That's what I thought. A LOT of stuff to catch the thread on. :)

Interesting! Googling Moccetti at least gives one more leather related result. And I would say that the goat logo points towards maroquinerie.

Many thanks for this review!

Interesting. But is the handle really the expensive part that saves money?

Many thanks, Philip! Sometimes (gentle) violence IS the solution. 💪

@Leathercraft Masterclass And we appreciate precisely that. Among other things.

Hehe, thanks. Yes, difficult curves for sure. I guess all holes would have to be made beforehand and no additional ones can be made. 🤔

Yeah, I don't have an issue with angles anymore either, but I realise that sometimes you actually want to pierce both two pieces from the front and match up the holes afterwards. I just ordered new pricking irons and went for the 4Z irons with the reversable prongs, since I have plans that involve piercing two pieces and joining them. Reverse irons help, as I understand. But then of course I had to see what happens if you just make regular stitching holes from both sides. The result kind of surprised me.

Ah, ok. I thought maybe it resulted in a weaker seam or that it was morally wrong or something. 😄

Thanks, Phil!

😂😂😂👹

Sorry, yes, exactely.

Try it! Probably good stuff! I have recently come to the conclusion that there are a lot of stuff for leatherwork that is made in Germany. Since I live in Sweden I have started to map good dealers and online stores. This far, I have like two and I misplaced the list. 😂 If you have any tips, please post them!

I love this. Great insights and thanks for sharing!

Sick! This must be iron ions reacting with the tannic acids. Vinegaroon inside the leather.

What splitter do you use?

@Leathercraft Masterclass ok, so no secret way you hold the left needle or something like that, then. 🤔 Well, I will try it on an easier seam than the last one, since I couldn't get the left needle through one single time without looking at it om that particular seam. Maybe because the holes were very small.

@Leathercraft Masterclass @Fadi Is it more difficult would you say to chase a needle than an awl? I stitched blindly with pre-punched holes yesterday and I really wished that I knew that technique. 😬

Thanks for sharing!!

I think "very expensive" would be the way to go. Looks beautiful.
