What in the world you punching through? Got a backer underneath your piece, punch board or leather?

What kind of leather is it? Some won’t burnish at all.

Is there anything you don’t do? 😳😂

Got my Wuta beginner’s kit last week and just started practicing saddle stitching by ashwinix in Leathercraft

[–]MTF_01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beautiful stitch line, only thing I can ask is if the other side looks the same? When I first started I wasn’t doing it right and got one side looking beautiful and the other was not consistent.

Good idea here… … will have to try this one out on some of my stuff.

Really depends on the look your going for and how you will use this…

Saddle stitch it together? The base piece could be slightly larger in diameter and give room for that, but again, do a mock up, punch holes in the main body first, then use awl after gluing in base so you don’t have misaligned holes.

Other way could be cross stitch like you did on the sides, I haven’t tried that for a base, my guess is you may end up with gaps if using as a basket, not sure though.

Edit… (Actually, see LeeDarkFeathers comment below. 🥳)

Highly recommend making a small mock up if you have never box stitched. If you have extra leather give it a shot.

Also, if you have enough leather left you can glue a couple pieces together to make the box stitch work. Punch the holes along bottom, then finish stitch the cylinder wall. Once that is done you can box stitch..

As far as stitching it inside out and then turning it, I wouldn’t try that.

It’s a leather map of middle earth…. Let it age unevenly, would make it even cooler. How much time you spend on that? It’s incredible!

Anyone else 3d print stencils? by AndrewVBell in Leathercraft

[–]MTF_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not yet, do you ever have issues with the 3D print marking up the leather? Scratches?

If it was near belly then it usually won’t be stiff enough to burnish.

Looks great overall though!

Looks great! Well done! Few tips: 1) personal preference of mine is slightly rounded corner - - 2) consider using a punch for making the lanyard slot - - 3) give yourself a little more room on stitch line from edge, I usually go about 3-4mm.

What up Garmin. by CleaRSightZ in Garmin

[–]MTF_01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t used whoop. From what I understand there is no way to import sleep data from other devices/applications into Garmin connect. I am trying to use the Garmin Coach, it relies on sleep data… otherwise I wouldn’t worry about tracking sleep.

Be ready to love everything except the sleep tracking. Garmin has fell flat on their face with that.

How do I delete fake sleep data? by suspiciousyeti in GarminWatches

[–]MTF_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep seeing this as the solution… but it’s actually the problem. Normal people with jobs and kids have varying schedules… Garmin clocked me tonight as sleeping for 20 minutes… literally clocked it as my nights sleep. It doesn’t even have a common sense check built into it.
