tagfan Report post Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) So I don't skive the edges of my leather when constructing bags. Its not easy - but I wonder if it would look better and be easier to construct if I invested in a bell skiver? You can see the thickness in the pic. Its 4.5 oz veg tan - Edited June 3, 2019 by tagfan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SolarLeatherMachines Report post Posted June 3, 2019 Yah. It would make a big difference. Even just taking off 25% of the thickness would sharpen the edges without losing too much strength. check out this video: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tagfan Report post Posted June 3, 2019 Thanks Alexander. I figured this type of machine would help...doing it by hand would take hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
