krappstein Report post Posted November 17, 2014 Chrome tan scraps with pigskin lining, sewn at about 7 SPI. First attempt on the pockets with a homemade freehand hot creaser. I'm not that steady handed, just ran it along the edge of a steel ruler. Oh, and for once I used PVA instead of contact cement. Less of a hassle and I got to use my handy dandy cast iron book press. Gratuitous photos of the WIP: Cheers Juan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krappstein Report post Posted November 17, 2014 Thank you! Maybe a bit overkill to carry just a bus pass, but had a great time making it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krappstein Report post Posted November 18, 2014 Looks good to me, nice edge work. Very elegant. Tight edges. Cool looking stitching clamp too. I've been working on getting neater edges. Glad you like them. Made that clamp out of two broken chairs, Grumpy (bent boards for the jaws from one's backrest, leg from the other). The brass hinge was spendy but can't scrounge it all, right? Thank you all Juan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
