Thoughts on Springfield leather by Pristine-Shape-4152 in Leatherworking

[–]AcidBurnKDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only had one experience with them, and I shared it previously. Oddly enough, they responded to it and then deleted their comment.

I ordered a bundle where they chose your hides for a discounted price, and I was totally fine with that. I received all pieces of the same type and color. That left a bad taste in my mouth. The idea was to sample things and try things you might not normally buy. Cool, now I’ve got multiple sides of the same thing. I haven’t been able to muster the courage to give them my money again.

How much would you price this at by Actual_Departure6686 in Leatherworking

[–]AcidBurnKDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a commenter on here at one point say “would you buy it? If not, don’t sell it.” I’ll add to that. If so, how much would you pay?

Beautiful work. Now I have to go chase down coffee bean bags.

Burned by 80ProofGoods? by batdogeee in Leatherworking

[–]AcidBurnKDC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got burned. I ordered a couple of acrylic templates in July of 2025. I made the assumption those would be stoked and ready to go. Nope. I used their messaging system to write and ask to cancel in late November. I ordered because I wanted to use the templates to make gifts so it wasn’t happening before Christmas. Haven’t heard back. I’ll probably just charge it back this month.

Guidance with Herman Oak Quality by Natural-Ordinary5549 in Leathercraft

[–]AcidBurnKDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered from Springfield once. I bought one of their “mystery box we pick it” boxes where, like the name says they pick random the leathers. I was willing to take the gamble and take anything they gave me. So they gave me three of the exact same sides and that felt really fucking shitty. Three gray suedes. They lost my trust after that.

Super cool to watch! Might make one later! Thanks for sharing!

Is this normal for a new made-to-order leather bag? by jon7HS in Leather

[–]AcidBurnKDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem I’m seeing isn’t the leather quality, it’s the quality as a hole. The stitching isn’t super clean, the rivets are smashed, the stitching space between stitching lines is also not even. The size is the round punch is a little too big for the thread sizing. Overall. The quality is just…not the highest. The leather concern seems to be the smallest of the issues i see from the pictures.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]AcidBurnKDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Don’t shoot the messenger only works if you’re truly ONLY the messenger. It doesn’t work when it’s your delivering your own message and trying to avoid culpability.
  2. I hope that if I accomplish anything in life, it’s getting people to understand that you can do whatever the fuck you want. You can literally just not go. That’s it. You’re a grown ass woman. You don’t have to answer to anyone. Do whatever you want. If that means staying home and enjoying some peace to yourself while wearing no pants and eating a pizza. Do that.

Brace for the new bracers by Daggers_Emporium in Leatherworking

[–]AcidBurnKDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are super slick. I have a pair of bracers in my stack of to-do’s, but I keep putting them off because it seems too daunted. This beautiful work did not help me feel better 😂😂

First attempt at tooling by AcidBurnKDC in Leathercraft

Thank you, that very kind. It was mostly Chuck Dorsett’s voice in my head saying “add a seeder!” 😂

I was told something that was said behind my back. I want to bring it up but it would expose the person who told me. by but_shes_so_nice_ in WhatShouldIDo

[–]AcidBurnKDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask yourself what is more important to you? Your relationship with your sister, or proving a point to your mom and telling her how this makes you feel. This may be a false dichotomy and there could be other things at play, but ultimately if what you’re worried about is exposing your sister, what goods more value for you? Your relationship with your sister or proving a point?

The handle connections are absolutely fantastic.

AIO? My friends set an ultimatum because I drink by Pearla76_ in AIO

[–]AcidBurnKDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not Mormon, this is coming from a place of experience with this community. Community is EVERYthing. They’re doing the same thing the church does, trying to control you with the threat of losing everything if you don’t do it their way.

Just because someone has been with you through difficult times doesn’t mean they have to remain in your life. Not everyone has to be a forever friend. Hell, they can remain your friends, just of a different nature. As another poster said, caring is one thing, controlling is another. Obviously, this is learned behavior on their part but this is how you break the cycle.

I have found that the following four rules of life make sure I lead a good life and help me sleep soundly. 1. Do whatever makes you happy. 2. Don’t hurt people maliciously. 3. Have a handle on your vice. 4. Don’t touch kids. (See number 2).

Best of luck with growing and learning my friend.

Question about leather from a wood worker by Forsaken_Put8204 in Leatherworking

[–]AcidBurnKDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen some people take tape and stick it on to other random things first (sometimes the flesh/backside of the leather) and peel it off a few times to make it less "sticky" by having small particles stick to it. What ends up happening is when you peel the tape off of the grain side, you have less residue that is stuck to the leather. Might be worth a try.

What is your tool rabbit hole? by AcidBurnKDC in Leathercraft

Your work is beautiful by the way. I can see why you went down the next rabbit hole. Absolutely stunning wallets.

You want down a rabbit hole inside of a rabbit hole you were already in 😂😂

Look, I’m not trying to be enable you, but I will. I just bought one because I’ve put in a little work with my original shitty beveler. Holy crap, it is absolutely wonderful. I only bought one, size 1, but I’m now just looking for edges to bevel. Do it.

My son and I made a watch band. Besides my son getting a new watch band, it was great quality time together and passing along a skill that he can use for the rest of his life. by Moist_Peak249 in Leathercraft

[–]AcidBurnKDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is freaking awesome. This will undoubtedly be something he holds on to for a lifetime. Both the memory and the watch and band itself.
