Sharpening?
When you get a new knife, what grit stone do you start with when sharpening? It already has an edge, so do I need to start from the beginning and slowly work my way up through the progression, or can I jump right in to the finer grits to just refine the edge?
Too Soon
What’s a tool you bought too early… and didn’t really need yet?

Maybe my head knife. I don’t use it that often and it is a pain to sharpen.

What was going through your head the first time you cut into real leather?

@GW Brown not the end of the world. Now that I understand how this wallet works, I can remake it quickly I’m sure. There are definitely things I would make better anyway.

Will be dealing with several obligation until Sunday. So this will have to wait until then. ( or there will be many late nights).
Custom makers mark stamps
I am hoping to find someone to make me a makers mark stamp. Does anyone know of a company that makes good ones?

@GW Brown they look like they do a great job. What do they charge for them?

This how well the arbor press works. Not bad for $50. On marketplace. So much better than striking with the mallet!
French seam?
I saw this the other day on YouTube. I thought I would implement it on my wallet. I liked how the long inside edge of my bill area can now be lined and have a clean looking edge. I will use this on the edge of the shell too.

@GW Brown it was fun to try. It really didn’t cost me much to attempt it. I tried to skive it down the length of entire seam but the end result was an uneven look. I would have had to skive about an inch wide strip so that it was thin enough to use the way I had wanted. I will definitely be using this on the tops of bags though.

@GW Brown oh yeah I will be using it there for sure I had been concerned with how to see on the lining without a seam showing. Now I know how to do that.

I just started playing with leather craft. I am a heavy mechanic by trade. I made some key chains for some friends for Xmas that spawned my new hobby
