By using the Websters dictionary definition,  I can only conclude that if you use a sewing machine in the leather process then your work is handcrafted

not hand made

If you hand stitch then your work is handcrafted and/or handmade

BTW...did you get an elk? Back strap steaks?  jerkey?  sausage?  

 

Four, me ,my son, and two of my daughters! two cows two spikes and yes all of the above. I make and smoke my own sausage, corned elk, pastrami and some jerky, I usually give my hides to the vfw but am thinking next year possibly making rawhide for my self as I just priced elk rawhide, seems I give away a couple grand every year just in deer and elk.

  Yea I think I've found the answer for me in the federal trade commission rules, bottom line its all about pleasing big brother no matter what a person or their patrons feel is right, if you make the whole product from basic raw materials using hand tools then its handmade,  such as your awesome baby grand, if you hang a store bought buckle for example then it isn't completely handmade anymore. I think for now its best not to use the term in any advertising and let the consumers know what parts you have done by hand if you feel the need as most here have said.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Thanks yea hunting has always been about family it is still a way of life for us "hillbillies"here in Wyoming we can still manage to live primarily on wild life, fish and a big garden, with most of our sustenance coming from the land not the store. That's the recipe I use for my rattlesnake skins I might try that on some rabbit first, oh yea we raise rabbits too lol much better than chicken. By the way love your dog ,we have a Beagle we rescued from the pound looks just like yours in the face.

love My dog, But she got me into mega trouble, last Christmas  she went down the road to my nearest  neighbors house.  

Tore up the Naivety scene, and ran off with baby Jesus.  I could not deny that she was guilty. with a trail of garland strung out down the road t straight to her dog house

We hunt a lot of wild pig,     farmers want us to get them out of the fields.They can ruin a whole crop in one night

Would love to go pig hunting we don't have them here, it would sure help my bacon and sausage costs lol, that is one thing I have to buy at the store pork for making my bacon and sausage. LOL my dog, Sissy, doesn't get off her leash much but she sure can bark a lot didn't know that about Beagles and the lady at the pound forgot to mention it, she will even bark at her own echo.

Who said people do not hunt with the really really scary black semifullautomaticbolt action 6000 rounds per minute AR-15 with the hand hold thing and the bullet compressor  rocket launcher?  {Sar-CASM}

Maybe a better distinction than the term "hand made"  would be "single maker" - where a craftsperson sees the the whole process through from leather selection to finished product.

Yes, i am with billy bopp here, made from start to finish by the same maker, with or without sewing machines, skivers etc..

Unless it’s with a hand powered machine, such as a Tippman.
