Great video! Any tips on how to get a clean cut off the bevel skive? I get inconsitent tears and waves especially with softer leathers on my bell skiver.
Great video! I'm working on getting better at these. How do you feel about double-sided tape for the adhesive contact? It's what I'm using right now only because i wanted to minimize any mess, but the masking tape barrier looked interesting. Also will a roller work just as well on the sealing the back?
Shouldn’t need to if you let the glue fully set before folding the leather over, and make sure you crease the edge as that will also help fix it in place. If you’re worried about it coming apart you can absolutely always through a line of stitches in it. Just be careful not to pull the thread too tight as the leather is super thin and can rip if you stitch it too tightly
Great video Will 👍 One clarifying question: when you say beveled skive, do you mean that is slopes down to 2mm or is it like a cliff where it drops down. Hand skiver over here 😬
Bevel is a term that is used to denote a flat edge at an angle to the original. Think knife blade. The sharp cutting edge is beveled (on one side for Japanese, otherwise both sides) and the bevels join to create the sharp edge. He’s suggesting making the bevel taper from full thickness to 0.2mm at the edge of the leather.
Earlier this year i made a leather jacket our of chrometanned, aniline calfskin, and i also turned the edges. I didnt skive it because the leather was thin (1.0-1.2mm). But after a very short time, the leather began to tear on some parts of the edges. Is there any way to prevent this? i dont have a skiving machine tho.

Why not using a ruler 1/2 with of glue allocated part to bend faster

nice video, do you need to stitch it to prevent it from coming apart if it's on a moving/bending area?

Thanks for the video, Will. Very comprehensively explained.
Where’s a good source to get a fileteuse (sp?) from?

@@KateMondor no problem, If you’d like me to do a video tutorial on techniques for manual dressers let me know
Thanks. Do you know if the non electric creaeser is any good? I mean the type that has two claws with a screw to set the distance and a wooden handle.
No worries, yeah a screw crease (the tripe Ruth the two claws) will work you’ll just have to be a little careful

Is this regular wood glue?
Nice❤
