Members VabaX Posted December 18, 2018 Members Report Posted December 18, 2018 Absolutely beautiful mate. Whats the stitching spacing/thread size? Quote
Members DJole Posted December 18, 2018 Members Report Posted December 18, 2018 Your work is stunning-- such precision and elegance! I'd be proud to own a wallet like that! And maybe someday I can do so, if I keep practicing. Quote

I'm currently using the same sized thread, but 3.38mm spacing. 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
Members JazzBass Posted December 19, 2018 Members Report Posted December 19, 2018 Man oh man- your work is SO clean- stitching, creases, etc. Wonderful! Quote
Members rodneywt1180b Posted December 19, 2018 Members Report Posted December 19, 2018 Really nice wallet! I love the color choices. Quote

Expand Yes, one that I heated over a gas stove, since I don't have an alcohol lamp yet. The creaser is from Wuta, as are the pricking irons.

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

Members AdamPCain Posted December 19, 2018 Members Report Posted December 19, 2018 Love the colors very clean work Quote
Members blue duck Posted December 19, 2018 Members Report 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
