2021年1月27日 · Ive made about 20 items out of leather so far. Pen cases, card cases, pouches, sleeves, sheaths, jotters, etc. I keep making new things never revisiting previous patterns/designs and I am wondering if it is better to work on perfecting one design or to keep making new things. I am constantly gett...

2018年1月1日 · It is a great oppurtunity here knowing or reading your projects. So it sure makes it better for others giving some experienced oppinions to help your decision. A couple of your projects seem to be leather and at present flat top machine capable. These sound to be a thickness less than 3/8” total and likely way less typically.
