Hi gents,
been into leather working for a month and a half.
1. FIRST TIME: I was 15 and bought some buckskin scrap. Made a crappy wallet with thread and an awl.
2. NOW: Got into it from watching YouTube and moving away from an area with surf fishing. After a couple months started to experiment. Did three passport wallets and two knife sheaths for some Zwilling knives.
3. WHY I JOINED: To find out things that YouTube doesn’t show. Granted, I may be having problems with cheap tools and cheap leather. But some people look like they are edge skiving wallet pockets with slightly damp veg tan. That would make sense. A lot of sense considering some veg tan is hard as MRE BOX cardboard.
WHAT I KNOW SO FAR: Nothing really except I am better off using sandpaper to knock off lips than a $10 #0 edge beveler from Amazon.
