Members ken sungela Posted Thursday at 03:06 PM Members Report Posted Thursday at 03:06 PM I'm wrapping some metal trim on the interior of a car. The metal trim overlaps each other and so want to thin the leather on the ends of the trim. What tool would would best for this task? The leather is about .9 mm thick now. The end of the leather is about 3" wide. Quote

Members MarshalWill Posted 9 hours ago Members Report Posted 9 hours ago Pastor Bob posted a photo of a Chartermade skiving knife. I find that type of knife the easiest to use. Pushing gives much better control than pulling or working sideways. Here are photos of two I made but you can find manufactured ones of both designs. The one has a hole in it because I made it from a circular saw blade. Of course, the other one is also made from a saw blade, possibly the same one. Quote
