my head imagine how I would sew the inside of a bag such as Building Block's beautiful square cross-body bag. It looks like the sides are in one continuous piece of leather and are sewn onto a square back. But looking at the stitchwork, I simply have no idea how a sewing machine can achieve this. Another example is Mansur Gavriel's sleek crossbody bag. here's a quick one, the side edges of a typical leather tote are sewn by a transverse cylinder sewing machine right? Thank you all!
