I recently picked up a really nice lizard skin. Comes in at about .3mm it looks like. What thickness should I line it with for an average exterior on a men’s bifold wallet? Thanks!

Does anyone know if Ecostick 1816B can be used to adhere leather to metal? I need to line some clamping pliers.

Hi, I'm trying to use box stitch to create a 3D shape around a curve. Does anyone have a recommended way to to mark stitching holes on both pieces of leather? If I mark them with the same spacing, the holes on the outer piece can not catch up with the holes on the inner piece because of the thickness. I'm also worried that if I only mark the holes on the outside and stitch with an awl, the holes that come out on the inside will be too close together. Please let me know if you have a good way to solve this! Thanks!

How do, all? I wasn't certain where to put this topic, hence here it is at the start. Being a lover of all genres of music, I've always had it as a companion on my leathercrafting journey. Mostly jazz, to be honest, but the dulcet tones of Annie Lennox and Amy Lee are no strangers to my workshop as are everything from Chopin & Enigma to Metallica. I've never considered a tutorial a suitable place for an accompanying soundtrack but boy have I been mistaken here. The sort of Zen-esque tracks on Peter's tutorials I feel add an extraordinary dimension, are mildly hypnotic and serve to enrapture the learning experience and elevate it. Not bad for something that is essentially pure mathematics. Do you include music in your leathercrafting? How does it serve you? And can someone PLEASE tell me what the track from the Zipper Window tutorial is??!!

Does anyone have experiences with a hand press and (small) cutting dies? For details and smaller items. If so what (and where) did you get it and how do you like it? Both the press and the dies? I have used a clicker press before during an internship but it was huge and something like that won’t fit in my atelier. And I just need it for smaller items. I know @atelierpeternitz has recommended Industrial Design Concept on Instagram but I’m not sure if they sell a hand press so I would like to know what is available and recommended. I have also seen a hand press on the website of Mando. Has anyone used this and what are your thoughts? Thank you in advance.

Hello Peter and everyone else, I have some practical business questions when it comes to selling exotics. How does it work to sell exotic items internationally? For example what are the custom duties and are there any extra fees? How do returns work? What happens if you make 3 items out of one skin with one Cites certificate? Do you just add copies of the certificate? And what is the most practical payment method for sales like this? I hope everyone here can give me some more insight on these topics. Kind regards, Talitha Joy
