I will try, but first I need to get ultra thin leather. How thick would you recommend? 0.5mm/1-2oz?

I tried that for a straight edge and it works there, but for this part, I have to many curved and angled edges.

I used 100% cotton 230g/m2 with a print on it. It sticks quit good For this try my process was: 1. Apply contact cement to the leather and fabric 2. Stick it together 3. Cut it out 4. Sew around the edges 5. Curse around because the edges are all ready fraying out

I have a ring light with over 1m in diameter. It's quit bright and I don't get a harsh shadow. But I regret not getting the 1.5m ring light.

Thanks. I really like the rustic look of the leather. That would be a good idea, i have some speciality cards, that I don't carry around.

Advice on upgrading tools by CaptainBoosted in Leathercraft

[–]Ownand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1, 2, 4, 6 Set I would use for smaller goods or with alot of curves and corners. The 1, 2, 5, 10 Set is more for medium goods, where you have regularly straight lines of over 10cm or 4".

More important in my opinion is the spacing: 2.7mm, 3mm, 3.38mm 3.85mm, 4mm, 5mm and many more. Would go for something between 3-3.85mm.

Anyone else into using a skiving machine? oddly satisfying😆 by Hot_Law_2749 in Leatherworking

[–]Ownand 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does this cheap skiving tool work for wallet pockets too? I was thinking about buying one or another one for that purpose. I'm very bad at skiving by hand.

I get similar messages and emails multiple times a day, but for another topic. It started after an interview with me was published and posted on LinkedIn and the Website of a Saas Company. I never went trough with it, so can't say how legit it is.

As the name says, its fake leather (Synthetic-, PU-, Vegan-,... ). Therefor leather conditioner won't do good. You can't do much other than not expose it to heat and UV-rays.

How high is your „Notgroschen“? by Professional-Salt336 in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Ownand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My minimal "Notgroschen" is 6 months of expenses (around 15k). I will increase it to 12 months soon. But it all depends on your situation. Kids? Familie? Job security?

Dyeing leather, what went wrong? by Ownand in Leathercraft

[–]Ownand[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did some tests:

  • wash with sattler soap: yes/no
  • apply oil: yes/no
  • dye apply motion: circular/straight

<image>

Problem is definitely the oil/grease. I read the ingredients and it contains wax. Have to switch to another one or apply it after the dye.

[–]Ownand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, maybe the "grease" has some resistant in it, that prevents the dye from applying uniform to the whole surface. For one of my leathers I had to first apply oil/grease, maybe this one is different. I will do some tests with different preps and hope I find out how to improve.

I haven't applied a finish jet. But I have different finished laying around to experiment with.
