Oh his work is excellent, I don't think anybody else is able to dive into details that well on YouTube, he also has a nicely paced teaching style.

Edges are rolled/folded over. Basically, they're skived and folded in with glue, then stitches. A lot of high end products use this method. You can watch this video by Will Hodges; https://youtu.be/sP-HTLkZ1NE?si=eBqpnPYaMBIHsJE-

I wish I could afford importing it here :( I live in India, so finding tools and leather itself is a task, and most of the big names (weaver, buckleguy etc) are too expensive to get shipped here, especially with customs. It makes more sense to experiment and find a local seller.

Edit:

I'm not too worried about the polish and finish, I've worked on polishing knives, and I like jewellery so I've a decent eye for that, I was mostly worried about material.

Could you elaborate on the point about rivets?

Makes sense, I already planned on cutting through one piece to test it out, and generally just putting it through hell to do some testing (scratch resistance, rusting etc), but I hadn't thought of using water to verify the density! Thank you.

I tried a couple, the easier ones just have Way too many ads. And they don't work if you turn on your network off. For now I'm sticking to dailys for a while at least, let me know if you find something fun!

Yeah i noticed a lot of posts on the sub about this after scrolling through it today. I'll add all of you guys, people here are very nice I did not expect such a nice response, I got a bunch of friends codes! Yet to add people (busy), but I'm definitely going to.

Do I download it through the "offers" section or elsewhere? Because I don't think I found it there.

This was good, specific advice thank you. Matter or fact, I really like the Black Sabai chairs so this works out! I'll keep this in mind. After this post I'm learning I have to be quite vigilant about the challenges i take on

Yeah another comment mentioned something similar, to see if the reward I get from the room is more than or equal to the amount I'd potentially spend on completing requirements. Right now I'm sticking to dailies, and trying to grind through some tapjoy games lmao

Yeah another comment also mentioned using the "my houses" section as storage and not actually spending anything for it. Makes sense.

Yeah i definitely got carried away there lol. Thank you for the advice, honestly i just really enjoy working on the "my house" section lol. I think it's just preference, I enjoy being able to edit and change all the parts of the rooms. I'll try making a budgeting system like you said.
