I've been curious how efficient of a maker I am compared to everyone else's crafting time for for certain items. Lets say a bi-fold wallet (since that is what I make most of for now:)
6 card slots, bill slot, all fully lined (12 layers of leather) and 3 coats of edge paint. Everything hand cut and saddle stitched. Used to take me 8-10 hours when I first started the craft two years ago, now it takes me about 6 hours of labor, not including drying time between edge paint coats.
How about you?
Yeah, 8 hours for such a wallet is extremely good. bravo!
