MADMAX22 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Well made another small purse for a friend. This time I used the crazy horse I have. Pretty much same design as the last one except this time I decided to try out one of those miter joints. First time doing that so it was a good learning experience. The stitching on such isnt that great but Ill get better at it. Stabbing the awl at the angle like that is a little different. So 8oz body, lined with suede. Linen thread dyed brown. Thats about it, oh threw in a little name tag also. If I do that again I will stitch it in sideways instead of up and down to keep it closer to the body. I will post a how to thread on this once I get the pics organized, not sure if I should do it in the how to section or the purse,wallet, and belt section. Edited May 22, 2010 by MADMAX22 Quote

MADMAX22 Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Posted May 22, 2010 Hey thanks guys, Troy thats a really nice website you have hooked up, took a peek at it today. Luke thanks, this leather was a little different to work with. Question for you or anyone else but on the miter joints when I edge bevel them the edger wants to kind of cut a groove down the center of them. Hard to explain but basically its like it wants to make a M down the miter joint. It went away after I worked on it a bit and burnished everything up real good but still kept thinking I was doing something wrong. Maybe I need a different size edge beveler or something. Quote
