gigi Report post Posted January 26, 2017 Beautiful work and great tutorials: thank you for posting! I was watching the one about the leather watch strap: where have you bought your skiver (Nippy NP-202)? Does it have a vacuum device? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I purchased it from Japan, unfortunately no vacuum deviced attached which can be problematic for big production but fine for small artisan workshop.
