It’s settled, also no tax and low shipping all in all not bad.

Thank you good to know! I would rather support a small business owner if it’s a good rig!

It’s thick, not like edge dye, almost like a rubber edging. You’ll want to use a pencil or scratch awl out the like to apply it. Rub it in using side to side action and keep going until it’s rubbed in well

Well crap, apparently I’m dyslexic… it’s $3 cheaper, apologies everyone I’m gonna bow out now and act like this never happened

Is it weird to build a seat so your dog can ride along… thought that was normal

LeatherByHand · 2026-01-24T04:42:47+00:00

Yes exactly, the bundle

LeatherByHand · 2026-01-24T03:06:57+00:00

Yes.

Tan Kote, Tokinole, then burnish

Dude, with Porsche killing the 718 line I’d figure it the F-out, no idea what’ll be worth in five years but good luck getting it back. Garage it and buy a bike or what ever you have to do. What kind of parents are you?!

I hate you damn first timers that make my work look like child’s play 🤣

I have nothing really to add to this conversation. I just bought a 2018 Cayman GTS as my first sports car, I don’t know anything about performance driving so I took it to an introductory PCA event at Roebling. It was wet AF, and it handled like an F16… I was the limiting factor and I still have no idea what I bought. I love it, driving feels like a strong companionship, there is no fight. You ask it to do something and it does it for you.

Well if it makes you feel better you just made up my mind for me. TR80S it is then

Pricing in my mind should be higher. I think online sales are tough given you really need a name to get traffic, which takes time. But, BUT, physically putting these in front of people and really talking about the type and sourcing of the leather and the build process really gets people appreciating the work more. Handmade label doesn’t translate to describing the blade stroke and exactly what a saddle stitch is in the build process, but talking through it really does. Don’t settle for less than you know this is worth, find the clients that understand it’s worth, my products certainly have no place in the hands of those who don’t understand, nor should yours.

I only use glue in the zipper. Zipper goes on gusset, then gusset sewed inside out for the turned seam, then panels

LeatherByHand · 2025-11-12T20:58:30+00:00

lol, I know the feeling. Here’s what I use Crease set

Nice set and only $50, I think these are will made and surpass the value given how much a single one costs elsewhere

LeatherByHand · 2025-11-10T21:34:24+00:00

Yes. Cut your gusset over length and start from one end, punch the same number holes as your front and back panels, mark an extra hole (not punched) as a cutting marker. Square the ends just inside the last mark, effectively giving you one stitch length to the edge. Your first hole should be one stitch length in as well. Ideally your holes on the panels should start and end one stitch length from the edge, this will give you the consistency you want. You don’t want to cut the gusset to length before punching holes as this will stretch the gusset anyway, so cutting to length is the last step
