Contributing Member JLSleather Posted February 18, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted February 18, 2016 I'm not trying to talk you into OR out of anything... but the clear fact is... a second row of stitching does NOT "share the load", as they say. The stress is STILL on the 'working' row of stitching, and putting more holes in the leather is weakening, not strengthening. Like drilling a line of holes in a board... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.

That's my view on the matter, as well. Quote
Members Modad2010 Posted February 22, 2016 Members Report Posted February 22, 2016 Very nice work, a hell of a lot better looking than my first. Have to agree with JLS on the stitching issue though. Quote
