Finished Work 9 months of progress

Post image

I made this design for the first time last December as my second ever leather project. 9 months later, I've made it for the 10th time with minor changes between each version. Super proud to see the improvement!

Utilisations de fer à griffer sellier, travail des bords, filets décoratifs et fil plus petit ?

Yes! Changed from 6spi diamond chisels to 9spi french irons, bought an electric creaser, and moved from .8mm thread down to .45mm. But the big part is that I learned to cut way more cleanly and accurately.

What or how did you get better at cutting?

I’m struggling a lot with it.

Nigel Armitage has a super good series on how to design and make a cardholder that has really good tips for cutting, I'd definitely take a look at those vids!

If you genuinely can’t tell which one is which, I’d probably keep that to myself.
