Another grand video. If you ever want leatherwork pointers, that's what I do for a living (mostly film and TV these days) and I'm always happy to share info.
@@TesseractMinis The number one biggest/only thing that helped my git gud with leather stitching was getting a stitch punch to make nice, small, evenly spaced holes. I find having a guide for "stitch goes here to make a neat straight light so helpful that I often use it on fabric that I want to hand stitch and not look shit as well.
Aye, it can be fiddly! Do you glue your seams before putting your holes in? Use a contact adhesive, or latex, or "hi-tack glue" if you can get it., never use superglue. Are you using an awl for stitch holes?
@@TesseractMinis ah, cool, aye, lots of folks use those, they're good! Oh no, that means there's only one thing then... like painting, you just have to do it loads and it'll get better hahaha
I haven't put them up anywhere yet, because the files still need some minor fit and finish tweaks, and I don't currently have the laser set up so I can't iterate the changes.
@@TesseractMinis mines in the post so I'm waiting to get all ready. Watching your videos it's like you're a year ahead of me in your hobby journey (minus your killer paint skills!!)
If you want to find premade files, there are a ton of resources. The software can import any graphics you like, and there are Etsy stores and lots of websites for cutting files.
