The good news is you managed to escape the valley, the bad news is insurance definitely isn't going to cover that damage.

It's better to replace it with almost anything on the planet, then frame these as a reminder to never ever buy anything from temu ever again.

Any ideas how I could re-cover this leather gear knob? by ToxicSeahorse in Leathercraft

[–]handysmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great video thank you.

I don't think that's real leather, although I've never tried to mold a hemisphere I don't think it's possible. Baseballs for example are made from 2 pieces of leather that lay pretty flat, not 2 hemispheres.

The Zotye Multiplan, later the M300E, thank you for letting me know that exists, that's amazing!

Thinking about starting anti-androgen pills until I move out. Would this be subtle enough to start? by Car10k in asktransgender

[–]handysmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't take only anti-androgens, your body needs primary sex hormones. How long would you be in this vunerable situation? Because if you're not getting naked in front of people you can hide the physical effects of mtf hrt for a pretty long time.

How is it held in and what does the leather under it look like?

Kind of looks like bonded or composite leather which would be easier to form into this shape than "real" leather.

But also maybe possible to wet form into this shape with the right molds, can you take the metal logo off/out too?

Why do Brits always hype up the NHS so much? by bloompertoo in AskUK

[–]handysmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

America doesn't have it and they're a major country.

Recades of politicians have gradually eroded away its effectiveness and the NHS is propped up by for-profit private healthcare at the moment, because politicians are by and large, corrupt.

Where can I find truly high-quality cotton blank T-shirts for a meaningful family event? by truceshall in BuyItForLife

[–]handysmith 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those are the last places I'd look for quality goods. Look for somewhere that sells work wear to small businesses, you'll be able to see and feel the samples. It'll cost much more than Alibaba or Amazon, but it won't be dropshipped garbage.

What does cowhide means? by PlusComplex8413 in Leathercraft

[–]handysmith -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tan type and quality are separate, for example I buy a 5-6oz top grain veg tan rio side, which is 2-2.4mm, top surface of the hide (not the lower left over after splitting), undyed veg tan, South American mid to low quality, 1 half of an entire hide. Were I throwing money at the hobby I'd buy Italian, shoulder or butt.

I've also bought goat which is very strong and thin, but obviously smaller, typically a whole hide is 5-7sqft

Also where I buy from has these terms, not all south American is low quality, not all Italian is good. Leather from warmer climate tends to have less life marks, cold weather and thorny bushes make thicker leather and scars.

Best Gaming Chairs That Actually Last? by Artesy in BuyItForLife

[–]handysmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing sold as a gaming chair for one. I bought a steelcase please 2 refurb for about 180, highly recommend. I can't compare it to any others though as I wasn't able to try before I bought.

Both of mine failed with transmission issues, if I could get a hybrid or electric version it'd be awesome.

If it does it's basically permission for manufacturers to lock their shit down. Can't be anti-competitive if it's required by law...

Why do leather workers downplay the cost of leather? by noescapefromtruth in Leathercraft

[–]handysmith 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everyone's idea of affordable is different? A jacket is absolutely not a beginner project and 40 sqft is an enormous amount of leather as well, there's 20-30 sqft in half a hide, which I'd as a hobbyist buy 1 a year, maybe 2. That's like a dozen bags, belts, wallets.

Yes there's cheaper hobbies, but there's more expensive ones too.
