Regis Report post Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I got a few of the brass handbag frames that Seigle had in their sale paper. I "thought" they would have some kind of gripper teeth. But, each side is just a smooth channel for the leather. Would someone tell me how the leather is pressed in? e.g. Squeeze lowrer edges together on leather? Or, just flatten from one side (inside or outside?)? Does glue (barges) help any? Any tips appreciated. Regis Edited June 29, 2009 by Regis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyc1 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 I think it is only about 15 - 20 years since I read that the occupation "Handbag Framer" was taken off the list of diff. occupations listed by the Labour and Industry crowd! I guess it was a busy job once! Tony. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
