[Gioia]

Hello everyone,

I no longer have a fortuna skiver to skive some of my pattern pieces .I make handbags.Is there anyone willing to skive my pieces and or charge me to use their skiver.I'm in Fairfield CT. 203 257 8099 I cannot afford to buy one right noe as the price of 1800. is not justified by the amount of work I need it for. Any suggestions? garment weight 1 1/2 to 3 oz.

Here's a long shot suggestion. There's a guy who sells leather on Ebay - goes by the name 'Uncle George'. He has access to a splitter that can do full hides. He told me he'd split any leather sides I had for $5.00. You'd have to browse through Ebay listings to find him - he always has a ton of stuff up on there under Leathercraft-hides. If you find him, drop him an email
