MADMAX22 Report post 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.

MADMAX22 Report post 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.
