Members capretta Posted January 26, 2014 Members Report Posted January 26, 2014 Pahaha okok, you guys seem to have a better grasp of the metric system than I do. Youre right I meant 7.5 mm of course. And you say you happily awl 12mm ? I will have to check some youtubes because I just couldnt imagine it with my technique. Quote
Members Sona Posted January 26, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 26, 2014 "Happily" isn´t the right word, but it worked quite good. As I said, it took a bit more time and effort, but it worked out (http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=50790&hl=%2Bstick+%2Bbag The edge of that bag is like 2 Layers of ~3,5mm and 2 layers of ~2,5mm. So that´s the thing i am talking about) You just have to be sure to keep your awl real (!) sharp and polished! And on this project, I used a little bit of beeswax, which let the awl slide through the leather easier. But of course it is more exciting to have thinner edges to stich ^^. Quote
