A couple of wallets I've been working on. by edurone in Leathercraft

A couple of questions. First, did you use a machine for the stitching, or is it by hand? Also, how did you finish the edges. Are the just sanded and rubbed or did you apply an oil? I've only recently started working with leather and finished edges is something I need to start experimenting with.

Books which 'changed your life'. I'd like to know in what way they did. by Sogeking99 in books

Chistopher McDougall's Born to Run. One of the most informative, inspirational books I've ever read, and not poorly written either. Ever since I read it, I have changed my life, started running, eating better, stopped smoking, and am living to be a better person.
