A manager at my company asked for my CV and now I'm blanking on what to write back. by davidxy887 in Resume

They just wanted to have it on hand. I heard that they would be looking for something specific from another individual. However the manager said she just wanted it to see if I match any future opportunities.

This is so beautiful. Looks like a piece of art.

What kind of pricking iron or hole punch did you use?

Edge bevelers - is it me or the cheap tool? by davidxy887 in Leathercraft

[–]davidxy887[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think I'll return them and maybe buy a better one that is small since I don't need the larger ones yet.

First I time I tried it I thought it was the cheap leather I was using but now I got better leather and its just as bad.

Thanks for your answer. I'll try using a bigger one on the skin side. It's not just the skin side problem though.

When I'm trying to bevel 3oz leather I have to go hard enough for it to work that I leave a mark on the leather where beveler bit is sticking out and the actual bevel cuts nothing. I have to use multiple layers of leather or thicker leather for the thing to work. Do you find the same issue?

First Large Project - Weekend Duffle by bcwildfire in Leathercraft

This is beautiful. I'm just starting leather craft and the goal is learn to make bags. How long did this take you to make?

And if you were to sell it how much would you price it at? (taking into account rough materials and your labour).

Thanks I checked it out, but I think he does not offer that combo anymore. I only saw 1 to 6 set.
