AndrewChung Report post Posted June 4, 2020 I bought a set of templates online for a bag that unfortunately only came with very terse instructions. I'm particularly stumped by how to assemble the flap area. The plan calls for a stack up of two pieces of 1.2mm leather with a 0.4mm stiffener in between. The template for the outer piece and stiffener is a bit longer than the inner piece, and it says to glue the inner piece on "on a curve". I understand this is so that the inner piece will pull flap closed rather than stick up in the air. But how exactly do I go about sticking these two pieces together while ensuring that there are no wrinkles and the ends line up? Also for the stitching along the bend, the plans suggest to use a round stitching hole on the inner piece with a spacing that is slightly closer together than on the outer piece. How would I go about lining these up during glue up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arturomex Report post Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Hey, Andrew, This video shows the maker glueing on the curve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkdxZsqxtdY I learned a lot watching him put that bag together. I can, I think, envision what they're talking about with the stitching but it seems overly complicated. I hope someone who has experience with this type of thing will help educate us.
