rolled over edge?

[Oscar B]

I want to make my project look more finished, and was hoping someone could tell me how much more material you leave for a rolled over edge? Do you add more space when there are different thickness? Lining, and pockets then back to lining, as would like a even line on the inside of project. Know this takes a lot of skiving, but the finished project is worth the extra work.

Oscar,

Depending in thickness of the edge, I allow 3/4 to 1" of extra to wrap around the edge. You are RIGHT, it is a heck of a lot of skiving, and you really say some bad stuff when you skive through an edge. I am headed to Los Angeles on Friday to check out bell knife skivers some more. I can sure see the advantages for a lot of what I do. Once I use one for a while I will share my experiences.
