I recently finished a turned edge passport wallet. The skiving was challenging—by hand, as I have no skiving machine. I made another wallet that has just burnished edges. I used the same technique for the pocket/lining overlaps. All in all, I probably won’t do another turned edge piece until I get a skiving machine.
Wonderful work Mr Callaway! The great thing about this, is even after you get your machine, you will always have the knife skills to complete a project if you ever have to. Sometimes the machine may need a new knife, drive belt etc and it's out of order.
