I have two Hektar pendant lamps from IKEA with 800 lumen bulbs. I also have a large south facing window that provides most of the light in my studio. Above all that I have a large set of string lights to help fill in any dark areas. There’s also a task lamp I can move around if I need it. Not sure if that helps. Good luck.

@Edgar Welch I invested some months ago in a Nippy Skimini (https://skimini.jp/en/) and I am super happy with this purchase. Depending on your leather, it does clean bevel skive and also split skive of panels (there are quite some demos on Youtube). A big plus besides the quality of this machine is its suitability for using in a flat (not occupying too much space, not being noisy for the neighbours), super easy to setup, and the great customer service. Depending of your needs, downsides could be that it is unsuitable for extremely thick or hard leathers, and the need of replacement blades. I never worked with a bell skiver, but the upgrade from hand skiving to the Skimini is substantial and it opened me the door to so much more projects.

You can just get teflon tape to wrap on your existing foot and test that. its cheaper and if you feel like its something helpful and always in use then you could get the teflon foot.

Which rulers do you mean ? I have about 20 different one 😅

I'm not sure I can use links... I hope it's not a problem... But, I bought mine from Vulcan1989.com

I agree with MichaelB, both of those companies have some nice brass hardware. Their shipping is pretty quick also.

Hi Peter, Instead of creating a new post, I thought it would be best to add my question here as it pertains to the same topic. Should the feed roller and bell knife always run at the same speed or would we want to be able to adjust the speed at which the feed roller rotates while having the bell knife constantly running at full speed? I hope this makes sense.
