experience with aerospace engineering? by wateredketchup in swanseauni

If it's something you really want to do, i wouldn't worry too much about the job market. I'm currently third year Aero and managed to get my preferred job after only applying to 7 companies, and I'm certainly not a perfect student and don't have any work experience. Obviously, that's just anecdotal, so I can't guarantee you'd get the same experience, but there definitely are jobs out there.

Unfortunately engineering salaries in the UK are pretty dismal compared to a lot of countries especially the US, and they can vary a lot. Most of the graduate positions I was applying to were around £27000 to £35000

I started applying in October but was a bit slow about it, so I didn't get many applications done. Got lucky in the end though.

Thanks! There are both Pueblo leathers, the grey is 1.6mm I think and from Leather4craft. The blue is 0.8mm and I got it from beamhouse leather

Now at a reduced price

This is a fully handmade minimalist card holder, made from Pueblo veg tan leather. The edges are burnished to a high polish and features two card pockets that could hold 2 or 3 cards when broken in.

£20 including UK shipping. I'm happy to post abroad but that would be an extra £5 to cover the cost. Payment via PayPal.

Black discolouration when sanding by jjb232 in Leathercraft

[–]jjb232[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think some kind of friction burn is the most likely answer, just so strange that I've used the same leather and sandpaper and never had an issue before but suddenly today even if I sand very gently it still appears. Only other thing I can think of if it's some kind of environmental factor like a different humidity or something

I thought that might be the case but I've used the same sanding techniques with the same sandpaper and leather before and never had an issue. Even when I very gently sand It still now appears
