niniquesvk Report post Posted June 19, 2016 Build process: http://imgur.com/gallery/sd62q For some time I was curious about finer bookbinder leather and how would it hold in a bag. Bookbinder leather is made for the different use, so I was expecting some difficulties and had limited expectations from the end result. I bought two small bookbinder goats and made slim mini briefcase from them. Bookbinder leather is very delicate, winkles and scratches easy, and usually is sold quite thin. So I decided to use thicker stiffener to give it defined shape I was looking for. I have to say I quite like how it looks when stretched evenly over stiffener, it has nice texture and is very soft. Will see how its going to hold up after some use.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

panchoskywalker Report post Posted June 21, 2016 Very nice work, would love to build one for me someday. If I understood correctly stiffener is just a piece of leather, right? (English is not my mother tongue.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stiffener is cardboard like material that can bend and get wet without loosing shape. Although I have seen people using leather for this purpose.
