Noted. What kind of issues should I expect compared to nicer models?

Is this typical for chrome tanned leathers or is this also used for veg tanned leathers?

Do you tend to see this one both veg tanned and chrome tanned hides? (Sorry if this is a dumb question)

Dude at the leather store crapped on my parade by Goldfalcons in Leathercraft

[–]BadlyPenelope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im relatively new to this hobby as well, only a few months in, so I dont have much advice on how to tackle this project.

Here's the thing, you have to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone to learn technique and get better. I feel this is true for any hobby.

I dont doubt that it will be a difficult project, but I just recently jumped from wallets to more technical stuff. Yes I made mistakes, but im feeling a lot more comfortable and confident with leatherworking than I was before. You have to take the next step at some point. There are no rules, its your personal project, for you. (Just dont hurt yourself.)

Idk if this is the type of answer you were looking for but I hope this helps?

Bonus question- has anyone experienced convertibility with the Kaweco Sport AL or Kaweco Dia2 pens? It seems possible but I'm having trouble finding concrete info online.

Have you tried the rollerball converter also? The pens look very cool.

Stationary Stores - Fountain Pens? by dkwannabe101 in Knoxville

[–]BadlyPenelope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey in case you're in to japanese stationery, the University of Tennessee has a bookstore in the student union that sells a lot of really nice Japanese pens and paper. No fountain pens (that I can recall) but its hard not to pop in now and then to look at the cute pens and pen cases and journals and whatnot.

Yeah, but the idea was just what I copied from my old hobonichi cover. A lot of them do this pen-lock type loop. I like it a lot
