CFM Frodo Posted February 25, 2021 CFM Report Posted February 25, 2021 Cheap tools will make your work look like ,LOL Ok. right here I could really get into trouble but I am going to hold my tounge Cheap tools will make your work look cheap. here is an example of what I speak. my compas cost around 8 usd at wally world I used it all the way around both of these pieces of leather Do you see how I am flush on one side and standing proud on the other? I did not want to spend $20 or $30 on a compas, BUT. it looks like i have no choice Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
Members Hildebrand Posted February 25, 2021 Members Report Posted February 25, 2021 @Frodo it could be the compass but I think it is more likely that as you were going around one of the pieces you were not able to keep the compass perfectly perpendicular to the edge. As you travel along the leather if one leg gets ahead of the other it changes the actual distance between them, this is particularly tough on corners. This might save you buying an expensive tool that might not change the outcome. Todd Quote
