I guess i'll need to step it down a level if I want to make mine look that fine. Do you use a heated edge creaser? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The creaser is from Wuta, as are the pricking irons. 4 hours ago, JazzBass said: Man oh man- your work is SO clean- stitching, creases, etc. Wonderful!

The creaser is from Wuta, as are the pricking irons. I might have to pick one of them up too. Do you use an awl as well? I have a set of the Wuta 3.38's and 3.85's, and they're narrow enough that I can punch all the way through up to about 3.5mm thick (after sharpening the prongs), so I never use an awl. Just wondering if that would still work if I go down to the 3.0's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue duck Report post Posted December 19, 2018 Very very nice indeed! Did you use heat on the edge paint? The design is really nice as well. Your own? It is great to see what quality can be accomplished using more affordable tools. Much to be said for the talent as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
